A Second Chance at Life


Reliv stories are so amazing. Recently we spoke with a dear lady named Amy who had wonderful results with pain from serious auto accidents and chronic colitis. Read her story you'll be very encouraged.

Amy Manning of Tomball, Texas, has lived with chronic pain from disease and accidents for almost two decades. “I was in a serious automobile accident in 1988 and another in 1998, and went through over 30 surgeries,” Amy says. “I had been taking narcotic pain medication for over 15 years. I also had to deal with several other serious health concerns.”

Amy decided enough was enough and set out to find a way to improve her quality of life. “I watched a dear friend of 27 years, Cathy Williams, regain her health with Relìv, so 7 months ago, I started on the products,” Amy says.

“Today my pain level is much lower than in the past, I sleep well, my energy level is way up and the ‘foggy brain’ feeling is gone,” she explains. “I am living the life I never thought I would have. The thing that’s most important to me is that I get to enjoy my husband again and my grandchildren. God has given me a second chance at life!”

Reliv International Reports First-Quarter Results; New Distributor Enrollments Rise 19 Percent

Reliv reported a 19 percent increase in the number of new distributors joining Reliv in the quarter, compared to the number joining in the first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, Reliv enrolled approximately 8,400 new distributors compared to 7,030 in the prior year quarter.

Robert L. Montgomery, chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, "In an effort to increase sponsoring this year, beginning in January we began offering distributors half-price distributor kits. I believe that promotion, which will run through August, helped spur some of the new enrollments we saw in the first quarter."

"The solid increase in the number of new distributors is a good sign for Reliv's future," he said. "Typically, a strong increase in sponsorship leads to sales growth, and we hope to see growth in sales this year. In addition, we plan to increase initiatives designed to help convert our new distributors into Master Affiliates, which are our business builders," Montgomery added.

"During the second quarter, our senior executives, including myself, are planning to visit as many as a dozen cities as a means of maintaining the sponsoring momentum," Montgomery said. Those meetings are expected to highlight the value of the Reliv business opportunity.
