She has been diagnos€dwith hypothyroidism, Crohn's disease,ulcerative colitis, diveiiculosis, lupoid hepatitis, primary biliary ci[hosis, and chtonic active hepatitis, which was slowly destroyingher liver. "I've almost died twice," she says. "I was always tired and had chronic joint problems. Everything was so stiff. At age 45, I was told a liver transplani was likely beforeage 60 and by my 50th birthday, my joints were so problematic I was afraid that I would also be in a wheelchair." A year ago, Shelley started faithfully taking two shakesa day of Reliv's basic nutdiion. "The longer I take Reliv, the more improvements I get," she says, "R€liv is excellent fuel for your body. My doctor said I may not need a liver transplant now becausemy liver is holding steady and not deteriorating further. I have a new senseof wellbeing and amazing joint flexibility.
