To MD's and MBBS's

Assalamualaikum,

A few weeks ago, i came across an open discussion about doctors promoting testimonial-based products and i quote

' ...other meds/ therapies that are only 'researched' by testimonials'

So here I'd like to introduce the people behind Herbalife products. Yes, Louis Ignarro won 1998 Nobel Laureate in Medicine based on his research on Nitric Oxide.

Excerpt from HERBALIFESCIENCE.COM. You can also read on rebuttal to journal articles in the last column..

I know we've learnt about nutrition and  health in our medical school and everyone's aware of the importance of healthy eating to prevent many disease . That's a fact, not a made-up. So i hope we learn from our patients that suffer from diet-related disease (and did you notice the age of presentation is getting younger?) and DECIDE what's best for our health and wellness.

I have nothing to say about other products but as for HERBALIFE,  i have my personal testimonials of 6 years consuming it for health and wellness. I am here to share what's good with my family and friends. Also i met and talked to people who has benefited from HERBALIFE. So, my friendly advise is for you to attend at least one event of HERBALIFE at your local place and listen for yourself their story, instead of making assumption.

Last but not least, please click on herbalifenutritioninstitute.com for research-based articles and journals. Hope this will help you to DECIDE for your health and wellness.
