Anu	I was not obese, but wanted to look great and risked my life...Kindly read on...On researching online the components of weight management supplement, Herbalife,I found the following... 1. A component in the CELL ACTIVATOR, Eletherococcus senticosis, produces increased T- cell lymphocytes, mostly helper types but also toxic ones... 2. Another component Ligustrum licidum happens to produce increased white blood cells... 3. Some other components like Rehmannia produce estrogen in our body..( estrogen can produce cancer in susceptible people)…and that’s not all… Now, my question....I am recently diagnosed to have lymphocytic leukemia, initial stages,( Increased white blood cells because of increased accumulation of lymphocytes). Doctors opine it’s a rare case in my age(39), and this is called a cancer of the old age.. I was taking Herbalife weight management supplement( total nearly 10 boxes of it) on and off for three years before this diagnosis... Now anybody think that I have risked my life taking this product??? and that the components backfired and has triggered my condition??? Any advice to me???	4/15/2004
Ammanda-Jane	What I read is sad because some people have family runs like, obesity and diabetes. So they just get fat. Others, who can't stay away from food and don't exercise enough need to watch it because they are at VERY SERIOUS problems in life. My obese friend Kelia just couldn't stay from food now, she's paying a serious price she weighs 375 pounds.	7/5/2003
