Hi everyone, I'm watching Andrew's show live and I'm here if anyone else wants to chat.

@bebe777 Thanks for the information. I DO take quite a few of Lessman's vitamins. I believe they do improve the quality of life.

I'll DVR the show. I just received a month's supply of one of them. I usually order 1 month when first trying a new one.

Something I remember reading one day about the use of vitamins...."When asked if the person REALLY thinks these vitamins help them.....the person said, 'Well, all I know is when I DON'T take them, I don't feel as good as when I DO take them'.

I like that and have said it to several friends who doubt the use of vitamins do any good. I pick and choose the one's I take but I don't understand why anyone would just take a vitamin that's been sitting on a store shelf for (who knows how long). His are fresh and I think much better on the stomach.

I remember once he said Drs performing autopsies found (in tact) pills that had not desolved. Ugh!

I shared some info about my personal use of Ultimate Friendly Flora (UFF) on another forum, and I thought it would be of interest to folks here...

I take around 12-15 of Andrew's supplements. Most of them are solid regular purchases for me. I tend to go back and forth about the UFF, but that's just because I don't get the same crazy high level of results with it... and that's probably because I have a compromised immune system due to 3 intestinal surgeries. -- It's left me with intestinal challenges, so I tend to get discouraged when Andrew's UFF isn't the silver bullet that so many of his products have been to me.

lol, I should know better because even the very best products can only do so much.

I've been taking the UFF on and off for about 4 years now. -- I started off with his Friendly Flora but it just wasn't powerful enough for my health needs. The UFF was definately more helpful.. lol, and I really do need to be taking it regularly.

From what I remember, the largest TS Andrew had offered before this had been a 200 capsule supply.

Initially, when it came on the market, he had offered a 360 cap supply of his Friendly Flora. -- If you check through very old HSN review, you'll see complaints about it then:

* capsules turned a darker color over time

* capsules got harder over time and folks wondered if the flora wee still "alive"

Procaps always told me (and I believe them) that the product was still fine. But due to peopl's questions, after about a year and a half, Andrew made the 180 size the very largest size.

The Procaps folks have told me that Andrew puts in WAY more than 25 billion colony forming units to make absolutely sure that when you finish the product (here 270 capsuels) at one capsule a day that there will still be a 25 billion CFUs per capsule.

My sense it that he probably would like people to finish his UFF in a 9 month period in order to get the fullest potency... So I'll only be ordering one bottle.

That will probably mean that I will have to repurchase at a higher price but, since the UFF is a "live" product, in this particular case freshness really is important.

I'll be getting one of the 270 capsule size.

Thanks for the reminder!

Just bought 2 of each TSV. I do not want to run out!

Have become more focused on trying to take the AL supplements that are on sale. It helps.

Maybe it has something to do with turning 67 this month (YIKES!), but I want to do all I can to stay healthy.

Listening to AL now!

Hi @Annabellethecat66 thank you so much for you kind words and I'm glad that the info is helpful.

lol, when folks say that "vitamins just make expense waste products" (cleaning up the general quote), I just ask them what they think that expensive Rx pils make? lol, I usually get a stunned silence.

Before I finally settled on Andrew's supplements, I literally spent several years trying out 30-40 different manufacturer brands. --It took time, but I really got a vitamin brands education. So if Andrew doesn't make a particular supplement that I need, I do have 5-10 backup manufacturers that I can go to.

lol, and about some pills not dissolving in the small intestine. -- 5-7 years ago, I have to have several emergency surgeries on my intestines. For 4 months, my small intestine was seperated from my large intestine... so I got my waste products out via a colostomy bag. -- I never saw any evidence of ANdrw's supplements in the toilet, but I couldn't say the same thing about the 4-5 heavy duty Rx TABLETS that I was taking. I finally had to resort to pill splitters because one in every 4-5 Rx TABLETS would be floting in the toilet (while there was never any evidence of ANdrew's supplements). Yikes!

* bebe777 high fives @Witchy Woman *

@Witchy Woman you are most welcome and I'm glad that the info was helpful.

These are two great TS and the value are really great!! These are some of his top antioxidants!!

I also always focus on what Andrew has on sale... and then factor in how to maximize my savings with his quantity discount.

lol, I screenshot his charts, so I'm going to have to go back and listen to part of his current broadcast. The great thing about HSN is that their live stream of their shows lets people listen to the last four hours of the shows that they broadcast. -- QVC could really take a note on this (especially since QVC owns HSN now). It would be really helpful!!

Wanted to say that I haven't reached the point where I need to install additional shelving for my supplements but....

Earlier this year, I decided that money I would otherwise spend on clothes I didn't wear or new purses/shoes and other "stuff" would be devoted to AL supplements and animal organizations.

I'm not discounting any future purchases of such things, but, I just think twice before doing so.

I love how Andrew lights up when Muriel comes on. She is a lovely woman -- I love the cookbooks they have done!

While I love oatmeal, I find it's just too many carbs for my body as I cannot confine myself to a small serving.

If I can ever get THAT under control, I'll buy it

@Witchy Woman wow what a wonderful way to honor yourself and our furry friends.

Over time, as I've seen the very positive results I've gotten from AL's supplement, I've also realligned my priorities on honoring my body by keeping it in good health. \

@bebe777Wow! You've had a time of it, haven't you? About 1 year ago I started having severe pain. I layed in bed moaning and groaning for 1 1/2 days (alone).

Then I finally called my guy friend and asked him to come over. He did immediately. He talked me into called an ambulance because I couldn't sit up in a car.

I rode the ambulance to emergency room where they discovered my intestine had broken open and bacteria had been leaking out into my stomach.

But because I'd waited I was lucky in that it (the fissure) had healed so they didn't need to operate. I was in the hospital for 5 days (a long time these days) and they pumped me full of antibiotics.

I've always had a sensitive 'gut'. My daughters are the same way (i.e. not a lot of dairy, meat, etc). I baby my stomach and know what does and doesn't work (probably like you do @bebe777,

His vitamins work well for me. I REALLY believe in Lysine vitamins. Every time (OK, every other time) I go to dentist I'm there, mouth open, for at least 2 or more hours). About 1 week ago he was trying to decide about buying a new dental machine....my mouth was really twisted around...Ha! Well, as usual it tore my lip and it looked like I had a big cold sore. I came home and started taking Lysine and it's almost healed. I swear by that stuff. Same thing with the Cranberry vitamins and so on (won't bore you with others). Ha!

I guess all that matters is we (you and I) and some other's believe they help us and that's what matters....right?
