Does omnilife ("natural products") have any negative effects, if so what are they?
954802
ok typically omnilife or any other natural products are not supposed to have much side effects since they are "natural". Yet they do ahve side effects because any chemical has a good effect and a bad effect. So called natural products are not FDA approved and there is no guarantees about how these were processed from the weed form to the pill/capsule form. I would thus not recommend to use these things, a good example are things like gingko baloba that can cause bleeding probelms that are not publicised, good luck

All these diet pills work but have dangerous side effects. Even the one that don't contain effidrane they still contain really strong ingredents that cause weight loss.  I know listening to someone tell you how bad something is for you doesn't make you not want to try it.  Especally if you heard the results that people get from them.  The truth is people do take these products everyday and have no side effects.  But at any time they can!  I use to take Xantrax I thought it was a miracle drug.  I would take it for 4-8 weeks and usually loss around 25lbs and still be able to eat what ever I wanted and not have to work out.  I took it off and on for about 2yrs until I had a reaction.  When I say reaction I mean I felt like I was dying.  I broke out in cold sweats,  started vomiting, couldn't stand up, racing heart, and elivated blood pressure.  I never understand how serious this medication could be.  If you look at the package it says it hasn't been evaluated by the FDA.  This means that they do not do proper testing on the products and there side effects before putting them on the market.  I quite taking the product and luckily so far I don't have any permint damage.  I could take years for such side effects to show up.  The major side effect is heart damage.  I knew someone that had a stroke taking this same product.  He finally can walk again but he is semi-parilized on the right side of his body.  I fill so bad everytime I see him because this could have been me.  I am so thankful I had the since to stop.

diet pills, even if they say they are all natural, are not "natural" for your body.  effects of diet pills ranges from diarrhea, dehydration, headaches, feeling of dryness in the mouth and eyes, and in worst cases, poisoning.  there are diet pills that are supposed to aid in metabolism, and are supposed to suppress your hunger, but different people have different body chemistry, therefore the pills have different effects on people.\n\nif you do want to aid your weightloss, consult a doctor.  not only can they help you in choosing a diet pill with low side effects, they can even test you on some ingredients of diet pills so as to know whether or not your body will accept or reject them.  PLEASE DO NOT TAKE DIET PILLS WITHOUT MEDICAL CONSULTATION.  even OTC drugs have side effects.\n\nthe best way to lose weight is for you to incorporate a well balanced diet and good, regular exercise in your daily life.  a low fat, low carb, high fibre diet is good for almost everyone; and jogging, biking, swimming, even walking to the bus station and doing chores around the house is good exercise.  not only will this aid in your weightloss, it is very easy to maintain and incorporate in your daily activities.

people are full of themselves and its mostly just bable from the naturalists that hate synthetic stuff... one thing they say is it produces methanol but there is more methanol produced from eating a serving of green vegetables than drinking a can of pop with aspartame. also, there has never been a well conducted study to my knowledge that has shown it links it to cancer.\n\n...unless you have that phenylnuekotrina (i have no idea how to spell it) diease, the consensus of current research shows its safe

NO.  Remember, "natural" doesn't necessarily mean "good for you."  There are a number of plant extracts that have serious side effects.  There are a lot of poisons in nature!\n\nBesides, you won't learn how to eat properly if you use the pills, which means that even if you do lose some weight, you will probably gain it all back, plus some.

Samantha-\n\nI rec'd a direct mail piece on Proxenol, and did some investigation...it appears that there are no side effects, other than reducing your wallet by $39.95, $20.95 or $19.95. There is a health forum discussion you can find via google, and several have tried this supplement, and it appears to be useless. - Todd

Ahh Oil of Oregano!  My grandpa is an Oil of Oregano freak.  He takes it everyday.  He hasn't had a cold for like 8 years.  Apparently it boosts your immune system quite a bit.  My cousin had an infection and he went to the ER, they asked him if he was on any antibiotics and he said no but he had been taking Oil of Oregano.  They said there was a build-up antibodies in his systems because of the Oil.  They also said if it was there he probably would have died.  Its good stuff!

Absolutely.  One side effect is an overgrowth of yeast in the body.  Anytime you have to administer anti-biotics to anyone, consider offering PRObiotics when the prescription is over.  One popular type of probiotic is acidophilus.\n\nBe very careful with any drugs, including antibiotics.  There isn't a drug out there that doesn't have side effects, especially after long term use.\n\nGood Luck!

According to Kevin Tredeau it has many health benefits, one that I like is wieght loss, it seems to have an nice effect on on the digestive system, from what I read in his book "natural cures they don't want you to know about". I've been taking one tablespoon twice daily & have noticed better digestion, my stomach has thanked me for it! No more upsets.\nHope you get some positive results.\nYou should only use organic unrefined extra virgin.

The Tongans themselves would probably refer the curious back to an ordinary sea plant which the Tongans have harvested and eaten for thousands of years, as they believe it to be a source of longevity and health. \n\nLimu moui is a valuable source of an interesting biochemical called fucoidan and is a marine vegetable native to the coastal region of the island of Tonga. Recent research has revealed that the Tongans' faith in their brown sea plant has not been misplaced as it would appear to be a natural restorative and rejuvenator packed with nutrients, rich in antioxidants and live plant enzymes. It is said that these enzymes can provide improved protein digestion, support for the immune system and optimize overall health.\n\nLimu moui contains quantities of polyphenols-natural antioxidant compounds which mop up the dangerous free radicals which can damage cells thus causing degenerative conditions such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes offering nutritive support to anyone suffering from a nutrient deficient diet. These powerful antioxidants can detoxify the body from heavy metals, free radicals and toxins, improve the structure of hair, skin and nails, support gastrointestinal function, assist in the reduction of high blood sugar and cholesterol and help to protect cells from damage at a cellular level.\n\nAs scientific research and data begins to emerge, this remarkable sea plant is creating significant interest among biochemists. Simply eaten as a vegetable it has offered people remarkable immune building and nutritive support, now it is available as an extract after 15 years of research into how to harness its unique properties and optimize the utilization of its therapeutic applications.\n\nLimu Moui- the health secret of the South pacific\n\nIn the temperate and unspoiled seawater off the coast of Tonga, dense aquatic forests of Limu moui thrive in the fertile bottom soil. Although used by the local populace for its healing and restorative properties over many years, the potential of Limu moui has only recently been recognized in the western world then only due to the curiosity of health-minded individuals. Soon questions regarding the superior longevity, vigor, disease resistance and overall body strength and stature of Tongans provoked investigations into the diet and routine consumption of this sea vegetable were initiated, with researchers attributing the superior health of the Tongans to this unique plant.\n\nLimu Moui contains a balance of synergistic nutrients in natural proportions:\n\n\n\nGlyconutrients (galactose, mannose, xylose)\n\nAmino acids (including glycoproteins)\n\nA wide range of essential and non-essential fatty acids\nA broad spectrum of essential minerals and vitamins\nA variety of polyphenols (powerful antioxidant plant compounds that protect the body from dangerous free radicals)\n\n\nLimu moui's polyphenol content alone is sufficient reason to consider this sea plant a valuable dietary supplement. These polyphenols are known to act as superb cell protection that can help prevent - malignant growths, tissue damage, degenerative diseases, toxic accumulation in tissues, skin deterioration. \n\nLimu moui also contains additional agents which can optimize health such as:\n\n\nFucans and fucoidan - complex polysaccharides

I strongly doubt it.  Noni, like Brazilian Acai, is a juice with beneficial anti-oxidants and pytochemicals (plant chemicals that may promote general well-being).  Having worked in the nutricetical industry for over 12 years, I've seen many plant-based compounds with healthful and beneficial effects.  If you haven't already made some healthy adjustments to your diet (i.e. consumption of more fruits, vegetables, and fiber while decreasing animal fats and processed foods), it would be a good first step.  The first sign of a bogus product are too-good-to-be-true claims.  The body is an extremely complex organism that needs a variety of nutrients and regimens (exercise, meditation, spiritual / mental stimulation) to remain healthy and in balance.  While it may not hurt to consume the good doctor's noni juice, you are probably doing his wallet more good than your health.

yes, there are no known side effects from what I read.

It would drastically upset a lot of natural balances, including those in your own body. You have a symbiotic relationship with your own internal flora and fauna, and your body probably needs to have them there. \n\nAlso, I would wonder what other side effects it would have? All medications have side effects.

I did a bit of research on the net to see what I could find out.\n\nI focused on the sites that were not trying to sell the product so nothing to gain by any information provided.\n\nHere are a couple sites that I found:\n\n(1) http://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/nmdrugprofiles/herbaldrugs/101270.shtml\n\n(2) http://au.health.yahoo.com/041101/25/1umx.html?r=967507925\n\n\n\nIt seems it is not recommended to use in this day and age and if used should be done under medical supervision only. \n\nIt has been noted that overdose reaction in sheep is “spasms, paralysis, and death through asphyxiation” (1)\n“Possible side effects include headache, weakness, jitteriness, yellow-green saliva.”(2)\n\n\nIt is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women and for children and infants (2)\n\n\nI  scanned through a number of  other sites but unable to find anything specific to men or to any specific affect adverse or other wise specifically to men.
