I was at the Ideal Home Show wandering the aisles, my wife was sniffing and sneezing beside me as she fought her annual Summer bout of hayfever, and then we turned a corner to find a stand we really didn't expect.

There was a lady selling Forever Living Products Aloe Vera - the type of Quack stuff I would normally walk straight past - but someone was talking about Hay Fever so we stopped for a closer look.

"Would it really help?" was the obvious question. The answer was so clear it completely caught us off guard. "Buy a bottle," she said. "Take it home and try it. If your not happy send the empty bottle back to me and I'll give you your money back." Not only did she say it, she showed us where on the receipt it was printed in black and white.

One side of me was full of suspicion but my wife's extreme Hay Fever was on the other side and so anything had to be worth a try, even if it seemed pricey.

Ten days later, drinking a few tablespoons a day, the hayfever actually did begin to go. The next year it was less than half as bad and gradually it has got better and better - so much so that my Mum (another hay fever sufferer) now also takes it.

Well for me it was as clear as daylight to get involved and within a couple of months I signed up as a distributor and began building my own Forever Living Products business.
