My friend Ron is an elderly man who stays very active outdoors.  He’s one of the few real mountain men I’ve ever known.  He love’s taking his hikes in the high Sierra’s where he lives.

But one day he started having intense pain in his lower left leg.  After days of working through the pain, he was finally overcome and went to see the doctor.  He was sent to a large medical center in the bay area where experts were waiting to check him out.  There he was told that the veins in his lower leg were collapsing because there was no blood pressure registering.  They immediately tried to clear the veins of plaque to restore blood flow.  It didn’t work.  From there he went through an operation that actually attempted replacing a collapsed artery with a large vein.  The doctors hoped that it would restore enough blood flow to at least save the leg.  It wasn’t long before the pain was back and the operation was considered unsuccessful.  He was told that if things didn’t improve, the leg might need to be amputated below the knee.

It appeared that what Ron needed was some kind of circulation booster.  As it turns out, quite by coincidence, a few months before I’d started my diet herbalife program and had been using herbalife niteworks to support good circulation.  I felt that was a good idea because I was on a high level exercise program and I too was getting older.  But what did that have to do with Ron and his leg?
