Are There Any Side Effects Of Drinking Herbal Life Shakes?

I am 56 years old female and I had a regular visit with my doctor this morning my blood pressure was 150/90 I take medication(s) for BP. I mention to him that I had just started Herbalife about a week ago just drinking the aloe vera, tea, shake. and I had lose 6 pounds. He advise me not to drink it because he mentioned that some of his patients were on herbalife and had damaged their liver, But, that it was up to me and if I continue, I would have to get a liver check once a month. Is that possible.
