Death, Life and Naturally Sourced Supplements

 

 

 

It’s been a long year for me since June, 2014. In March, 2014, I hosted my first ever Fitness Rally! It was amazing! Then in May, 2014 I graduated from College with a Bachelor of Science in Alternative Medicine. Way Cool! I was ready to set the world on fire with my knowledge and skill.

In June, 2014, my mother was admitted to the hospital for a sub-clavian bypass which was supposed to be ‘routine’ and easy according to the surgeon. During recovery, my mom had a stroke. They felt she would recover 100% with therapy and was scheduled to be in rehab for 3 weeks. Easy Peasy. I was glad beyond description.

During her stay in rehab, my mom continued to suffer strokes and was sent home with hospice care. I flew to her home to care for her. The doctor said that she may still recover, it happened all the time. So in an effort to make this recovery possible, I employed my best Alternative Medicine skills. I made organic chicken soup, served crushed medication in yogurt instead of pudding to reduce sugar intake and increase pro-biotics, made sure she got plenty of fluids and just stayed with her. If my willing her to live would have been all that was required, I would have been successful. The trauma to her body was not recoverable and we moved her to respite care in a hospice and I was with her as she passed.

No one can describe the shock and surprise of the sudden passing of a loved one and what emotions and physical things happen to you. I guarantee you, it TAKES A TOLL!! One day you look around and say things like, ‘I have to get out of this funk’ and ‘wow, I guess my house got a tad dirty’. And more things, but….do you really want to hear them????

When these questions started hitting me in late December, 2014 and early January, 2015, I started to search for solutions to my emotional situation and the physical situation they created in regard to the 30 pounds I now needed to shed.  I connected with someone on Facebook who has now become a close friend and mentor, and introduced me to LIFE SAVING naturally sourced supplements. These supplements, which I purchased for weight loss, proved to be so much more! Within 3 days, the arthritis pain in my fingers, wrists, shoulders and hips disappeared! I phoned my friend and said, ‘Hey, this is happening to me. Is this part of the deal?’ Without hesitation, she said, ‘Yes, that’s the 23 super fruit juice blend. It’s healing your body from the cellular level out.’

I was elated and said, ‘Can I drink the whole bottle? Cause I know I need this.’ She replied, ‘Yes, and no harm will come to you. You’ll just get well faster. I buy and use a case a month.”  Now I buy and use a case a month and live pain-free. On top of the happy pain-free news, I no longer live with copious amounts of allergy medications in my handbag and have no use for nasal sprays to clear my sinuses. They are cleared as this super fruit juice boosts my immune system. I was blown away by all this.

During the first 8 days, I lost 5 pounds and in 90 days there was noticeable weight loss and decrease in my measurements. These products are not caffeine based and yet boost the metabolism while healing the body, elevating mood, stabilizing blood sugar, balancing hormones, raising immune function, decreasing inflammation, in general, ‘giving people their lives back’.

After taking them for a few months, I had wonderful energy, felt my sadness had subsided and was ready to take on the world. Cleaned my house from top to bottom and started inviting friends over to visit. The change in me was visible to many of my friends. I have shared with them and am proud to say I am helping them improve their health and get their lives back.

I wish I had this information years ago so I could have shared it with my parents. As I was coming along well with the grief of my mom’s passing, my dad became ill and passed suddenly. This all happened within an 8 month span of time. I’m thankful that I was already using these wonderful products. They made my sadness bearable and my weight gain non-existent. I have maintained my weight and continued to re-shape my body through this emotional time. I feel like I have been truly blessed by the products and the company. What a wonderful recovery tool for people everywhere!

There is so much more to this than just this small story. I”m happy to share with you and change your life.

Be Blessed and enjoy every day…oh, and be pain-free and happy…..

Frozen Shoulder

untitledIn June 2013 I was diagnosed with Frozen Shoulder. After months of not being able to move my arm all the way across my body or over my head and losing range of motion daily, I was thrilled at the thought of an ‘end in sight’. After all, when you go to the doctor and they determine the cause of your discomfort, there is usually a medication that can turn it around. Right?
So that same day, knowing it isn’t always effective, I received a cortisone shot straight into the joint cavity along with lidocaine to help you endure the trauma. I was also advised that I would probably need several months of physical therapy to help regain movement and range of motion.

The first week passed and there was no relief from the shot and the physical therapy was just beginning. For 6 months once a week I faithfully went and allowed my bursa capsule to be stretched and manipulated to break up some type of adhesion that was locking up my shoulder. The last time I went to physical therapy, the tech over extended my shoulder and I was in GREAT pain for two weeks and never returned.

What to do? Where do you go? Who knows anything about this? Will it ever resolve? As an Alternative Medicine student, I searched books, libraries, internet sites and picked the minds of my closest student friends. No answers, followed by frustration and concern because my life and responsibilities required the use of my arm.

The stress mounted and I purchased a massage therapy membership and went through several therapists who had no idea how to work my shoulder. It’s painful to get massage or even turn over with limited range of motion so every time was truly a journey.

Then it happened. I got an appointment with a therapist who had knowledge. She used a deep massage stripping the muscles underneath my armpit and along my minor pectorals. During the massage it was difficult to breath sometimes because the pain was intense but she helped me through. The next day, I could move my arm. Over the next 6 months, I went to see her several times a month and was definitely seeing improvement.

Today I am almost completely free of all symptoms and am continuing massage therapy to break free.

Somethings that helped nutritionally were my green drinks (kale, cucumber, cilantro, ginger, turmeric, celery, hibiscus, chia seeds, gogi berries, macaw and cacao), getting 8 hours of  sleep daily and reducing/eliminating alcohol and caffeine consumption and changing to a more vegetarian lifestyle to prevent/reduce inflammation inside my body.

I hope this information helps you or someone you know to recover from Frozen Shoulder. If you have any questions, please leave a comment or send an email. Namaste.
