"Natural Relief for Asthma using OPC-3."

Testimonial
Hi Friends and family,
This is kind of lengthy, but I
really felt the need to sit down and write it.
I am sending this e-mail, because I want to share with everyone the
changes in my life health wise. As most of you know I have been taking Isotonic
vitamins and minerals for over a year now.
I have always had
allergies to animals and dust, smoke, pollen, and I have been told my whole life
by the medical establishment that there's no way to fix it or "cure
it". My mom and I just accepted that, after all I was seeing
"specialists" in the field.
I developed severe asthma by the age of 19; earlier I was diagnosed at the
age of 17 with Nasal Polyps the size of golf balls in my sinuses, big enough to
cause a stroke. The polyps or tumors were literally cutting off the flow of
blood to my head causing the migraines (which was determined by a cat scan).
I was in and out of hospitals with migraines and had to have Demerol
shots or other drugs for the pain. After
many doctors, drugs, and steroids, the polyps were shrunk and finally
disappeared, but by then the damage was done. My grades in school went from 3.6+
to 2.9 and I lost all of my scholarship opportunities due to this "medical
problem". These problems ruined my life at the time.
So the rest is history, I moved on, got a life, and lived on inhalers and
the latest drugs for my Asthma. I had efficiently sterilized my life to a point
where I would not enter a restaurant with smoke, or a home where a dog, cat, or
bird had even been. Not without my Claritin, Singular, Albuteral, Flovent,
Serevent, and so on and so on. etc. Did any of these drugs help me get better or
get rid of the under lying problem, of course not. I continued to become worse
and worse. I would heat up or become flushed just being in a room with an animal
or smoke, and it was like a crushing feeling. I began to have allergies to
things I had never had problems with before such as foods, white wine, sulfa
drugs and antibiotics.
The reason I write this, is that I was handed a bottle of OPC-3
by a friend of mine last year. I scoffed at her and said why not, I have tried
everything else, such as: acupuncture, naturopathy, nutrition, vitamins, grape
seed pine bark, other herbs and extracts, you name it. Do these things
work?....yes they can if you can get enough and can afford it! I was a single
mother, so I could not sustain any of this. Anyway I was too polite to tell her
to go away.
So I tried a bottle of OPC-3,
then I got a 2nd bottle because well, it seemed as if I had not used my inhalers
lately. We had a large Family reunion in April and that is when I noticed I had
not picked up an inhaler in a few weeks. (I used them every morning at least). I
had been so busy with the reunion preparations I had not noticed I was breathing
better yet. My throat was still scratchy but I was not reaching for an inhaler.
I was still taking the Singular and allergy drugs though, I was terrified if I
left home on accident without my inhalers or drugs.
Now I am pregnant with my 4th child, & it is important to explain how
different this pregnancy is. With my
other pregnancies, I used all my drugs to breath day and night, and I was put on
Nebulizer machines with Albuteral for all 3 other births. I coughed up blood and
phlegm every morning (from the steroids in the inhalers)
I could not lay down in bed after the 5th month for fear of suffocating.
My legs were swollen, my face was red. I went through Kleenex like I owned
stock. I couldn’t exercise; -- I could hardly breathe when I was NOT pregnant.
Anyone who has lung problems can identify with me. It is a catch 20 with
exercise, yes you need it to get better, but when you can't breathe to get
started you’re stuck. So I gained a lot of extra weight with the previous
pregnancies. I was miserable.
So this pregnancy:
Besides
having not used and inhaler since April of 2003, I threw them away finally in
October 2003 in a nice ceremony. I have not had to buy Claritin, Sudafed, and so
on, and have not seen my doctor for any allergy related reasons since April of
2003! The over-the-counter drugs were costing me over$100/ month.
I hiked part of the
Wonderland trail on
Mount Rainier
about 5 weeks ago. (The Wonderland goes completely around the mountain 93
miles). We did about 10 miles around the camp ground, straight up and down, and
I out hiked the kids! impossible 2
years ago. I have not coughed up anything in the morning. And NO Nebulizer
machine. this pregnancy has been unbelievable. No swelling in the ankles, or
problems with anything. It has been a 100% change in my health and well being.
I can now pet a dog without my skin welting up or even caring, I ride the
horses without the usual 3 Sudafed, and a pocket of tissue and inhaler. I can
walk through smoke of any kind without dying (still don't like it though, yuck).
I can smell a flower and even have them in the house, my kids can touch me after
touching a dog or cat.
I wanted to pass this on because anyone who knew me before and today can
confirm this testimonial. Instead of waiting for the next drug to come out (and
I used to get excited about a better drug), now I get excited about when or
where we might ride the horses or going to a fair, or what trail we plan on
hiking next. None of this was possible for me just 18 months ago.
Thank you Isotonix
products, OPC-3
and GOD for my new found health, and spiritual being.
I feel as if life can be
worth living now. I am not saying I am "cured" but something happened
along the way to give me back my breath and my future. This is good science and
I have been on the products long enough to know that it is not a passing thing.
If any of you are still looking for healthy alternatives, what have you
got to lose?
Thank you for you time

On a side note, I had Bursitis in my
right shoulder that I would actually get Cortisone shots for since I was 19
also, --- that is gone too, and I can bowl, swing a bat, and brush my hair
again. Things I could no longer do without the shots. My adult acne problem went
away too! Talk about a blessing.
