“I know I’m finally on the right path.”

Some years ago, Karen was diagnosed with adult–onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (adult Still’s disease). By the age of 46, she had a history of poor health, including other autoimmune illnesses such as lupus. She reported feeling pelvic pain, chronic fatigue and depression for a long time and has been taking Celexa for three years.

Despite being happily married and the mother of one, Karen’s enjoyment of life was cut short by her illness. What’s worse, she recently developed almost all the symptoms of menopause, including severe depression, hot flashes and mood swings. She has also been living with intense pelvic pain that could not be diagnosed.

On one visit to the doctor’s office, Karen picked up a magazine that led her to a woman’s health seminar. She felt empowered after attending the seminar and decided to do some research on her health issues herself. Like so many women, she turned to the internet. That’s where she found us. “Like some sort of grand plan!” she told us.

“I knew I wanted to try some alternative remedies, so I began to explore some of the options I discovered on the web, but I never felt as well until I started your Personal Program.” After a short time, Karen reported that “My hot flashes are mostly gone, the depression and mood swings are so much better! The uterine pain I have been living with is GONE! I know I am finally on the right path.”

Karen is thrilled with her progress and a big supporter of our Essential Nutrients.

“I’m so excited, I’ve been carrying packs of Essential Nutrients in my purse to give to my friends!” On a recent trip to Las Vegas, she was able to forget about her health and just enjoy herself. “I felt great,” she gleefully told us. “I didn’t have to constantly think about how bad I felt. I feel normal again!”
