“No more restless leg syndrome...”
Lydia found the Personal Program when looking on-line for a safe, natural alternative
to Fosamax. She’d been diagnosed with advanced osteopenia, and had a long
history of restless leg syndrome as well, but at 54 preferred to avoid strong drugs.
After she’d been on the Program five months, her son remarked on her ability
to sit comfortably with him through a television program. She called to let us know
about the improvement in her bone density, too.
“I’m really just a healthy 54-year-old lady who was shocked by a diagnosis
of osteopenia. I had been on vitamins, calcium, and glucosamine before starting
my Program, but my main reason for joining was because I had been diagnosed with
severe osteopenia and was worried about developing
osteoporosis. I had read about what Fosamax does and was scared to take
it.
“I’ve been on the Program now since May. For 15 to 20 years I have had
restless leg syndrome (RLS) and
joint aches, so I couldn’t sit through a movie or fly on a plane.
After I started the Personal Program and made some dietary adjustments, my son and
I were watching TV when he noted, ‘Mom, you’re sitting still!’
“I can actually sit through a TV show now without stretching and bending and
walking around. By following the Personal Program I no longer have leg aches. I
found out that it is preservatives that do it to me, and during menopause I became
more sensitive.
“I have been to the doctor and after five months on the diet and Essential
Nutrients, my bone density is increasing. But the biggest change I have noticed
is no more restless leg syndrome when I avoid preservatives. And I have no more
symptoms.
“I am following the Personal Program
Nutritional and Lifestyle Guidelines, though I am not highly disciplined
about it. I am having a hard time with the sugar thing, but I have given up soda,
caffeine, and candy. The only other thing I am still taking is glucosamine. But
I like the Personal Program because the pills are packaged for individual use. I
also like that someone has researched the amount of calcium I should take.
“I have recommended the Personal Program to others, to let them know how diet
affects things. I am hoping things will keep getting better and better for me, too,
and I absolutely plan to continue. I just need a little more self-discipline —
if you could bottle that I would be all set!”
