“I haven’t been sick a single day since I began your program.”

Georgia is a 37–year old mother of two who dreaded the coming of each winter because it brought seasonal depression and chronic sinusitis for her. After pushing through her symptoms for several years, which left her completely fatigued, she finally decided to take matters into her own hands this fall. After six illness-free months, she wrote to tell us how good she’s feeling.

“I started having problems after the birth of my second child. It was a hard birth and I lost a lot of blood. Even though I received transfusions, it still took me a while to get back to my old self. That first winter was a bear. I think I caught every flu, every stomach virus that was going around. I just couldn’t get on top of it. Plus, I had a new baby and a three-year-old.

“I didn’t even realize how depressed I was until the days started getting longer and I began to feel better. But even once the infections had cleared, I continued to have trouble with my digestion, fatigue, and moodiness — especially around my period.

“Then the next winter I got sick again — with bronchitis — and stayed sick through most of January and February. I began to feel so tired that I just didn’t want to get out of bed in the mornings. I knew I had to, but all I could think about was how soon I could crawl back in.

“I was beginning to have less control than ever over my emotions, and more often than not I would feel sick to my stomach after eating. I went to my GP, but she wasn’t very helpful. I had been on and off various antibiotics for my chronic sinusitis and bronchitis, but I just didn’t feel well. And I also knew that before long, the dark winter months would be waiting just around the corner.

“Then last fall, a friend of mine recommended your website and vitamins, so I took a look for myself. I ordered the Personal Program and began taking the nutrients daily. After just a few weeks, my hair, nails and skin looked so much better! I had more energy and less moodiness around my period. But the real test was yet to come: four long months of winter.

“Now I’m happy to say that after six months on your program, I haven’t been sick a single day and my periods have been totally regular and symptom–free! My husband couldn’t believe it. He’s taking a multivitamin now, too, and so are the kids.

“Even better, reading your Nutritional Guidelines and all your website information has led me to investigate other parts of my health. I recently went to an acupuncturist, who has really helped my digestive problems. She explained that antibiotics may affect how the body digests food. I now realize that the antibiotics were really throwing me off balance.

“I can’t tell you what a relief it has been to coast through these past few months with newfound energy, happiness, and the ability to really enjoy my family. I’m looking forward to the summer and — dare I say it — to the rest of year as well! Thank you so much!”
