Mike's Hepatitis C Testimonial
It was October of 2001. I was forty years old. What I didn't realize was that my life was about to change forever. It was about to take a 180-degree turn in the worst possible direction…
I had always been healthy. I started skiing when I was 5 years old. I loved being outside, whether I was hiking, backpacking, sailing, or fly-fishing, as long as I was in the fresh air, I was happy. Later in life, mountain biking became a real passion.
But recent changes in my health were now bringing me face to face with my own mortality, And by the end of October, I came to the shocking realization that I might never be able to do any of those things again…for the rest of my life.
I had become terribly sick, and the doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me. I was extremely tired and run down all the time. I was getting ear and sinus Infections constantly. I was vomiting almost every morning because of the persistent nausea. My career began to evaporate. I watched as everything I had worked so hard for began slipping through my fingers.
For weeks the doctors threw drugs at me. But I knew they were grasping at straws. They labeled me with everything from pneumonia to chronic fatigue. Then they told me I had something called "valley fever". Were they making this stuff up? All I knew was the fact that I was sicker than I had ever been in my life and these guys didn't seem to have a clue. I was feeling totally helpless and powerless for the first time in my life. It felt like my life was starting to slip away and there was nothing I could do to stop the descent.
Eventually, partly as a result of my pleading, they did some serious blood testing. Three days later, I was called into the doctor's office and told that I had chronic Hepatitis C. At least now I knew what to call it. They sent me to a Gastroenterologist who scheduled me for a liver biopsy.
Three weeks later, after going thru the biopsy, I found out that I was in the last stages of chronic liver disease. The only solution for such a thing is a liver transplant. They promptly placed me on the liver transplant list, and the awful waiting began. This transplant meant someone was going to have to die out there if I was going to have a chance to live. It was a strange and surreal thing to be looking forward to....
As the time passed, my condition continued to get worse I was exhausted all the time. My fatigue got to the point where I was bed-ridden most of the day. I had constant and severe nausea. It was like living with the worst case of the flu.... twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. Soon, I started getting wicked nosebleeds. At this point, I hit such a low that I actually felt as though I was going to die. I started to believe my life was over.
This sick state of my body and my mind continued for the next eighteen months. It was one of the most challenging times I have ever faced.
And then I lost my health insurance.... I was now unable to afford my $800.00 monthly prescription costs. But this cruel twist of fate turned out to be one of the greatest problems I've ever had! By losing my insurance, I was forced to start searching for alternatives to help me feel better. After all, I really didn't have anything to lose at this point because the drugs weren't helping me much anyway.
My research led me in the direction of whole-foods and phytonutrients. I had always been fascinated by the statement of Hippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, when he proclaimed over 2000 years ago: "Let Food Be Thy Medicine". So this became the focus of my search. Just exactly how could I turn my food into my medicine?
All of my searching eventually led me to a company by the name of Life Force International. They had made a name for themselves in whole food nutrition through their flagship product, Body Balance. And every time I would start searching for sources of whole food nutrients, their name would pop up, and someone would be saying something positive about Body Balance. Intrigued by all of this, I called the company, got connected with one of their members, and started drinking Body Balance every day. Within a few weeks I started to notice that my energy was increasing. I was sleeping more soundly. I began waking up feeling refreshed. The nausea and nosebleeds vanished. I noticed that without trying, my outlook on life was starting to improve – amazing what the lack of nausea symptoms can do for a person's outlook!
I continued drinking my Body Balance faithfully, and then on the advice of my Life Force health coach, I added OsteoProCare to my regimen to help with my joint stiffness. This product continued my improvement. With every passing day I was feeling better and better. Now, eight months after starting with these Life Force products, I go for 2 to 3 mile walks almost every day. My energy is tremendous. Incredibly, I have virtually no joint pain to speak of. And even though I still have the liver disease, I found out last week (Dec. 2003) that I have made enough progress that I am no longer on the transplant list!!
It is hard to put into words what this simple, whole food product has done for my life. For over two years I have been fighting what felt like a losing battle with liver disease. Today, I've got my life back. I am still trying to get back on my bike that has stood in a lonely corner of the garage since becoming ill.
My deepest thanks to Wayne and Gerri Hillman, founders of Life Force and to the support team that has been there for me.
In closing, if there is anyone you know out there with health challenges, please pass this story along to them. Looking back, my only regret is that it took so long for my 02insurance to run out! My hope is that this story can help put Body Balance and OsteoProCare into someone's body faster and earlier than I got it. I need your help to do that. There are lots of suffering people out there who need to know what these great products are capable of.
Sincerely,
