Buckie's Story

This was the year of my 56th birthday and as I did an inventory, I found that on all levels my life was out of balance. Days pass with little clarity and I feel discon-nected from many aspects of my being. I was so disappointed with myself for having allowed my body to reach such a low state of health. I was increasingly frustrated that I was unable to live the life I imagined for myself at this age, fulfilling my passions and dreams. At the root of every movement there was physical discomfort and zero energy to pursue anything. I felt stuck, disgusted, and ashamed and actually believed I was beyond the point of no return and so why even try?

I declined fabulous invitations of hiking, biking and river trips if it was in the least bit challenging due to my physical limitations. I was saying no to my own life. I had difficulty walking any distance at all, and getting up and sitting down were sadly becoming somewhat challenging maneuvers. Forget going to the beach in a swimsuit, I pretended I was always too busy with work.

I was 30-40 pounds overweight, having to continuously go out and buy newer larger clothes, which I definitely could not afford. I was always constipated, and suffered with a lot of discomfort in my abdomen. I was lucky to have a bowel movement once a week! My hip was now experiencing sharp arthritic like pain, even when simply walking, and on a scale of 1 to 10 the pain was easily at an 8. I was taking Advil daily. In order to sleep I had to take sleeping pills most nights to get the rest I needed, and then would wake up in a fog as a result. I was appalled at how dependent I had become on sleep aids, as this was the path my mother had taken which had led her to early dementia. That was frightening!

I had taken two bad falls as well, spraining my left ankle and then breaking a bone in my left hand. The result being the entire left side of my body was out of whack. I especially had trouble with my left shoulder and raising my arms over my head, which led to even more painkillers and more sleeping aids. Things were definitely going in the wrong direction and I was scared.

My work as a realtor in a hot and humid climate was NO FUN. Showing property was exhausting and I was beginning to wonder how long I was going to be able to continue in this line of work. I began thinking I might be reduced to a desk job, which I knew would lead to an even more sedentary life, causing more problems with my health. My marriage had unraveled, my daughter was engaged, and I had a wedding to prepare for and how was I going to pull all this off? The stress was over the top and my life was in a shambles and deep down I was terrified.

Then my body sent out a loud cry for help. After several days of excruciating abdominal pain and blood in my stools I broke down and went in for a Colonoscopy. Dreading the worst I was relieved to learn it was "only" diverticulitis and that it could be controlled by diet.

This news was actually a blessing, because now I had purpose and direction, and a strong desire to make the necessary changes to live in a body that was connected to its Self. I realized that my mind and my body had been living separate lives, with no respect and regard for each other.

This was the beginning of a love affair that is more meaningful and fulfilling than any other I have experienced in my life! This courtship is with me. I have now become deeply interested in and pay close attention to what my body needs are and when my body speaks I try to listen closely. I can't believe I never really understood this simple concept.

At some point during this period of rediscovery, I somehow remembered a chance encounter with Holly Wheeler. Something Holly said to me must have made a deep impression, because when I realized I was going to need help in my new challenge to improve my health her name just popped into my mind. I called her and she shared with me what had happened to her and how she had been able to get her life back. She explained to me the miracle of minerals and how they had trans-formed her body. She helped me with some simple dietary changes and taught me wonderful ways in which to prepare more healthy meals. The minerals that she was referring to are a combination of sea vegetables and aloe Vera in a liquid form, called Body Balance. Within a very short period of time I was feeling the wonderful benefits of taking Body Balance and Holly's green shake every day.

Body Balance, which I have learned is predominantly minerals and has been true to its name. It has remineralized my body back into balance, which I had no idea what that would actually mean to me. But it's off the charts what's happened.

I am now experiencing more energy than I ever thought I would feel at this age. I have noticed that I am now able to stay focused for very long periods of time, whether it is work related or physical activity, with increased strength and endurance. Mentally, the discomfort of my body used to constantly distract me from my work. Previously I could only exercise for 30 minutes before being overtaken by exhaustion, tired and sore for the entire rest of the day. Pitiful! Now I make exercise a top priority as I look forward to my hour long strenuous morning walk up really steep hills, as well as a 3x/week Zumba Dance Class, as well as a 75 minute yoga session daily. I feel incredibly energized throughout the entire day.

My yoga practice has greatly improved. I continually grow stronger with increasing flexibility and am more in tune with my body than I ever remember!! I love that I am now feeling such inner peace and strength that I can actually be quiet and listen. I look at my body with love and affection, knowing that I am nurturing it in all the best possible ways. It is responding with abounding joy and vitality, and all of the jiggly bumps and lumps are melting away. It feels like a miracle that I feel so good in such a short period of time.

The added benefit from this energy boost is my metabolism seems to have sped up. I have lost 30 pounds and the weight is staying off. I have found the switch to healthier eating habits a breeze. Drinking Holly's shake every morning is so delicious and it keeps me going until early afternoon. I find that now my body is naturally gravitating towards more healthy food choices and it's not a struggle! It feels like my entire system is running at an optimum level and all of my old ailments have dropped away. I have not had a single other occurrence of diverticulitis, and am having no difficulty with elimination whatsoever. Instead of once a week I am now eliminating twice a day. Now that's a miracle!!

The only time my hip and shoulder ever bother me is when I am sleeping on a hard mattress and I have not had a cold or flu in two years. I even traveled in India for over four months last fall without one single incident of sickness. That alone is remarkable!

I do my work and these wonderful minerals do theirs, I now understand how when one's health is poor all of life's wonder and brilliance becomes dull and dim, because it is so hard to rise above the pain and suffering on the physical level.

I am so grateful to Holly. Her life is expressed through the boundless generosity that she so freely and lovingly shares with absolutely every one that crosses her path. When I look at her radiant health and compassionate nature I am now beginning to see the reflection of my own self in the light of who I have become.

I thank you amiga!

Rodney's Story

Hi, my names Rodney. I have always been in pretty good health, eating very well most the time, however if you put cookies in front of me, they would be gone before you got your hand back. My weight has been just OK with some tummy flab, maybe 10 or 20 pounds over weight. I work hard outdoors building Geodesic dome green house's all over the country.

One day, a number of years ago, I was building a Dome, preparing the ground, getting the foundation ready, lots of digging, moving dirt and getting the ground level. I didn't think much of it until later that evening, when I checked into my motel and got ready for bed. When I got into bed I noticed I couldn't breath through my nose anymore. At first I thought, ok, I am just stuffed up, or was it the chemicals they use to clean the room? All night I was half awake trying to keep my mouth open to breath. My mouth continually was drying out and I was continually drinking water while trying to sleep! It was awful. The next morning going back to the job site, I was able to breathe between my nose and mouth but it wasn't normal. That's how it's been these last few years, rough nights and breathing through my mouth and nose when I was upright during the day.

When I'd catch a cold on top of the sinus problem, that was worst, talk about miserable. So over the last few years I attempted to quit wheat, stop drinking beer(which I would love to have one after working )and stopped drinking coffee. All, to no avail. It was like random allergic reactions. I could never tell what was going on or what was going to set off an allergy attack. I even tried antibiotics.

When I was working building domes around the country in different climates and soils, I was constantly being subjected to different flora and fauna and who knows what else. I thought for a while, that that was what was causing my attacks and sinus problems.

In May of 2011, I built a dome for a Wonderful Lady, Holly Wheeler, in Paonia, CO. It happened that she had also struggled with severe allergies years before. She told me about a liquid seaweed product that had turned her life around called Body Balance.

As I was staying at her house as her guest building her dome, I ended up trying the Body Balance and eating the food that she was preparing, and as a result, I have been having a lot better days. This was a whole new diet for me, where the first thing we did was to cut out all and I really mean ALL sugars, grains and fruits.

With the Body Balance and Holly's new food regime with no sugars, fruits and starches of ANY kind (and I mean not even 3 cherries, which caused an all night reaction), I began to clear up!!!.

My worst days on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being bad, I would have rated at a flat 10. I couldn't breath at all through my nose and could hardly think because it felt like my brain fog was so dense, often times I just didn't want to relate to anybody. And getting a good night's sleep was practically futile. I have not slept thru the night for years. I was usually up in the night and sometimes for hours trying to breath and trying to sleep at the same time. Needless to say, I was tired all the time and took naps every day just to get thru the day. It has been for years a push to get thru my days and that if I sat down or lay down I would fall asleep.

It's only been 3 weeks and I have started to sleep really well and through the night, with the exception of the 'cherry' night. I feel like I am starting to get caught up on my rest and am not pushing to get thru my days anymore.

The brain fog has hugely lifted and I am starting to want to relate to my world again. I don't feel like I am walking around in a cloud, avoiding people! I am even breathing well even though now and then I blow it. The truth is I can now breath again and am sleeping through the night. Now that's a miracle!! And when I blow it, I almost instantly get clogged up and I now can see what has caused it. I am not guessing anymore and that's a relief in itself!

The winds are blowing here and normally I'd be miserable and exhausted and having to nap during the day from all the pollen and dust blowing around. Speaking of naps I used to take a nap almost everyday, I have only had 1 in 2 weeks and I really slept, what I mean by that is, I would nap before but never really rest and would still be asleep by 9:30 pm. The last nap I took, I rested so well, it took me a long while to get to sleep that night. I am rediscovering what normal, good health is.

So today I would say I am holding steady all the way down at at a 2. My allergies appear gone, which boggles my mind, I have my brain back, and I am feeling rested. I am getting very close to having way more good days than bad ones and I thank my Angel when I lay my head down to sleep that I can breathe...

-Rodney from CO, who is very Thankful to have met Holly

 

Diana Cachey Story

I was stuck and so frustrated with my weight! I could not break the cycle of losing 5-10 pounds only to gain it back, despite the fact that I regularly exercised 1 to 2 hours/day and dieted on + off for over 20 years, . Then I started taking Body Balance, BAM, over 20 lbs GONE in less than 3 months! And I didnkt do ANYTHING differently except take Body Balance!

Since I started on Body Balance, I have experienced amazing results, far more than just losing over 20 lbs. Before I knew about this product, I used to get skin abscesses every 2-3 months the size of a quarter. They were so excruciatingly painful that even the strongest pain meds did not touch it. Every time I got one, I was put on antibiotics for 2 to 4 weeks straight--so I was on antibiotics a third of the year! I had nightly acid reflux that often woke me up gasping for air because I was choking on reflux. It was terrifying and I worried that I might NOT wake up one time and would die from choking in my sleep!

Every morning I started days with severe headaches from grinding my teeth in my sleep that felt like a vice was cranking shut on my head. It lasted all day unless I broke down and took 2-6 advils, which I was very reluctant to take because of the side effects such as stomach aches and potential lesions in my stomach lining.

I suffered from joint pain in my knees, hips, neck and left shoulder that was affecting the things I love to do--biking, skiing, running, hiking, scuba diving, dancing, yoga --such that my joints hurt several days after I did any of these activities. It was starting to limit my desire to do any of the physical activities that I once was so passionate about and were once so central to my life. It got to the point where everytime I did anything I paid for it somewhere in my body.

I was also clinically diagnosed with depression and was prescribed Paxil for 2 years then welbutrin for another 3 years. As much as they were helping with my emotional equilibrium in the beginning, later they often contributed to my roller coaster of emotion as well as the severe headaches. My sleep habits were so irregular that sometimes I could not fall asleep for hours, then woke 2-3 times every night and woke up groggy after 10 hours of sleep or more.

Incredibly, all this changed when I started taking Life Force products. One month after taking Body Balance, the weight started falling off and has not returned in over a year. I have virtually no cravings for sugar, alcohol, coffee and junk food; now I eat 50% less and feel fully satisfied. I haven’t had a single skin abscess nor do I need antibiotics or painkillers. In fact, I take NO prescription OR over-the-counter medications, none! I rarely get aggravated at even the most stressful situations and usually respond calmly. I use to sleep 10+ hours a night and now I feel fully rested with 6 hrs less a night. At the same time, my mental clarity and energy, on a scale of 1 to 10, has gone from a 3, to a 9 and even sometimes a flat 10! I can’t believe all this energy was waiting for me.

I now rebound immediately from strength training workouts, long-distance running --all heavy physical exertion--without any soreness or pain. Its such a joy to have my body back but what’s more amazing is I get I to do all the sports I used to do with passion, not pain. It’s a miracle to me. I am drug free and pain free. I had no idea the power of whole food nutrition

 

Heather’s Story

I want to tell you about my journey to this point in my life, the things that had the most profound effects on it, and the incredible changes that have happened and continue to happen even now.

My story actually begins in my childhood at about the age of five. I developed a type of asthma that was triggered mostly by cats, but also by certain types of grasses and by all types of exercise or any breathing pattern (like laughing too hard), that would irritate the bronchial passages. I spent my childhood years with an inhaler at hand, and with practically no outdoor activities. While everyone else was having fun outside, I was unable to do better than a brisk walk around the block without having to reach for my inhaler.

When I was eighteen I was hospitalized after a series of chronic bladder infections had finally found their way into my kidneys. The pain was so excruciating I could not stand up. So I began a years-long dependency on antibiotics. Eventually, I had gone through, and become resistant to, so many that my doctors were worried about permanent resistance to any and all antibiotics. I began to explore the world of herbal medicine and nutritional supplements. I was however addicted to coffee.

In my 20’s, I developed, Adult Acne”. I had never had acne, so this was an experience for me. I had the systemic type that creates large cysts, or boils, with deep roots. These can take weeks or months to go away. They ooze clear liquid for weeks or months, and leave deep purple scars when and if they do ever heal. This type of acne also has a habit of re-visiting during times of stress or hormonal changes, so “old scars” can suddenly become active again. More antibiotics. I got more heavily into herbals and supplements, made dietary changes, and became more active since my athsma seemed to be abating. My coffee intake was up to 2 POTS a day.

When I was 30 I had to have arthroscopic surgery done on both knees. There was no explanation for the damage to the joints. I had no injuries, no trauma. There was no family history of weak knees either. The pain I experienced prior to surgery was awful. I could not very well except on flat straight-of-ways. Stairs-up were agony, stairs down were completely out of the question. My apartment had 42 steps from bottom to top. I got the surgery and was fine again, but the idea that the underlying problem that created the bad knees in the first place had NOT been isolated always bothered me. My knees would just go bad again, right? My surgeon seemed to think so. His answer was that it was probably genetic, which is always a doctor’s answer when they do not have the answer. I was in, what I considered at the time, the hiatus of my nutritional education, and would loudly soap-box to anyone who was within ear-shot, about the merits of proper nutrition. This included organics, supplements and herbs. I still had a coffee habit of around 1 pot per day.

At 33 years old I got pregnant. Then my health took a real beating. My lowest disk in my spine degenerated and disappeared. I was diagnosed with dysphasia of the hips. I gained 65 pounds due to sugar cravings I could not control. I ate everything in sight. My nutrition regimen got dumped as I fell head-over heels for every craving that came along. After the baby was born, I lost 10 pounds in 24 hours. Then it stopped. I struggled for years to lose the rest of the weight. I had always been a size 7/8. My surgeon told me I was in for a hip replacement within 10 – 15 years. I should lose weight and start doing targeted excersize to strengthen the muscles that are holding the back and hips in place. While my pregnancy was fairly easy, my post-partum was difficult. I immediately developed nipples that were so sore they cracked and bled. 24 hours after the birth of my son, I had blood streaming out of the nipples faster than the milk. I stopped trying to breast feed and began the agony of pumping. Three weeks later I had mastitis so badly I thought I would have to have surgery to relieve the pain. I had finally stopped my coffee consumption throughout my pregnancy and lactation. I went through a bout 2 weeks of intense headache withdrawals.

Four years later I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. So I had a course that included surgery, 30 sessions of radiation, and 6 rounds of chemotherapy. In spite of medical attempts to kill me with pharmaceutical grade poison, I lived. However my health was considerably affected. My joints had come apart. I had trouble with my hands, knees, feet and hips. My thyroid had collapsed entirely. The normal range for thyroid is between 1 – 5. 1 is great, 5 is marginal. When you are pregnant, if they out you on a thyroid supplement, the number usually comes in at around 14. That’s why you feel so out-of-it. My thyroid test came back at 113. My doctor called, in person, no answering service, and wanted to know, seriously, if I was conscious. Apparently, any number over 80 is grounds for being unconscious, and yet I had been operating like this for some time looking after others. Scary, huh? I had bizarre skin lesions on my hands that would crack and bleed. These resisted ALL attempts to heal using any method or product. I had mood swings that defied imagination. My cravings had only gotten worse. I had cravings for grease, caffeine, sugar, salt, alcohol and starch. I was in agony every time I had to move or do anything. I was also full-time single caregiver for my two grandparents in their 80’s, and my young son. My grandfather during this time went into hospice care, and I was full-time for that as well. I had absolutely no help from anyone during this time in my life. It was pure hell. So even though my physical and emotional health was a wreck, I could not afford the luxury of taking care of myself, even though I had to keep myself alive to take care of everyone else. I could no longer sleep for more than about 90 minutes at a time. The pain in my hips was so intense, that it would wake me up and I would have to re-position myself. I had intense headaches, even though I was still caffeine-free. I walked like I was 1000 years old. I began to truly wonder how I would ever make it in my condition another 10 years. My son was still so young, but I could not imagine being in this kind of pain for much longer, and I actually began to dream of a day when I would be released…by whatever means. In my darkest hours I began to resent my family, even my son, as if somehow they had a hand in my suffering. I was desperate.

It was during this period that I began searching, in earnest, for the source of my illnesses, specifically, cancer. Not only was I 20 years younger than the average breast cancer patient, but there had also been that knee operation years earlier for a condition that, like the cancer, I was too young for. My search took nearly a year of intense research, but I arrived at some astonishing conclusions. In short it was all related to minerals lacking in my diet. This came from many sources. Depleted soils. Processed foods. Acid=forming foods. Carbohydrates. Anything cooked. Grain-fed meats and poultry. Factory produced eggs and dairy. Factory farmed meats, eggs, dairy and vegetables. Big agro-business. Corporate control of our food supply mixed with political and financial motivations for mis-directing our attention toward more colorful and fancier packaging with claims of nutrition while the whole time the nutritional contents of the package amount to about 4% of product cost. In many cases, the box costs more than the food product inside. In a bizarre twist, I had always been so careful about the mineral supplementation of my horse, because soils are too depleted to supply his hay with his needed minerals. Without his custom mineral blend, he suffers from allergies, indigestion, and parasites. I now found myself staring at the nearly 4-decades long result of mineral depletion in myself. So I radically changed my diet. Even though I had been eating organic most of my life, and vegetarian for much of my life, I had not found the answer to my suffering. I cut all processed and most natural carbs. I switched to raw dairy products. I threw out all vegetable oils except coconut and first-cold-press olive oils. I began to search out pastured poultry, eggs and beef, and ate most of my food raw, including the meats when possible. I eliminated all refined sugars, salts, preservatives, coloring agents and anything in an aluminum can. I got rid of all plastics in my food supply, and got enamel cookware. I threw out anything that said, “Made in China”. Including my son’s toys. My grocery bill sky-rocketed with the new products and my already challenged free-time disappeared entirely as I was chained to the kitchen having to prepare all my nutrition literally from scratch.

Things did improve. Slowly. Within six months I could sleep for a few hours at a time. It was no longer agony to walk, sit or drive. I could consider riding my horse again for short periods. I felt better. My moods were still violent and unpredictable, but less frequently. It was slow and expensive, but progressing. I began taking trace mineral drop supplements and drinking alkaline water. I also began taking calcium / magnesium supplements along with cod liver oil and flax oil. I began to very slowly drop the weight I had been dragging around for nearly 8 years.

This brings us to July, 2010. I went to visit my mom, and while I was there I looked up a friend I had not seen in over 10 years. We had dinner. On the way to the restaurant she was texting me all about this new product she was marketing and wanted to know if I wanted in. After about 30 seconds of listening to what she was saying, I realized that I had found the golden egg. Here was everything I was trying to do with a myriad of organic, grass-fed, pastured, raw foods along with trace mineral supplements, calcium and vitamin D ALL IN ONE PLACE!!!!!! LIFE FORCE PRODUCTS!!!! HOW AMAZING IS THAT!!!!!!?????? And I could cut literally hundreds of dollars out of my food budget, redirect the funds to Life Force, get accelerated results, and feel like a million bucks, AND get paid for it!!! Can you believe it?

So Body Balance entered my life and within one day I felt a change. It was like everything I had been experiencing with the dietary changes, but at an exponential rate of speed. Things were moving so fast I actually was looking forward to sleeping again except that the new energy I had wouldn’t let me! I lost 8 pounds in 10 days. Although my weight loss curve has slowed, I continue to “size down” and am now able to fit into my size 8 jeans again. They are still tight, but the trend continues toward downsizing, even though the weight loss has slowed. My vericose veins have begun to lessen. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO OFF MY THYROID MEDICATION! My headaches have disappeared. Those weird bleeding calluses on my hands are healing.

One of the greatest bottom-line effects of Life Force products is that because of the intense nutritional content, I am able to allow my family more freedom with regards to the rest of their diet. I no longer lock them in the house with orders to eat only what I prepare. We can go out now again to restaurants. We can splurge and eat something bad. We can cut our food bill down because we no longer need as much food. We direct our resources to Life Force, get healthier, and receive thank-you checks. We do after all live in the world in which we have created, and the ability to be able to interact again with the world is an important milestone for us. I can correct anything the modern world has to throw at us with a Life Force product, improve nutrition and save money at the same time.

I feel incredible. I do not prescribe to miracles because I believe that our lives are of our own making. But that being said, Body Balance is a miracle. Only it’s not. It is a simple truth that we are what we are created out of, and what we are created out of is minerals. And minerals are what are lacking from our present, modern, corporate diets. As my body and spirit heal and I feel better every day, I am delighted by the family and friends I can share my new-found health with. Instead of dread, I look forward to the next ten years of my life….and much longer….with a happy heart.

So that is my story of how where I came from and how I got here. I give thanks every day for Life Force and the impact that it has had in my life. I could not imagine my life without LIFE FORCE. I invite you to be a part of the miracle.

Heather, CA

 

Kathy's Amazing Story

My name is Kathy Baes:  I am 67 years old and I have been disabled for 61 years.  As a child, I had a fall from a top bunk bed. I hit my right temple on a doorknob on the way down to the floor.  I suffered a concussion of the brain and was totally paralyzed on the right side, and unconscious for 48 days.  The Doctors said, I would not live and if I did live I would not walk again.  I had Brain Surgery, Eye Surgery and 6 Operations on the back of my right leg, to stretch the muscles to let the heel down to the floor. I have worked twice as hard to be half as good as other people.

 

In ’97, my dear husband died and if it wasn’t for my son, I would not have had any reason to live. I had no one to share my life with and no reason to plan anything. I fell into a depression that lasted 12 years and didn’t seem to have any way to shake myself out of it. I didn’t think I would ever get over the bereavement. I worked hard to stay busy and have a good attitude about life, but with no real interests or desires, not only was it hard, it was killing me. My body was giving in to stiffness and pain. Being even more disabled, I felt unable to accomplish anything and just wanted to hide.

 

The only reason I had for living was my son and then this past January of 09, he moved away because of the economy and a job change. I felt abandoned and isolated all over again. Now all my family was gone .   It turned my whole world upside down again and I was devastated. My life felt empty and I fell into another depression about of my situation and condition. I fought it, but it was always there. I would go to bed at 9:30 and get up at 8 a.m. I was sleeping 10 1/2 hours.   In the morning, after just getting dressed, I was already exhausted and wanted to go back to bed. I struggled to get through the day. Finally, around 2 o’clock, I would succumb to a nap and end up sleeping 2 hours. Then I would mope around, eat supper, watch TV and go back to bed around 9:30 p m.  I felt like I was living a life of bare existence, just marking time. I just wanted to sleep my life away. I did not want to face reality and sleep was an escape for me and frankly, I just didn’t care anymore.

I started seeing Dr. Alex Gilmore a year and a half ago for weekly treatments at his clinic, Total Family Wellness Center. He was a God-send and helped me enormously, keeping me mobile.  It was the highlight of my week and life giving for me as I was starting to improve. However, there were things that just weren’t resolving.

It was then that Dr Gilmore referred me to Holly Wheeler. She told me about Body Balance and what it could do for me emotionally and energetically. I was still so far down, what did I have to lose, so I tried it. I started on Body Balance less than a month ago. My first feeling of relief was the warming of my body. I had been so cold for about 2 years that at night the coldness would wake me up often 2 or 3 times, even with a blanket, comforter and wearing sox. I couldn’t believe that after only 2 days on Body Balance, my body temperature had increased enough to let me sleep all night long, using only one comforter with no blanket or sox.

I am now up to 10oz. of Body Balance per day on Holly’s Cell Saturation Program.  I have less pain and less stiffness and it’s easier to get up out of a chair. I am feeling better about myself and my life ,and don't want to hide in my house anymore. The possibilities for my life are opening up and I don’t feel lonely or depressed anymore. Instead, I am feeling a deep sense of contentment and an enthusiasm for living life. On a scale of 1 to 10, my Emotional Happiness was about a 3, before taking BB, and now with all the improvements I am experiencing, it’s an 8 and going up. I feel like I am getting my life back. 

I am leaving the house more often because I can because I have more strength and Energy. My walking is getting easier. I have a feeling of strength in my body that I have never felt before. Even my balance is improving. On a scale of 1 to 10 my energy before taking Body Balance, was down to a 3 and now, 23 days later, it’s up to an 8 1/2.  I just can’t believe all this is happening so quickly.

I am now going to bed at 9:30p.m. and waking up refreshed at 6AM instead of 8AM ! I don’t need naps any more and have gained an extra 4 hours of energetic, awake time A DAY; sleeping 2 hours less at night and eliminating a 2 hour nap during the day. I did the math on that and I have just gained in active, awake hours, what would equate to an additional and astounding 90 days, (with 16 energetic, waking hours per day) a year. In essence, I just received 3 additional awake months per year and I feel great about it!

Now after 23 days on Body Balance, my world is very different. I feel stronger mentally and I know I will be walking without canes very soon. I have more clarity in my thinking. I am starting to think about sewing again and other creative projects, which are giving me a reason to live. I would say, before taking Body Balance, I was about a 3 Mental Clarity wise, and now I am around a 7!

The foods I used to turn my nose up at; such as spinach and carrots, are now the foods that I crave. I am learning a whole new way to enjoy good foods, which I learned on Holly’s web site www.hollysdream.com. I am now eating more vegetables and they are not only tasting yummy, but they are making me feel so much better. My food desires have actually changed.  I seem to be naturally gravitating towards foods that are good for me. It’s amazing how the body works. In truth, I am actually feeling better almost every day.  I am finally putting it together that what I eat affects how I feel. If I eat the foods I use to eat, I feel sluggish and stiff again and unable to walk very well. As soon as I go back on the healthy foods, my stiffness decreases and I have more energy. 

And the most amazing thing is that my Food Cravings have disappeared. I never realized the power of minerals, found in Body Balance, could affect my body so much. I used to crave ice cream, whip cream, chocolate and candy and I don’t crave any of them anymore!  I just ate them cuz I was hungry all the time. Once I started eating them, I couldn’t stop. What I now know is that I was starving for minerals and good nutrition because in the last 3 weeks my Food Intake has Dropped about 25 % and I haven’t even tried to cut down. I now feel satisfied and don’t even want those foods anymore, partly because I now know how badly I feel when I eat them.

Sometimes, I am afraid all this is going to go away but so far it hasn’t. All I can say is, I am so grateful to Holly for supporting me every step of the way and for her having found Body Balance and sharing it with me.

Thank you Holly

JC’s Story,

In the winter of 08 I went to Hawaii for 3 months to build a beautiful house in the jungle outside of Hilo for a friend. It was like working in the Garden of Eden.  Gorgeous tropical flowers and orchids surrounded the house, and the fruit was so abundant that it covered the ground.

I was living in paradise. I also knew I had a good paying, finish carpentry job in Steamboat Springs waiting for me when I came back home.

 

However, when I returned to Colorado my world began to unravel. Because of the economy and for one reason or another, I did not get the job or the money I was expecting.  Jobs had become difficult to obtain, especially ones that paid me what I was worth and my resources were running out. 

 

My inability to provide financially for my family put a huge strain on our 5-year relationship and I fell into a state of a deep emotional depression.

I felt like the whole world was coming down around me and I couldn’t seem to motivate myself to go get a job that paid only $10 an hour when I was used to earning $50 an hour for my skills.

 

I was so emotionally run down and scared that I was sleeping 12 or 13 hours a day, going to bed at 8 and not getting up until 8 or 9 am the next morning.  I was smoking 3/4 of a pack of cigarettes a day, as well as, smoking marijuana to avoid the pain in my life, which had turned into a living nightmare.  I started self-medication with movies, alcohol and marijuana, which just amplified my inability to move forward in my life.

I had lost my job and had become so negative and checked out that I was losing my partner, which only put me into a deeper depression.

 

Compounding my emotional state, my body was also reacting to my depression.  Even though there was a temperature contrast from Hawaii to Colorado, my body was not able to adjust to the cold. One time when I got cold, I could not stop shivering for 3 days.

 

It was then I met Holly Wheeler through a friend of mine, David Warren.

They both told me about the Body Balance when they heard what was going on for me. David had been on the Body Balance for a year and was going through a divorce himself.  He said how much the Body Balance had helped him deal with everything both emotionally and energy-wise, so I decided to try it. I was at a point where I knew I needed to do something; I just didn’t know what it was.

 

Holly started me on her Cell Saturation Program, and what happened in these last 2 weeks is nothing short of a miracle to me. My whole world has changed.  I am now Sleeping 6 to 8 hours a night instead of 12 or 13, which means that I am sleeping 4 to 6 hours less a night. I wake up refreshed and ready to start my day and am usually out of the house by 6AM. When Holly showed me the math on how much life I have gained in just sleep alone, I was stunned. At 4 hours less sleep a night, I have just gained in awake hours, what would equate to an additional 90 days, (with 14 energetic hours per day) A YEAR. In essence, I just received 3 additional awake months (of 14 hour days) per year.

 

As far as Cravings are concerned, cigarettes now taste yucky and if it wasn’t for still being somewhat addicted to the nicotine, I would have stopped completely, but am down to smoking 5 or 6 a day.  That alone is a big financial saving. Cigarettes cost $6.50 a pack and I was going through 20 plus packs a month. I figured out that was costing me $130 plus a month.  By cutting down I have just saved  almost $100 a month.

 

But the really big piece is that I have also cut out marijuana completely.

I went cold turkey, and not only have I not missed it, but I feel great.

That little habit was costing me $400 or more a month. With the cigarette habit costing me now $100 a month, the two together are saving me $500 a month and probably more cuz I am also noticing that I am Eating Less. Apparently, the Body Balance has the minerals I was lacking and I am now feeling solid and nourished like I never have felt before.

 

When I hit Cell Saturation I had so much energy that I had to dance for a few hours to work the energy out of my body.  My Energy has gone from a 3 to an 8 or 9.  I am not trying to avoid my life anymore by medicating.  And rather than drag through my days I am looking forward to them and starting to plan my life again. It’s wild.

 

Even after just 2 weeks, my body has detoxed enough that I now react to foods that aren’t good for me. I recently ate breakfast at a diner, which I have done many times and after I felt sluggish and cranky. I’ll try not to do that again!

 

Also, I feel clear headed and even the way I think and talk has changed. I would say my Mental Clarity has gone from a 4 or 5, on a scale of 1 to 10, to an 8 and going up. I am more positive and stable in my communications and people are starting to notice the difference in my attitude in how I am communicating. They are actually asking me what I am doing.  I would say that Emotionally, before Body Balance I was at about a 3 and now, just two weeks later, I am at an 8. I can’t believe this is possible??

 

The truth is, I am so glad to not be living in a fog all the time sleeping and medicating my life away. I feel like I am waking up to my own life. I have so much I had forgotten I wanted to do.

 

I can’t believe that I have already lost my wife and that I got close to not caring about anything and losing everything else.  I have so much appreciation for my health now that I almost permanently lost it. It’s just amazing that it could turn around so quickly. I had no idea the healing power of the body. I am so grateful for Body Balance for having exactly what my body needed. Thank you Holly. Thank you David. Thank you Body Balance.
