Fibromyalgia

Here is what I did for my Fibromyalgia pain.

2 doses OPC 3 in the morn and 2 doses at bedtimeGlucosatrim 3x a dayCalcium Isotonix, one in the morning and one at bedtimeone cap Aloe in the morn and 1 cap at night1 dose of Isotonix B complex in the mornI dose of Dreamz at night (to make sure I get good REM sleep which is so important for people withFibromyalgia)

Within a month or so I suddenly one day discovered I had no pain. I was off the pain meds as well. I wasamazed at my recovery. When I stopped the regime the pain came back. So the one important thing to me wasthe OPC 3's in ridding myself of the pain. The rest was for prevention and just plain good health.

Hope this was helpful to you and your friend.Sincerely, Leslie B

=====================================================================================

First a little bit about myself. My name is Cindy A from Appleton, Wisconsin. I am 52 years young ( I finally feelthat way now). I have Fibromyalgia, degenerative joint disease (usually referred to as osteoarthritis) and a slightemphysema.

Looking back I believe the cause and start of the firbro and D.J.D. was an auto accident that I was in back inApril of 1977. I was 7 months pregnant with our son (yes he is fine), when a drunk driver wanting to commitsuicide pulled out in front of me. It could have been worse and thankfully everyone survived. I had somelacerations, deep tissue injury and a broken jaw, which required surgery. I made it through these things oversome time. The years go by and life hands you little or big roads blocks (stress), you deal the best you can withthese things but stress is also a factor for firbromyalgia.

In approximately 1989 I was diagnosed with fibro. I had aches and some pain, but I thought the doctor didn'tknow what he was talking about because everybody who went to him seemed to be diagnosed with fibro. Idismissed it and took myself off of the amytriptilene (anti-depressent) they put everyone on for this disease.Then in 1998 I was in another auto accident (again lucky to be alive). This left me with large hematomas anddeep tissue injury along with three cracked ribs. I didn't seem to recover as well with this accident. The achesand pain persisted with very little relief in between. Shortly after this my left hip started to bother me a lot. If youaren't sure what true joint hip pain is, it is actually in the groin area. I was also bothered by tendonitis in bothelbows, bursitis in both hips, neck and back problems. I felt like a human pin cushion. I never got much relief,

just more injections and medications.

January 2002 left me pretty well drained. I was still working in a doctors office and on my feet all day. It got

harder and harder to do. In March of that year I had to quit working due to my health. In October I had my left hipreplaced (avoid this at all costs). In April of 2004 we went to Texas to visit our son. (Do not use the restroom andcarry anti-bacterial wipes with you on the airplane). I spent most of my time there in a hospital. I had contracteda gastrointestinal bacterial infection called campylobacter jejuni. When your immune system is alreadycompromised this infection hits you like gang busters and also adds to the problems of fibro. I was walking withone cane at this time and now I needed two. I had to crawl up the stairs in my home and was in pain 24/7. Icould not sit or stand up from a chair without help. I spent the majority of my days on the sofa in pain.Unfortunately all the medication I was on did not help. In fact I believe it made me worse.

Then in July of 2004 my prayers were answered. Several years ago while still working in the health field I got myinsurance license and mortgage license. My name was on a list of loan originators and I received a call from


3/27



someone who I thought wanted me to sell mortgages for him. I was in so much pain but yet I agreed to talk withhim. (In the back of my mind I knew I needed to make some money but I also knew there was no way possiblethat I could work). He came over to talk with my husband and me. He actually was a Market AmericaIndependent distributor. I only misunderstood him because of the pain and drugs I was on. I am so glad I hadsaid I would speak with him. He could see how much pain I was in and told us about OPC-3 and the greatresults his wife had with her allergies from it. I thought, oh great, more supplements. I thought I had triedeverything there was in an attempt to get better. I said I would try it but I knew for sure it wouldn't help. So I

would take it just like you are suppose to and when the bottle was empty I would give it back with some smugremark. BUT IT WORKED!!!!

Four and one-half weeks after taking just the OPC-3 I was experiencing great relief. I threw away one cane andthen the other. I couldn't believe the results. I was sleeping better, I hardly had any pain, I stopped taking almostall my prescription medication and I knew I was getting my life back. With my doctors help I managed to get offall of my medication.

OPC-3 has drastically changed my life for the better. All my blood tests are within normal range, my lastpulmonary function tests found no trace of emphysema, and the degenerative joint disease in my right knee is allbut gone.

I do take other Market America supplements that I have added over some time. I suggest for anyone with fibro,

arthritis or D.J.D., that they take OPC-3, Calcium Plus, and Glucosatrin to start.

I hope this helps.Cindy

FibromyalgiaCalcium PlusI had Fibromyalgia for 25 years and the first Market America supplement I took was the Calcium Plus. Within the first 3 days, ALL myFibromyalgia pain was gone. I have been free from the burning, stabbing pain in my neck, back and hips for 2 and 1/2 years! I thought

that was amazing and have shared that testimony many times. My conclusion was that I probably was deficient in Magnesium - (see Mginfo at bottom of page)

I want to share with you what just happened this evening. We have been out of the Calcium Plus for a week now and I have had terrible

pain in my neck, back and head (headaches- which I hardly ever have) that has gotten worse day by day. I originally thought I had donesome thing to my neck and back (even though I couldn't recollect doing anything).

Today I spent about an hour talking to a person who has Fibromyalgia and did some more research on Magnesium Deficiency on the web.As I read through much info, I began to think that maybe this pain was due to my not taking in enough Magnesium. I ran downstairs andmixed up a cocktail of the PRIME BONE MAINTENANCE Formula (which I had forgotten I had) and chugged it down. I could hardly

believe it and wouldn't have unless I had gone through it myself - My pain was ALL gone in about 10 minutes. I thought it couldn'tpossibly be taking effect so quickly, but that just goes to show you how good our products are! (I am sure the Calcium Plus would haveworked just as well, but we were still out of that!

Cindy J=========================================================================Hi Big Al,

I have a customer who has had Fibromyalgia for over 20 years. She had it so bad that she could not even walk her dogs(small dogs) on a leash because the pulling would hurt her fingers. She was in so much pain she always looked tired and

exhausted.

I put her on OPC-3 and Greens...

My daughter also had the Fibromyalgia and she is on the same items.

Within 3 weeks my girlfriend called me and told me that she was blown away because she was feeling so great. She had

been on many medication and now she is off. She also tried other holistic products but nothing worked.

She gets stopped where ever she goes because she looks so good. All her friends what to know what she is doing. She is so

happy because for the first time in 20 years she feels so good.

Ps... my daughter also had the same results.

So my ans. to you is OPC and Greens!

My mother has CFIDS and has for about 15 years. Her quality of life is so much better since she hasbeen on our Isotonix. She has more energy and less symptoms overall. Initially, we started her out on 2 caps ofOPC3 and Isochrome, which made an incredible difference. We have several customers with fibromyalgia onthe same regimen plus ORAC. Over time, we have added Vit. C, Multi and ORAC, because she loves theproducts and feels so good. Hope that helps!!Susan H

===================================================================

I was in a car accident and had major whiplash. I spent 3 years of my life suffering from a disease callFibromyalgia. It was very painful, mainly in my neck, shoulders and back along with severe headaches. I wasput on all kinds of medications such as muscle relaxes, painkillers and tranquilizers that lead to anti-depressantsand Cortisone injections. I was disabled for 2 years, basically over medicated and feeling useless lying on the

couch. I realized that the medication was just coving up the real problem.Then I learned about Market America and nutriceuticals.the all-natural approach to good health. I firstdid a 7-day Nutri-Clean detoxification that cleanses the colon, digestive system and liver. It flushed the toxinsout of my body and I immediately could fell a difference. Then I loaded up on 2 caps of OPC3 and 2 caps ofCalcium daily, within 3 weeks my pain was 90% gone and I was myself once again. I added 1 cap or ORAC andnow Im 100% better. I still am very careful not to overdo it and I make a conscience effort to eat right. I have notbeen on any medication for over 2 years. And I feel great!Carolyn B, Green Bay, WI

==================================================

I have Lupus and Fibromyalgia. I take OPC-3, TC Select, Glucosatrin, Multitech and Minerals. I was unable toget out of bed. To do anything at all, I had to roll out of the bed and crawl on my hands and knees. A friend of

ours was a Market America Distributor and asked my husband if I would try the OPC-3 and Vitamin C and I did.Then I added the other things to it. Anyway to make a long story short it took about 21/2 months and I was upand able to do things again. It was a slow process but now my Lupus is in remission and has been for the last 4years. I'm pretty much pain free with the Fibromyalgia, which at first was very debilitating. No one could eventouch me without me being in agony. I am a walking testimonial for our products and I hope this helps. I startedthe products five years ago and will be taking them forever. :)Patricia G

ISOTONIX LINE HELPS WITH PERSONAL STRUGGLE - I am writing this letter in the hope that other women

might benefit from my personal struggle in coping with the various necessities of life. I have been an

anorexic/bulimic since the age of twelve. This was due, to no small degree, on being a product of an extremely

dysfunctional family. I was both physically and mentally abused on a daily basis. I grew up alone, frightened, and

extremely angry and I considered suicide on many occasions. I ran away from home only to be apprehended by

the police and returned to my family, where the cycle repeated itself. By the time I reached high school I firmly

believed that I was ugly fat, and unworthy of love. Thus, I raged against everything and everyone, but none more

so than myself. Entering college afforded me the opportunity to escape from my family but unfortunately I could

not escape me! I graduated from college and graduate school and I began teaching in a large urban district.


5/27



After a number of years, the stress of teaching and my extremely tenuous family relationships caused me to

terminate my teaching position at 46.

During this interim, I was subsequently diagnosed with high levels of Epstein Barr, fibromyalgia, major

depression, and panic disorder with agoraphobia, severe stressors, and a borderline personality disorder. For

two years I spent the better part of a day in bed. I would not leave my home and found every excuse under the

sun to cancel any and all appointments. I slept around the clock, often going days without bathing, cleaning my

home, or changing my clothing. After trying acupuncture treatments for six months, physical therapy in a

rehabilitation center, and being institutionalized in an eating disorder clinic in Philadelphia for three weeks, I still

could not function.

By chance, my husband was in a neighborhood store where he saw an advertisement for someone who

specialized in Personal Fitness Training with nutritional supplements. I resisted calling this woman for three

weeks. Finally I was able to make the call that has changed my life so radically. Kathy Speno is my Personal

Trainer and an Independent Distributor for Market America. She has placed me on a daily regimen of: OPC-3,

Isochrome, B-12, Multivitamin, and Mineral Blast. I went from working out twice a week to four training sessions

a week, all of this in a two-month period. I am able to get up in the morning, leave my house, and train withKathy I am beginning to see an astonishing change in myself. These nutritional supplements are fabulous, and I

feel as if I have my life back. It is as if God has handed me a miracle and a guardian angel in Kathy I trust Kathy

wholly Her advice and love has spurred me to encourage my husband to work out and join a health club with

me. We feel a renewed appreciation in our lives.

===================================================

This letter is being written with sincere appreciation to Market America for making OPC-3 available. I would

like to relay my testimony on behalf of this great product. In 1991 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Before I

was diagnosed, I thought I was dying of some horrible disease but the most frustrating was the fact that no one

understood including my doctor. Because I looked normal and in good health and after all the tests were run

without showing anything wrong, my doctor decided that I must have Lymes Disease because had most of the

classic symptoms. Some of my symptoms were no energy, pain in certain points on my body, couldn't sleep

through the night because it was hard to find a position that didn't hurt, my wrists and hands hurt so much, I

couldn't even wring a dish cloth, the most painful of all was walking. My back and hips hurt so bad, getting out of

bed or a chair was extremely painful because! I would get so stiff it took a few minutes just to limber up enough

to walk. It took some time to do my hair because I couldn't hold a blow dryer or curling iron for more than a few

seconds at a time. After treating me for Lymes via intravenous antibiotics, which were given to me once a day fortwo weeks (I had severe allergic reaction to the drug, I thought I was going to die.) After that didn't achieve the

results he wanted, my doctor gave up and wanted to send me to Mayo Clinic for further testing. I am so glad that

I went to see a Chiropractor instead. When I went to see him, I was in so much pain that he could barely touch

me. At that point he asked me if I had ever heard of Fibromyalgia. Of course I said, "No". He was pretty sure that

I had fibromyalgia and gave me some literature and asked me to read it and see if I agreed with him. I could

have cried after reading the material, because it described exactly how I felt. I was so excited to know that I was

not dying and that what I had actually had a name. I continued to see my chiropractor once a week for several

months and then backed off to twice a month for the next 3 years. My pain never went away, but I could at least


6/27



tolerate it some. I became a distributor with market America in October of 1996 and at that time started taking

the OPC3 and within two days my pain was gone and I had so much energy and for the first time in years I slept

like a baby. It has been a year and a half that I have been taking OPC3 and living a normal life. I will never stop

taking OPC3. My husband, Michael, is very glad to have a happy wife again. In fact, he started taking the OPC3

shortly after for the arthritis in his wrist, he figured if it did this much for me then it could only help him also and

needless to say he is very pleased with the results. I would also like to add that ALL of my allergies are gone. Iused to suffer from severe hay fever; I helped keep the antihistamine and tissue industry in business. Also, my

husband's nighttime twitching disappeared. My chiropractor is very pleased with the results of my taking OPC3

that he has recommended it to some of his patients. I only see him on an as-needed basis every few months. My

son, Layne, now nine years old suffered from constant sinus infections; our doctor told me that it would be a fact

of life for him. All through first grade he missed a total of 23 days due to sinus infections and colds. I got him

started on OPC3 and during second and third grades did not miss any days of school due to illness. He is very

proud of this fact and does not hesitate to tell anyone that it is the OPC3. There are so many testimonies

available and I am happy to share mine in order to be able to help someone who has lost hope.

===============================================

July 7, 1998: Dear Dennis, Last July 16th, I became an "UnFranchise" owner. I wanted to buy the OPC3 and

Isotonix for my twin daughters who were suffering from Fibromyalgia. They had finished their first year of

college with mononucleosis and spent most of the summer of 95 recuperating. They had to quit playing college

field hockey because they were not able to run and practice because they hurt too much. The doctor ran tests

and their mono was gone, and sent them to a specialist on Easter vacation of 1996.The Rheumatoidologist ran

blood tests and indicated it may be Lupus. After nine to ten months of trying strong medications, the girls said

enough is enough and stopped all medicines. The specialist said it was Fibromyalgia and to take Ibuprofen since

the medication did not help them. After a year of taking OPC3, Isotonix B-12, calcium Plus, Vitamin C and Aloethey are doing great. The one has even stopped her allergy shots, which she has been taking since she was

eight years old. They went for a run just last week and she did not even take her inhaler for her asthma. She

started to take the ThermoChrome Select, which has Ma Huang, which is helpful with asthma. She was also

able to go off of her thyroid medicine. It is very hard to watch your children, who played basketball, field hockey,

and ran track in high school, suffer with pain and not being able to sleep. Just 2 years ago their future looked

rather dim. Today one is heading for veterinary school and the other one is a medical technologist, and both are

getting married this year. Thanks to Market America and the education you supply us about our wonderful

products they have their health back and their future. Thank you Marker America for your great team.

Sincerely, Donna J. S P.S.

Amy ran out of the OPC3 and was off of it for four days. Her hands ached so bad that it hurt to hold the steering

wheel of the car. She took a loading dose for one week and then went to her normal two caps in the morning

and two caps in the evening. She has no doubt that OPC3 has given her life back.

===============================================

January 5, 1998 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1994. I was in such pain that I could not do any house

cleaning or even carry in my own groceries. I was introduced to OPC3 in October of 1996. A year has gone by


7/27



and my life has changed drastically. I take 2 doses of OPC3 and 1 dose of MultiTech daily. This past Saturday I

cut my grass, raked leaves and used the blower to blow leaves off the driveway. Then I came in my house and

cleaned the rest of the day. I am not always 100% pain free, especially when I overdo it. But, I would never have

dreamt that I would get my life back when I started on these Market America products. They have been a true

blessing for myself as well as my husband. A year ago he had 3 bouts of pneumonia before Christmas. In April

he went on 2 doses a day of OPC3. He has not even had a cold since April. We are truly thankful for these life-changing products.

Hi Linda and Team, I have a customer who has fibromyalgia. She started out on OPC-3 with a loading dose for

her weight and then went to a single cap after that because she could not afford anymore. Well the pain was too

much and she had noticed a difference with the loading dose so she upd the dose to tw o capfuls and was

feeling better. I noticed she was taking a Calcium Pill and suggested she try Calcium-Plus as she was takingmany pills a day. She takes 3-4 capfuls a day but it has decreased her pain tremendously and she would not go

back to the pills. She takes so much because her body does not absorb calcium well. I don't know that anyone

else would have to take this much. Hope this helps

Be Well Sonya

===============================================

Payge, I have a customer with Fibromyalgia. She was in consent pain. She had tried everything over a period of

several years from conventional doctors and drugs to alternative medical, such as acupuncture. Nothing helped.

She tried OPC-3, starting out with 3 to 4 doses a day. Within a month she felt an improvement and now will not

go with out it. She is almost completely free of pain. It really felt good to be a part of helping someone make an

improvement in their life. Good Luck.

===============================================

November 4, 1996 Dear Dennis F, I cannot begin to express my gratitude to market America for how OPC3 and

B-12 have changed my life. April 30, 1993 I was involved in a serious car accident. It was a miracle that I was

not killed. I was very lucky that all that I received was whiplash and severe bruising. Unfortunately six months

later I developed fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia can affect most, if no all, of our voluntary muscle tissues. There is

also a myriad of other symptoms. These symptoms include irritable bowel and bladder syndromes, confusion,

profound fatigue, interrupted or poor sleep, word mix-ups, numbness and tingling all over, spasms of the blood

vessels in the extremities, intolerance to any changes in barometric pressure, severe headaches and chest pain

which can be so severe that it can mimic a heart attack. Patients seem to be most unnerved by the mental

confusion, and are relieved to find that they do not have something like Alzheimer's disease. Dennis, I felt like

you should know how much OPC3 has helped me, if you were to see me I look the picture of health. There is no

cure for fibromyalgia. I was recommended by my doctors to take antidepressant or anti-inflammatories to help

me cope with the pain. I was also told that I would have fibromyalgia all of my life and to try to deal with it the


8/27



best I can. I never did take the medicines recommended to me but what I did do was take OPC3 and B-12 every

day! It has been three months now and I am pain free. I feel like a new person. With the combination of B-12 and

OPC3 I now dream at night, have a smile on my face and have begun to enjoy life again. Thanks, again, Market

America for B-12 and OPC3.

=======================================================================

Dear Cindy,

Thank you so much for introducing me to OPC-3, its changed my life completely. There were days I could not

even get out of bed after sleeping for 10 hours. Those days are gone thanks to OPC-3.

Since I have been taken my OPC-3, calcium and B12 I am completely off all my medication for my

fibromyagia. This disorder I suffer from is such a burden and hard to cope with. I am so happy I found a natural

way to deal with my disorder.

I will share one story how I am convinced that these products really work. There was a incident thathappen to me about a few months ago I left my OPC-3, calcium and B12 at a friends house I thought to my self

its only 3 days I should be fine And I will take it as soon as I get it back. That was the biggest mistake I have

ever made. All my symptoms of pain cane back to me on the second day I was feeling very fatigue, muscle

aches and my body started to shut its self down. I thought I will go home and get a good nights rest. The next

day it was no better, so I called Cindy and told her the story and she personally came down to my job and gave

me a few days worth of her own personnel bottles. I am very grateful that she did that and that she believes in

these products, because without them I would still be taking my medication from the Doctor.

This has changed my life, thank you Market America and thank you Cindy Wynn for everything and I will

never go without these products again.

Sincerely,

Laura F

February 2003I have had Fibromyalgia for 17 years. I am 44 years old and up until 3 months ago I felt like I was living in a 95 year old woman's' body.

Among a few of the worst symptoms I experienced were: I could not bend at the knees AT ALL without having excruciating pain.Because I couldn't use my leg muscles I would strain my back whenever I had to pick something up off of the floor. And heaven forbid Iever got down on the floor or ground because I could NOT get back up without help. This really cramped my style outdoors because I

am an avid Master Gardener and Landscaping Fanatic. Having to give that up completely in the summer of 2002 for what I thought wasgoing to be forever,> really robbed me of my spirit and zest that makes me special in the eyes of the people who know me. Also the tingling pins andneedles piercing my arms, hands and fingers that woke me up in the middle of the night robbed me of ever obtaining a truly restful nights'sleep. And on numerous occasions the leg cramps would be so bad that I had no choice but to get out of bed and soak in a warm tub ofwater for an hour or two.Consequently during the day my Chronic Fatigue was so bad that half the time I felt like I had better stop and check my pulse to see if Iwas still alive! When I could go on no more I would drag my half dead body back to lay down for a mid day nap but I'm not the kind ofperson who can sleep during the day so that never worked and usually I was up again within 20 minutes trying to accomplish some of thework I HAD to get done for the day. Three months ago I ran into a old friend at a funeral that I hadn't seen in nearly 20 years. He hadhelped numerous people with my condition obtain their quality of life back. I was totally skeptical because I had already tried everything


9/27



out there to no avail. Well, thank God he MADE me try the OPC-3 Supplement because I feel like a million dollars today. I will never bewithout it. More than 3/4 of the testimonials I read from people who have Fibromyalgia, had success within 3 days of taking the OPC-3,and for years keep their body in check with just one cap a day. However, since my case was so extreme I started out with 3 capfuls

A.M. and 3 capfuls P.M. as a loading dose. After this regimen for a period of 2 months I was able to get up off the floor with no help andno hands!!!!!Now after being on the product just 3 months I can outrun my 8 year old son! I feel like I'm 18 years old again. I now take only 1 to 2capfuls a day to keep things in check. I got my life back. Now I want to help others get theirs back so I have become a Market America

Distributor since the Isotonically capable OPC-3 is exclusively available through them. Also, thank God for Market America's "WAKETHE DEAD" Mochotonix for treating my fatigue problems without drugs or prescriptions. It works. And it works FAST!! It has alsohelped me achieve some weight loss. I love it!I just can't thank my friend or Market America enough for what they have put on my plate. As promised, I will share with others which Ihave been given.

Sincerely, Karen M. TNorfolk, NE

====================================================================================

It is now April 2004, and I am still experiencing new improvements to my health, here are a couple examples:I used to have a set of reading glasses in every room of the house. After being on the Isotonix Nutritionals for about 8 months, I noticed Iwasn't using the glasses for reading anymore! Before I started taking OPC 3 my memory was deteriorating. For example, if you

interrupted me in the middle of a sentence, there is NO WAY I would be able to remember what I was talking about. In other words mytrain of thought was very very short. I've been taking OPC 3 for a year and a half now. I no longer have a problem remembering what Iam talking about. It's unbelievable how you notice people having > that problem once you no longer have it! It's an epidemic!!

========================================================================

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 2 1/2 years ago when in a bedridden state with chronic pain throughout

my body, dry eyes and mouth, irritable bowel, headaches, depression, anxiety, loss of sleep and memory,

tingling throughout my body and total shut down. I take allot of magnesium (slowmag), OPC-3, Isochrome,

calcium, multi, B12, Aloe, antioxidant, oxygen plus, and vitamin C daily. Also, must eat differently, drink allot of

water daily, and do some exercise. If more info is needed, please let me know.Because I care,

==============================================

I would recommend her starting out the products without the loading dose. Some people can't handle that much

OPC-3 or Glucosatrin. Have her take OPC-3 1 cap full until she gets it into her system about 1 month then go for

on to 2 capfuls. She will need two capfuls of OPC-3 everyday thereafter, The same with the Glucosatrin, just get

her to take it 2x daily it may take a little longer to get the results however it does work. She should also be taking

the multivitamin. I have had Fibromyalgia for 9 years and have taken every pain/anit-inflamitory/muscle relaxer

out there and nothing worked like this combination. Does she want to live in pain or like a zombie or does she

want to feel better? Believe it or not some people like misery or just give up. She/He needs to make a decision

do you want to beat this thing??????? I am not a doctor this is just what has helped me and I strongly

recommend it for everyone else out their with this horrible illness. I found excuses for not wanting to take it at the

beginning also, however I was lucky enough to have a best friend tell me what do I have to loose by trying it and

look what I will gain if it works. I have my life back now and have started one of the most powerful business

ventures imaginable with my husband, yes Market America, and I thank God for the amazing products and also

for the incredible compensation plan. I have gotten my life back and at 37 this feels wonderful. Can your friend

say that? If I can be of further assistance please feel free to contact me. Best wishes,

===============================================

"I was diagnosed as having chronic fatigue with secondary Fibromyalgia. It is a chronic condition that causes

fatigue and widespread pain throughout the body. Some call chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia the "irritable,

everything syndrome"! I started on OPC's as another thing to try after many different prescriptions. I had

absolutely no faith in it, but figured it wouldn't hurt me. In 3 days, I noticed that I was really having some good

days, which I decided was due to my ups and downs. After about 3 and half months, I consider myself back to

normal. My activities are many and my schedule is booked full. No fatigue or pain hinders my life."

====================

Christy, I suffered with fibromyalgia for years and was under a rheumatologist. His treatment of choice was

exercise and minute dosages (1/4 pill of the smallest pill that drug companies manufacture) of Librium (sp?) 4

hours before retiring at night. This regimen did help but did not solve the problem. I still reached for the Advil

bottle every morning before I had my morning coffee because I hurt so much in the morning. I was so fatigued

every morning that it took me 2-3 hours before I felt like doing anything. I became affiliated with Market America

in March 1998 and began taking OPC3 shortly after for lower back pain. Lo and behold, after 3 days of the

loading dose, I awoke one morning, went through my morning routine of vitamins, then coffee, then reading the

morning paper and suddenly realized that I had not taken any Advil because I WASN'T HURTING! I couldn't

believe it. I also had more energy in the morning and became much more productive because I felt like being

productive. The black cloud of negative feelings lifted and I felt like living completely for the first time in years.

Now I have added Glucosatrin and fibromyalgia is NOT a problem. I am so thankful for OPC3 and highly

recommend it for fibromyalgia. If anyone wants to speak personally with me, I will gladly discuss it with anyone.

Hi. My name is Vikki, I live in NH. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia as well as bipolar 7 years ago. I had many

different treatments, antidepressants, diet changes, exercise, massage therapy, the list goes on. A year ago, this

week , I was introduced to OPC3. I felt a tremendous difference in a week. As of today I am 100% symptom free

of both. I do take many other Isotonix, but I know that OPC3 gave me the "jump-start" I was looking for. Hope

this is helpful

===============================================

A lot may depend on how long he has had this problem and how much of a dosage of OPC-3 you have him on.

We have found that people with this problem tend to do better with a large loading dose for 3 weeks before

lowering it to a maintenance dose. As an example we might suggest 6 caps of OPC-3 per day as a loading dose

taken for the first 3-4 weeks for such an individual along with one cap of Antioxidant, which can increase the

potency of the OPC-3 by as much as 50%, along with one cap of Vitamin C, which can increase the potency of

the OPC-3 by as much as 20%. We have found that most people with this problem will usually notice a

difference within the loading period of the first 3-4 weeks if they take the products as described above; however

not all people will, some may need 45-90 days to experience a difference. I hope this assists you.

Re: - Fibromyalgia Date: 6/29/00 9:04:26 AM Mountain Daylight Time I have Fibro and have been under doctors'

(and that's doctors) care for years. This past October (1999) I freed myself from ALL medications and here's

how: I take 3caps of OPC3 first thing every day with 2 caps of Isochrome and CoQ10. I take all our vitamins and

minerals (B12, Multi-Tech, Mineral Blast, and Vit C) with breakfast daily and take the Calcium (2caps) at night. I

have been on Glucosatrin since last September and have only recently been able to lower my daily dose from 2

caps 2x a day to 2 caps 1x daily. (In the last 30 days I have noticed that if I miss a day---I do not have any

recurring pain the next day---this is one more improvement.) I also take TC Select daily. This seems to help with

other disorders I suffered with my entire life (i.e. manic depression, migraine headaches, TMJ and sever

tendonitis). I have been taking OPC3 for two years and as time passes I notice more and more positive changes

in my health. When the fibro "achiness" kicks in at night (and that is very seldom) I just add a cap or two of

OPC3 to my nighttime calcium and sleep like a baby. I recently started taking Straw-Kiwi Aloe at night, seems to

help my sleep and I wake up more rested. Might sound like a lot, but my quality of life has improved 300%! I wasloosing days at a time to the agonies caused by the Fibro and Migrainesthe pain and medications ruled my life

for more than15 years. Migraines would wake me up feeling like an elephant was standing on my head. Visits to

the emergency room, resulted in massive injections of Demerol and anything and everything the professionals

thought would help. The pain always remained and my ability to function with the medications became very

limited. I would have to be carried out of the emergency room and lost most of my ability to think, talk, function,

etc. I was often just "sleeping it all off. The Fibromyalgia caused muscle cramping and leg thrashing in the night.

I suffered with achiness affecting my ability to sleep or relax. As a result, the doctor's medication of choice was

often a muscle relaxer and anti-depressant or both. Visits to massage therapists and chiropractors sometimes

helped and other times didn't. If found myself just "drugged up" a lot of the time. I became dependent on a self-

injection medication for the migraines called Imitrex. Horrible effects from this drugalthough it would often abort

the migraine. I still lost a day or so recouping from the effects of the headaches and the medication. The Imitrex

also seemed to set off more pain and discomfort of the Fibromyalgia---I was in a giant "catch 22". I can only say,

I am so thankful it is all behind me. Today, I get up feeling greatno aches and pains, no headaches----ever! I

can get out of bed without the help of my husband (for months he had to assist me and it took quite some time

to get the body moving without pain) I sleep incredibly well and have lost all the weight caused by the adverse

effects of all the meds. (Thanks to the SouthBeach Diet) The "chronic" problems I was diagnosed with seem to

be non-existent with my daily routine of vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants. I am so thankful for Market

America and these amazing products.

March 16, 1999 I was a very active woman, with healthy eating habits, healthy exercise habits, and never on

medications. Hospitals were foreign to me, thank the Lord. Approximately 6 yrs ago, I started experiencing some

unusual symptoms to include getting tired quickly, forgetting where I was going/coming from; losing my thoughts

in the middle of sentences, simple things that I took for granted would just flow from my lips would get caught

somewhere in space. Tingling throughout my body, sleep apnea, drying of the mouth. Many other symptoms, but

these name a few. I consulted my doctor and was sent home with "nothing observed". Just my "nerves" I was


12/27



told. I started to wonder about Alzheimer's. A few years passed with the same problems, only becoming more

intense. Another doctor, and same results....nothing seems to be wrong. Continued plugging away, but time

didn't help...things got worse. I couldn't get up in the morning, and I couldn't wait to go back to bed when I did

force myself up.....Every part of my body ached with pain. I lost my way several times while driving in a city that I

had been familiar with for almost 30 years. I was exhausted from the "inside - out". I ended up in the hospital

emergency room having lost my vision, my hearing, my motor skills, my memory (didn't recognize my owndaughter when she came to see me)...I was a mess. "They" performed several tests on me and when I was sent

home from the hospital, I was told I had experienced a "migraine" attack. They set me up with a Neurologist. He

sent me home with "nothing" found. There was nothing more for me to do! I consulted a different doctor with a

large list of complaints....mostly the memory loss that had been occurring, joint and muscle pain, exhaustion!

(I'm talking about an exhaustion that is so bad you can hardly lift a fork to your mouth to eat). Again, I was sent

home with "nothing". After a long cry, I sent my husband to see our niece about "that stuff" she kept talking

about! OPC3 Two years she spent, trying to get me to try it! Well, this was my last hope, so I decided to "listen"

this time! Let me tell you...... Three weeks to the day I started my loading dose of this product, I felt that terrible

5-year cloud lift from my head. I wasn't "cured" right away, but since that time, it's been down hill all the way. I

started reading about this anti oxidant, and the other Isotonix supplements, because I wanted to know what it

was that "changed my life". I now take a combination of these vitamin supplements as well as the TC 5000 andTC Select. After much reading, listening, talking....I consider that I have experienced Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

and Fibromyalgia.I am back to my healthy self again! That "syndrome" does not exist in my life! I am enjoying a

very wonderfully healthy life, thanks to Market America, Inc. and their products! I am pain free and living long,

happy days again. I praise and thank God for putting this company and it's products at my fingertips. Thanks you

and God Bless!

===============================================Dear Friends, This testimony is being written to encourage and give hope to anyone who can relate to my story

and to introduce you to the incredible Isotonix products Market America offers. It all started five years ago, when

I was diagnosed with Mono while I was pregnant. I ended up on bed rest two thirds of that pregnancy. On

average, I slept 12-14 hours a day. Soon after my baby girl was born, I was diagnosed with Epstein Barr Virus.

When you have EBV, you feel like you have a bad flu 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The fatigue is

overwhelming, every part of you aches, and you're constantly fighting infections because your immune system is

unable to fight them off. You live from one prescription to another and one Doctor to another. I continued to feel

worse finding very little relief. I underwent so many tests and procedures to find out if I had a more serious

condition. It was then that I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Chronic Fatigue Immune

Deficiency Syndrome. CFS is very similar to EBV with added stomach problems, insomnia, chronic headaches,

sore throat, numerous allergies to both food and environment, and memory problems (a.k.a. "brain fog"). The

fatigue becomes crippling and disabling. During the same time period when I was diagnosed with CFS, I had

another baby girl. Having two babies at home with CFS was incredibly difficult. There were so many days when

we never changed out of our pajamas. Every ounce of energy I had was spent taking care of the girls and their

older brother, everything else went undone. I was so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I decided to see a

Naturopath Doctor for alternative treatment. Natural medicine helped me more than prescriptions (due to the

horrible side effects I had) but at a high price. On average, I spent $250 dollars a month that was not covered by

insurance. After two years of this with my husband being the only income earner for our family, I could no longer


13/27



afford to continue seeing the Naturopath. At this point in my life, I returned to the Medical Doctors for treatment

and I could not have gone any lower. It was then, that I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I call it a "Curse".

Fibromyalgia affects every part of your body from head to toe in horrific ways. You feel as if you are literally

dying, day by day. I began to think I would never see my children grow up and share in all their milestones. I

even began to plan my own funeral as horrible as that sounds; it's very true. The pain is so intense and seems to

never let up, it just gets worse. By this time, I was taking many prescriptions and receiving 14 injection shots aminimum of twice a week. These injections would numb the pain so I could halfway function and walk. I received

four injections in each knee, two in each upper shoulder area, and two in my upper neck area at the base of my

skull. The first shot in the base of my skull, I had my firs! t panic attack. I felt so hopeless and fell into a deep

depression.Now hear my recovery story! A friend of mine who knew my health problems told me that she had a

product she thought could help me. I was very skeptical because I truly had tried everything (I thought). The

product she had was OPC-3. The product sounded great and the cost was very reasonable. I had nothing to

lose so I gave it a try. Four days after taking OPC-3 my worst pain in my knees was almost completely gone.

Seven days after taking OPC-3, I made the decision to stop taking my prescriptions and to have NO MORE

injections. I haven't been to the Doctors since then. At this same time, I also started B-12 and my energy level

dramatically increased. I am so thankful that I was open minded enough to try these products. Today I have my

supplement cocktail every morning of OPC-3 and the other Isotonix products. I have never felt better. PraiseGod!! Every day I am truly grateful for the these products literally giving me my life back and my husband is just

as grateful because he has his wife back too. Since these products were working so well for me and the rest of

my family, I looked into getting them at wholesale prices. When I discovered how easy this was to do I became a

Distributor with Market America and now purchase the products directly from the company and have them

delivered to my front poor. I then began to share my story and how well I was feeling with a few friends and they

shared with a few friends and so on. Everyone wanted the products and continues too want more because their

health has improved and they are feeling better. At this point, Market America has turned into a part-time

business (8-10 hours a week) and this month we will have earned OVER $3,000 in commission checks and

almost double that if you include retail sales profits in just 7 months. Remember that we joined Market America

to get the products at wholesale prices not realizing we would receive commission checks like we! are. And the

BEST part of this business is that we are helping people to feel better and to improve their health. For this

reason alone, we would do this business even if we never received a single commission check. Several times a

week both my husband and I hear such awesome testimonies of what these products are doing for them and

receive sincere appreciation for introducing them to these products. I get emotional thinking of how many people

are being helped and that I have the honor of being a part in that. As I said earlier, these products have given

me my life back and Market America is allowing us to give our children choices and to fulfill our dreams. I am a

walking, talking, and LIVING example of what Market America is all about. I extend an offer to you to take a look

at these products and the Company at their websitewww.canjoy.unfranchise.com, if not for you, but for

someone you know. Then I'll look forward to hearing from you, so you too can begin your road to improved

health and begin your recovery story. Wishing You And Yours Good Health And God's Blessings!

I have had a chemical imbalance for a number of years due to vitamin deficiency. I have been allergic to all store

vitamins and have had to be hospitalized for it. I also had a calcium deficiency and the calcium pills the doctors

were giving me for 7 years were not working. My hairdresser finally convinced me to try the MultiTech and

Calcium Plus. Within a month, my doctor noticed the difference in my blood work and my skin color. He told me

whatever I had found keep using it and don't stop! Within two month, my dentist noticed that my teeth were

beginning to tighten back up in my gums and that my fingernails were beginning to harden. Both doctors were

glad that I had finally found something that would give me better health. In January of 1999, I started fracturing

vertebra's and had also developed stenosis of the lower spine that caused me so much pain that they were

talking about starting me on morphine therapy. Since I am morphine intolerant, I felt that was not an option. Iended up giving up my home in Virginia and went to live with my sister in Vermont in June. I could hardly walk

and wasn't able to take care of myself. In October, Market America's magazine, Powerline, ! described the

product Glucosatrin and I called my hairdresser to get more information. I then ordered it right away because I

didn't want to use the pain relief treatment the Veterans Hospital wanted to use. Within three (3) weeks, it not

only relieved 75% of my back pain but also cleared up my Fibromyalgia. The rest of the pain became

manageable. I have had such success with these products that my doctors can't believe that I can walk and not

use my wheelchair. I have had to stop taking the Multi Tech because of the iron, but am taking: OPC-3,

Isochrome w/Q-10, Antioxidant, vitamin C, Glucosatrin, and ThermoChrome 10,000 ThermoChrome has helped

me lose 35 pounds this year and with the Isochrome, I haven't had an angina attack in several months. Many

times when the vertebra's fracture, it causes some chest pain because of muscle spasms and by taking the

Glucosatrin and Isochrome, it has made manageable. If it! weren't for Market America's products, I would haveto live with my sister or in an Assisted Living Facility instead of buying a new home in New Hampshire. THANKS

MARKET AMERICA for giving me a new start in life!!

===============================================

From my experience with Fibromyalgia customers, I would say "no" the OPC-3 does not interact negatively with

pain killers. In fact, I have a lady who got off *all* of her pain medications since being on OPC-3. She started on

OPC-3, Antioxidant and Mineral Blast and wanted to take TC Select (this put another cust. into remission) but

she is on Synthroid for her Thyroid. She is doing awesome on the products, in fact, has become a distributor

since having such great results!! Hope this helps!

==================

I too have a customer with Fibro. It's ME!!!! I've been on OPC-3 for over a year now and will NEVER be without

it. The pain is all but gone. I'm doing things that I haven't been able to do for 2-3 years prior to OPC-3. My first

comment would be to convince your client that a 90 day committment is a must. Three weeks just isn't enoughtime to tell if OPC-3 is right for her. Be sure to get this committment!! She'll love you for it. I also have Reflux

Esophagitis (sic). I found that my stomach reacted to the natural "fizz" in some of our products. I've learned to

let my OPC-3 cocktail (with Vitamin C) sit for at least 5 minutes before I drink it. That really helped. You may

also want to discuss our Aloe drink with your client. I sincerely hope you can convince her to stay on OPC-3 for

at least 90 days. Life without the Fibro pain is "beautiful". Good luck and we'll see you at the top.

===============================================

Ditto! I have a customer with that condition also and a rhematoid athritis and more. She had to take OPC for

several months in at least 4x daily, plus multitech and calcium to notice any aid in pain. But after about 3

months she ran out thinking she could wait til she returned from a trip and reorder. She got into so much pain

she was begging me for the OPC upon her return- and it has been over a year now and needless to say she

does NOT run out. Adding mineral blast is also helpful I hear, but we got her under control with OPC, multitech,

and calcium. And she was on (zorcor? and she stopped that after only taking that med for a month) we also

added feminene recently because she stopped HRT treatment after all the negative reports and the feminene is

helping those symptoms. Customer is 50 yrs. old.Hope it helps,

Deborah h. s

============================================================

At a Local Seminar a couple of years ago the speaker recommended "six caps a day until the pain goes away" and then start reducing

the dosage. (Two caps three times per day)

After having less than good results with the first two customers that tried OPC-3 for fibromyalgia, I tried the six caps with the next one and

the results were wonderful. She backed down to four caps per day after four weeks.

Hi Nancy,

I have fibomyalgia. I took 4 caps of OPC daily and 2 Vitamin C at first. What she has is called Fibro Fog to those of us with this illness.

It is part of the illness. I now take OPC-3 (4 caps), Vitamin C- (2caps), Antioxidants(1cap), CoQ10 (1cap), Feminene (2 capsules), B-12(2caps) and Oxygen Plus (2 capsules) daily. These have been a life saver for me. I still have this feeling occasional ly but not every day

like I did. Now it only happens when I'm in a flare up which are fewer and far less episodes. Have her add one at a time. See how she

does.

Warm wishes,

Big Al,

I Lived with Fybromyalgia, Spimadic muscles, RA and lots of other problems for 9 years because of which was the

results of two car accidents and wrongly prescribed pharmacy medicines. I had three disk fused together and the second

accident injured two of them plus more disks. My surgeon said all he could do was fuse all the disks together with a still

rod and I would have to have someone lead me anywhere I walked the rest of my life. So, I live with pain for all those

years trying not to have that surgery. My last two and half of years if I drove the car 10 minutes, I was out of it in bed for

three days. I sleep the last 9 months setting straight up could not let my head touch anything. The more conventional

medicines I was given made me go even deeper into pain. I was given every type of treatment you could have had. I was

on 13 different pain meds and going every other day for 17-31 trigger point injections in my head and neck plus therapy 3-

4 times a week. I HAD NO LIFE!


16/27



I had just prayed to God if he didnt do something within 2-3 day I could not handle the pain anymore; I was on the verge

of being suicidal. With in 2 hours of that prayer, the phone rang, it was My NOW sponsor, he called me to tell he had a

person that had this product that would help pain. I said if you can get it to me over night I would try it. With in three days

of July 3, 2002 taking ONLY OPC-3 triple dose twice a day the first time. I could tell it was helping me, so I slowly took

myself off ALL 13 pain meds that I had depended on for years, three of them any and as many doses I wanted to take a

day. Six weeks to the day, starting on OPC-3, I was off ALL my meds and TOTALLY pain free. So, my husband and I becameDistributors that next June just to get product wholesale. This past August was three years so far with NO pain. The OPC-

3s is a product I will NEVER go off of because I do not want back to how my body felt or my life was.

I am so grateful for the whole team at Market America and my sponsors for telling me about the Isotonix line, that I, as

many of you, are ever ideated to tell anyone I can about OPC-3s. Hope this will help someone in the future.

It has taken my husband and I longer to start working Market Americas recruiting part of the business because of getting

myself back into shape. We really just started working it this past February. But watch out!

Transitions have also helped me loose 81 pounds from a size tight 18 to a 10 since last November.

LIVES ARE BEING CHANGED WITH MARKET AMERICA.

Al,

When Mark & I became Market America distributors I was full blown Fibromyalgia and I had sinuses really bad,

headaches, etc.

Taking the OPC 3 daily I never realized that it was doing more for me than the Fibromyalgia, sinuses,

headaches, etc. I did not realize the prevention of other concerns. However in July of this year I was put on

strong antiboitics for weeks and was not able to take my OPC-3 during that time. I realized on Sunday Morning

of convention I had an ugly large varicose vein poking out in my upper right leg. When I was able to get back on

the OPC-3 the varicose vein began to diminish and is almost gone. Because I do have Fibromyalgia, I take at

least 1 capful per 75 pounds; some days I take more. However that's another testimony!

I hope this helps.

Fibromyalgia


17/27



I was officially diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in December, 2004 after being in pain for months. I was going to thedoctor, and they were doing different tests to rule out all kinds of diseases, but I kept getting worse. My doctortold me in September that he was pretty sure that I did have fibromyalgia but he wanted me to see arheumatologist to be sure. I saw him December, 2004 and he told me that I did have fibromyalgia and he alsoadjusted my medications. This gave me a small amount of relief but it was only temporary... I spiraleddownward from about February onward. My pain intensified greatly. I could not sleep at night because of theextreme pain in my hips and my lower back. {Originally the pain was contained to my right hip but by spring itwas both hips.} My sleep pattern was so broken that I would be in a sort of mental fog when I awoke in themorning. It would take me anywhere from an hour to three hours just to get going in the mornings. The majorityof the time, I felt like my brain was in a huge mental fog bank. I could not think clearly, partly because ofmedication side effects and partly because of lack of quality sleep. HOWEVER,

In October, 2005, I was introduced to a most amazing product called OPC-3. It has changed my life! I startedtaking OPC-3 by doing a load, THREE capfuls of OPC-3 in the morning and TWO capfuls in the evening. Istarted to feel results after only one week on the product. I continue to take OPC-3 daily. I vary my daily amountfrom two capfuls if I am having no pain or stress in my life(ha, ha), to as many as four capfuls per day if I amhaving some pain when I wake up. I was able to come off of all THREE of my medications that my M.D. hadprescribed for the Fibromyalgia. I never had near the relief of symptoms with the prescription drugs that I haveexperienced with the OPC-3.

I initially just took the OPC-3 by itself and did not add other products for about three to four weeks. It took mesome time to work other things into my schedule. I was advised from the very beginning to take the OPC-3,Calcium Plus, Multi-Tech, B-12 and that I needed to add the Greens to my regimen. I have since followed this

advice.

I was asked how long it took for me to achieve results with OPC-3. As I stated earlier, I started to notice adifference after only one week on OPC-3. After I had been on the product for about a month and had added theabove mentioned products to my daily supplementation routine, I was able to come off of all my prescription

medications for fibromyalgia!!! This was truly amazing.

If you ever have anyone question the price and make statements about insurance covering the prescription

meds for fibromyalgia but NOT covering the OPC-3 and other products from MA, I have a good response forthat. I am paying LESS for my nutritional supplements that I was paying in Co-Pays for my pharmaceuticals!!!Not only am I saving money, I cannot even begin to relay to you how completely my QUALITY of LIFE has beenbettered since I found OPC-3 and the other products from Market America. My pain is almost non-existent andmy energy level is through the roof. My friends and family have noticed a huge difference in the things that I amonce again able to do that I could not do for a long period of time.

I thank God daily for being able to find the Market America products because I KNOW what! a trem endousdifference they have made in my life.

If you have more questions, or if someone wants to talk with me directly, I am very pleased to share my story!

Sincerely,

Retha K. DBlessed With Health

Fibromyalgia


18/27



I've suffered with Fibromyalgia for 15 years. Often times the pain in all of my trigger points was debilitating. Ialways had a cane with me to depend on for the times when walking would become nearly impossible withoutsupport. I am in my forties but my lack of mobility made me appear double my age. Up until Sept. '06 I wason four different medications for the pain, inflammation, and the resulting sleep deprivation. I sampled OPC-3 ata product preview and found I could walk the shopping mall for five hours that same day, no cane, no support. Ididn't believe that this formula would have made an impact after just one sample, but I had no otherexplanation. I started OPC-3 regularly a week later, loading dose first, then continuing on 2 caps first thing in the

morning. ! ; When my activity level is increased or weather changes cause an increase in pain, I increase mydosage for the day. Within 6 weeks, I had weaned off all of the prescription medication for the Fibromyalgia. Iam a new person, free to move, walk up stairs, even sleep through the night. No more mid-day deadeningfatigue. (Transitions helped with that as well!) I am slowly adding exercise into my regimen without the pain andtendonitis flare up that used to occur. I added multi-tech with iron and CoQ-10 and feel better now than I everremember feeling in my adult and latter teen life.Good Health, Janet M

I just wanted to share this all of you. Previous to getting into Market America I was not happy with my life. I was over

weight, depressed and struggling with my chronic conditions. Fibromyalgia, migraines and I even developed chest pain

and was put on high blood pressure medications. Well to make a long story short. I met my business partner Suada and

she turned me on to Market America products. I started on OPC3 and progressed from there. I now take Calcium, B

complex and Complete greens. I also signed up for Transitions Lifestyle and I am fantastic! I was wearing size 12 to 14 and

today I just went shopping as my pants were falling off of me. Today I tried on a pair of Size 8 pants and they fit. What

can I say except that Transitions works if you know of anyone that you want to share this with please do so. It not a diet it

is about a lifestyle change and Market America products and Transitions have changed my life. I have not looked this

good since I was in my 20s and I am now 53. I look better than my son who is 31. I feel great, and I love the relationships

that I have made through this business. I am looking forward to making Market America my primary means of income

and firing my boss because with Market America the skies the Limit.

===============================================Jackie, age 32 ish - Chronic Fatigue syndrome and Fibromyalgia for some 10years

"I had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, accompanied with chronic fatigue syndrome. The doctors prescribed a strong

anti-inflammatory drug plus an anti-depressant. For two and a half years I had been able to sleep only on my back. When I

started taking OPC's, the pain improved in 3 days, and in 14 days most of it was gone. The pain in my arms had been very

severe, like an abscessed tooth. The pain in the groin, ribcage, hip, back, neck, and elbow has also gone for the most part."

===============================================

"I was diagnosed as having chronic fatigue with secondary Fibromyalgia. It is a chronic condition that causes fatigue andwidespread pain throughout the body. Some call chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia the "irritable, everything syndrome"! I

started on OPC's as another thing to try after many different prescriptions. I had absolutely no faith in it, but figured it

wouldn't hurt me. In 3 days , I noticed that I was really having some good days, which I decided was due to my ups and

downs. After about 3 and a half months, I consider myself back to normal. My activities are many and my schedule is

booked full. No fatigue or pain hinders my life."

Margie Ls Testimonial

OK, heres my story. This may possibly be the longest testimonial youve ever seen, so you might besorry you asked for it. I will also warn you that I take a LOT of product! You asked specifically about

my fibromyalgia, but I also had a multitude of other health issues so I feel compelled to include that aspart of my story. Even without those additional complications, fibromyalgia itself is a fairly complex

syndrome. Fibromyalgia is not a disease, but rather a collection of maladies that combine together to

form the syndrome.

As you know, when I decided to start my Market America business, it was not because of the product.

Indeed, I had not even tried a single product when I launched my business. I came into the business

after many years of analyzing business models professionally. This was just the most brilliant businessmodel I had ever seen and I knew that the products worked from interviewing many distributors in the

process of evaluating the business. I had no idea that the products would change my health status so

dramatically, or that Market America would change my life forever for the better.

In the summer of 1998, when I first became a Market America distributor, I think its fair to say thatmy life was a total mess. I had left Wall Street with 3 bleeding ulcers, extremely severe allergies to

everything from shellfish to perfume, excruciating back pain and muscle inflammation that was soextreme that you could actually see the muscles in my neck, shoulders, and back bulging out from

under my clothes. I was running a very demanding franchise business in the alarm industry, typically

leaving my house around 5:30 in the morning and returning around midnight. My exhaustion,

depression, pain and chronic infections (especially upper respiratory) were profound. I visited mychiropractor 5 days a week and a massage therapist 4 days a week just to be able to function. My

chiropractor (bless his heart) would sit in his office and cry in frustration. He just didnt know how to

help me, and the agony I suffered was painful to watch. By Sunday, I was bedridden each week, tooexhausted to get out of bed. Getting up to use the bathroom was enough of an ordeal to make me burst

into tears. I was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and although it was a comfort to know that there

was a name for my misery, there was very little that traditional medicine could offer me.

I placed my initial order to become a distributor, and OPC-3 was on that order. That bottle sat on my

kitchen counter for weeks as I was completely overwhelmed with my life and just never got around to

getting started. I had to wake up about 2 hours before leaving my house to leave myself time to ramp

up. It usually took about an hour (and a long hot shower with a massaging shower head) in the

morning just to be able to finally stand upright because the muscle spasms in my back were so severe.

So anyway, on one particularly bleak morning, when I was hunched over in my kitchen, clinging to thecounter for support, I laid my eyes on that OPC and thought I had better try this because my condition

was worsening every day. I will never forget that day. Ten minutes later, I was standing upright,

flipping eggs on a skillet, and then it dawned on me how much better I felt. I was in shock. I damned

near burned my house down because I left those eggs right where they were to call Andy (who

introduced me to the business) on his cell phone to see if such a thing were possible. He laughed andsaid he really didnt know because it usually took people a while to feel results, but he had heard of

many miracles with this product, and why not keep taking it & see how I felt. So I did

After many years of carrying an Epi-Pen with me at all times to deal with the very severe allergic

reactions that gave me an inside view of every single ER in metro NYC, I have not filled that

prescription since. My life-threatening allergic reactions just stopped. I could once again ride anelevator with people wearing fragrance, I could dine out like normal people, and I could enjoy a day in

the city without vomiting in the street from exhaust fumes. My visits to the chiropractor dwindled

down to once a week, and my massage therapy went from being a dire necessity to a rare treat. Mymood improved dramatically, and everyone around me noticed.

I took a very high loading dose of OPC-3 because thats what worked best for me. I took 2 caps in themorning, 2 mid-day and 2 more at night. If I felt one of my many respiratory issues flare up

(bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia, etc.), I took a cap every hour until it was gone. I quickly added aloe

juice to my routine because I was still suffering from excruciating pain from my ulcers, although they

were no longer bleeding. I drank 2 to 4 ounces of aloe a day because I felt a big difference with myulcers, my irritable bowel syndrome (another joy of fibro) and my eczema. Within 4 weeks, I was off

my prescription Zantac and found myself enjoying things I had not been able to eat in years, like

tomatoes and lemonade.

Little by little, I started adding things to my regimen and my steady improvement continued. I felt a

big improvement just with the Calcium Plus, morning and night, especially with the muscle spasms.

When I added Mineral Blast every other day, I felt such an immediate surge of energy and mentalclarity that I never stopped taking it again. Vitamin B-12 put an end to my nervous jitters and mood

swings. My monthly periods improved dramatically as well, although Im not sure what supplement

specifically I can credit for that. Its hard to say what helped me the most because everything I addedmade me feel better & better.

Within 9 months after starting with Market America, I sold my existing business to my partner,

substantially lowering my stress level. After years of being told that I would not be able to havechildren, I found myself pregnant. My OB/GYN was thrilled with the Isotonix that I was taking. He

did not prescribe pre-natal vitamins to me and said, No prescription that I can write you would be

better than what youre taking now. Id like to get all my patients on these products. My pregnancy,which was supposed to be high-risk, was flawless. I never even got morning sickness. Because I am a

DES baby and had several reproductive issues as well, including an abnormal cervix, I was supposed to

be bed-ridden for my last trimester. That never happened. I felt better than I had ever felt in my life. I

worked (if you can call it that) my Market America business right up to a few days before my due date.I went into labor on my exact due date and gave birth to a beautiful and healthy 10-pound baby boy. I

stayed home for 7 months after James was born to enjoy that very special time with my bundle of joy.

This was an experience that I was told all my life that I would never have and I will treasure it always.Because of the residual income that this business provides, I continued to get paid during that time

period and I am so very grateful for that opportunity to stay home with him.

Afterpregnancy, which my endocrinologist tells me is a privileged immune state, I did have a flare-

up of my fibromyalgia. I added Prime to my daily routine when I finished nursing my son, and once

again, felt like a million bucks. Unfortunately, I can no longer take Prime because of a number of pre-

cancerous growths (its not a good idea to take a growth stimulant in such an instance), and I miss it

terribly. I would absolutely suggest Prime for anyone with fibromyalgia because research shows adirect correlation between human growth hormone (or lack thereof) and this syndrome.

I also miss my ThermoChrome, but have found Mochatonix to be an excellent substitute. WithMochatonix, I feel a mental clarity and ability to organize my thoughts that I have not experienced

since I first became ill with fibromyalgia (which I think was about 25 years ago). This is called fibro

fog and its just terrible. I would often lose my car in parking lots, space out on the highway & forgetwhere I was going, wander around my house knowing that I was supposed to be doing something but

unable to remember what it was. I would forget a conversation within moments of having it, which is a


21/27



very hard way to live. My inability to organize my thoughts affected every aspect of my life and I amvery grateful that I can have a delicious drink in the morning (it also eliminated my need for the

massive quantities of coffee I drank every day just to keep going) that clears my head, lets me finish

tasks that Ive started, makes me feel happy & upbeat, and gives me energy that lasts all day long.

At the end of 2002, I had 6 pre-cancerous polyps removed from my colon. Immediately after that, I

added our Complete Greens formula and fiber powder to my daily routine, mixing them together in a

great-tasting shake before lunch. I also do a complete Nutri-Clean program once each quarter. I am

happy to report that my last colonoscopy revealed a perfect and clean colon, much to my GI docsamazement. As a side benefit, my cholesterol dropped 70 points over the first 4-month period during

which I added that shake to my routine. Amazing! The greens also give me a tremendous amount ofenergy & mental clarity, so now I swear by them as well.

When customized isotonix were introduced, I immediately took a NutriPhysical survey and ordered my

90-day supply. They happened to be delivered during a very rainy & stormy week, and adverse

weather like that can still affect my mood as Ive battled depression all my life (also part of the fibrosyndrome). Within 30 minutes of taking my first daily packet of customized isotonix, I felt that black

cloud lift. The difference was astounding. Ive run out on two occasions and definitely did not feel asterrific, so now I swear by that, too. I know my formula has a lot of B vitamins in it, so maybe thats a

factor, but I love the convenience of the daily packets and the confidence of knowing that Im gettingwhat I need every day.

I also have to mention that I was diagnosed with glaucoma at the age of 26, having already incurred

severe damage to my optic nerves. The best ophthalmolic neurologists in the country were completely

stumped by my condition and despite their best efforts, my optic nerves and eyesight continued todecline. That deterioration stopped completely when I started OPC-3, and I added our Vision Formula

to my routine as soon as it was introduced. My peripheral field vision tests continue to speak for

themselves, and my ophthalmologist now refers his patients to me for those products.

So, as I mentioned, I do take a lot of product. I will continue to take everything that I take, because if I

drop any of them, I just dont feel as well. My fibromyalgia is not cured, I just dont suffer anymore.

I still have peptic ulcer disease, I just dont have ulcers. I still have a scoliosis of the spine, I just donthave back pain. See what I mean? My body just handles all of those issues so much better. I cannot

put a price tag on my quality of life. Everything in my life has improved as a result of the products and

the businessmy stress level, my mood, my health, my marriage, and my financial situation. I willforever be grateful to God for putting Market America in my life. I cannot imagine what my life would

be like now without it!

Because not everyone would have the belief level or commitment to healing themselves that I now feel,

what I do with everyone to start out is Debi Waldecks Wellness Protocol, which I believe you alreadyhave. This helps to detoxify the body, reduce inflammation, and restore some of the healthy bacteria in

the GI tract. From there, I believe everyone on this planet should stay on OPC, aloe juice, calcium,

minerals, greens and fiber, and of course, our very excellent multi. If anyone stays on that routine, theyshould feel substantial improvement very quickly, and I would try to add the customized isotonix

formula because I believe so strongly in it. They can then eliminate the multi & mineral blast, but

should continue to take the OPC (as much as they need, which is different for everyone), aloe, calcium,greens & fiber. I take a minimum of 3 caps of OPC daily, even after all this time, because if I take any

less than that, I feel my symptoms flare up.
