My
name is Jeanette Holbrook and I am from Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I
have had migraine headaches since I was a teenager. Every day I
lived with some type of pain in my head. I have had MCS (Multiple Sensitivities Environmental
Illness) for 18 years. This causes a collapse of the immune system
from being allergic to chemicals, pollen, dust, and cotton. I had to
give up a successful Shaklee business of 13 years because I could no
longer go into homes that did not use Shaklee cleaners. When I went
to church or anywhere, I had to be sure that I did not sit by someone that
was wearing cologne or perfume.
I could not go to any functions in a building that had
been closed up for over 24 hours. I could not even shop in stores or visit
friends. In other words, I was for the most part, homebound. I have
taken allergy shots for 15 years.
About every three months, I had to take medication for sinus infections
that would last for a month or more. because of these allergies, I
had severe headaches, ringing, and popping in my ears. I was
always sick and rarely had a good day or relief from my allergies.
Six years ago, I was diagnosed with Lupus and then a year later with
Fibromyalgia. I had severe pain in my joints, muscles, ligaments, and
tendons. I constantly had stiffness and fatigue (at times I would have a
complete "body shut-down"). I had difficulty concentrating, and
sometimes I could not remember where I was going or why. In order to get
relief to sleep at night, I would be up anywhere from 12:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.
soaking in a hot bath just to get 2 to 3 hours of sleep. Last year I had 3
months of depression and pain so bad that I thought of ways to end my
life. I had never thought of myself as suicidal, but I needed and wanted
the pain to end.
For years I had pain and soreness in one hip joint. If touched, it was
very painful. The same leg had 2 large spots that would pain to the
bone. The doctors could not diagnose it, so they said it was in my
head. After being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, they understood. Even
the medications they prescribed did not help. But after being on New Image
Plus and New Image Total, the pain went away. I also had pain in my chest that felt like I
had bronchitis. The doctors said it was Lupus in the bones and it would
not get any better.
I started on Plus for weight loss to reduce the joint pain and did not know
the wonderful side effects I would receive. After one week, I was sleeping
much better. Two weeks later I started New Image Total saturation (1
capsule per each 20 lbs. of body weight for 10 days). About that time, my
allergies and sinuses were worsening. We sold our home because I was
allergic to so many of the materials in it. We moved into a place that
turned out to be even worse. My doctor gave me all the medications he said I
could take for my allergies and would have to be re-tested. Now this is
how the Lord works and most of the time we don't even realize it. On the
day that I was to be retested, one of our employees called in sick, so I had to
cancel my appointment and go into work. Two days later I noticed that I
woke up that morning without a headache or sore throat. by the end of the
week, my allergies were gone. My ears were not popping or
ringing.
The Total and Plus just needed the few extra days to do its job and the
Lord
knew that. Had the employee not called in sick, I would have been retested
and back on allergy shots, and never known the products could help the allergy
and sinus problems. Now, at this point I had noticed the depression was
much better and my pain was not as severe.
I started decreasing my medication for Lupus and
Fibromyalgia. By the
way,
this medication can cause eye and liver damage. I had to have blood
work
every 3 months to see what damage, if any, it had caused. I worked
off of this
medication in March of 1999. I had new blood work in June
after being
off all medications for 3 months. My red blood cell count was
up 2 points.
That does not sound like much, but for a Lupus patient,
that's good. The
pain in my hip and leg has gone and also the pain in my
chest (and the doctor
said I would never get better)
Now I take (3) Plus
and from (2) to (8) Total a day. If I have any joint pain, I can take (3)
Totals and in 15 minutes it's gone. My doctor, known as one of the best
Rheumatologists in the Southeast,asked me what I was doing to have made this
great improvement. I told him that he would not believe it, but it was
prayer and herbs! then I showed him the pamphlets on the Total and
Plus. He said that since it was all-natural, he did not see how it could
cause any damage. Then he said to
just keep doing whatever I was doing
because it was doing great. He could not believe that I was not on any
medications and could work a full day in our business. After 15 years I no
longer take allergy shots, and no sinus medication. I can't remember the
last time I had a Tylenol for pain. I AM MEDICATION FREE! I
feel better than I have in years and now enjoy life. I thank the Lord each day for my New Image.
