Saving my Sister

Posted By Twyla on March 13, 2008 @ 10:59 am

When my sister was diagnosed with cancer last year, she decided that she was going to try and fight it with diet and vitamin intake rather than with chemicals and drugs. A friend of hers gave her a bottle of liquid vitamins and now, cancer free, she swears by them.

The vitamins are from GBG and it is a mixture of many different vitamins. She is probably the company’s biggest promoter now, and I must say that I am a fan as well, because they played a part in me still having my sister around. I can’t say anything bad about them because of it.

I guess if there was anything negative to say about them is that it is sold through MLM companies. I am not a big fan of this, but when it is a product that I can totally stand behind and be able to give real accounts of how great it is, I figure I may as well share the news with the world. Everyone has been affected by cancer and so this product is for everyone.




Helping Others Feel Well

Posted By Twyla on March 7, 2008 @ 1:13 pm

I was recently introduced to ion detox footbaths. I found them to be quite amazing and wanted to know more about them. I did a lot of research on them, as well as talking to a few people around here that know more about them. I drank in all the information and I knew it was something that I could really get into.

I decided that I wanted more ion detox training advice. I figured that I could use this to help other people. It is something that I really believe in and something that I would like to share with the world. There are so many people who have never heard of this and I think everyone should have the chance to know about it.

I have felt so much better since getting involved with this cause. I am both physically and emotionally much more fit than I was before I had heard about this. I feel better about myself and I want to be able to share this experience. This is why I am learning so much about it.




Getting Rid of Arthritis Pain

Posted By Admin on March 5, 2008 @ 12:30 pm

For a number of years now, I have had a few members of my family that have suffered from Arthritis.  I have seen them suffer through excruciating pain, and I just don’t like it.  It makes me sad that I may suffer the same fate as them.

In fact, I think I am starting to show the beginning signs of having Arthritis - and that sucks.  I have talked to my doctor about it, and he has suggested that I take drugs for the pain.  Though I am not big on taking pills, in this instance, I know that I should be taking them.

So, I have started taking Motrin generic pills to relieve some of the pain that I am experiencing.  Thankfully, it is a low dose, but it enough to remove the distraction of being in pain all the time.  I am able to play with my children a little more.  I want them to remember the times they had playing with their father and if that means I need to take painkillers, so be it.




Protecting Our Finances

Posted By Twyla on March 4, 2008 @ 10:15 am

I have just currently purchased individual medical insurance. My husband has family coverage through work, but I have recently been diagnosed as a diabetic and I knew that we would end up needing more coverage than we have. So, I thought I would look into buying just for myself.

I ended up choosing a package that also included accident health insurance. It was not all that much more money and I thought this would protect me should something happen to me while I was away from home. I feel so much better knowing that our finances will not be drained should something happen.

As an added bonus, the company threw in individual vision insurance plans as well. I know that vision can become a big problem for a lot of diabetics. I currently have perfect vision, but who knows what will happen down the road from here. I am covered in all ways and that is security.




It Worked For Me

Posted By Twyla on December 26, 2007 @ 11:55 am

I take Biotek Ephedrine to control my asthma symptoms. It has worked well for me and I love that I don’t have to see the doctor for prescriptions every time I need to replenish my medications. I am pleased with the results I get with the over-the-counter drug that I use.

I first heard about Ephedrine for asthma from a friend last spring. She had been using it for awhile and she said it was more under control than it ever was when she was on daily doses of prescription medication.

I decided that I needed to buy Ephedrine and try it out to see if it would work as well for me. I occasionally still need to use my Ventolin, but am not on anything else. I would recommend that anyone try it for their asthma. They should, though, always talk to their doctor first, and make sure he thinks it is okay for them to try.




Thankful for Medicare

Posted By Admin on December 23, 2007 @ 9:18 pm

My mother was recently diagnosed with Diabetes.  Since she is retired, she lives on a low fixed income.  Now, what concerns me the most is whether or not the amount of money she receives each month will be enough to cover her medical needs with her new disease.

If you look at some of the pamphlets in the doctor’s office, it sure is scary.  Most of them suggest that the average person with Diabetes needs at least $13,000 per year be able to afford the necessary equipment and drugs to control the disease.  That would be over half her income - which is not good.

I was reading through a brochure there and found out that her Medicare Part B coverage will help with some of the expenses, but it won’t be enough.  We will have to find some sort of Medicare supplement that will pay for the rest of her bills - it won’t take long for her to use her savings up based on the amount of money she will be spending.

It was really nice that the doctor was able to give her a free diabetes testing kit to start out, it is one thing that she won’t have to buy.  I am so thankful that she has medicare coverage - if she didn’t I don’t know what we would do.




Relief for Flat Feet

Posted By Admin on @ 1:28 pm

My wife has had flat feet for the whole time I have known here (okay, they have been flat her whole life..) and she has had terrible luck finding shoes.  The biggest problem for her is that the arches in the shoes hurt her feet because of her lack of arches (flat feet).  Sure, we could buy specialty shoes, but that would really not fit our budget.

One day while out shopping, we passed a Croc shoes store.  We talked to the clerk about our problem and she told us that Crocs were perfect for people with flat feet.  My wife decided to try a pair on to see it for herself.  I knew the moment that she stood up with a smile on her face that we had found the right shoes for her.  We purchased some all terrain Crocs and went home to try them out.

Now, a few weeks later, my wife is happier than ever.  We can go out for long walks without her having any foot pain.  She enjoys leaving her house and her freedom from foot pain.




Happy Customers

Posted By Twyla on December 17, 2007 @ 9:45 pm

I own a small pharmacy in a small town and I have recently started purchasing my stock online. We specialize in antidepressants, as the clinic in our town specializes in mental health and we get a lot of out of town patients. I like to keep stock on hand, giving them the opportunity to purchase from me, at a lower price rather than take their prescriptions back into the city.

I started by only purchasing Zoloft online, as it seems to be the drug of choice prescribed by the local doctor. This seemed to be going well, so I thought I would look into expanding and purchasing other drugs this way, as well.

I started ordering generic Paxil, as this would be much less costly to the patient and was easy to order and have in stock. I was happy with the service I was receiving with this particular company, so I thought I would try some more.

The last thing I did was buy Prozac from them. I was again happy with the service and my customers were really happy with the prices I was offering them. I decided from now on that I would order everything through them.




Natural Is Not Always Good

Posted By Twyla on December 10, 2007 @ 12:28 pm

My daughter, Krista, spent a couple of weeks this summer with her friend in another state. When she came home, she could not stop talking about Vilantae, a natural treatment used for treating acne. She was convinced that she was more beautiful than ever and kept reminding me that her skin was now perfect. She wanted me to get her some right away.

I decided that since it was natural it couldn’t hurt anything. After all, it was made from Vitamin B5, and me, not being very knowledgeable on that subject thought there was no such thing as too much vitamins. Boy, was I wrong.

Within nine days of her “treatment” we were in the emergency room. She had developed chronic diarrhea and severe stomach cramps. We thought that she must have had the flu, so I took her in. I was shocked to find out that it was a known side effect of her acne treatment alternative. I am sure I will not be so blind next time. I will definitely look into things before I let my children take anything, natural or not.




Mangosteen Juice

Posted By Twyla on @ 12:06 pm

I recently got involved in a multi-level marketing venture, selling Mangosteen Juice. I am actually a quite skeptical person and am not easily involved with things like this, but this is a product that I really believe in.

A year ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and, rather than going through chemical treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, I decided to try and fight the disease in a natural way. I say an herbologist and he suggested that I be eating mangosteens. As they are hard to find, I decided on purchasing the bottles of undiluted, unconcentrated juice.

For the past three months I have had a clean bill of health and I feel that I owe it all to the Mangosteen. I really do feel that is what cured me. So, I did get involved in selling it because I believe that I was given a second chance and I owe it to others to share my story and give them the same chance that I was given.
