I was curious about the product mentioned and sent an email to get her to tell me about her experience.
[Note - this I added to my website years ago. Received an email from the company to remove it. So I removed the company's name and do not write me to get it.]
Dear Barb,
I've been a bit overwhelmed by the response to my posting about pain relief and it's taken some time to figure out how to answer. First, I'd like to introduce myself and tell you a bit about me. This is basically because one of the letters I received was rude, sarcastic, and distrusting. I realized that the guy has been through the mill with people who have sold him down the river with cures that didn't cure most likely over and over again. I know I have. And every time one of those "cures" didn't cure me, it was somehow my fault.,
Anyway, my name is Lua Fisher and I live with my husband in the mountains of Colorado. We are three miles from the nearest electric or phone lines, live at the end of a dead end, dirt road that is four miles off the highway, and it's as close to wilderness living as you can get, while still being only 30 miles from the city. I have three grown children, they are all married, and each has children, for a total of eight grandchildren.,
I have been diagnosed with hypoglycemia, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, multifacial pain disorder, multiple chemical sensitivities, meniers disease. I used to say that they would pin every fad disease that came along on me to explain away my fatigue, pain and depression. I even had a doctor decide to label me agoraphobic (fear of open places) because I hated to come down out of the mountains into town. A while back I gave up on allopathic medicine. It was only making me more depressed and I refused their psychotropic medications so they didn't have much use for me anyway.,
I came to live full time in the mountains and feel a whole lot better mentally up here than I did down in the pollution. But the pain was still getting consistently worse. Last spring it was so bad that I really didn't even want to be alive, even with a new husband (married in Jan of 2001), grandchildren being born on a regular basis, a family that was supportive and loving - it just wasn't worth the pain.,
Which brings me up to this summer. Right this minute, I'm sitting in a very small sheepherders trailer. My computer is powered with a small generator and I'm getting Internet access with a satellite connection. My computer is networked with my son's who lives across the road, and we share a Satellite Hookup. My husband and I are building a small straw-bale cabin. It is 3/4ths stuccoed on the outside and, hopefully we'll finish this weekend. We did the first 3/4ths two weeks ago. I couldn't help. I managed, with enormous difficulty, to prepare a meal for the six people helping with the project. The only way I managed even that was by preparing all the vegetables for the tacos the day before. I had a friend who showed up to help put the meal on the table, and she did the clean-up alone afterwards while I laid in the hammock, watching my friends do my work for me.,
Today, I am typing this letter early in the morning, and have every expectation of being in there with my husband as he starts mixing new cement. I won't do as much as he will - I still have some residual soreness that feels bad in my right knee, and I'm still getting exhausted very easily, so have to sit down often. But - I am actually planning to hold a trowel in my hand while I scrape stucco cement onto the walls of my house.,
This is a miracle to me. I have tears running down my cheeks as I write this. Because of a very simple addition to my diet, I'm going to be part of this process instead of being an onlooker. I have a friend who showed up on the mountain about a month ago to tell me about yet one more multi-level marketing company she'd gotten involved with. It was about the tenth one in as many years that she'd tried to con me into getting into, and I finally blew my stack at her. I actually shouted - "don't even TELL me about it, Jan - I don't want to hear it. I'm sick of your MLM schemes!- I'm not kidding." I wasn't gentle. It was really very bad of me, because she has a hard enough time communicating with people as it is. She is extremely deaf, has hearing aids in both ears that only help her hear some of the time. But, really - enough is enough, and I was truly sick of hearing about MLM's.,
But, she persevered. She insisted that I look at some pictures. Because I was a little ashamed about yelling at her, I looked. Have you ever known someone with Down's Syndrome? It's a very specific form of birth defect, and is immediately obvious when looking at a Downs person. Well, there were two pictures right next to each other of a little girl with Downs, taken in 1998, and in 2001. The first picture was obviously Downs. The second picture was clearly the same child - but you couldn't tell she had Downs Syndrome. I dropped my mouth open in astonishment. She had been in and out of hospitals from birth with asthma and all kinds of health difficulties. In 2001, she had been completely healthy for a couple of years, was an honor roll student in her school, and was happy, glowing with health - unbelievable.,
So, I had to start reading. Here's what I learned.,
On the outside of our cells, we have glycoconjugates that are the communicators between cells. There can be an unbelievable quantity (I can't remember right now if it's 200,000 or 2 billion) different combinations of various kinds of sugars and proteins (glycoproteins) or sugars and fats (glycolipids) that make up these glycoconjugates. These communicators must have eight Essential Sugars (essential in the same way you hear about Essential Fatty Acids) to form the correct messages. If these sugars are missing, the messages will be incorrect. A cell could be screaming "I'm hungry " and the nutrition could be passing right on by in the blood stream because the rest of the cells see "I'm full" as the message. Or, a cell could be saying "I'm weak, defend me" and instead the body hears "I'm an enemy of the body, destroy me" which is why we have autoimmune diseases where the body starts attacking itself.,
We only get two of these sugars in our diets - glucose and sucrose. The rest can be made from glucose, but it is an exhaustive process, depletes your body's resources, and if you're too weak, it won't happen.,
Well, I read enough to be convinced that I had to try these essential sugars to find out if it would help reduce my pain levels. I still didn't want anything to do with an MLM, so I started looking for another source of glyconutrients. I went to every health food store in two towns and kept hearing the same story - "Oh, yes, I've heard of glyconutrients - it's the newest science and is very important in our bodies.",
But they didn't have the products. So, finally, I gave up, called Jan, and asked her to bring me an application and some products. The application was because as much as I despised MLM's I wasn't about to pay retail prices.,
The company is m-------h, and the eight essential sugars are in their product called Ambrotose. At first, I wanted to take the straight bulk product of just the essential sugars. But, I talked to Jan's upline - who knew a whole lot more about the stuff than Jan did - and she convinced me to try their "Optimal Health Pac" which is four products, each with some ambrotose in them that address other health aspects in our bodies. So, I did.,
I started it on Monday morning - the day after our stucco party. I woke up Tuesday morning and got out of bed. It was astonishing. I twisted and turned. I bent over. I flexed my fingers. I actively looked for pain. It wasn't there.,
I have never experienced anything so overwhelmingly mindboggling in my entire life. And, it's kind of funny as I look back on it (from my ancient history position of two weeks, LOL) but for some reason, I didn't distrust what had happened. I didn't think to myself - oh, it'll come back. Maybe that's part of the reason it didn't.,
Now, I'm not going to try to con anyone into thinking that this 54-year-old body suddenly turned into a 20-year-old super athlete. I'm grossly obese, have some residual pain in my right knee right now, have a bit of stiffness in my neck, and have to rest frequently. But, the miracle that putting these eight essential sugars into my system has done for me cannot be overstated.,
By Friday, I knew I wanted to shout out about this stuff to the world. I kept reading, listening to tapes Jan gave me, and researching online. I learned that there are people in other parts of the world where they can use words like "heal" and "cure" without worrying about the medical junta coming down on them, where people are claiming cures from AIDS with the eight essential sugars. And, people with cancer are claiming the same - and MS, ADHD, Celiac disease - the list is exhaustive!,
But, it isn't only stories. There are more than 20,000 research papers, case studies, and scientific validation for the effects of the essential sugars.,
So, I decided to build an MLM business. Me - who despises anything to do with MLM. But, there's no other way to achieve my newly established goal and mission in life. I, personally, want to be the direct reason for 5,000 people finding relief from pain and illness and I want to be the indirect reason for 100,000 people finding relief from pain and illness.,
Yes, I'm going to make money along the way - and I'm kind of looking forward to that as well, since my illness has had me living in poverty for the past twenty years. But, the passion in my life is to tell people about these eight essential sugars and to get them started on the road to pain relief.,
I've already found two- and one of them in a most surprising place. My brother started on the products yesterday. I didn't know he was in so much pain, until he finally admitted to me that he hurt so bad he could hardly walk up his front steps with an alternating step instead of one-legged. When he saw the changes in me, he decided he had to try it himself. I can hardly wait to see what happens with him.,
Ok, that's my story. I hope you can be helped. I truly do. I understand about Internet hoaxes, and people who have been through the mill and sold a bill of goods just to line the pocketbooks of those who don't care who they hurt as long as they make a buck.,
And, I agree about being super cautious when being approached by someone online. I have a cell phone that I can use to call anywhere in the continental United States for free after 8 p.m. mountain time, and on weekends. I'd be happy to call you and talk to you in person if you'd like. I know I'd be more comfortable by having a one-on-one conversation rather than communicating only through letters. So, if you'd like me to call and talk to you, send me your number and a good time to call during those times. My number is---------, but it's not likely you'd get more than my message machine if you call me. I have to drive about a mile down the road to get to the point where our cell phones work around the mountain, so mostly I receive messages and then make calls.,
I gave you the name of the company and the product for one specific reason. If you want to contact the company, you'll be able to, without having anything to do with me. I'd like to do business with you, but I don't want you feeling like you got conned into something. So, you're free to go either direction - with me or without me.,
