FIBROMYALGIA…My Story
I was in a car accident and had major whiplash. I spent 3 years of my life suffering from a disease call Fibromyalgia. It was very painful, mainly in my neck, shoulders and back along with severe headaches. I was put on all kinds of medications such as muscle relaxers, painkillers and tranquilizers that lead to anti-depressants and 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

First a little bit about myself. My name is Cindy Albright from
Looking back I believe the cause and start of the firbro and D.J.D. was an auto accident that I was in back in April of 1977. I was 7 months pregnant with our son (yes he is fine), when a drunk driver wanting to commit suicide pulled out in front of me. It could have been worse and thankfully everyone survived. I had some lacerations, deep tissue injury and a broken jaw, which required surgery. I made it through these things over some time. The years go by and life hands you little or big roads blocks (stress), you deal the best you can with these 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't know what he was talking about because everybody who went to him seemed to be diagnosed with fibro. I dismissed 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 and deep tissue injury along with three cracked ribs. I didn't seem to recover as well with this accident. The aches and pain persisted with very little relief in between. Shortly after this my left hip started to bother me a lot. If you aren't sure what true joint hip pain is, it is actually in the groin area. I was also bothered by tendonitis in both elbows, 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 doctor’s 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 hip replaced (avoid this at all costs). In April of 2004 we went to
Then in July of 2004 my prayers were answered. Several years ago while still working in the health field I got my insurance license and mortgage license. My name was on a list of loan originators and I received a call from someone who I thought wanted me to sell mortgages for him. I was in so much pain but yet I agreed to talk with him. (In the back of my mind I knew I needed to make some money but I also knew there was no way possible that I could work). He came over to talk with my husband and me. He actually was a Market America Independent distributor. I only misunderstood him because of the pain and drugs I was on. I am so glad I had said I would speak with him. He could see how much pain I was in and told us about OPC-3 and the great results his wife had with her allergies from it. I thought, oh great, more supplements. I thought I had tried everything 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 smug remark. BUT IT WORKED!!!!
Four and one-half weeks after taking just the OPC-3 I was experiencing great relief. I threw away one cane and then the other. I couldn't believe the results. I was sleeping better, I hardly had any pain, I stopped taking almost all my prescription medication and I knew I was getting my life back. With my doctors help I managed to get off all of my medication.
OPC-3 has drastically changed my life for the better. All my blood tests are within normal range, my last pulmonary function tests found no trace of emphysema, and the degenerative joint disease in my right knee is all but 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.

When I was 12 years old, I began to have problems when I ate fruit. My mouth and lips would swell and my throat would itch. The same symptoms would occur when I would eat fresh vegetables. While working in our family’s garden weeding or picking vegetables, especially tomatoes, my arms would swell wherever I came in contact with the plants.
I adjusted my life accordingly. I stopped eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Many parts of life, however, could not be adjusted. I grew up on a farm and would suffer greatly from spring to fall. I had problems breathing. My eyes itched constantly, waking up many mornings with my eyes almost swollen shut. The doctor gave me an occasional booster shot but was concerned about stunting my growth.
I survived childhood, but my problems continued. I am highly allergic to animals – cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. -- anything with fur. I carried a powder inhaler with me to open up my bronchial tubes when I was unable to breath, which was often.
When I was 34 years old, I finally visited an allergist. Two minutes after putting the allergens on my back, the nurse wiped it all off. She said my entire back looked like one giant mosquito bite. Out of the 80 some scratch tests, I did NOT react to 3 of them. My allergist stated that I was the worst case he had seen in his 20 years of practice. He prescribed an EPI-pen and told me not to EVER be without it. If I couldn’t breath, I was to inject this EPI-pen into my leg and get to a hospital as soon as possible.
I received allergy shots for 5 years. Many times, I could not handle even the smallest level of allergens injected. My arms would swell from my shoulders to below my elbows. (I received 2 injections in each arm.) After 5 years and no significant improvements, I stopped the injections.
A friend of mine had mentioned OPC-3 to me a number of times. I’m a fairly stubborn person and was convinced, at this point, that nothing would help me. I finally gave in after a year or so and tried OPC-3. After 2 weeks on the loading dose, I realized that I wasn’t experiencing ANY allergy symptoms – and this was in the spring of the year.
I’ve gone through an entire allergy season without any symptoms -- This fall being one of the worst on record. I enjoy golfing but have never been able to get through a round without Claritin or some other medication. This year, I’ve been golfing without any breathing or sneezing problems. I’ve started eating fresh fruits and vegetables again. I can take walks with my husband and son around dusk while neighbors are cutting their lawns. Every day I am amazed at the changes that have occurred because of OPC-3. I will never, ever be without this product again.
Since ORAC was introduced, I take 2 caps of OPC-3 and 2 caps of ORAC each day. The ORAC seems to help me more with respiratory problems while the OPC-3 takes care of everything else.

I had the thinning hair problem. I can't tell you what caused it but once I started B12 it stopped thinning and started filling in again. When I started the B12 I was taking aloe, digestive enzymes and OPC-3 daily. I don't know if it was the B12 or a combination of the products. After the research I've been doing with the products, I do believe my hair started thinning when my digestion problems began. Once I had those under control and added the B12 I started to notice the changes! Hope this helps!

My grandson was born with torticollis and had chronic ear infections.
It was terrible. He screamed constantly. My daughter and her husband
almost went insane. After numerous trips to the doctor and having his
little system messed up with antibiotics (and antibiotics do NOT cure
ear infections) the doctor suggested acid reflux medication even thought
he probably did not have acid reflux and physical therapy. The
torticollis continued to get worse to the point of his skull becoming
more and more misshaped. I was able to convince my daughter to try
something else. My suggestion: Take the child to a pediatric
Chiropractor AND follow Debbie Waldec's Health Protocol. Continue with
Mitamins, Aloe and OPC-3. My grandson is 2 ½ and has not had any
problems since we began this regimen...when he was 4 months old! Not
even a cold.

Amyelotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), aka Lou Gehrig's disease
Amyelotrophic lateral sclerosis (or Lou Gehrig's disease, a motor neuron disease) appears to have an autoimmune component associated with it. Whenever the immune system is involved (particularly the phagocytic cells such as macrophages and granulocytes), there are usually oxygen radicals being produced at the affected site. In order to protect the nervous system from oxidative damage, you need to be able to get antioxidants across the extensive membranes of nerve cells into the cytoplasm or have the antioxidants dissolve into the lipid bilayer; that is, some antioxidants (vitamin C, proanthocyanidins) are particularly water soluble while others (vitamin E, beta-carotene [vitamin A
> precursor], co-enzyme Q10) are fat soluble. Since proanthocyanidins can cross the blood-brain barrier, we can surmise that they have at least some lipophilic properties.
Vitamin C is a difficult molecule to get to diffuse across the barrier; however, recent studies have shown that an oxidized metabolite of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) called dehydroascorbic acid can penetrate the blood-brain barrier in significant concentrations. Dehydroascorbate is derived during the oxidation of normal vitamin C, so the only way I see to achieve elevated blood concentrations of dehydroascorbate is to take large, but safe, doses of vitamin C (500-1000 mg/day).
Once in the nerve cell, the regenerated (reduced) vitamin C molecule can help to maintain the vitamin E in an unoxidized state in the membranes. The nerve cells have extensive membranes that wrap around the cell body numerous times, so it is beneficial to keep plenty of vitamin E dissolved in the membranes. It is thought that co-enzyme Q10 can help vitamin E insert itself into the cell membranes, and of course co-enzyme Q10 is a critical constituent of mitochondrial membranes and helps to shuttle electrons for energy production. Like vitamin E, it too should help protect against lipid When I got in the MA business, I went to him and showed him our line and I told him "Gary, I would like for you to try our vitamins and explained the delivery system and I told him,"you know and I know there is no cure for this disease, but I look up daily this disease, and if I do my part to help, you could do your part and at least try, all I can offer you is hope.
I started him off on OPC-3 and after the first 3 days they were so excited how easy his bowels moved on their own. (His wife had been giving him suppositories plus having to dig his bowels out, She said things we just take for granite in life like bm's they get excited about.) I know this may sound awful to some of you, but my whole point is we really take our health for granite sometimes till we lose it, but this precious cousin of mine is really trying.
Woman Says Natural Supplement Ended 30 Years of Pain
Studies show nearly half of you don't think natural supplements are worth buying. The Food and Drug Administration doesn't even regulate them. But a Southern Tier woman who could barely walk because of intense knee pain decided to give supplements a try. The woman says she's now pain-free for the first time in 30 years.
"I was in so much pain, took so many drugs, (and) I'd get up in the morning, take a shower, and fall asleep drinking my coffee," said Belva Felker, 49, of Corning. Felker has lupus. That means for 30 years, her immune system's been attacking her body's tissues. The disease has nearly destroyed her joints and has caused extreme fatigue. "I was on 13 different drugs for lupus."
Today, she's on none. Instead, she's taking a natural antioxidant supplement called Isotonix OPC-3. It's supposed to improve your circulation and fix your cells that oxygen has damaged.
Felker says she never knew what a "leisurely" stroll was because she was in so much pain. But she says only 3 days after taking the antioxidant, she noticed a big difference. "I noticed right away I could walk up the steps, you know, normally."
Debra Coggins is a wellness consultant who sells the product. She says the supplement brought back a kind of fluid to Flecker's knee. "(It's) kind of like greasing a joint on the axle or something... It reduced the inflammation and it got all the blood flowing properly."
Coggins says there are no risks or negative side effects. The powdery antioxidant is made up all natural stuff - like pine bark, and wine and grape-seed extracts. "It's the most powerful antioxidant in the world," Coggins claimed.
Felker wasn't always convinced a supplement could work. "I'm very skeptical." So when her pain started going away, "I thought it's probably something else. So I quit taking the product, then the pain came back."
Doctors say natural supplements won't cure you or prevent a disease. But Flecker's sold on it."I do not take any prescription drugs at the moment."
It won't hurt to ask your doctor before taking supplements. They're not known to react with medications, but doctors prefer that you check in with them first.
You don't have to feel sick or have a disease to take supplements. In fact, many healthy people take them to make sure they're getting all the nutrients they need. Supplements can also supply amounts of nutrients larger than the diet can provide. Larger amounts of some nutrients may help to protect against future disease.
So what can you get from a supplement? A group of experts in Sacramento, California - who are trained in both conventional and alternative medicines - have come up with a "Top 10 List:"
1. Omega-3 fatty acids: they're important for healthy heart, nerves, blood vessels, skin and hair-and they reduce inflammation anywhere in the body.
2. Ginkgo biloba: It's one of the world's most popular herbal products. Known as the "smart herb," ginkgo enhances blood circulation and increases the supply of oxygen to the heart, brain and other body parts.
3. Saw palmetto: This one's mostly for men who have to urinate a bunch of times at night or who notice that their "flow" is weaker than it used to be.
4. Black cohosh: Ladies, it's your turn. This can alleviate hot flashes and night sweats.
5. St. John's wort/Tryptophan: May treat mild to moderate depression.
6. Echinacea: Known for its ability to boost the immune system; strong ally during cold and flu season.
7. Glucosamine sulfate: Commonly used by osteoarthritis sufferers seeking pain relief; better tolerated than anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen.
8. Coenzyme Q10: A powerful antioxidant that helps to maintain a healthy heart and healthy cholesterol levels and boosts cellular energy.
9. Feverfew: Migraine sufferers may find relief from this herb.
10. Garlic: It's one of the most health-promoting of all the herbs; it's used to kill bacteria and viruses, boosting the immune system, lowering blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, treating fungal infections, and aiding circulation and digestion.
My husband suffers from this problem. He tends to go through cycles of
avoiding wheat (his biggest grain problem) and then eating it again.
His celiac manifests not only in digestive problems, but in depression
first.
For him Aloe and digestive enz are great when he is eatting wheat and
being bothered digestively. When he stops eating wheat again we always
do a NutriClean cleanse, which makes him feel so much better in just a
week. For the depression I cannot usually get him to take many of our
products; Multi-tech, B-12 complex and Omegas have been extremely
helpful. But the main thing is to avoid the grains that set it off.
Celiac in relation to grains is like a diabetic with sugar. Although
our products help to control symtoms and problems, the real solution is
through diet. If you need some help with alternatives that support the
diet let me know.

about my illness and have always known that God had a reason for choosing me to have MS - if only to make me a bigger person and perhaps to help inspire someone else who is suffering the same illness.
In 1998, I did stop working and over the next one to two years improved so that I used my cane only occasionally. My legs were still very stiff from spasticity and my balance was still very bad. At that time, I was taking approximately twelve to fourteen different prescription drugs, including Betaseron injections (approved by the FDA in 1995). In May of 2000, I attended a "ladies-night-out" at our local YMCA. It was there that I was introduced to the Health & Nutrition products of Market
My husband Mike had shingles - is just getting over it in fact. He took extra OPC and Aloe - 5 or 6 doses a day of each (plus everything else he usually takes). He only felt sick for a couple of days and had very little pain (I understand shingles is very painful), and now - about 3 weeks later is just fine.
He felt so well, in fact, that I had to keep reminding him that he was contagious so he wouldn't spread the virus around. He had one HUGE spot on his neck - about 1" diameter where several blisters merged to make one big pock - then it made one big scab. When the scab fell off, the hole looked terrible - still about 3/4" diameter and about 1/4" deep. He started putting Triple Serum on it several times a day - for the last week or so - and the scar is getting smaller every day. It is only about 1/4" diameter now. He did - however - give the chickenpox to our 14-year-old son :-( Now we're doing the same regimen with him.

I experienced the 'singles' in Feb about the same time as David Letterman. He was away from the show for a month or more. I was taking 1 dose of OPC-3, Calcium, & Multi-tech prior to the bout with 'shingles'. When
I realized (over a week-end) what I was involved with, I immediately upped my OPC-3 to 6 doses & doubled the others. When the Dr saw me, she said a classic case, prescribed an antibiotic & pain reliever. I did take
the antibiotic for the 1 week. At 2 weeks the 'shingles' were nearly gone. And I thank M/A products for that! Dennis did share my testimony on ATG in the spring. Carol Holliday
I have been a dog groomer for 37 years. I have a tremendous amount of knowledge about dog and cat’s coats and their overall health. When I was first told about Pet Health, I looked at it like other products I have heard about that were supposed to be phenomenal for pet’s health. I had a very skeptic attitude, as I had never seen a product do what it said it would do.
When the woman came to pick her up I said I’ve heard good things about this product. I do not know, but it is worth a shot. So she bought it since it was only $23 with tax included [90 servings]. She called me 4 days later. The dog had put weight on, had an alertness in her eyes and was attempting to run which she had not done in 5 years. She regained her weight, her face filled out, her eyesight improved and she enjoyed another almost 8 months of life due solely to the Pet Health. Her kidneys finally failed and she died two weeks ago.
I would recommend Pet Health for any dog from the age of 6 weeks to extremely old. It is going to help the dog’s health and well being and extend their life.

I personally have 5 small rescued dogs. One of them was very sick when I first got her and the vet wanted to put her down. I changed her diet and included the Pet Health and she is now my healthiest dog! All the dogs love the OPC3 for pets and they lick the stuff off the top so I have to mix it in very good. Their coats are shiny and healthy and they are all older dogs and there is no stiffness going on and they run and play like pups. They were not nearly this active before Pet Health.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
We started regular daily use of Pet Health after he finished his meds 1 week after surgery. After slowly going from cage to room to house – we were ready to let him out again after 6 weeks. He had great mobility and strength. We took him to the vet for their evaluation. They were truly amazed at his strength and mobility as well. She still did not want us to let him out - but if you knew Gustavo – you can’t keep him in. So – we let him back out to rule the neighborhood. That was last October 05! He has been amazing ever since – no limping – still dominates all other cats/wildlife etc. We have kept him on a ½ scoop of Pet Health ever since!!!!

My elderly neighbor struggled through one winter with a cat that suffered from horrible congestion, coughing, wheezing and sneezing. I internet researched for him and thought it to be herpes virus. The vets treated the cat with several different antibiotics at expense of about
$700-800 and with great difficulty putting meds down its throat. It was such a hassle and so expensive he thought he'd have to put the cat to sleep, though he hated to.

Six months ago one of my customers brought her Elkhound in for a grooming. She has cancer and was not far from dying. The vet said three weeks. We put her on Pet Health double dose. That was six months ago. In five days she was up and trying to run around. She would lose control of her back legs and fall, but she kept working at it. She has put on weight and her eyes have lost that glassy look. I just saw her yesterday and she is looking perky. I have been grooming dogs for 36 years, so I have a little knowledge in this area.
My neighbors have a 13 year old teacup poodle - Jacques. This little guy weighs 7lbs. ( he is overweight!) Jacques has emphysema. His original owner smoked constantly and of course this little guy inhaled it all. Well, one year ago they had to carry him up and down the stairs everytime he went out. He takes a heart pill and a water pill twice a day. I convinced them to give him Pet Health. Well, you would never believe this little guy now. First, he loves the taste. He now runs up and down the stairs, and runs and plays like a puppy. People are floored when you tell them this little guy is 13. He still has to take his pills, but Jacques is going to die of old age in his sleep and from nothing else. His vet and his groomer cannot get over the difference in this loveable guy. I just wish every pet owner would give Pet Health to their animals.

My dog was diagnosed with Lyme's Disease in August, 2005. He was limping all the time and lethargic. I put him on OPC3 for pets. He doesn't limp anymore and has so dang much energy! Judith Savarese New Jersey ......................................
One of my friends has a kitty that went into renal failure .My friend took her cat to the vet who basically said "Well, we can make her comfortable and then when it gets too bad we can put her out of her pain. I gave my friend a jar of pet health and said "try it". To make a long story short, kitty loves Pet Health and is running around today acting and looking like a very health kitty.

I had a 13 yr old mixed Australian Shepherd mix. He had tumors growing on his eyes. He was also very slow to move and getting less and less playful. His eyes were also cloudy. I started him on the Pet Health and six weeks later his tumors reduced substantially and his eyes were clear. His energy level and playfulness had picked up quite a bit. He is now 14 and still with us although I know his time may be limited due to his age. I know this product has given him number of months that have been a lot less pain free. He also continues to go on our 3 mile walks. David
On the subject of Attention Deficit Disorder, two of my children have this problem. My adult daughter has always complained about feeling detached and like she has a lot of difficulty staying focused on what people are saying – also remembering things. When she started taking OPC-3™, she was amazed. She says that the cloud lifted from her brain and she felt like she could think clearly for the first time. My son, who is now 14 years old, has always had learning problems, difficulty paying attention, difficulty following directions, lost his temper very easily, and while he isn’t a classic hyperactive type, he does have some unusual behavior patterns. When we found out that OPC-3™ could help with this, we immediately had him start taking it. Before OPC-3™, he had made little progress in his school work for the entire year before, and we weren’t sure what to do with him. In the year after he started taking OPC-3™, he advanced five grade levels in his reading skills, and two grade levels in math. He says that OPC-3™ helps him think, and concentration is much easier. He also calmed down some and is in much better control of the rages that he used to have. Another nice little side benefit; he used to get every virus that came along – it seemed that he was always sick. As soon as he started on OPC-3™, he was the healthiest one in the house, and with six children, that’s saying a lot.

We have a son that was taking 20 mg of Ritalin a day, and that was barely getting him through the day. We took him off Ritalin all together and he takes 2 capfuls of OPC-3™ in the morning, about 15 minutes before he eats, and that gets him through the whole school day. There really is no set dose that will work on everyone, they all seem to react just a little differently. You will have to try a dosage and see how it works. We tried it on a non-school day so we could see his behavior, and we got it on the first shot.
Charles and Denise
My son was diagnosed with ADD in 6th grade. He was put on Ritalin and had been on it for almost a year. He too started having the Ritalin side effects after about 8 months on meds, including mood swings when the meds wore off. A friend told me about OPC-3™. I started him on it but didn’t notice a difference until about 2½ to 3 months in. Then I dropped his morning dose of Ritalin. No one at school noticed a difference without his meds. We noticed a difference in mood. When school ended last year, I stopped all meds, & replaced them with: 2 caps of OPC-3™ & 1 cap B-12
After a recent seminar by a doctor, I’ve added 1 cap of Calcium daily (mainly for the magnesium) and Vitamin C.
He is now 13 and is completely off Ritalin. He still complains about drinking his Isotonix®, but he does it out of force of habit. I made sure of it! Kids will fight anything new. Don’t let your customer give up because her son doesn’t like the taste. I did start out mixing his Isotonix® with ½ water & ½ apple juice.
Some concerns to share with your customer:
Schools almost make it fun to be on meds at schools – my son got to leave class early to go to the office to get his Ritalin before lunch. Some kids, including my son, thought that was “cool”. I did not want my son entering high school on any medication. It just opens the door to the ease of taking other “drugs” – I know that sounds a bit crazy, but ADD & ADHD kids are much more impulsive/compulsive and therefore more susceptible to addictions (a documented fact).
There are still concerns about long term effects of Ritalin type drugs. I saw side effects within 6-8 months.
I have twins who are 17 and weigh around 95 lbs. They have ADD, and they were put on Rydalin years ago and I didn't like the way the Rydalin made them act so I decided to try the OPC-3™. They take two capfuls a day and are doing great. They will tell anyone that with the OPC-3™ they find they can pay attention more and retain what they are learning. They have also told me that when they read a book it is easier because they can remember what they have read and don't have to read it over and over. I as a parent thank God for OPC-3™. Because of my success with this product I have shared it with many of my friends who have children with the same problem and all are doing great. I also have a customer whose son has ADHD and although he has recently started using the OPC-3™ she has told me there is a difference in him and will continue to use the product. She gave a big hug and thanked me for giving her son back!!! He is 10 and weighs around 80 lbs.

One of my customers has a 4-year-old with ADD and has had tremendous results with OPC-3™ and Calcium Plus. His psychiatrist has been very impressed with the improvement in his temperament and ability to cope with stress and emotions. He has actually been able to stop and think things through rather than “acting-out” all of his feelings. The psychiatrist was very impressed with the results of this non-drug therapy and recommended that his mother continue with what she has been doing. His daycare provider has seen significant changes in his ability to get along with the other children and respecting others’ feelings and rights. I know this isn’t very technical, but every little bit helps. He has only been on the product for a month.
Shila Fisher
My sister's son had a severe case of ADHD and was on prescription meds for three years and the problem worsened. She started intense research into the natural alternatives and she removed all sugar products from Lance's diet and started him on OPC-3™ and Mineral Blast®. He went from a “C” and “D” student to an “A” and “B” student in about 3 months. She was able to wean him completely off the meds that he was on in 6 months. I would suggest your friend try 2 caps of OPC-3™ and 1 cap of Mineral Blast® and see what happens. Also the sugar needs to be removed from his diet. Strangely enough, my nephew can now eat some sugar without feeling the consequences, but he stayed off sugar for about 8 months.

I am writing to share my experience with Isotonix® B-12 and OPC-3™.
My son, who is eight years old has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder) and he is also an Asthmatic. He was taking 60 mg of Rydalin per day for ADHD and varied medicines as needed for his Asthma condition. It is difficult enough for me to take daily medication, but to have to give it to my 8 year old was frustrating. Our life was coordinated around medications. Our school and after school program had to keep up with the demands of one child’s meds. By the end of May, daily trips to school and calls from the after school program, due to my son’s behavior, had pretty much dictated an increase in his medication again.
I had heard of the positive effects of B-12 and OPC-3™ through my sponsor Mike Homer. I hoped this would be the answer to my prayers. My son is now taking B-12 and OPC-3™ on a daily basis and his Rydalin has been cut in HALF! His grades have improved 100% and I have not received one phone call from his teacher this school year. And as a bonus, he has not had a severe Asthma attack since he started on the Isotonix®. Considering he has had 6 hospital stays in the last 3 years due to Asthma, I would say this is as close to a 100% success rate as one can hope for.

My son started on product when he was 11 years old and starting 5 grade. He was diagnosed with ADD and auditory processing disorder. He had been on Ritalin since 2nd grade after trying Bio-Feedback Treatments and allergy testing. He weighed 60 pounds for 2 years and in 4th grade claimed he had NO FRIENDS! A friend introduced me to the products, so I started him on B-12 and Multi Tech (no children’s back then). I was a little nervous about OPC-3™, my husband was a pharmacist and never heard of it. After watching the video and getting into the business, we started him on one dose of OPC-3™ in the evening and took his evening dose of Ritalin away. In the first couple of weeks the first things I noticed was he remembered his teachers name. Previously it would take 2-3 months for that to occur. Also, he became more organized in his room. Actually sorting his toys instead of dumping them into one box. He also gained 20 pounds as well as having friends in his classroom. (He still has some as friends to this day. He just turned 18 a couple of weeks ago.) He was on it for about 6 months before I noticed at one of my other son's events that he was actually sitting still in a chair!! I knew then that it was really working!
