Thank you, Joanne...would love to talk with you 'off Mercola'.  My email is [email protected].  I admire how your brain works!

Hi.  I wanted to very briefly give you some background on me that lead me to my passion of education on the relationship between nutrition and disease.  In 2003, I donated a kidney anonymously.  Since it was anonymous, for liability reasons, I went through 8 months of extensive medical tests, head to toe, some very invasive, to make sure I was in tip-top shape to donate.

I passed with flying colors.  Less than 4 years after donating, I found myself in bed, riddled with pain, on chemo pills, and severe Rheumatoid Arthritis.  How?  Because disease takes years and years to rear its ugly head with symptoms in our bodies, and early stages fly below the radar of medical testing.

I  was young (wil be 53 years old this year) for being bed-ridden.  I had every well-intentioned friend trying to get me to try all sorts of products.  Being the daughter of a doctor, I knew what Gold Standard Research was.  Independent, double-blind placebo controlled, peer-reviewed...the most stringent research out there.  It cannot be bought.  None of the products suggested to me had that.  Until I was introduced to JuicePlus.  I'm getting to the 'sugar' comment in fruits...

JuicePlus (Orchard, Garden, & Vineyard Blends) is over 25 fruits, vegetables, berries, and grapes that have been grown in optimal growing conditions all over the world...depending, of course, on where that particular fruit/veg grows best.  The 'key' is that everything is grown to vine-ripeness before being picked, ensuring that optimal nutrition is in each piece.

The fruit and veg are then juiced...THE SUGAR, SODIUM, AND BULK REMOVED...making JP excellent for diabetics, individuals with cardiovascular issues, and intestinal challenges.  EXCELLENT.  Then it is dried at a very low temperature to retain the nutrients, and live enzymes are added back in.  Every batch is tested NOT ONLY for herbicides and pesticides, but for mold, mildew, and a host of other contaminants.  Sometimes people 'think' they have a food allergy, but it turns out they were allergic to whatever the piece of produce was  exposed to in the growing process.

JuicePlus has a FOOD LABEL...not a supplement label.  So, it's not taxed in states like TX, FL, IL, and CA that don't pay tax on their groceries.  (Here in Missouri, we unfortunately pay tax on our groceries.)

Sugar suppresses the immune system for up to 6 hours.  So anyone with a compromised immune system (there are now over 80 auto immune disorders) needs to steer clear of sugar, and any of the 'white' foods (flour, rice, potatoes, etc.), because these are processed as sugar in our bodies. The key to 'everything' in life is ... moderation.  Sugar, by the way, also 'feeds' cancer cells, and I think we all know now that we are 'all' born with cancer cells.  

The specific fruits, veg, berries, grapes that were chosen to be in JP were chosen for their specific benefits to the body.  How they work alone, and how they work with the other produce in JP.

If you have a history of cancer in your family, you want to be very careful with what you put in your body that feeds those cells.

Epigenetics (study of our genes, and highlighted on the cover of TIME Magazine last year), proves that YES...we inherit good and bad genes.  BUT...through proper nutrition and lifestyle choices, we have the power to turn 'off' those bad genes.  I have a family member with MS...another autoimmune.  We make different choices in our lives.  I have turned 'off' my Rheumatoid Arthritis gene...as well as my high cholesterol (off my Lipitor)...my IBS is gone (for which I was on two prescriptions)...and I am off of years of antidepressants.  I feel fabulous!

Back to the importance of Gold Standard Research.  JuicePlus (to date) has 18 published research studies....6 more completed and in the publication process...and many on-going studies.  Who researches JP?  Yale, Georgetown, MD Anderson (top cancer institution), Wakeforest, Brigham Young Univ, Vanderbilt Univ...and a host of other extremely prestigious medical centers and universities around the world.  The research is done ON JuicePlus, 'the product'.

Where are the studies published?  Very credible journals such as JAMA (Journal of American Medical Assoc.), JACC (Journal of American College of Cardiology), Journal of Sports Science & Medicine...and more.

There is NOT ONE prescription, over-the-counter med, or product out there that can claim what research PROVES when someone puts JuicePlus into their body every single day.  NOT ONE.  They can 'claim', but they cannot prove with Gold Standard Research.  Ask for their Gold Standard Research.

I will close with what research PROVES will happen inside everyone's body that takes JuicePlus daily.....Oh...the cost?  Ha.....that's the best part....less than the price of a few pieces of fruit every day.   NO BRAINER.

*JuicePlus delivers key antioxidants and other phytonutrients that are absorbed into the body (my note: bioavailability...gets in your body and goes to work!)

*JuicePlus reduces oxidative stress.

*JuicePlus positively impacts markers of systemic inflammation. (my note:  systemic inflammation is at the base of every major illness and disease...this study alone is huge.)

*JuicePlus helps support a healthy immune system (my note: brings it back into balance)

*JuicePlus helps protect DNA.

*JuicePlus positively impacts several key indicators in cardiovascular wellness.

I'm living proof of all of the above....But DON'T take my 'claim'.  Get your own blood panel done before taking JuicePlus, easy to swallow capsules (chewables for kids).  Take it every day for 4-6 months and go get a panel done again.  The proof is in the pudding.

And yes, I am an independent distributor.  How could I not be?  I know too much...It is my honor to share the hope of health with everyone who has a heartbeat.  

Hi Jamdenison,

The device for snoring can easily be ordered on line at www.liptrainerguru.com.  I ordered my on line and received it within a week or so. It worked wonders and addresses the root cause of many health problems, not just snoring.  I just wonder why it is taking so long for the medical specialists to know about this.

Cheers!

Regards
