"Little Talked About Health Secret that
Almost Killed My Husband"
Discover How the Food Industry and Modern Medicine are Fooling You and what you can do about it
MY WORST NIGHTMARE
I married my dream guy and like everyone else we planned to live happily and healthy for the rest of our lives – complete with a white picket fence.
Sometimes things don’t always work out the way you plan.
I remember the day very clearly. It’s hard to forget the pain.
It all happened so fast.
We were having some real hot weather here at Brush Prairie. My husband and I decided to do some work fixing up our organic garden.
Nothing else was unusual about our day.
After he finished showering he began noticing swelling in his ankles.
Heck, we figured it was probably due to the heat and being on his feet for so long. We decided to rest and spend the rest of the day sipping lemonade with his feet up.
By the next morning the swelling didn’t go down. In fact, it had only gotten worse.
By now, we were getting worried. What if it’s more than swelling due to the heat? What could be going on? Thinking it’s better to be safe than sorry we called his doctor and made an appointment.
We went to his doctor and then began the onslaught of all kinds of tests including ultrasounds, MRIs, urine and blood tests.
All the tests were negative. We were relieved but still a bit worried. Didn’t make sense that someone who was so strong and healthy would have this unexplained swelling.
Then the CALL came after yet another urine test. He was spilling protein in his urine.
I felt like I got hit by a truck.
That was our wake up call...something very serious was happening. As a health professional, I had worked in a unit for serious kidney problems.
I could visualize him hooked up to the machines that clean your blood when your own kidneys can’t.
I was so afraid, I felt sick to my stomach.
Could this really be happening?
You see I was doing everything I knew to be healthy. I had worked at one of our nation’s leading medical schools and we were the picture of great health. We grew our own organic garden, were nonsmokers, exercised and only drank occasionally, usually red wine which is supposed to be good for you.
We were the last people that any of our friends expected this to happen to.
This could not be happening to my husband.
On our second wedding anniversary when most couples are still enjoying newly married bliss, he was fighting for his life. Because his kidneys weren’t able to do their job, he was gaining water weight very quickly.
Things quickly went from bad to worse. He developed an infection. His doctor prescribed an antibiotic that further damaged his kidneys. My husband puffed up almost beyond recognition. Altogether he gained 60 pounds of water.
Because his lungs were filling with water, it was like he was drowning from the inside out! He had to be quickly admitted to the hospital where they could start removing the water with diuretics.
Many of our friends came that night. And little did I know that many of them didn’t think he’d make it through the night!
Ignorance can be fatal!
It’s during times like this that you begin questioning everything you know. I had lots of friends who were trained in alternative health. But, I had been taught that their ways were voodoo and had no science to support it.
Talk about arrogance. Only MD’s and double blind placebo controlled studies were true. At least that was what I had been brainwashed to believe.
Since when does anyone have all the right answers?
The use of the wrong medicine almost killed my husband. No one...not anyone even took responsibility for that mistake! I was the one who did the research and told his doctor that the prescribed antibiotic wasn’t supposed to be used with his kidney problems.
We were told that there were no sure answers. Just accept it and learn to live with it!
Everything inside of me was telling me that there had to be an answer. This is MY husband. How dare they tell us to give up!
They prescribed some of the most toxic drugs with no guarantees and few studies. Yes, they were asking him to be a guinea pig.
That was not going to happen.
Not my husband...that’s just not good enough...
I became obsessed to find answers for what was making my husband so sick. Too many questions were left unanswered by traditional medicine and my nutrition training.
Desperately, I attended alternative nutrition seminars by some of the best teachers in the country. We saw every kind of alternative health expert....acupuncturists, chiropractors, naturopaths....we did it all.
What we learned blew my mind and changed our lives.
It was not our own fault though I couldn’t help but think I should have known better.
We are being lied to by the sickness industry.
Their interest is in keeping you sick rather than healing you. Their motive is not finding cures but treating symptoms and having a life long consumer of a drug or treatment.
The food industry is also a culprit.
The bottom line is always money...so, how much food can big corporate food companies produce at the lowest cost. It is not about how nutritious the food is! This means food is cheap and not very healthy.
Whereas before, when I was in school food was very different from the food we are all eating. Now food comes from half way around the world. It is picked green so it does not rot while making its way to our grocery stores.
Some of it is changed genetically and most of it is treated with chemicals. Europe won’t even touch our food....Japan either! In fact, Japan is standing by watching our next generation for the results of a huge experiment using genetically altered food that has no safety studies.
You see, I was taught as long as you ate lots of fruits and veggies, didn’t eat much fat, exercised, and do not smoke you would be healthy. True back then when the food we ate was real food. Supplements of any kind were a waste of money and not needed.
As an example, to get the same amount of Vitamin A from 2 peaches grown in 1951 you now have to eat 53 commercially grown peaches. I love peaches but I could never eat 53 of them!
Shocking yet true!
Nutrition from our food provides the building blocks for good health. Without adequate nutrition the body cannot repair and restore itself. Stress in many different forms puts even more demands on your body.
It comes from lack of sleep, poor quality food, toxins in the air, drinking water, processed and fast food, drugs and....
To show you how important nutrition is...imagine a house that is subject to stress in the form of heat, cold, wind and rain. Without enough parts for maintenance, the house will begin to fall into disrepair. The same is true for your body.
You see, I studied nutrition because I understood the power it has to create great health in our lives. On the other hand, the lack of it can and is destroying the lives of many people who have been told by a profession that knows very little about it, that it has no value.
Big fat lie!
Supplementation, today, is a matter of survival.
The good news is my husband is alive and well. He has defied what the doctors said would happen because of the use of good nutrition in the form of great supplements. And not the toxic drugs prescribed by his doctors.
For us, our journey to recovering my husband’s health included many different pieces.
One of his most difficult issues was a sensitivity to wheat and gluten. Bummer....even as a dietitian I had no idea all the places that wheat and gluten can be found in our food. Soy sauce, most processed foods with natural flavorings and modified food starch, pasta, cereals and beer were all off limit.
Talk about eating out! it was like I was the Gestapo interviewing the entire kitchen staff! This all due to the threat of food with wheat touching his food directly or sharing the same surfaces without being cleaned!
To top it all off...he was sensitive to dairy products. Two of the four food groups were off limits. Because of this it was next to impossible to get enough nutrition without a supplement to fill in the gaps. Without one his recovery would have been slower or next to impossible.
Because he was over 40 and had food sensitivities his digestive system was a wreck and needed help to work right by adding enzymes and probiotics.
I credit his amazing recovery to a great diet combined with natural, whole food standardized supplements that filled in the gaps. Without the discovery of these unique supplements I would be writing a far different end to this story.
This was hands down the most difficult time in my life.
I would have done anything to avoid the pain we went through. At least now I know better. Our wake up call led to new knowledge that has and will continue to improve our health.
It is my hope that hearing about our experience will enable you to take the steps necessary to protect your family!
Throughout my journey to hell and back; through all my research on that journey, I’ve discovered a fact that has been avoided and gone unnoticed for far too dangerously long.
I’ve learned that supplementation is a MUST and that it DOES matter what kind of supplementation.
I want to share with you my discoveries so you’ll never have to suffer what I went through.
Given his food sensitivities there was no way he’d be able to avoid all those foods and still have a healthy diet. We jumped through all kinds of hoops looking for the best supplements to fill in the gaps.
After tons of research we found the perfect fit. And this is what we learned about the supplement that was a partner in my husband’s amazing recovery...
- You’ll sleep better at night because you’re doing something good for your health
- You’ll experience new found energy resulting in better performance in everything that you love to do
- You’ll have fewer visits to your doctor because you’ll have greater resistance to colds, flu and infections
- Your family will love you more because of fewer mood swings.
- You’ll keep more of your hard-earned money for...college tuition, retirement, travel...
You might be thinking you’ve got your bases covered because you’re taking a synthetic supplement and your family is doing great. As I learned, there is some danger in thinking that because you have no symptoms all is well! We too, were taking a top rated synthetic supplement.
Testimonial:
"I have worked in health care for over 10 years and have cared for a large amount of overfed but malnourished and sick patients.; I highly recommend supplementing the diet with macro and micro-nutrients. I have taken these products for 4 years and I feel great and I have not missed work due to illness even though I work in one of the most infectious environments, the Emergency Room."

FACT
Even the AMA now recommends that Americans take supplements. The truth is that the overwhelming majority are not eating the recommended 10 to 12 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Only 11% of Americans are getting the recommended amounts.
Sadly, the average diet consists of highly processed packaged foods, fast foods and not enough whole foods, fruits and veggies. Most fruits and veggies are green harvested, and trucked many miles before hitting the grocery store...leaving them with little nutrition. Couple that with the fact that most Americans are not getting the recommended amounts of fruits and veggies it is no wonder it is necessary to take a daily supplement to fill in the gaps.
Not all supplements are created equal!
It is important to note that the AMA has also gone on record saying synthetic vitamins should be avoided.
Recent studies have linked isolated synthetic supplements to problems including death. That is because your body sees them as a foreign substance, much like a drug. They are not well absorbed and are toxic since you are designed to get your nutrition from whole foods.
In whole food, the nutrients are not isolated but exist in a complex of vitamins, minerals, enzymes... In this way, they work together synergistically and you absorb them better. Because a supplement has more vitamin C doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better. The source of the Vitamin C is what matters.
When you take a whole food supplement you get the same nutrition found in the real food...not so with synthetics. Your body will recognize it and absorb it. And...
You’ll avoid flushing your hard earned money down the toilet.
FACT
The biggest threat to your health is oxidative stress in the form of free radical damage. This can lead to the development of heart problems, unhealthy cells, poor immune function....
Many things cause free radical production including:
- Physical stress including exercise
- Inadequate nutrition
- Prescribed drugs
- Toxins in the environment, home, water and food
In 2001, the U.S. CDC (Center for Disease Control) did a study of only 27 toxins (of a possible 75,000). 100% of the people tested had 100% of the toxins being tested.
Toxins in the form of pesticides and industrial poisons are found both at the North and South Poles.
Toxins were even found in the fat of penguins that live in the most pristine waters of the world.
No matter where you live, you cannot escape.
This shocked me. No wonder immune problems are at an all time high and people are so sick and getting sicker all the time. I had to find a way to protect my husband from this scary fact. Lucky for us, these Support Packs have the best antioxidant protection I could find.
Antioxidants are the supplements that protect your cells from damage caused by toxins. A measure of how well an antioxidant works is called its ORAC. ..just a fancy scientific term for how well the supplement protects you against free radicals.
The higher the ORAC means you have more Pacmen gobbling up these scavenger free radicals.
Oh sure, other companies may report huge ORAC values but, we learned how to decipher what that really means. You see, a pill inside your body is far different than it was before you swallowed it. That is why tests on the antioxidant must be done after you swallow it.
Most supplements are never tested in the human body. The test that measures this is called the serum ORAC.
The Antioxidant in these Support Packs was shown to increase the serum ORAC more than 300% than eating an additional 5 servings of fruits and vegetables. No need for you to think about how to gulp down another 5 glasses of lemon juice everyday!
FACT
The words “I feel fine” may be the most dangerous when it comes to health care. Most people are under the false illusion that feeling good and/or the lack of symptoms equals optimal health.
Think about it...at the 2008 Men’s Marathon Olympic Trials a 28 year old world class athlete dropped dead 5 ½ miles into the race....very sad yet not so unusual anymore.
You probably have known someone who in spite of visibly good health and no apparent symptoms have had a massive heart attack and not survived.
50% of the time the first symptom of an unhealthy heart is death.
Many people take better care of their cars than their bodies. They change the oil every 3000 miles, add air to their tires, water in the radiator and so on....But they feed their bodies the SAD (Standard American Diet) with no consideration to the quality of the fuel they are feeding their body.
The only solution is prevention by supplementing with nutrients we know are missing from our current diet.
Rather than waiting for your first symptom of a unhealthy heart and playing “chance” with your life, protect your health with these nutrition Support Packs.

“The 3 Untold Secrets YOU Must Know When Taking Life-Changing Supplements“
Secret #1: When you begin taking supplements you could feel worse before you feel better.
We call this the correcting response. As you correct nutrition deficiencies, your body will begin to work efficiently. Some things that may happen include the release of toxins that may cause some discomfort including headaches, nausea, fatigue, skin reactions, flu-like symptoms.
This is temporary and is a good sign that you are on your way to great health. Exciting!
Secret #2: If you want to experience worthwhile results you must be committed to a program for at least 6 months. This is not a quick fix like drugs that merely hide symptoms often overnight.
If you’re being told otherwise, “RUN” in the opposite direction.
What this boils down to is that you can’t expect to fix something that is a result of months or maybe even years of abuse in the twinkling of an eye. Think about it...you did not get where you are overnight. It will take time to repair the damage done by stress, eating too many Big Macs, not enough sleep...
It would be plain silly to commit to a nutrition program for anything less than 6 months and a big waste of your money.
Secret #3: You will achieve a greater level of wellness if you work on all of the different components that make up good health.
Yeah, I know you’ve heard this before and it sounds like a ton of work. Look at it this way you’ve only got one body. You’re reading this so you want to make the best of it, right? Treat your body well and you’ll have a long life that is pain free and filled with happiness. That only makes sense. Quit looking for short cuts and don’t short change yourself.
So you’re thinking all of this all sounds great but...
“Wow, it sounds like I need to be a biochemist to make sure I get everything my body needs?!”
When you give your body lots of support to fill in the gaps you’ll get lots of attention because you’ll look younger than you are.
With a great supply of absorbable vitamins and minerals you’ll regain the energy and desire to have fun and live life fully.
You’ll lose the cravings for foods that aren’t good for you and maybe even lose a few pounds.
-
The Hormonal system is how your body regulates itself. Plant sterols are food for your organs so your body can balance its own hormones. Because of your diet, you are getting less than what you need. The result of this is unbalanced hormones resulting in moodiness, PMS, poor sleep, blood sugar imbalances...
When your hormones are balanced you’ll have a better attitude and mood, you’ll be a delight to be around.
Nutrition Support Packs are designed to provide nutrition support for your Immune, Energy and Hormonal systems.
All that nutrition support in convenient packs that you take twice per day, with breakfast and with dinner. No need to open any bottles.
A busy lifestyle doesn’t have to be an excuse anymore! Pop them in your purse, suitcase, gym bag...and take them on the run!
Testimonial: 
After using these nutrients for 3 years I'm not reaching for dry skin lotion anymore. Sleep is better. My family members who had blood sugar issues are much more balanced. Since good nutrients filled up many gaps in out diet, there are less cravings for the junk that we tried to fill ourselves up with.

My doctor says I don’t need supplements.
Doctors receive lots of training in prescribing drugs and in performing surgery. The focus of the healthcare industry is treating the symptoms of disease rather than on preventing disease.
They receive very little education and training in nutrition and achieving wellness. And yet they are often quick to give out information in areas that they have not received much training.
The #3 leading cost of death in the U.S. is legally prescribed drugs and medical treatments.
It’s really all up to you. You can choose to do nothing, wait and hope that it will never happen to you while everyone else around you is getting sicker and sicker.
OR
You can get smart, be proactive and invest in your wellness by consuming high quality, tested supplements that deliver the goods. And give your body the best fighting chance at beating the odds of becoming a victim of your poor diet.
Many studies show supplements don’t have what the label says. How can I be sure that I am getting what I’m paying for?
It’s true, many studies have found that what’s in the pill doesn’t match what’s on the label. In fact, the amounts are all over the board. Some have none at all while others have lots more than what is on the label.
Nutrition Support Packs are tested by a third party for consistency to make sure that they are within 1% of label amounts. No inferior product ever makes its way to your door.
You can sleep better at night knowing that you are getting what you are paying for.
I’m real confused. I’ve heard that some supplements can actually be dangerous.
Look at it this way...rarely is anything black and white, so it is important to look at the study in detail and ask these questions:
- What kinds of supplements were used in the study – were they whole food or synthetic? The studies that showed bad effects used synthetic supplements...not made from whole foods
100 % Guaranteed.
A lot of supplements out there claim to be the best and honestly, many sound the same. How can I tell the difference?
There is a phenomenon in the supplement world known as borrowed science. This is where companies claim there product has the same ingredients as another company and then claim the same benefits without doing the same clinical studies.
Only because a product claims higher amounts of nutrients doesn’t mean that you absorb all of it.
Look for products that provide plant-sourced vitamins and minerals that give the sources of the ingredients.
The company that makes Nutrition Support Packs has spent $20 million in the last 5 years on research and development including clinical studies. This is extremely rare, if not unheard of, in the nutrition supplement world.
When a company invests this much money in testing, research and quality control you can be assured that you are getting what you are paying for and that you will get the best health benefits.
Invest in the best quality for the health of your family. You are the only one that pays for the consequences of your choices! Why risk your health to save a few dollars?
WARNING IS THIS FOR YOU?
Like anything, nothing is perfect. So, if you are looking for a magic pill and not committed to making the other lifestyle changes that contribute to your overall wellness you will be sadly disappointed.
If you think that taking this product will make up for a crappy diet, smoking, drinking like a fish, it won’t. Nothing will.
Remember, you must be prepared to give the product a fair shake – that is, you must be committed at least 4 months. The product is backed up by a 180 day money back guarantee.
Otherwise, this product is not for you. Only people who are serious about investing in their health need enroll.
NO DABBLERS. End of story!
If you are 40 or older or have had food sensitivities or other digestive issues since the Nutrition Support Packs do not include a digestive enzyme or probiotic you will want to add this for digestive support.
What are These Amazing Supplements Going to Cost Me?

For the Amazing Low Price of $124.50 plus shipping for a 28 day supply you can have the assurance that you are giving your body the best clinically tested supplements available.

OR
You can do nothing while watching everyone around you getting sicker and sicker and think it will never happen to you.
