My Juice PLUS+ Story
I know my blog is all about learning, but I just had to share my Juice Plus+ Story with you.
About 14 years ago, I began having some health issues. My heart would race at times and I’d have shortness of breath. I was honestly afraid of having a heart attack. So scary! I was also completely exhausted, despite all the sleep I was getting.
A trip to the doctor for my annual visit showed that I was anemic.
This explained a lot of the health issues I was having. Now, I was already taking a multivitamin everyday. But a multivitamin wasn’t enough. Little did I know it at the time, but my multivitamin was mostly get passed through my system, not absorbed into my blood.
I was told to start taking iron pills and add more red meat and leafy green vegetables to my diet. I did as I was told, although that iron pill absolutely tore up my stomach.
Follow-up visits were needed to check my iron levels again. At the next visit, my numbers hadn’t changed one bit. I was still anemic.
They wanted me take a higher does of the iron pills, which I wasn’t looking forward to. I was retested again a few weeks later with minimal results. I was frustrated to say the least.
It was then that I discovered Juice Plus+ and realized that I needed something that could be absorbed into my blood, not just passed through my body.
After doing lots of digging and research into Juice Plus+ I decided to stop taking the multivitamin AND iron pills. I only took Juice Plus+. At that time, I took 2 of the Orchard Blend and 2 of the Garden Blend every day {those were the only products they had}.
To my amazement, my iron numbers were coming up nicely at my next blood test. The person taking my blood said, “Whatever you’re doing, keep on doing it.” It was really working!
So I’ve never gone back to multivitamins. I only take Juice Plus+ {Orchard, Garden, & Vineyard now}. I have seen great health benefits from flooding my body with fruits and veggies every day!
My Juice Plus+ Story Now
Fast forward 14 years…I have a twelve year old son who suffers from migraines. He has for about seven years now. We’ve tried three different migraine medicines and he’s currently on a very low dose of an anti-anxiety medicine.
None of these has really put a stop to his sometimes debiltiating headaches or migraines.
Just recently, I realized that his body would also benefit from taking the Juice Plus+ trio capsules. He’s been taking them for about 3 weeks now and can already tell a difference. He said he’s had 1 or 2 minor headaches so far, but nothing compared to what he had before. And, there have been NO migraines so far!!
I know change at the cellular level takes time {often 6 months}. I also know that Juice Plus+ pills aren’t magic. But I’m excited to see how giving him this concentration of whole food nutrition from a wide variety of fruits and veggies will help him, too!
