I met with Judy Johnston in her
home on December 11, 1998 after a brief phone conversation with her and after
having listened to the FEEL BETTER PROGRAM TAPE and reading about CAROTENOIDS. I took the health test she supplied and went
home with a 40+ pack, NouriShake Strawberry, Daily Carotenoid Complex, Vitamin
E Plus, Chelated Cal-Mag, Omega III Salmon Oil, Acidophilus Plus, and the
Vegetarian Protein Drink. I started with
the recommended amounts at lunch that day.

The end of august, 1994, I came
down with what was later decided was a viral attack on my central nervous
system keeping off work and in bed for most of that time until the middle of
November. L It started with the sensation of lights flashing or firecrackers
going off in my upper neck/lower brain stem making me sick to my stomach and causing
me to faint. It made my hearing and
vision ultra sensitive for over two of those weeks. And I couldn’t sleep and experienced limb
paralysis.
I have been
a vegetarian all of my life experimenting with raw diets and juice diets and no
protein diets at times. I had my ovaries
removed in my early 29’s due to chocolate cysts and have taken Premarin for
most of my adult life then going down to a lower dosage of Ogen and nutaral progesterone
at times I went without entirely, again experimenting. I have experienced severe migraine headaches
most of my life changing to ocular migraines in the last 10 years. About 10 years ago I went through period of
what appeared to be chronic fatigue. For
the last couple of years I have taken two extra strength Tylenol every night so
I won’t wake up stiff in the mornings from arthritis. I have also suffered from panic and anxiety
attacks and depression since my viral attack in 1994l
I will never
forget the reaction of my body that first night on GNLD. I decided not to take my two double strength
Tylenol and retired at my usual time of around 9 PM. It seemed as though tingles of healing electrical
energy radiated from my lower back, up my spine and fanning out into my lower
brain stem nourishing that damaged area of four years ago. Other energizing tingles warmed my whole hip
region, my knees, ankles, elbows, writs and fingers and toes. I lay there amazed and suddenly realized that
for the first time I could remember RELAX INTO MY BODY. Increasingly through the years I have felt
that I had to RUN JUST A LITTLE HARDER AND FASTER AHEAD OF MY BODY OR SOMEHOW
MY PLUG OF LIFE WOULD BE PULLED. Because
of that, I have taken stress relieving herbs, drunk raw celery juice and
practiced guided imagery for relief. But
somehow I knew deep inside that my body could not relax without those extra
aids.
Other
products I have taken with this much Vitamin A, D and E in them have made me
break out, and caused my tongue and lips to be sore so I had to limit my intake
to water soluble vitamins. I sailed through
the Christmas holidays meeting my sons’ prospective in-laws for the first time
with no panic attacks and my husband commented that I seemed much more relaxed
than usual.
I believe
that my body had been starved for the grain oils, for the calcium/mag that I can
digest as I am allergic to milk products, and that fish oil and carotneoids are
relieving my stiffness and fatigue and my hormones are being regulated from these
natural sources. I look forward to a
rewarding time with GNLD!
