ALLERGIES "The improvements Requin 3 has brought to my arthritis laden life are almost unbelievable. After only a week (taking two tablets in the morning and two in the evening) pain had subsided in my hands and again I could read by holding up a book with just my right hand. Two weeks later I was unconsciously performing tasks I had not been able to do in years. An unexpected bonus occurred after a month of taking Requin 3, my sinuses cleared and I can again breathe normally. Requin 3 has worked nothing short of a miracle for me!"

Living in East Texas, surrounded by lakes, pine trees and forests, my wife and I suffer from allergies every fall and every spring. Every spring, my wife is miserable with congestion, headaches, sinus pain & pressure. Since we started on Requin 3 Shark Cartilage three months ago, we have not had any allergy problems.

ANXIETY I have a number of products that I love with NFLI, yet serenity is the one which made the first impact on me. I have times when I have suffered from anxiety attacks, fortunately it has been awhile since I have had one of them. I was experiencing quickened pulse, sweaty palms and forehead, and unclearness of thinking due to some circumstances that were very pressure packed at work. I had ordered serenity for my wife, saw it the medicine cabinet and decided to take it. Within a few minutes, my symptoms had moderated and within an hour they were gone. I used the product for a couple more days with similar results. Fortunately, I got a better handle on the stress at work, much of that was being able to work through the days in which I was having these attacks. Since that time(over a year), I have only needed serenity once, yet I know it is there just in case. The crazy thing about this product was that there were two other people in the position of supervisor just like myself. They too were suffering from the same symptoms as I. I loaned them them the serenity and they had similar results. I joked that I was a dealer. I guess this is a wonderful company to be a dealer for. Houn96

ARTERIAL SCLEROSIS My wife Jo was a heavy meat and dairy product consumer for many years. Unfortunately she developed severe headaches which I thought were related to perhaps food allergies. I knew it was serious enough to get a professional's opinion, so I took her to the Century Clinic in Reno, Nevada, where Dr. Katrina Tang gave her a thorough examination. She found that her carotid arteries (the arteries that supply the brain with oxygen and blood) were 80% blocked. She proceeded then to have 15 chelation therapies using a synthetic amino acid called EDTA. At the end of the trail, Jo had an 80%ng of both carotid arteries, the headaches were gone, and her memory had improved dramatically. For the next two years, I kept her on Master Key while trying to reduce her beef, pork and dairy consumption. I must tell you I was much more successful at keeping her on the Master Key than reducing her favorite foods. Nonetheless, at the end of two years she went back to the Century Clinic for a re-examination and the test indicated that there was no progression of the arterial sclerosis in all of the arteries.

ARTHRITIS A little note to let you know how shark cartilage has helped me. My left knee hurt me so bad, sometimes I couldn't lie down at night to sleep and some days I couldn't work in my shop for the pain. So finally I went to a chiropractor. He sent me to a specialist who said I have arthritis. He gave me some strong pills which I did not want to take, as he said they could give me bleeding ulcers. I had heard of shark cartilage and thought I would give it a try. I used it for about four weeks and it started to relieve my pain. Now I put my cane away and don't have a limp. Thank you!

I suffered a fracture of my right patella last August, which was what more than anything else led to my use of sharks cartilage and launched my interest and commitment to Nutrition for Life. I have suffered from osteoarthritis to both my knees for several years. Prior to the Accident last August my left knee was worse than my right and had given me daily pain for five years. The fractured patella led to my having to have a total knee replacement on December 18, 1996. As a consequence to this there was more strain to my left knee which had to be overused in favor of the freshly operated right knee. The pain was getting worse in my left knee and I was facing having to have a replacement of that knee as well, which I was definitely not looking forward to. When I heard about the Artho Tri-pak I was definitely skeptical as I couldn't imagine anything resulting in new cartilage actually forming in an old osteoarthritis joint. After procrastinating for about two months I finally decided to take the plunge and try the Tri-pak. I had an x-ray taken of my left knee in Sept 96 and again in April 97 and planned to have another x-ray taken of my left knee after being on the Tri-pak for a period of time to determine whether or not new cartilage could actually be demonstrated on x-ray or not. I started the Tri-pak on Sept 9, 97 and followed the program as recommended. I awoke on Sept 16 just six days later with no pain in my left knee. I was ecstatic but very cautious as I thought it might just be a coincidence. By October 1st I knew it was more than that as I still didn't have any pain in my left knee and I had actually been able to go big game hunting without any problems with it whatsoever. On October 4', 97 1 had a follow up x-ray taken of my left knee and I actually saw what I thought was definite unequivocal evidence of an increase in articular cartilage. Cartilage is not usually seen on x-ray, but I have a condition called chondro calcinosis where the articular cartilage in my knees has calcium deposition in it making it visible on x-ray. For further substantiation of this I asked a colleague and friend of mine Dr. Leo Gusziak, who is a Radiologist practicing in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan to have a look at them. Dr. Gusziak's opinion: "The x-rays of October 4, 97 show a definite increase in articular cartilage over the x-rays done prior to starting on the Tri-pak"

I had never taken vitamins, or minerals, my eating habits like so many people were bad and I certainly knew nothing of herbs. I had taken over the years so many medications trying to find help, or rather relief, my body was surely completely confused and totally out of kilter, to say nothing of my mental state. I started out on the Arthritis TriPak and Capsicum, as I had suffered with an arthritis-like pain in every joint. I was taking a medication for it and suffering with my stomach. I had ulcers from the medication. I must say, when I discovered Capsicum I thought I had found the answer to all my problems. It is truly a great herb, but, of course, nothing is that easy, and since I had a great many other problems, I became very interested in learning more about NFL products. Currently I am using Herbal Blends 2 and 3 as I have had a lung infection and breathing problems for the past two months. I also just started using the Oraflow Plus. I've only be on Oraflow for a little over a week but I can already feed a difference! It's so great! I can still hardly believe there is something you can take without drugs and still feel better - with NO SIDE EFFECTS!

ASTHMA Here's wonderful news about a woman from Hawaii who suffered with severe asthma. At times, her attacks had been so bad, she was taken into the hospital emergency room. Then she heard about the healing powers of Requin 3 shark cartilage. After taking Requin 3, she noticed that her breathing was easier. She can now laugh which she wasn't able to do because of her asthmatic condition. She has more energy and she has cut back on her medication.

I had a patient with severe breathing problems come into my office and just the walk from her car into my office had her weak and suffering from shortness of breath. I gave her one capsule of Nutrition For Life's O2 and had the nurse draw blood for some lab tests. Ten minutes later, I was on the phone as she walked into my office, without her oxygen. She told me she had turned it off for the first time in months and she was going shopping. She left me sitting there with my mouth Two hours later, she called my office and told us that it was the first time in 2 years she'd been able to go shopping and to order her some of "those pills".

BLOOD PRESSURE Lowered Blood Pressure......"I was on blood pressure medicine for 20 years. After hearing Dr. Duarte talk about Nutrition For Life's Natural products, I started on Master Key Plus, multi-purpose vitamin and CO Q 10.

I had been a victim of high blood pressure for several years. After staying on Oraflow Plus for 90 days, full strength, (10 tablets a day), my blood pressure came down to normal range and has remained there ever since. Presently I'm on a 4 tablet a day dosage. Besides enjoying better health and peace of mind, my insurance premiums have been reduced, no more expensive medicine to buy and I'm enjoying other nutritional benefits from this formula. Oraflow Plus is truly a lifesaver.

BRAIN TUMOR In July, 1992, my daughter Becky Farr - age 40 - had a CAT scan. It showed a tumor. On August 14, 1992 she was operated on at UCSF by our surgeon. He removed most of it but couldn't get it all (it was Astrocytoma, a fast growing brain tumor). In September I heard of the shark cartilage so I started giving her 9 capsules a day. She was now paralyzed on her right side and couldn't talk at all. She went for 2 treatments of chemotherapy and all the time I kept up with the shark cartilage. In December, 1992, when she had her second and last chemotherapy treatment, we almost lost her. Our doctor really gave up hope. She was hospitalized and he asked if I wanted life support used as they thought she'd go during the night. By the grace of God, she survived and by the end of the week she came home. The tumor was still larger in January, then in February it stabilized and by April it had shrunk. It's still there, but it's smaller and no new growth has been found. She now can wash her face, brush her teeth, stand, and with the help of physical therapy and her walker was able to walk 10 steps. It has been a long process but she is really showing progress. I will still continue to use the shark cartilage. If she has a hard time swallowing them because of a sore throat I mix the powder from the capsules in her food or add them to a milk shake and there's no problem. However she takes them, I still give her 9 a day, and we will be going up to 20 grams a day as I have just found out this is the lowest cancer dose.

This is one that I witnessed myself. A 39 year old nurse in Seattle had 7 brain tumors so critical she was sent home to take care of (final) business. She was unable to function. She started on 40 Requin 3 a day and Bio Water. In 2 1/2 months she had a MRI and they only found 7 dotes where the tumors had been, no cancer left.

BREAST CANCER In 1992 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Immediately my doctor scheduled surgery for a mastectomy and for the removal of my cancerous lymph nodes. After the surgery I was informed that I should have radiation therapy because they were unable to remove all the cancer. I refused and set out to find an alternative approach to healing myself. I changed my diet, took nutritional supplements and started taking Requin 3. For the next four months I made steady progress, then my condition started to worsen. Doctors told me I should have taken the radiation therapy. I stubbornly stuck to my commitment and within 6 more weeks I started to get better. One year later I have a new lease on life. At my last check-up my doctor told me to keep on doing whatever I was doing.

Hi Don, I have a testimonial about Bio Water. Two years ago my son Michael kicked some ash out of a barbecue pit with his bare feet. The pit was not burning at the time but the ash at the bottom was still hot. Michael suffered second degree burns on most of his left foot. The doctor gave him some ointment and bandages, but unfortunately the pain was still severe. My husband and I had just gotten involved in NFLI and thought we would try Bio Water. I poured it on his foot (full strength) and immediately the pain subsided. We continued pouring the bio water on his foot at each dressing change, each time letting it dry completely and then redressing his foot. Within the next few days we were noticing new skin growth! Since that time we have tried it on many other ailments, such as: bug bites, rashes, diaper rash, skin irritation, scrapes, cuts, ingrown toenails, stitches, and many others. It not only makes the pain go away but it makes for a quicker healing process. EVERYONE should have bio water in there house!

CANDIDA Last year at this time I had decreased energy levels, a discharge and much confusion on how to eat without burps afterwards. A nutritionist put me on an anticandida diet and gave me Capsicum and Acidophilus, which gave me some relief. Total relief didn't come until I visited the Century Clinic. They put my husband, our son and myself on a anticandida diet or allergy free diet and gave us all allergy drops. After a month my husband and son were free of candida and we were told they could cheat a little on their diet. I still had candida as before but had been twice as bad as my family, originally. Now I am free of candida, too. I take plenty of digestive enzymes, 2 to 4 a day and the recommended garlic and Taheebo, plus five Acidophilus. I also take HR-118 twice a day and other multi-vitamins and extra calcium. I feel great with this regimen, plus getting regular exercise.

CARPAL TUNNEL For years, I have had to take pain relievers at night to help me sleep because of the arthritis in both knees, caused by injuries suffered during cliff climbing in Okinawa during the 70's. I also have been given medicine for the carpal tunnel in my left wrist from either spending too much time on the computer keyboard or carrying a heavy briefcase in my left hand. I started taking 3 Requin-3 Shark Cartillage every morning and within a couple of weeks, I no longer had the pain in the knees or the wrist.

CIRCULATION PROBLEMS In August of 1987 an electrical contractor was doing some changes on my main electrical panel. The crew had gone home for the evening, and I was looking for something. Apparently one of the workmen had left the panel exposed. I bumped a piece of conduit that was leaning against the wall. It started to fall down and I grabbed it. The end lodged in the exposed panel and I was immediately electrocuted. I was stuck to the conduit for an undetermined amount time. My neighbors lights dimmed at the occurrence of the accident and he looked out the window to see what was going on. He saw a flash caused by the short circuit and ran over to see what had happened. When he found me I had no pulse. He ran back to his home and dialed 911. Fortunately for me the aid car response was very quick, otherwise I would not be here to tell you my story. The prognosis from the doctor was not good. I lost 75% to 80% of the feeling in my legs. I had holes blown in the bottom of each foot where the electricity went to ground. The doctor thought he could treat me on an outpatient basis. Over the next few months the sores turned ulcerous and became heavily infected and I was beginning to lose my eye sight. I was admitted to the hospital because I could not care for my feet at home. After about 20 days in the hospital the gangrenous infection was under good enough control that they began to do some surgery to remove parts of dead tissue. My legs deteriorated because of poor circulation to the point that my doctor began to talk about amputation. He never did say "we're going to cut the foot off" but he did indicate that if we did not do something more extensive, I could loose my feet. He was not able to give me any kind of hope or promise of saving my feet. I was getting very fearful, when in May of 1991 a friend of mine told me a story of someone who had similar problems. He had used a product called Master Key Plus with great success. I went to a meeting where people were sharing stories about products and met the gentleman she was telling me about. He told me what he was doing and I started on the same program right away. I used Master Key Plus, Coenzyme Q 10 and Bio-Enhanced Water. Within 2 to 3 days I noticed something going on with my legs. It felt like two forces fighting each other. I could feel the life going back into them. It was almost as if there was a line across my legs that separated feeling from numbness. It started about mid thigh. Over the course of the next few weeks the line of separation moved its way down my legs toward my feet. The skin which used to be dark and bruised in color returned to normal. One of the doctors was so interested in the speed of my recovery that he had me come back on a weekly basis to watch. He was so impressed with what was happening that I think he even postponed his vacation to track my recovery. As of this writing, my legs and feet are in fine shape and I have the full use of them. The holes in the bottom of my feet are healed and the last of the scar tissue is gone. Needless to say I am a happy camper and would recommend these products to anyone, especially to people with circulation and leg problems.

I would like to tell you how wonderful my father is doing after being on Oraflow Plus. It started when my doctors discovered my dad had no pulse in his left foot. They told him he would have to have surgery in three months. He started on the Oraflow and three months later went back to his doctor. When the surgeon examined him, he got a pulse in his left leg. The doctor was quite surprised and told my dad he did not need surgery after all, and to keep doing whatever he was doing. My father is 81 years old, and is now back to swimming. We are sure happy that we found Nutrition For Life and Oraflow Plus!

I had a circulation problem and was afraid of hardening of the arteries, which my doctor told me I had. My left foot would wake me up at night with indescribable pain. Nothing would help it except heat. I would just cook my foot and leg, along with massage, before I could get any relief. I heard about Oraflow and ordered a bottle. I have taken nearly all of it and ordered another one. No more pain and my circulation is so much better! Now, when I greet friends with a hand shake they say, "Your hands are so warm!" I don't say so, but my feet are, too! I never want to be without Oraflow Plus! Sincerely,  
E. Yoder, OH  

I've only been using Oraflow Plus for two and a half months but already my circulation has improved. I stay warm longer and my feet do not stay cold. When I wear high heels my big toes do not hurt any more. Also, I have more energy and my fingernails are getting harder. I have more endurance, too.

CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE "After I'd had congestive heart failure on November 8th, 1991, I was introduced to Nutrition For Life. The medications my doctor had me taking didn't seem to help, so I asked Dr Duarte what natural products I could take with my condition. He suggested Master Key Plus, Co Q 10, Bio Enhanced Water, Vitamin E w/Lecithin and Calcium Magnesium. Within a few days I noticed a lot of energy and felt better. For the past year my doctor says my blood pressure has been normal. I believe in all honesty, if I hadn't started on these products I would not be were I am today."

I have suffered from depression since the age of 12. For about 15 years I was dependent on lithium and various prescription anti-depressants to function. Since joining NFLI and using the products, my life has dramatically changed. I am now prescription drug free! I use ALERT and also St. John's Wort, as well as staying on the basic regimen of oraflow plus, phytogreen, phytonol, bio enhanced water. Besides being free of the side effects of the drugs I took for so long, I have the added bonus just plain feeling good and feeling good about myself. I would caution anyone contemplating cutting down or going off their prescription medication to consult their doctor and notify the person closest to them so they will have someone keeping a close eye on their behavior.

We had worked talking with a lady about the business, she had a moderate interest. A retired, very sharp gal. Her husband had diabetes, and had one leg amputated already. The last leg got infected and he was hospitalized a week. I called several times a week, to see how he was. We became good friends. It looked bad for his leg. The doctors could do very little. They sent him home with sores unhealed and on numerous medications. We had talked and planned for him to start on Oraflow Plus, Marine Lipids, and possibly Herbal #8. His doctor was not for it. The wife went to a Chinese MD who told her not to worry, it couldn't hurt. 10 days ago she started her husband on the program, and guess what. Today she said excitedly, the sores are healing, whitish instead of red and such, the swelling in the leg is gone, and all looks VERY promising. He is taking 4-6 Oraflow a day, and 3 Marine Lipids! A miracle? Just think of it as giving raw materials for the body to do it's own great work. She said, "I think I need to talk to Mike about joining this business!"

I have been a diabetic for 32 years. Until September of 1997, when I joined NFLI, I would have laughed in your face if you would have mentioned taking vitamins, herbs, ect, to help control my blood sugar levels. I have always had glycohemoglobin levels checked to see what my over-all controll was and the results had been running in the 10, 11, 12 range. After being on (the NFLI products I feel are helping me) phytogreen,oraflow-plus, herbal blend 8, capsicum, and alfalfa, for three months, my glycohemoglobin level is at 7.2.

EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS Not only was my son helped by Dr. Katrina Tang, but I too went through the clinic for treatment the second year Michael went. I was chronically fatigued, and my regular doctor told me I needed to slow down a bit. I told him that all I could do was sleep, and I couldn't slow down more than that. Dr. Katrina found that I was infected with EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus). I started treatment immediately, and to this day I have never felt better.

HEART ATTACK My name is Ron Vargo, I'm 52, retired police officer from Fairfield, CT. In May of 1981, I had a heart attack and then went through by-pass surgery. In August of 1985, I had another heart attack with by-pass surgery again. I have permanent damage to 1/3 of my heart. In May of 1991, I met Marjorie and Jim Llewellyn, who shared a product with me called Oroflow Plus. I have been on Oroflow Plus for four weeks now and I noticed that my toes are no longer cold which means to me, I'm getting more circulation into my feet. I can't wait to see my results in three or four months. I took my Oroflow Plus to my cardiologist, he read the ingredients and stated there's nothing in the product to harm me and it will probably do me good.

HEART BEAT IRREGULAR My mother is 79 years old and lives in Oklahoma. She doesn't believe in taking medicine because of her religion. So I chose to send her Oraflow Plus for her birthday. Mother has suffered for nearly 50 years with an irregular heartbeat, sometimes racing really fast for hours and hours. She would be so sick and then maybe it would almost stop. She says it did stop at times. Since going on Oraflow Plus, she hasn't had any irregularity in her heartbeat. Praise God and thanks to Oraflow. Her quality of life is much improved!

HEART BLOCKAGE Over four years ago I hadheart surgery to by-pass some blockages. About two years ago I started having some heart pains, so my doctor had me under go a thallium stress test which showed I had some blockages in some of the smaller arteries beyond the previously by-passed blockages. Nothing more could be done except take Cortizen, Nitrobid and Hyazide. A friend told me about the good results his brother had gotten by using OraFlow Plus. I was naturally interested. I bought a three month supply and showed the list of ingredients in the Oraflow Plus tablets to all of my three doctors who stated they saw nothing which would be harmful. They did feel it was a waste of my money. After taking the Oraflow for two months, the doctor wanted to repeat the thallium stress test, as it had been over a year since the last one. The results of this test surprised my doctor. He could only say it was just unbelievable. He told me to stop taking all my heart medicine. He reluctantly agreed that it appeared that the Oraflow Plus pills had been helpful. My heart problems have not come back and I continue to take the Oraflow Plus.

Last October, my husband needed a by-pass but he started on Oraflow Plus on November 1st. On January 20th, Harry had a treadmill and other tests at his cardiologist's office. They were amazed at his test results - diminishing of plaque, which they say doesn't usually occur, and an excellent treadmill. I have osteo-arthritis and just started Oraflow myself. I'm sure it will help me also.

P.S. Harry is also gardening again and has generally more pep and energy since using Oraflow Plus. He recently turned 76.

HEARTBURN & INDIGESTION Living in Texas, we eat Tex-Mex alot, as well as chili, onions, peppers and other things that cause heartburn or indigestion. HR117, another homeopathic solution from NFLI, is a tablet we place on or under our tongue and within just a few minutes - we experience relief from the indigestion and heartburn. We didn't get these results from TUMS, Pepcid A-C, Tagamet, Carafate, or others that docs have been giving me as samples for years or the prescriptions we took.

HERPES SIMPLEX Medical studies indicate one out of every four people carry the Herpes virus. I'm one of those people. For 19 years, I have been plagued by 3 or 4 sessions of active Herpes each year; both genital and "cold sores". I've taken the two medications prescribed by physicians and each time, it usually takes 3 or 4 days to START seeing results. Last year, I started taking L-Lysine from Nutrition For Life and applying Virahol gel to the affected areas. The result for two sessions last year was that the symptoms were gone within a day and a half. Since I started taking Requin 3 for arthritis though, I haven't had one outbreak yet.

HIP PAIN "After a near fatal car accident I suffered 4 years of pain in both hips making it extremely difficult to sleep or walk normally after sitting for a long period, I took Requin 3 and Marine Lipids. The pain after just two weeks was gone and has not returned with it being over 5 weeks now."

Pain In Hips & Legs Gone......"About 4 months ago I began to experience a lot of pain in my hips and legs. It became very difficult for me to walk, climb stairs or keep my balance. I was in pain constantly. As soon as the Requin 3 was available I started taking 6 capsules a day with Marine Lipids. Very soon I noticed the pain was getting less and my balance was better. Now after only about 2 months I am completely back to normal."

HORMONE REPLACEMENT - ESTROGEN Questions have been raised recently about the dangers of Premarin, as opposed to the benefits, which caused me to question my use of it - for over 7 years. After I read the article in Reader's Digest I decided to stop using Premarin immediately. The hot flashes started, driving me crazy! I called Nutrition For Life in Houston, to ask what Dr. Duarte recommends for menopausal women. If we choose to stop using Premarin (which I do) we should stop gradually, maybe one pill every 2-3 days. For the first month take six H.B. #4 and three Her Nucleoprotein a day. After a month, cut back to four H.B. #4 a day, continuing the Her Nucleoprotein. I'm in my third week on this program and am thrilled!!! I have NO HOT FLASHES and no other symptoms. I hope to be off Premarin completely next month. (Because of the chemicals in Premarin it shouldn't be taken within two hours of taking our products). The products I'm taking now will provide me with natural estrogen!! I also take our Calcium-Magnesium to safeguard against osteoporosis. Only you can decide what you choose to do. But I'm extremely happy that I have a natural alternative.

PAIN If pain is keeping you awake at night, perhaps from degenerative diseases such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or other health conditions which cause pain, then the following regimen is recommended. First of all, especially for arthritics or any kind of inflammatory degeneration, nothing beats shark cartilage as a powerful pain killer. Unfortunately, it takes several days to several weeks for it to take effect. My recommendation is if you are in chronic pain (and this can be pain from anything, from arthritis to backache) I would recommend 12 capsules of Requin 3, (Item #06019) shark cartilage a day, 4 at each meal. Try it for at least 2 to 5 weeks before making a decision as to whether or not it is working. Dr. John F. Prudden has demonstrated that shark cartilage and bovine cartilage have powerful anti-inflammatory components such as condroitins A, B, and C and glycosaminoglycans.

PANCREATIC CANCER  
In February 1994 my Dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer - a tumor the size of a navel orange. Prognosis was very poor. My Dad preferred conventional treatment, (low-dose radiation and chemotherapy at the same time) but was receptive to other approaches. He received radiation twice daily, five days a week for more than six weeks, plus intravenous chemotherapy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which he continues. Also, Dad seems to have faithfully followed your advice to take 35 capsules per day of Requin 3. His most recent CAT SCAN (in July) showed the tumor has reduced in size and now may very well be deteriorating from the inside out. He feels and looks good! There is no question in my mind that the Requin 3 is a significant factor in his ongoing recovery and his ability to tolerate the radiation and chemotherapy with minimal side effects. He intends to stay on 35 capsules a day at least until the chemo is completed.

PHLEBITIS I will make my testimony as brief as possible. I've had 4 major surgeries since 1982, 3 total hip replacements and back surgery. I had a bad fall and had to have the right one replaced the second time. My circulation is bad. My feet and legs would swell. I couldn't drive my car any more. I had to use a walker and a cane and I have a chair lift. The phlebitis in my right leg was so bad I didn't dare touch it. This was the leg that the hip was replaced the 2nd time. Of the 4 surgeries, this was the worst. I was in the hospital 31 days and a long recovery at home. I've been on OraFlow Plus about six weeks. I DO NOT use the walker any more, I am driving again. I can get out of my chair without help, but I do depend on my cane some. I am 85 years old and do all my own work. I have more energy and enjoy life again. I am so grateful for my friends for introducing me to OraFlow Plus. It's been a God send to me, that I can enjoy living again. Oh yes! Most of all, my feet and legs don't swell any more. The phlebitis is much better. I plan to stay on OraFlow Plus!

SHINGLES In mid June I went to see a doctor about terrible pain I had been having on my skin. The pain was so intense that by the evening I had to go to an Out Patient Clinic. The doctor said I had a viral infection known as shingles. He said it would last several weeks and that I should prepare to get used to it. He gave me a prescription for the infection that cost $100. The next day I tried to go to work and passed out two times due to the intense pain. That's when I heard about shark cartilage and began taking 6 capsules a day. By evening of the first day the pain was substantially less and by the end of the week I was functional again. Also, I took the Aloe Vera Gel and mixed it with the contents of three Requin 3 shark cartilage capsules. Then I applied this mixture right on my skin. Within hours the lesions began to dry up. In less than seven days my skin was back to normal and the problem was gone. Thanks to Dr. Duarte and Nutrition For Life Shark Cartilage, I now have, in my opinion, the best medicinal food in the world.

SINUSITIS "This has helped provide relief to my chronic sinusitis condition. Since my sinuses don't allow for proper drainage, infections with even minor allergies or colds.

SMOKING I've been smoking for 23 years and have tried to quit at least 20 times in the past 15 years, to no success. I've tried the following to help me quit: Cigarest, Nicorette, Habtrol, Hypnosis, patches, acupuncture and the Stop Smoking program at the hospital. Last week, I made another attempt, but this time, I tried something different. I used the Habitrol 21 mg patch, but instead of getting uptight, jittery, and convincing myself that I would be doing everyone a favor if I bought a pack - on the second day, I took 2 Serenity tablets from Nutrition For Life. Within an hour, I was not thinking about cigarettes. It was amazing because prior to that - I would think of smoking at least 30 times an hour. It was about 3pm when I started thinking of cigarettes again and found myself starting to get nervous and anxious. I took two more Serenity tabs and pretty soon I started relaxing and it's progressively gotten easier. Yesterday, I was out of town and didn't take my Serenity with me and prior to getting home last night about 7pm, I had stopped to get gasoline, bummed a smoke and now I'm back on the Serenity and feeling much better.

According to Robert Milne, M.D. of Las Vegas, Nevada the homeopathics which occur in HR-133 are extremely beneficial in aiding people when they are under great psychological stress. Ignatia Amara has often been used for people who have extreme irritability, sobbing and muscle spasm. One of the most important ingredients in HR-133 is Nux Vomica. Dr. Milne points out this is particularly effective for people who have anxiety induced insomnia which may even include sensitivity to cold, irritability towards anything that may slow them down, or extreme emotional states of frustration.

STROKE "Three years ago I was a busy, energetic person. I was working a full time job and helping with my daughter's wedding. Then out of the blue everything stopped. I had a stroke. I spent a month and a half in the hospital. I had to have help in and out of a wheel chair. I came home and spent my time laying in bed. My husband, Knud, bless his heart, took over the cooking and cleaning. I had to have someone come in and sit with me while he was at work. I couldn't read or communicate properly. I was a mess and wished I could die." I couldn't even make myself a cup of coffee. Friends made me TV dinners but I didn't know how to operate the microwave and if I did get it to work I couldn't carry the plate to the table. I couldn't cook. I couldn't wash clothes. I couldn't do anything." "We met a fellow who introduced us to Nutrition For Life. When we called the home office they advised me to take Oraflow Plus, Requin 3, Coenzyme Q-10 and Capsicum. I started taking this in April, 1993. I can't believe what it's done for me. I now can cook, vacuum and wash clothes. I can go camping and play cards. I have to watch my balance and my memory isn't too good but I am sure that without Nutrition For Life I would still be bedridden and using a cane. By taking their wonderful products I know I will continue to improve!"

ULCERS I started out on the Arthritis TriPak and Capsicum, as I had suffered with an arthritis-like pain in every joint. I was taking a medication for it and suffering with my stomach. I had ulcers from the medication. I must say, when I discovered Capsicum I thought I had found the answer to all my problems. It is truly a great herb, but, of course, nothing is that easy, and since I had a great many other problems, I became very interested in learning more about NFL products. Currently I am using Herbal Blends 2 and 3 as I have had a lung infection and breathing problems for the past two months. I also just started using the Oraflow Plus. I've only be on Oraflow for a little over a week but I can already feed a difference! It's so great! I can still hardly believe there is something you can take without drugs and still feel better - with NO SIDE EFFECTS!

Several medical studies have been done on the effects of Shark Cartillage on most forms of cancer. One such study took people that had failed at chemotherapy and radiation and gave them large doses of shark cartilage - the results were that 61% of those tested had their cancer go into remission. If you would like a copy of the audio tape, which includes a special shown on 60 Minutes about shark cartilage and cancer, please call the number below. It is also very important to know that how the shark cartilage is processed may make the difference on whether it helps you or not. Nutrition For Life uses the cold-processing of the cartilage and then to make it more assimilatable by your body, they grind the cartilage into extra-fine powder. If it's not assimilated by your body, it's not going to help you
