Aw, shucks, Wanda, thanks!!!

Mom and my aunt are doing much better. I was just telling my husband this a.m.

how thankful I am to be 46 yo and still have both of my parents. Mom was out

walking in the sunshine and fresh air for a few minutes today. I think it did

her a world of good.

BTW, thank you all my precious LL friends for your faithful prayers for my

family. Believe me, I've thought of all of you often with a very grateful heart

for your care and concern.

Love,

Melinda :o)

Melinda

Hi Melinda,

I hope your Mom and Aunt are doing better.

And glad to hear you are heading back in the right direction. Keep

up the great work.

Love, Wanda.

>

> Very encouraging, Molly. We eat pretty healthy, too. I'm steadily

moving in the right direction. I've been a little off track the last

couple of weeks with my mom's and aunt's illnesses, and figuring

income tax (ugh!!), but I'm heading back in the right direction

again. I was doing very well, just eating my usual diet and LLing.

Hello dearest Melinda,

I love your message. Every word in your message is a gift. I really loved what

you said about letting go of anger and learning to forgive. It is so important

to our healing and our success. If you hold on to negative feelings they become

like a poison running through your body, making you sick and weak. When you let

go and allow the goodness and the peace that comes from complete unconditional

love, for others and for yourself take over, your whole body begins to be

nurtured back into good health and a perfect state of well-being. When you

release anger you become free to be happy.

I am so excited to see that you are enjoying all of these great benefits. You

deserve to be happy, healthy, grateful and pain free. You are a love!

Be Healthy and take good care,

Rashelle

Harness the Powerful Benefits of Oxygen with LifeLift.

Oxygen burns fat, tones muscles, reduces stress

Be healthier with each breath you take with LifeLift www.lifelift.com

Animated animals to entertain your whole family while you workout

www.oxygenzoo.com

ah hah!

Well, it just goes to show you that you must follow instructions.

I measured myself back in January...and I lost inches in the places I

wanted to lose the most...but, all of a sudden I felt I was in some

kind of plateau...

The last 6 weeks or so, I felt like nothing was moving along.

Last night I measured myself in my chest, and bust, and the

measurement right under my arms...Oh my gosh! 10 inches lost! I had

totally forgotten to even consider my " top " . My shirts were starting

to definitely " fit " ...I never had shirts that weren't tight...yep...

I looked at my tee shirts and was surprised to see that there was all

this " room " under my arms...

I'm so tickled about this.

And on the mention of Healing...I am a firm believer in our Lord, I

fully believe he wants us whole and healthy and fit. I also believe

that we must use what we have been taught, discern what is RIGHT and

and TRUE and just.

LIFELIFT definitely fits all these criteria! My MS has been in

remission for over a year now, and with the Lifelift I think I will

have an added boost in my immune system not to attack that which it

shouldn't! With MS, the immune system attacks the nerves.

I have Lifelifted myself to relax more and I am sleeping better, and

I fully believe that before this experiment is ever near completion,

(not that I will ever stop), I am sure I am going to be AMAZING.

Very fit for the first time in my life, without overworking my limbs

or over stressing my nervous system. That is one of things that I

love too about Lifelift. My muscles tend to cramp

involuntarily...not that much anymore. I am slowly learning how to

relax and breathe my way to nice loose limber muscles.

Only real question I have at this point, how in the world can you

possibly have to " back " off on the number of breaths you do when you

get to a goal weight? I cannot fathom that I will get to a goal

weight for the first time in my life, AND MAINTAIN IT.

Very beautiful message Virginia!

I'm going to dig up those positive affirmations to help me along.

How has this oxygen managed to make me feel more " together " and more

disciplined??? I would guess the BRAIN benefits the most...and here I

thought my brain was definitely lacking due to MS.

Love to all of you...

I only have about 50LL breaths to go...I usually manage 100 a day.

Hi Rashelle, I love your wonderful attitude and your beliefs about the

destructiveness of anger and other negative emotions. They do sap one of all

health and strength, and are so dangerous and so deadly. It's too bad that most

everyone in this world is afflicted with the terrible disease of anger!!!!

There is far too much anger in this world and far too little love, don't you

agree?

Love always,

Pat

The one the doctor had me start taking was Bio Adreno by Biogenesis. I've

ordered it online. Recently, when I ran out, I took some that was marked down

at our health food store - Adrenogen by Metagenics. I went to another health

food store today and the owner showed me several adrenal supplements. I'm sure

if you go to your local one, you could find one that would likely help. I

believe that the BioAdreno has been the most helpful. It's about $26.00 for

several months worth. If you do a google search, you should be able to find

where you can order it.

Love,

Melinda :o)

Melinda

Hi Melinda,

What did you say the name of the Adrenal supplement was called?

Thanks!

Liz

Hi, Liz - I haven't been doing them before meals the last couple of weeks

because of our activities, but I still start the day doing them and generally do

another set before bedtime. I get at least one set in per day. It keeps me

sane *g*

Love,

Melinda :o)

Melinda

Hi Melinda,

Are you still doing 40 LL breaths before each meal?

Love, Liz

Thanks and ! Congrats to you also. I feel really great. My 1 year appointment is August 7th and I have the honor to meet up with Alpine (my mentor) in Amarillo. We plan our follow up appointments together and always have some fun "girl time." I look forward to hearing about your appointment.

Take Care,

Melinda
