Guest guest Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hi Bonnie, When I hooked up with Jo-Anne on November 20 2007 she had been pretty crippled but not with polio, with fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and IBS. She still had a cane and brace, but had recently got rid of her scooter, probably due to learning something at the fibromyalgia support club she started in Merritt BC, which led to her changing her diet a little for a couple of years. She still had fibromyalgia symptoms including periodic crashes from overwork but she was toughing it out in pain the next day. Right from the start I put her on a few nutritional and anti-aging supplements that I discuss on-list, including SomaLife gHP for the first 1.5 years. I got rid of three boxes of crappy carbs -- noodles and hamburger helper -- out of her cupboard, and started her on a real food and low carb diet. Then I pushed for getting her off work as well as the hotel chambermaid when she had to move furniture during their big reno push; it was resulting in her working in fibro pain the next day, with no opportunity for relief. Her hip and knee (osteoarthritis often goes with fibro and bowel issues) were still bothering her off and on a year later when she got rid of the cane and the brace. She has xrays and the doctors advice on the osteoarthritis in 2006 was that it was degenerative. But she got wanded during the Amega demonstration in Duncan on May 6 2010 and that pain went away. Jo's second SomaLife program will last 8 months, by the fifth month she had taken physical part time work again as apartment manager and caretaker/custodian for a three-story walk-up with no sign of either hip or knee pain or a fibromyalgia crash after three months. Looks like a clean slate except for some lingering bowel issues that we want a celiac disease test for. I think we found just the right amount of exercise to keep Jo fit, and she's obviously responding very well to anti-aging, still getting firmer, losing fat, obviously becoming younger and enjoying it. Poor Jo-Anne nothing!
