As if to further confirm prayers and to give added direction, Janice called me out of the blue on the morning of Thursday, March 16. She said that the Reliv people she personally knows that deal with curing cancer suggest 3 shakes a day containing 2 scoops each of ReversAge in addition to the 6 shakes of SoySentials I am taking. The advice is to take ReversAge on an empty stomach:
1) when I get up in the morning;
2) when I go to sleep
3) when I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
Reliv has people in their organization who are called "Ambassadors." This means they've worked very hard in building up a business around Reliv products to the point where they are now sent by Reliv all over the nation (world?) to train and teach others. (Janice Z just became an Ambassador last month.) Several of these people host conference calls throughout the week. The calls last for about 45 min - 1 hr and really, anyone can listen in. Some of these calls concentrate on just teaching you how to build your business but some of them do that and have people share their successful health stories, and host a question-and-answer period. Tonight's call would feature a former oncology nurse, Wendy, and her husband, Greg.
Greg's story is that he'd been on Reliv for 3.5 years before he and his wife of 20 years were in a fatal accident. The crash took his wife's life outright and left him with multiple brain injuries and in a coma. His family prevailed (heavily!) upon the hospital staff to allow him to receive his Reliv formula through his feeding tube. The doctors’ consensus was that if he lived, he'd be a vegetable. When he did 'wake up' a couple of weeks later, he was totally, physically whole. Though he'd formerly had a solid aversion to net marketing companies (such as Reliv), he now had a new focus and dedication. The result was that he eventually met Wendy (who was a Reliv distributor) and they were married.
Wendy's story: As an oncology nurse for many years, she was one day giving a class to about 30 women on self-breast examination when she felt a lump. She had it immediately taken care of: lumpectomy, radiation, chemotherapy, and tamoxifen. After her treatments, she was given an excellent prognosis for future health re: cancer. That might have been true, she said, but thereafter, "I had no quality of life." She experienced fibromyalgia, a 'hundred' hot flashes a day and night sweats, migraines, and sleeplessness. She said she tried everything to lessen her distresses including Young Living, all kinds of tea, etc. A friend of hers kept encouraging her to try Reliv and she kept putting her off. (For one thing, her doctor advised against it.) Finally, the friend said in exasperation, "You'll try everything under the sun except something that can really help you!" Well, to satisfy her friend, Wendy tried it. Within a short time (2-3 months), her migraines were gone for the most part as were the hot flashes. After more time had passed, her other distresses had measurably subsided.
When the question and answer period came at the end of the conference call, I asked about soy. According to some reports, soy might act negatively against the medications (chemotherapy & tamoxifen) that are supposed to be saving your life. She said in response that there hasn't been definitive scientific studies to confirm or deny that premise; that a lot depends on the quality of the soy product and how the product interacts with the body; that taken in balance with other (Reliv?) products, it can be effective and helpful. She said, "At my last check-up (it's been 10 years since I've had breast cancer), my doctor said, "Just for the record: you were right (about Reliv) and I was wrong."
Wendy's closing comment was, "Sometimes you just have to use 'uncommon sense.’ "
