HAVE YOU HEARD OF ISAGENIX?

I was introduced to Isagenix one year ago by my friend Gilles, who is a healthy 50 year old who has the physical stamina of a 30 year old, or even younger. He doesn't have issues with food, since he does not live to eat, but eats to live.

It's not really his fault. He was raised by a mother who made sure that her children ate healthy foods, which did not include sugar. His three sisters, also share the same philosophy on food, and are all very healthy and vibrant. Besides that, they have great genetics on both sides, since many family members live to over 100. The family was introduced to the Isagenix line of nutritional products through one of the sisters, who swore by them. Pretty soon the whole family including aunts, uncles and cousins were consuming the products.

Gilles, being in such great form, I decided to follow suit, and started with the cleanse program, which included Ionix Supreme, a potent mixture of botanicals from as far away as the Himalayas, very high in complex B vitamins, that I soon became ''addicted'' to, because it calmed me down. You can choose to take it in the morning for stimulation or at night before bed for relaxation. The complex B vitamins nourish the nervous system.

In the '70's John Anderson, the founder and product formulator, made extensive plant tissue studies in organic soil, at which time he discovered ionic minerals. In the 1980's he translated his knowledge to the nutritional field and worked for more than 600 private label manufacturers including GNC, Nature's Sunshine, MetRX, and produced over 2300 products over his career.

In 1997 he was bitten by a brown recluse spider, which required nine surgeries and one month's hospitalization. The toxins became systemic by entering into his bloodstream and circulating through his organs damaging his kidneys and eyesight.

He travelled to India, Nepal and other places looking for plants with certain properties. He found Shilajit in Nepal. He was specifically looking for the raw materials in India and Nepal to help his eyesight and eliminate the toxins in his organs. He was already retired and just wanted to heal himself, and share his findings with his friends and family. Little did he know....

Is there a silver bullet in these products - one raw material that would sweep the country? No, the silver bullet does not exist in one ingredient but in the system of ingredients. You have to cleanse the toxins out and restore micro nutrients to the body. The ''bullet'' is in more than 200 ingredients.

90 - 95% of body functions are dependent on minerals and rare earth elements. Only 5 - 10% of the body is dependent on vitamins. These minerals and rare earth elements were abundant 50 - 100 years ago, but are not today.

As someone in the health industry, John knows how difficult it is for us to nourish ourselves properly, confusing health and nutrition. His goal was to create great products without compromise. His plan was to put together a few really good raw materials to get rid of unwanted toxins, boost the immune system, and put the body back in a state where it can function the way it's supposed to. He wanted the body to be in a place where it is regaining health. We breathe toxic air, drink toxic water, and eat toxic food. The body is healing itself because it's given the ability to cleanse itself and put its function back in the right place.

Since joining the BFC program, I have become more aware of my health, and have decided to take care of it, by cleansing and consuming the vitamins and minerals my body needs. In the field of nutrition, I believe that the Isagenix products are top of the line, and I wanted to share my finding with you.

Maybe you know someone who already uses their product line. You can find their line of nutritional products on the calorie counter web site.
