| Dear :
We all know people like Diane Kearns (story below) who is suffering with some sort of chronic pain -- please share this with someone that you care about who is living a life like this. My prayer is to help as many people as God continues to send me. Please help me to spread the news that there is hope for individuals that think there is not. Thank you, Diane, for sharing your story........................
Diane's Story
Have you ever been at your wits end? Have you tried everything known to the modern world? Have you asked countless doctors why these symptoms and pains are plaguing you and there doesn't seem to be anything that can be done? So.... you give up and try to live with what you have. Multiple factors enter into the situation---you become tired of dealing with your pain, you accept that this may be the way things are for the rest of your life, you pray, you shut down mentally just to get by, and you are skeptical when anyone mentions something new that hasn't been tried. Been there, done that!.
My life long best friend asked me on a whim to come and talk to Dr. Val about my pain. I have been suffering from Morton's neuroma (a foot condition that is caused by inflamed nerve endings on the bottom of your feet that burn and feel like you are stepping on sharp needles when you walk. My joints in my knees were giving out due to inflammation and swelling. I could hardly walk (limping) through the day and bending down to pick something up was sheer torture. To kneel was almost impossible unless someone else was in the room to help me up. Climbing the stairs at work was a chore and I would have to mount the stairs numerous times during the day to confer with the boss.
I came to Dr. Val for a footbath and to also see what she may have to say about my persistent pains. After one treatment, the inflammation around my knee was gone and I could stand up without help. I could walk and put pressure on my bad knee without any pain. The bottom of my foot wasn't sore to step. I thought "WOW, this is great" (but still the skeptic that I am) I made another appointment to see if this really worked. To my delight and surprise my knee remained normal for an entire week without so much as a twinge.
I went back the following week for a second treatment and experienced that same wonderful revelation. No PAIN!!! It has been three weeks now with no inflammation, no pain and no swelling. I can walk, jump, climb stairs, bend over and kneel down like I was almost 10 years ago. No more pain meds; no more achy days of torment, just a normalcy that I didn't believe was possible. It really works!
I dare you to try it!

Just need to address a little housekeeping.... When you set up an initial exam at Abundant Life Wellness, it is necessary to send your $50.00 deposit in within 2 days to hold the appointment time. We are only able to hold appointment times open for 48 hours without a deposit. We had to implement this policy because of the "no show" or late cancellations that were frequently occurring. We appreciate you all and this is for mutual respect for both parties (you and us). A reminder that there is a 48-hour cancellation policy for initial exams and 24-hour cancellation policy for all other appointments. No shows for footbath appts. requires us to take a session off of your package because we could have obviously given that appointment time to someone else. Again, we appreciate you all very much. |

Diabetes Drug Linked to Kidney Failure
Three days after approving the Eli Lilly and Amylin Pharmaceuticals drug Byetta as a stand-alone treatment for Type 2 diabetes, the FDA announced that the drug has been linked to kidney damage.
"Health care professionals and patients taking Byetta should pay close attention to any signs or symptoms of kidney problems," said Amy Egan of the metabolism and endocrinology products division.
Byetta (known generically as exenatide) was first approved in 2005 for use in conjunction with other diabetes drugs only if a patient's blood sugar was failing to respond well to primary treatment. In 2007, the drug was linked to an increased risk of acute pancreatitis, a severe and potentially fatal inflammation of the pancreas. Symptoms of the condition include severe abdominal pain, sometimes with nausea and vomiting.
Even when the pancreas is unharmed, Byetta may still cause nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. The latter two conditions may place stress on the kidneys.
"It is thought that the main reason nausea occurs is the effects of Byetta on the stomach," said Richard Hellman of the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. "If someone starts vomiting, they can lower the volume of fluid in their body. If it gets to dangerously low levels, their kidneys could be damaged and kidney failure could take place."
Although diabetes itself is a major cause of kidney failure, FDA reports show that among the 80 percent of patients who stopped taking Byetta after kidney symptoms emerged, 50 percent recovered.
The FDA now recommends that Byetta patients be carefully monitored for signs of kidney dysfunction, and that the drug be used cautiously in those with mild or moderate kidney impairment. The drug should not be used in patients with severe kidney failure.
Remember, there are natural ways to treat diabetes. It does take commitment, cooperation and life-style changes. If you are willing to do your part, a plan can be set up for you. Contact us today to get started on taking charge of regaining your health.

Planning on Flying This Year? Might want to read this first.....
What would happen if the Columbine high school rampage shooters who were psyched out on mind-altering antidepressant drugs had been piloting a jet airliner instead? On Friday, the FAA issued a new rule that says pilots taking psychiatric medications are now allowed to pilot passenger airliners while medicated!
This "permission to fly while medicated" decision by the FAA covers pilots taking the antidepressant psychiatric drugs Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa and Lexapro. Not coincidentally, these are the same drugs that, in the minds of many industry observers, are linked to acts of aggression, suicide and mass murder. People on these drugs may simply lose touch with reality and feel like they're playing out a video game rather than acting out in the real world.
It begs the question: Why is the FAA putting medicated pilots in control of jet airliners? What happens if a psych drug medicated pilot suddenly thinks he's in a video game and aims his Boeing 767 at a civilian target "just for the fun of it?" Or what if he goes raving mad, strangles the copilot and then crashes the jet airliner nose-first into the ground?
While this kind of scenario may seem remote, you have to remember: It only takes one such event to cost the lives of hundreds of air passengers (and perhaps thousands of people on the ground).
Today, air travel is remarkably safe in terms of the number of fatalities per miles traveled. It's far safer than traveling in your car, in fact, and a fair amount of the credit for that safety belongs with the FAA. So why is the FAA now making a decision that seems, on its surface, to endanger the lives of air passengers by allowing psychiatric patients to pilot airplanes?
According to the FAA, the answer is because modern psychiatric drugs have fewer side effects. That seems like a political statement, not a medical conclusion, because the side effects that are experienced by a very small number of psychiatric medication users can be so whacked out that they can pose a very real danger to the lives of those around them. The majority of U.S. school shootings that we've seen over the last 15 years have been carried out by shooters taking psychiatric medications.

Considering an Anti-Depressant??????
I have been totally surprised to find out that 1/3 of my clients have some sort of personal experience with anti-depressants - there is a better way - many have made the choice to walk away from these types of toxic drugs with the specific vitamin/mineral support plan that we put together for them. You really should not attempt to stop these meds without being put on a customized plan dealing with underlying factors or at a very minimum, at least consider the anti-depressant combo here:
I honestly believe the over-prescribing of these drugs is truly spiritual warfare.
