My Return to Health
After 2 1/2 years
of Arthritic Pain

Welcome, if I may I’d like to share with you some of my journey in my return to health. When I was challenged with Rheumatoid Arthritis I learned that it wasn’t only affecting me, but my entire family. Discovering a product called Limu Plus and taking it twice a day not only removed the pain in my joints, it dramatically affected my entire family.

I am a mother of two active boys, and I always enjoyed the sometimes hectic lifestyle we have chosen, having the boys in many sports and activities. I enjoyed this so much that I often coached or participated myself, that is until one day when pain shot through my body so badly that I was unable to continue with any of my regular activities.

I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis , (I call it the “almost death” sentence). As I told my children Rheumatoid Arthritis would not kill me, it will only leave me wishing I were dead each day.

The biggest challenge for me, outside of the pain, was that I didn’t fully understand my condition myself. How could I explain to my family the need to rest all the time, and not wanting company coming over anymore, I was ashamed to let anyone see me!

I was very lucky; my kids took over and helped with everything, even cleaning the house! Some things they enjoyed, like having to turn the ignition key to start the vehicle, I couldn’t do that, so the kids happily jumped in to take over.

They understood that mom couldn’t come out to their sports much anymore because I couldn’t stand for an hour, and, if I sat I couldn’t get back out of the chair when they were done.

On their birthdays I bribed them with money to not have a birthday party, my youngest son said to me later,” Mom please don’t ever do that again, I love my birthday party more than anything I can buy with money”. That hurt, I looked back and realized how much life had changed.

Prior to my having Rheumatoid Arthritis we had parties in our home for almost any occasion; in the summer, outside parties, in the winter we had the best kids party at Christmas, even Santa came, but suddenly that was the past. I couldn’t see where I’d ever have the energy to host parties again.

I saw my happy children including me less and less in their lives and I couldn’t do much about it. I didn’t like it, but I understood. Who would want to be around someone who was in such pain all the time and was less than pleasant most of the time?

Because of the arthritis I got to visit my family doctor once a week to receive a gold injection, I also had the pleasure of visiting the lab weekly to ensure the gold wasn’t affecting my health in a negative way.

I was told by my primary care doctor, and rheumatologist that diet and nutrition had in no way caused this disease, and wouldn't make a difference in recovery. As you read this you will come to see that I am here to tell everyone that this is not so, in fact I urge you to read below a statement made by a Dr. Fuhrman who argues that diet and nutrition not only do make a difference, that there's scientific evidence of this claim.

I took antibiotics daily, celebrex twice a day, advil in the morning if I had to do anything, and Tylenol for Arthritis if I wanted to sleep for an hour or more. Later I was given methotrexate.

When the pain was so bad I couldn’t tolerate it anymore I received cortizone shots. I loved cortizone, it was the only thing that truly made me able to get through a day without pain, I was told it would be safe taking a maximum of 7 shots in a year so I would only take a shot when there was something very special coming up that I felt I needed to attend. Sadly after 7 shots I had problems with my hips and it appeared this was from the cortizone.

The other obvious problem with cortizone was that it reduced my memory to nothing, so people just got used to me forgetting everything. Imagine if you can, receiving a phone call saying that your sons practice has been changed, because of pain in your hands you can’t write, and, because of the drugs you have to take you can’t remember. Makes for many missed appointments, (I used humor and said to people, what can you expect, it’s the blonde thing) inside it was killing me. I did learn to overcome this some because I could still type, so I started typing everything out.

All this time I read everything I could get my hands on about my disease.

I tried everything that sounded reasonable, and many things helped a little. Acupuncture helped to relieve the pain some. Sleeping in casts helped to keep my fingers from bending away from the pain and becoming crooked. Professionally made orthodics reduced the pain in my feet enough that I was able to walk on the entire foot, no longer spraining my ankles all the time.

The confusion came in finding the right nutritional products for me. When I went to the health food store I was told. if you take this you should also have this, and this needs that; I realized that unless I was a scientist I could never put together a program where my body could properly absorb the needed nutrition.

Finally I learned of a high quality nutritional program and the person distributing this product knew from experience what would help my condition most. I was happy, this nutritional program helped me cope and feel much better. In time I even quit with the antibiotics, and the over the counter drugs. Now I was only taking gold injections, and celebrex.

After one year on this program I heard about a health drink that people were claiming had the ability to do all the things that these 22 – 24 nutritional pills did and more.

I hate taking pills and only took them because they helped so much, but if there were a way not to have to swallow pills and still feel good, that would suit me much better.

I was skeptical to say the least, but I trusted the distributor who was telling me about some of the testimonials from people he knew of who were trying this product. And I used some common sense, if this was blended in nature and contained 77 nutrients then I felt that this blend would be in perfect balance. The Tongan People claimed Limu Moui was their 300 year secret to health and longevity. I was very afraid to make a change, and even felt a little foolish trying something new.

My doctor had said, although he doesn’t tell people to take a supplement, it would be crazy for me to ever stop. The first few weeks taking the Limu Plus was testing time, I listened to my body and the distributor who had experience with this product to help find the correct amount for me to take.

After a month I was feeling pretty excited thinking this might work. After 3 months I was very happy. By this time I could play with my children again and I wasn’t cranky all the time. I even stopped the gold injections because I was getting a very bad reaction from them, remaining only on celebrex. More and more often I forgot to take the celebrex, so one day the Rheumatologist said to me, if you think you don’t need it then stop, I stopped.

It was suggested at that time I take methotrexate just to stop the progression of this disease. I began treatment with methotrexate then started researching the side effects and history of this drug. That's when I decided to stop taking methotrexate as well.

I’m happy to say that I have been without any medications for many months now and I am pain free. (Note it is now many years off medication, since October of 2002)

I’ve been taking and sharing Limu since April of 2002. My experience has been that although I got immediate results, the true results come over the course of a year, and who knows maybe next year I’ll feel even better.

I can participate in all my old activities of riding horses, karate, gardening, dancing and playing with the kids again. I’m no longer being left out of my kid’s lives and we’ll never miss another opportunity to have a party.

We are a family again and I will never quit taking Limu Plus , it tastes good, it’s easy to take and most importantly, taking it twice a day gave not only me, but also my family, our lives back.

As an added bonus I have had the great pleasure of sharing with others the life changing effects of Limu Plus and in return I get to see other people’s health challenges fade away, for me that is the most wonderful thing to experience. A way to give back, and, perhaps this is the reason I originally got the disease.

We all have a purpose in life, perhaps mine was helping others and this was the challenge that led me to my purpose.

It was a long 2 ½ years in pain.

In that time I learned so much, mostly I learned that it doesn’t matter how much you plan your life, overnight something can happen that changes everything. How long can you live without an income? Do you have a plan for that?

I now understand the beauty of residual income, work at something today so that if anything happens to prevent you from being able to work you still have money coming in from past efforts. As well, take care of your health today, don’t wait until you have a health challenge, it’s easier to maintain good health than it is to fight your way back to health.

It was my pleasure to share with you my return to health. My hope is that one-day you will be sharing with me your success story from taking Limu Plus or the success of others you have had the pleasure to introduce to this product.

Joel Fuhrman, MD - Author of Eat to Live, Cholesterol Protection, and other nutritional books! at http://www.drfuhrman.com writes "Arthritis sufferers spend more than $1 billion annually on drug treatments. One million new cases are diagnosed every year, and the number is growing. Drugs and surgery are the standard treatments offered by the medical profession without attention to cause or nutrition. The Arthritis Foundation boldly declares in their literature that there is no special diet for arthritis and that food has nothing to do with causing it. Fortunately, there is solid evidence to refute this ill-informed and irresponsible opinion, including hundreds of scientific studies reported in medical journals"
