Last year, January
2016, I was admitted for emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder. I had a huge gallstone, and apparently it was
occluded. I had actually known about the
stone for about a dozen years. It had
been asymptomatic all that time. However, there I was having emergency
surgery! I did not recover well from the
surgery. I ended up back in the hospital
something like four times over the next several months because of severe pain
in my abdomen.
In
January 2017, I was hospitalized for 2 1 /2 weeks, I had a severe urinary tract
infection, very high blood pressure (HBP) and had experienced several small
strokes. I came home on 4 prescriptions
for HBP. However, I felt certain that
God was going to give me a way out of this.
I’m an “alternative health writer,” and I really prefer the natural
approach to things. Usually I have very
adverse reactions to medications. Within
a couple of weeks Elsa Moss, the mother of one of our camp’s volunteers, (my
husband is the caretaker of a Bible camp), contacted me about Plexus. At first, I thought I knew what she was
talking about, then it dawned on me that I really didn’t. I had been having the worst food allergies of
my life, and my acceptable foods list was just a handful of items. Elsa (E)
and her ladies, (up-line),
were able to help me through this and get me started. E sent me a bottle of
Probio5,(on March 22, 2017), and I was counseled to start at ¼ to ½ capsule,
opened because of my sensitivity to rice (in the capsules) and what they felt
was the severity of my candida infection. I had actually been treated for candida by two
different doctors (ND and an allergist) and had done a lengthy self-treatment
-- NONE of which worked. I have been aware that I have candida since I
was a young adult, so what they were telling me made a lot of sense!
I did start slowly, as they suggested,
and began to experience pretty harsh die-off symptoms. My belly got huge! Seriously, it was as big as I was when I was
very pregnant with my 3rd child nearly 18 years ago, wearing a size
13 underwear!
Initially,
I was having severe trouble with my eyes being very sensitive and red, and I
had a very severe case of athlete’s foot.
I had huge blisters on my feet! I
could hardly even walk they were so painful!
I continued to take my Probio5 and use some essential oils for comfort,
and within a few weeks my feet were clear.
My eyes are improving.
Another
improvement I have noticed early on was the Lyme disease symptoms I had been
experiencing (It was discovered that I had Lyme disease in my system by my
natuopath last year.) The major
identifying factor was that I was running a sometimes quite high fever, (before
Plexus!) Even several weeks into the
candida “treatment” I was still experiencing fevers, but not anything like what
they were before. Now, I don’t have them anymore!
I’ve now
been on the full Triplex for several weeks, (a little over 2 months.) I was able to add in the other products at
about 4 weeks into my Journey. Previously,
I had been unable to try them because of my allergies. It seemed like there was something in just
about every product Plexus had to which I was allergic! However, at that point I felt I could add the
Biocleanse, which helped me immensely with eliminating. Also, E sent me a sample of the previous
formulation of Slim. I really liked
it! It really helped me to eliminate
better. It also gave me energy. I also added in the Ease product to help with
my pain which was mostly in my spine. I
have severe osteoarthritis and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. My doctor also thinks I fit the profile for
MS, but I’m unwilling to undergo any further testing. I’m also unwilling to take anymore
medication!
As I’ve
progressed on this current Candida cleanse, (using Probio5), I have mostly
experienced severe bloating, as I mentioned, and very intense itching just
about everywhere. However, I’m beginning
to have some REAL SOLID results! As soon
as I added the Nerve product, about 2 weeks ago, after just 2 capsules I began
to have feeling in my big toe. It had
been completely numb since I had the small strokes at the beginning of the
year. My hair is beginning to come in
thicker – I had been losing hair by the handful after I came home from the
hospital in January of this year. Now I
hardly shed at all! My nails are growing
really quickly too. I’ve lost about 6#
and at least a couple of sizes VERY recently.
I’ve mostly been able to cut out the pain medication from the
doctor. I’ve been using the Ease
product, as needed, for the pain.
Just a
few days into the Candida cleanse, I had immediate results with my
thyroid/adrenal glands. I’d had testing
done several years ago and I showed a marked adrenal insufficiency. I’ve been taking natural products for them,
(pretty expensive!), for the past couple of years. Within a matter of days, I had to stop those
supplements because I had way too much energy!
I was jittery all day when I used them and I had plenty of energy when I
didn’t. I also don’t need naps most of
the time, and when I do; I have to limit them or I don’t sleep at night. I can only manage about 7 hours of sleep,
which was my norm in college and when my children were young and I was actively
writing books. Also, as evidence that my
thyroid is functioning better, my eyebrows are beginning to fill out.
I’ve had
an open sore in my nose since I had surgery to repair it at least a dozen years
ago. It’s actually healed. That, also, only took a very short time to
heal once I started the Probio5.
I know
not everyone is on the lookout for something to help them get well, but I
was. Even though I’ve had several
Candida treatments in my adult life, (this was the 4th!) This is the first one that is actually
working. I can tell because of all of
these things above that I have listed.
I’m so thankful to E for sharing about Plexus with me!
