You Asked for these Testimonies

You asked for these so here we go GNLD Supplement testimonies
By far and away the most common e-mail we get is do you have any testimonies or what do you recommend for this problem or that problem. So in an effort to supply more independant info after all the theme of this site. We will be adding Gnld supplement testimonies over the next few weeks. Starting with the letter A.
So lets begin.
Acne
Let’s be honest… a woman’s skin (besides hair of course) is so Important to her general outlook and self-esteem. Over a year ago, I was so desperate for a solution for my adult acne that I had subscribed to the Pro-Active skin care line. It worked, the acne was gone, but I found that the regime was too harsh and drying over the course of a year, leaving my skin very ragged and dry. One evening I took a long hard look at my skin.
I admitted that I had to do something else that was not so harsh, and to think of the future of my skin, as I had just hit the 35+ stage of my life. While in California in November 2003, Nada and Tammy had come to my Mom’s to hold an in-house GNLD presentation. They visited with us for 3 days.
During this time I got to use their Nutriance skin care and was immediately impressed by what the products accomplished in so little time. Besides my skin’s acne and an overall dullness, I had a large patch of eczema below the corner of my mouth, and the products reduced it to a small dot in one application… literally!
When I returned to Canada, I asked my husband for the GNLD Nutriance skin care line for Christmas. I have been using the products daily, and have not since even been intrigued by other skin care lines, as this skin care system really does work and does do all the things it promises, too. My skin tone, clarity, texture, and elasticity have been renewed, rejuvenated and the acne and eczema remain at bay even through the most stressful of days.
It has been almost 2 months now, and my lines are certainly less pronounced, as an added bonus. My friends have even noticed my “glow”, and asked what I have been using (something on which I have never been approached before). I have found it my “duty” as it were to buy sachets and hand them out as hostess gifts, February pick-me ups, new Mom gifts for many of my friends… and wouldn’t you know, they are ordering the skin care line too!
GNLD Products work… that is the undisputed message here. With each new product I add, there is just no going back…there are no alternatives even necessary to consider. I have included a picture, it is not a great one, but it does show the improvement in my skin!
Thank you for listening,
Natasha
Alergies
I have been taking GNLD products for many years now. I have definitely noticed that that products have helped to increase my immune system. I have been able to fight off bad colds and the flu for many years now. If I do get sick, it is a mild sore throat that lasts a few days and then is gone. As soon as I have signs of sickness I increase my vitamin c, garlic, vitamin a and antioxidants. This usually does the trick and chases the cold away.
I was also very prone to getting sinus infections. Signs of sinus infections are increased mucus discharge that is first clear and then turns bright green. In the past the only way I could get rid of it was with antibiotics, which I did not like to take.
When I read up on GNLD's Resp-Eleven, it stated that it is helpful for people prone to sinus infections. So I added Resp-Eleven to my program and would start taking it early fall before the cold season hit and right through until late spring.
This past winter I felt a cold coming on and this time it came with signs of an impending sinus infection. The first signs was clear mucus discharge and I knew if I did not take care of myself it could get worse. So I immediately increased my GNLD vitamins. I took extra vitamin c; 6-7 tablets, 3-4 carotenoids, 2-3 flavanoids, 5 vitamin a, 3-4 garlic and in addition 3-4 resp-eleven.
After 3 days I had nipped it in the bud, no sinus infection surfaced and my cold was on it's way out. I knew that the addition of the resp-eleven was my lifesaver here. It helped to fight off the sinus infection. I was so happy.
So I wanted to share this with those of you who may suffer from this problem. Add Resp-Eleven to your winter cold and flu preventative program. You will see the difference.
Resp Eleven other than helping with viral infections is also helpful for those suffering from allergies, hay fever, lung congestion and for people who are around smokers or who smoke.
I have been living in downtown Toronto for 10 years now and I am also an ex-smoker. I walk a lot in the city and am around car pollution every day. I work full time in an office environment and am around many people day in and day out, not just in the office but within the downtown core. People on the subway, streetcar, elevator, gym etc.. So I feel it is very important to keep myself healthy and my immune system high when living this lifestyle.
I feel that without the GNLD vitamins, antioxidants and herbal products I would have problems with lung congestion and breathing and with overall health and I would definitely not be able to fight off all the germs I come into contact with on a daily basis. I will continue taking these superior products from GNLD as they have made a very big difference in my overall health and I am very grateful for that.
Another great tidbit: when you have a sore throat, apart from gargling with warm salt water, open up a GNLD acidophilus capsule and sprinkle it on the back of your throat. The good bacteria help to fight off the bad bacteria in your throat. And it doesn't taste too bad either!
Better health to you all and happy GNLD'ing!

Allergy Testimony
I developed environmental allergies shortly after moving to Mississauga. I had the skin test and found out that I reacted to most of the summertime ones plus mold and dust. Over the years I tolerated the needles, with no positive result. I mouth breath from spring to first frost. Winter was my best friend, although I would get a cold two or three times during the winter. I was taking antihistamines every four hours and in between plus a nose spray without any effect.
On one occasion I had to be treated with steroids for severe sinus problems.
My son introduced me to the GNLD products. Starting on Formula VI and Carotenoids I soon felt more energetic. Within two and one half weeks I realize that I have not taken any antihistamines and its now ten years later, allergies under control and no need for antihistamines. At the time I was also diagnosed with Osteoarthritis Because I was getting on in years I thought this is what life is going to be like. Severe pain in my knees, unable to run, climbing stairs or exercise. To my surprise the joint pains also disappeared, now I can pursue my favorite activities comfortably. Thanks GNLD

Thats a lot of reading lets watch some movies?

Nada May 2006
I have been a distributor for 15 years now and would like to share my story on Allergies..
I suffered from Allergies for years. When I started the GNLD products 15 years ago
(Editor's note) 15 years there people who have been taking these products for 20 - 25 - 30 - 35 - 40 and yes 45years. Thats a testimony in its self.
…I could not believe it…my allergies improved to a level where I did not need to use anti histamines!!!!!!!!!!
I used anti histamines year round…and really depended on them for sinus relief..
The products that really helped boost my immune system were Tre en en, Nourishake Carotenoid Complex, Beta Gest and Enzmes. With my meals, and acidophlus 2 a day.. By improving my digestion I was able to utilize the nutrients in my diet much better and get the yeast under control!!!!!!!!!!! I also used the Resp Eleven, which just helped relieve some of the symptoms. I would take them if going to someone’s home that I knew had cats… and in the morning for I found after waking up in the morning I was congested and the R Eleven helped with that…
I felt great….did not use antihistamines…and used the R eleven instead.. I was still a little sensitive to cats and still would take my R eleven when going to someone’s home that had cats…. but something amazing happened…
One year ago…I listened in on a conference call from one of our Scientists…Dr. Sheppard….and his talk was on Allergies…his first product on the list was BETA GUARD!!!!!!!!!! He stressed how it detoxified the body and would help get
allergies under control…
Well guess what….I took the Beta Guard…have been for one year now…and WOW…I SLEPT OVER AT A FRIENDS HOME…AND SLEPT WITH TWO BIG HAIRY CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I FORGOT TO TAKE MY R ELEVEN!!!!!!!!
Arthritis
“I like to thank you for giving me a product that makes me feel like I have got second chance to live. As you know that last year about this time I couldn't walk around. There was no medication from the doctor that could help with my arthritis pain. Nothing helped me but GNLD. I have gained a lot of energy and that helps me moving around. Today I feel almost no pain. Thanks again and say Hi to everyone at your next get together.”
Regards, Harry
Just a note. Harry was in so much pain and handicapped with his Rheumatoid arthritis that he was unable to work in his mechanic’s business for months when we first met. After hearing a presentation he was ready to go on a good program. This included, Formula IV Plus, Nourishake, Digestive Aids, Salmon oil, and Multimineral Supplement. Harry called me a few weeks later and he said how much better he was feeling, you could even tell from his voice. A couple of weeks later I saw him again at a Don Lawson event. WOW he looked great!
Some reasearch results on
Antioxidants ease arthritis symptoms
B-complex aids arteries According to a report in the New England Journal of Medicine, taking B vitamins after angioplasty makes you about half as likely to have re-narrowing of the arteries.Researchers had 205 angioplasty patients take either B vitamins (folic acid, B-6 and B-]2) or a placebo pill for six months after the invasive treatment. Only 19.6% of those taking the B vitamins had further artery narrowing, compared to 37.6% of those on the placebo. The American Heart Association now A ntioxidants are now known to benefit / ^ several "aging conditions," including JL JLheart disease, cataracts and poor immunity. According to two recent studies, people with arthritis may also benefit from these free radical-fighting nutrients, which include selenium, an essential trace element, and vitamins A, C and E.
At Alexandria University in Egypt,researchers added antioxidants to the standard medical treatment of patients with rheuma- toid arthritis. In this trial,30 people were divided into three groups of 10. Group I received stand-) ard medical treatment only.
Groups II and III received standard treatment plus either an antioxidant combina-tion or 400 mg of vitamin E.
Within the first month, the antioxidant groups showed noticeable improvements in their symptoms. The control group, taking the standard ments by the end of the second month. By the end of the trial, test results for groups 11 and III indicated better control of the disease.
These clinical improvements indicated to the researchers that complementing standard treatment with antioxidants is worthwhile.
In Kiel, Germany, a group of researchers studied the impact of vitamins A, C, E and selenium on osteoarthritis in mice. The mice were fed a diet rich in vitamins A,C, E, B-2, B-6 and selenium, while a control group was not supplemented. After one year, the mice were tested for changes in the disease. The control group still had osteoarthritis lesions while the supplemented test mice had decreased osteoarthritis incidence by 65%. The researchers concluded that supple- menting with vitamins and selenium may be important in the prevention or therapy of osteoarthritis.

More testimonies
Arthritis
Sheila , London, ON This testimonial is from a good friend of mine, Sheila. As you will hear, Sheila has had tremendous results by using GNLD’s products and I know how important it was for her to share this information with you all. Michele.
My name is Sheila,
Approximately 14 years ago I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. It struck me extremely quickly. This was just a year before I was to get married. I was so sick and crippled up that my partner had to at times carry me to the washroom, help in and out of bed and I had to take a leave of absence from work. I am not an unhealthy person by nature. Just previously that winter, I was down hill skiing. I also worked out regularly and ate properly. So you can imagine how devastated I was when everything started to fall apart.
I was so desperate to get myself better I tried just about everything the doctors could give me. Which in fact, were doing more damage to other parts of my body. I finally went to a natural path. For 1 year, I completely changed my diet, was hardly eating anything, and was placed on a number of so called supplements (alot were isolates) to replace the foods taken out of my diet.
I ended up losing 20 pounds and in the hospital.
This was not the route to take. I just went back to taking what the doctor told me to, but still kept looking for something that could help.
Two years later I was at a baseball tournament, when I was talking with my new friend Michele about my arthritis. She at that time, had just been introduced to the GNLD products and had said that she knew of something that may be able to help me. At this point I said, “OK, what have I really got to lose? Just a whole lot of pain.”
At first I was just taking Salmon Oil, which for me took about six months to really notice any difference.
After my first son was born, Michele had an in home presentation with Nada, at which time I was able to really see why it had taken so long for the Salmon Oil to work. My body was too messed up from all the medications that I had taken for the last few years, that most of my natural enzymes had been destroyed and I was unable to utilize all the benefits of the oil at first. Nada and Michele very quickly put me on a proper program, at which time I was getting much better results.
I soon began to wean myself off of my medications, much to my doctor’s disapproval. (I thought, “Hey these are my liver and organs you’re playing with you know.”) For the last 5 years of my life I have been completely medication free. Friends and family have seen the benefits of what the GNLD products have done for me. I will never be cured of this disease, or live without some discomfort from it, however I am giving myself a fighting chance at a better quality of life.
I now down hill ski again, work out and play with both of my boys, which I never thought I would have been able to do 15 years ago when I could barely walk. GNLD for my family and me is an everyday part of our lives. I have taken these products now for just over
10 years.
So, for those of you who may think that the products are a quick fix and will cure all problems instantly, that isn’t usually the case. I have experienced that it will take some time to get results. Just remember what you’ve done over the years to get to where you are, and realize it may take some time to get back to where you want to be! Just be persistent! The results are great!
Here is an update on Sheila’s results with GNLD’s products. She has rheumatoid arthritis and had suffered with severe food allergies for many years. Sheila has shared her story on her results with her arthritis in the past. She manages her condition without the aid of medication because of these results.
"I take - Formula IV Plus, Carotenoicf Complex, Cruciferous Plus, Flavonoid Complex, Vitamin E, B-Complex, Cal-mag, AII-C, Garlic, Salmon Oil (2/day), Betagest, Enzymes, and my Nourishake everyday. If my knees are bothering me, which is hardly ever, I'll take more Salmon Oil.
I may take additional digestive aids if I'm eating something I know will bother me. I think you may find this interesting, I can now eat soya products without having a reaction. I drink only soya milk which I could never do 10 years ago or I ended up in the hospital. I can now have tofu without a reaction. I can each chicked peas and a lot of other legumes I could never touch. If I'm afraid I might have a reaction I take Enzymes and Betagest and I don't have any reaction. But remember this is only in the last year or two , it's taken me this long with the digestive aids to get where I am today." (note: Sheila has been using GNLD's products for over 9 years now)
Arthritis and whole bunch of other stuff.
In the summer of 2003 I was introduced to GNLD nutritional supplements by my friend, Joanne. At that time I wasn't really interested in other products as I was already taking numerous vitamins/supplements and had been for about 20 years. However, since March 2003 I had been on medication for high cholesterol and a hiatus hernia. I also had arthritis in my right knee, back problems and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). My parents had started having some of these problems in their late 70's and here was in my late 40's which worried me.
After learning about the scientists involved with the company, studies done, along with the company's dedication in teaching others about nutrition and the prevention of disease and the difference with the GNLD products, I was very impressed. Even though I was still a bit skeptical, I thought I "needed" to give the products a try .
I started on the Formula IV Plus and
Nourishake
for energy, along with their heart program (lipotropic adjunct, garlic, Vit.E). Within a couple of weeks I felt a big difference with my energy level and after about 8 wks. my cholesterol went from 6.61 down to 3.85. My LDL had gone from 4.52 down to 1.85 so I was ecstatic to have my doctor take me off of the statins because I knew that statins are not good for you.
For my arthritis in my knee and back pain I started taking salmon oil and could not believe the difference from anything else I had previously tried. I started with five to six salmon oil/day and now take only two/day.
I also had serious digestive problems which eventually over the years had lead to a hiatus hernia and more medication. Through GNLD I have learned so much about how our digestive systems really work.I realized that my digestive system probably hadn't worked right for about 20 years because for years after a meal I would always feel so and I got to the point where even having just one glass of wine would cause me to have pain in my chest. Since starting to take GNLD's beta gest, digestive enzymes and acidophilus for the hernia and IBS I no longer have to take medication. I can even enjoy a glass of wine. I don't go anywhere without my digestive enzymes.
My 11 year old daughter takes the vitasquares (multivitamin) along with a protein Nourishake. I feel good knowing that she is getting good nutrition before going off to school. She also takes one acidophilus/day which has really helped with a constipation problem when other stuff didn't. She also takes one carotenoid complex to help boost her immune system so as long as she faithfully takes her vitamins she seems to be able to fight off whatever is going around.
I have learned so much about the GNLD difference in that their products are natural and
100% organic whole food and not synthetic.
My only regret is that I hadn't known about these products 20 years ago.
Now that I have used the products and know just how beneficial they are, I want to share them with everybody. Once I started to share the products, before I knew it I was starting to build a business. A no-risk business. There is tremendous "job satisfaction" in knowing that you have helped someone to change their life as we all know there is nothing more important than good health.
Amen to that last comment. thats it for a's people I have
several hundred more but these I think give you a climpse of were we are coming from.
University of Arizona (UA), Reasearch on Vitamin ASharing this information from the Health Science Institute (HSI) E-Alert newsletter. Very interesting. Pure Vit. A is okay. It is the synthetic Vit A that causes toxicity. One has to know the science behind the supplements we put in our bodies to make sure that nothing synthetic is passed off as the real thing. To your continued good health. Sharon
Dear Reader,
If you live just a few miles north of Quito, Ecuador, the equator may run right through your back yard. In that case, you probably get enough daily sun exposure to qualify as one of the least vitamin D deficient people on Earth.
The downside: You might easily get too much sun.
Last week, in the e-Alert "No Shrinking Violet" , I told you about research that indicates the amount of sun exposure we need in order for the body to manufacture adequate amounts of vitamin D. And in that same e-Alert I noted the three nutrients that relieve stress to the skin (vitamins C and E, and folic acid) and could even help prevent the development of skin cancer.
But for many, the time for initial precautions long passed; those sunburns they experienced as children in Ecuador, or Phoenix, or Miami, or any spot on the globe where sunshine is abundant, laid the groundwork for precancerous lesions. For these folks the nutrients mentioned above are still very important. But if another vitamin is added, there's a chance that skin cancer can still be avoided.
When skin is damaged by occasional sunburns the stage is set for the development of actinic keratoses (AK) later in life. AK shows up as lesions that are precursors of the two most common types of cancer: nonmelanoma squamous cell or basal cell cancer. More than a million new cases of these cancers are diagnosed in the U.S. every year.
But a new study demonstrates that if you're one of the millions who have AK skin damage, you may substantially lower your risk of developing skin cancer by increasing your intake of vitamin A.
In the journal Clinical Cancer Research, scientists at the Arizona Cancer Center, University of Arizona (UA), note that a previous study conducted at UA showed that vitamin A supplements significantly reduced the risk of squamous cell skin cancer in patients with moderately severe AK. The vitamin A dose used in that study was 25,000 IU. So the UA team designed another study to test higher doses for both safety and efficacy. Nearly 130 subjects with severely sun-damaged skin on their forearms were divided into four groups to receive daily doses of 25,000, 50,000, or 75,000 IU of vitamin A, or a placebo. Biopsies were conducted on the damaged skin of each patient before the study period began, and again one year later at the end of the study.
The effects of vitamin A supplementation were dramatic: • Placebo subjects: 25 percent had less skin damage when their pre-test and post-test biopsies were compared • 25,000 IU subjects: 65 percent had less skin damage • 50,000 IU subjects: 81 percent had less skin damage • 75,000 IU subjects: 79 percent had less skin damage Needless to say, the researchers concluded that 50,000 IU of vitamin A is the maximum daily dose required for the most effective protection for sun-damaged skin. No significant toxic reactions were reported in any of the four groups.
It's an A thing Vitamin A is essential to the health of your eyes, bones, skin and immune system. Growth and healing also benefit from the antioxidants that this key vitamin supplies. Here are some vitamin A basics: • Fruits and vegetables with orange and yellow coloring, and green leafy vegetables contain beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A • The body poorly converts beta-carotene into vitamin A • The best source of vitamin A is animal products, such as eggs and liver • Cod liver oil is an excellent natural source of vitamin A • The problems with vitamin A toxicity are associated with supplements of synthetic vitamin A taken in high doses Studies show that smokers with a high intake of beta-carotene are at greater risk of developing lung cancer. As for just about everyone else, it's almost impossible to overdo vitamin A consumption, according to HSI Panelist Allan Spreen, M.D. In fact, Dr. Spreen tells me there are only about two-dozen recorded cases of people who took too much vitamin A and suffered any distress whatsoever. Dr. Spreen suggests that 10,000 IU of beta-carotene vitamin A per day is adequate for most people.
If you have questions about vitamin A, consult with your doctor or a dependable nutritionist to determine a dosage that's right for you.
