hope for the hopeless with fibromyalgia
OVERCOMING FIBROMYALGIA, Endometriosis, Candida, and Hypoglycemia by: Amy Sullivan
My name is Amy Sullivan and my story really started as a small child, as most cases of people with Fibromyalgia do. I had a lot of sharp pains in my muscles from time to time, which my parents passed off as “growing pains”. I think it was “junk food” pains, looking back on it. I remember my stomach hurting a lot and having problems with constipation. By the time I was in my early 20’s I had full-blown intense burning pain everywhere. My constipation had turned into diarrhea. I went to 5 different doctors receiving 5 different diagnoses until finally after a myriad of tests that came up negative they diagnosed me with “Fibromyalgia”. I guess when there’s no scientific explanation to over all body pain they just slap the “Fibromyalgia” label on it and drug you up until your no longer living on this earth. I knew drugs weren’t the path I wanted to choose being that my husband and I had been trying to have a baby for a few years. I just knew that there had to be an herb or diet that could help me over come this disease. I tried many diets, including the macrobiotic diet,
Sugar free diets (As I also had hypoglycemia which most people with Fibromyalgia do, along with Candida), and so on…………I went to work in a health food store thinking maybe I could get the inside scoop there. The managers of the store used me as their guinea pig. They gave me all the free product they received from various manufacturing companies trying to see if any of these products did what they claimed they were supposed to do. I got nothing but worse and worse. Finally I ended up in such agonizing pain and so fatigued that I just didn’t even want to move any more. I stayed in bed much of the day (Which is the worst thing you can do with Fibromyalgia). My muscles began to atrophy quite quickly). I got to the place that I became bed ridden and could hardly walk. At that time I had surgery for a severe case of Endometriosis and became pregnant a month later (finally). After realizing I was pregnant, that I had another life growing inside of me and depending on me I decided not to give up hope. I went through physical therapy to rehabilitate just so I could walk again. I started exercising every day. I found a product named Ambertos from a company called Manatec which took away some of my fatigue and seemed to stop the Fibromyalgia from getting worse. But the damage that the disease had done still remained. I tried an herb that is widely used as a cold drug called Guaifenison to treat my Fibromyalgia. The problem with using this herb was that you couldn’t ingest any other forms of herbs or salicylates or use them on your skin because it blocked this herb from being able to work. It made life very complicate and restricted. It flushed much of the Fibromyalgia out of my muscles so I could function normally but I ended up feeling so fatigued and that my body wasn’t getting the nutrition it needed, as I was used to getting these things from natural vitamins and herbs. I felt like “I might be pain free today but die of cancer tomorrow “. That’s where Sunrider came in. My faithful mother in law, Ceci Sullivan, whom I have witnessed having many, many health problems through the years happened to start eating their food. After many months of eating the food she started telling all of her friends and family of her newfound health. She simply didn’t have the health problems she used to have any more and she was experiencing amazing energy. She began looking years younger and many of us were noticing these differences and began to inquire about them. When I first found out that the products weren’t very cheap I lost faith and declined from buying them. I was unable to estimate the value of these concentrated food grade herbs. Many of my other friends and family began to eat the foods also. I saw amazing changes in so many people over the next few months, including weight loss, younger and tighter looking skin, skin rashes disappearing, low blood
Sugar problems going away, people who were balding were growing in new and thicker hair, improvements in PMS, hot flashes, osteoporosis, acid reflux, arthritis, migraine head aches, constipation, and of course Fibromyalgia, and the list goes on.…… I had too many people in my life experiencing such good results from these foods, the truth became hard to ignore.
I finally decided that maybe I could have some faith to purchase a few of these products and try them out for myself (After all, how much is our health worth?). At first I felt GREAT. I had tremendous energy and even some of my pain seemed to be subsiding. Then I began to experience burning pain and stiffness in my joints and muscles. I could feel large painful lumps beginning to form at the surface of my muscles just under the skin. This freaked me out and I immediately discontinued the foods and went right back to the safety of my Guaifenison herb. I told my mother in law I was allergic to the foods and I wasn’t going to take them any more. Her response was that the toxins from the Fibromyalgia hurt going into my muscles and joints and most likely they were going to hurt coming out too. She told me to be patient and just keep taking the products. I thought, “That’s easy for her to say. She doesn’t have to live with the pain I live with”. I kept going back to her and complaining about my health but she kept reflecting the principals of regeneration and kept referring me back to the Sunrider foods. I think I must have tried them about 5 times sporadically, and inconsistently before I decided to bite the bullet and bear through the pain to see if I could some how get to the other side and get well. I realized I needed to eat the foods for a least a month and be very consistent if I was going to be able to test them and reject them in a good conscience. I thought, Why not, there’s a 30 day money back guarantee. Well, the same thing happened. I got the burning pain and lumps all over in my muscles but as I hung in there I began to notice that the lumps were starting to go away. I felt better and better every day. I could always tell when I was cleansing in an area because I would experience a burning feeling there. I could feel a lump just under the skin at first and then over the next few days it was gone. I came to realize that the Calli tea, which is a powerful cleanser was cleansing me from my toxic waste of heavy metals, worms, parasites, yeast, fungus, and all the bad man made chemicals in the foods I had eaten in my past. That’s what the lumps were from. It was pulling out all the toxicity from my muscles to the surface and then cleansing it out to return no more. I went from some one who wouldn’t touch these Sunrider products with a ten-foot pole to a Sunrider addict. No one can take my Sunrider away from me now. I look younger, feel better, and have more energy than I have in years. Which is important to me now that I have three small children I have to keep up with. I am thankful for my mother in law not giving up on me. I feel that God has given me a full and blessed life and I can’t help but tell others of the blessed life that they can have too with Sunrider foods. There is a great scripture in Ex.23 that says something like this. The Angel of The Lord will bring you face to face with your enemies, but if you listen to His Voice He will help you conquer them one by one. And then He promises to bless your bread and water, and take sickness away from your midst. I had to realize God was talking to me, and giving me wisdom and instruction. And when I decided to heed His voice, He has blessed my bread and water, and has taken my sickness away! I’m 31 years old and growing younger with my kids every day! I’m not pining my life away anymore in despair and hopelessness. I have the tools I need now to overcome my adversaries of disease, thank God who always will lead us to triumph if we will let Him.
