Hey guys –
 
I have another vitality story!!!  I'm super excited!
 
I wanted to tell you what happened to me today at the chiropractor's office…
 
I have been going to Dr. Hayes for years and years for a chronic back problem. (I actually have seen several chiropractors, but I like him the best!)  I have to see him multiple times per month because I have constant back pain that just doesn't go away and if I try to "skip" appointments, I end up in such bad shape that it's not worth it.  He knows that I have been on the Vitality pills, and I even gave him a bottle, but he has been a skeptic and has really dismissed them (and I don't think he ever took one pill).    The last couple of times I have gone in he has made comments about my back being a little better, but he wouldn't get too excited because he was sure I would relapse.  Last time he let me go 2 ½ weeks (really long for me) before my next appointment "just to test it".   Today was that appointment!  As he was adjusting my back he said "Your back is acting more and more like a normal person's back instead of the chronic mess you usually are.  The inflammation in your spine is almost completely gone. It must be those magic mushroom things you're taking!  Do they have anti-inflammatory properties?"  I, of course, said "YES!!!" and told him that I have been off of Advil for the past six-eight weeks.  He was actually impressed!!  He's letting me go three weeks until my next appointment and then if I still check out – I get to go for a month!!!  WOW!!!  For me that is unheard of!  I'm totally psyched!
 
Keep taking the pills!!  I don't dare stop!

Subject: My feet

Hi Dad!
 
Ok!  I took the picture of my feet this morning before I got in the shower so you could see the difference.  Here are the details of what I did:
 
I ordered NuSkin's Sole Solutions and started using it on my feet about two weeks ago, and then realized that I should only use it on one foot so that I could tell if there was much of a difference.  (I failed to do this on my face – I wish I had a before and after photo of that improvement!)  Anyway, I stopped using it on my right foot and only used it on my left foot every night and sometimes in the morning.  You can see from the picture that there is a huge difference!!  My feet get so dry and yucky – and this is winter – when my feet are at their best because I keep shoes on. 
 
I always gets pedicures and have tried to keep my feet soft with whatever is out there.  I have used stuff from Bath and Body Works, I have ordered stuff online, I have used this yucky orange stuff (can't remember the name) and I goop Eucerin on in the summer.  However, most of them didn't work at all.  The Eucerin worked a little but I didn't like to use it because it is so greasy and I would have to wear socks to bed to keep the sheets from getting oiled up.  This stuff is great.  It absorbs in so I don't have to wear socks and if I put it on in the morning my feet don't feel slicked up inside my socks.  I rub the extra on my elbows and they are nice and soft, too.  Marty's comment was that I wasn't scratching up his legs at night anymore! 
 
Anyway!  Love it!  It's not expensive and the tube is pretty big so it will last a while.
 
You should get some!
Tayva

Hi Guys!
 
When Nate came home from Ethiopia in December, he tried to get in to see a neurologist because he was having debilitating headaches again and his rheumatoid arthritis had been acting up badly.  His rheumatologist, Dr Mathews, tried to get him scheduled for an MRI but he was here during the holidays and we couldn't get it done.  The only thing that would help his headaches was very strong pain meds like Lortab or Percocet and his doctors were not willing to give him more than a few of those pills so he had to go back to Ethiopia with no answers to his headaches.  I started him on Vitality (December 16) while he was here and made him promise me that even if he didn't feel immediate results, he would continue to take them until I saw him in April.  I bug him constantly about taking them, and he told me that he does and that he "thinks" they make a difference, he was feeling good, but wasn't sure if it was the pills or something else.  THEN , in  a February 22 email from him, this is what he told me:
 
"I've been taking your "magic" pills just like I'm supposed to - but I left 2 of my bottles up here in Addis and I ran out at the farm, and I can tell you there is a big difference! I'm on them again (started as soon as I got to Addis) and I'm starting to feel better again."
 
YAE!!!!  I don't know how many days he was off the pills before he started again, but he had been on them for two months, then stopped when he ran out. Then this morning, I got a short little email from Kidist, his girlfriend.  Before he came home she was VERY worried about his headaches.  She is a nurse and begged me to get him to a doctor – which was next to impossible.  Anyway, she constantly updates me about his "headache condition".  I got this in my email this morning:
 
"Nate is fine and he works good and still he haven't headache it is a really nice him feel good everyday. So don't worry about him a lot. He take your pills."
 
I know I probably bug all of you about taking Vitality, but the longer I'm on it, the better I feel and my chiropractor has noticed too!!  I saw him again on Tuesday and he said this is the best I've been in the ten years he's been treating me!  No inflammation in my spine!  (Some of you know that story!) Anyway – keep taking it!  Be consistent – take it every day and if you're not sure – keep taking it every day!  You will feel it!  Marty slept for 7.5 hours last night – no sleeping pills!!  Sleeping on his own more than 3 hours is a MIRACLE for him – and that happens most nights (not 100% but probably 90% -- it's much more natural than taking Ambien!)
 
Anyway, I love to hear all about your successes too.  Thanks for telling me about them (I would share, but don't want to pass on info without your permission!) 
 
Love you guys!
