What Laurie knows

Laurie is not a scientist. Laurie is not a physician. Laurie does not own stock in a drug company, nor does she carry a chip on her shoulder regarding "traditional" medicine. Laurie does not pre-judge a food product based upon her assumptions that it can't possibly work as medicine. Laurie trusts one who has had an experience, then trusts her own intelligence as she reads the information regarding the nutritional products she has bought. Laurie opens her box of products with excitement, anticipation, and an open mind.
Laurie called me yesterday, after incorporating the nutritional cleansing, fat burning, and replenishing products into her life for one month. She was very excited.
For a long time now, Laurie has struggled, as many of us do, with some "excess baggage" around her middle and thighs. She's struggled worse with a burning sensation every time she eats, which is worse if she drinks coffee. This condition got so bad that her physician prescribed a very strong medication which prohibits the stomach from pumping acid. At all, I mean. Stomach acid, in its normal function, assists with the digestion process. So, for these years, how many of the foods Laurie has been consuming have passed through her system partially digested? We will never know. The burning and "gurgling" (as she describes it) have been nearly intolerable.
Laurie knows something. She knows that after her first cycle on these products her doctor took her off that medication that stops her stomach from pumping acid, and she knows that she feels better than she has in years. She now digests food normally, and what's happening inside her is that she's creating an alkaline environment (read healthy) rather than that horrible acid environment that scientists know is highly cancer-friendly. She can enjoy food. She can enjoy going out with her husband and (gasp) having a cup of coffee.
Laurie knows that the 21st Century food technology known as Isagenix has turned her life around. She has seen the pounds melt away. She has felt the surge of energy. She asked me if I was aware that being on these food products and the nutritional cleanse causes a decrease in cravings for certain foods. I told her that I'm well aware of that, since jordan almonds and licorice bites no longer tempt me! You see; Laurie knows that 83% of Americans are overweight, and of those many are obese. She knows that we need nutritional assistance in this day and age to get to the root of that problem and solve it, once and for all.
She looks, sounds, and acts differently now.
Laurie's call to me came at an absolutely perfect time. Murphy's Committee, those "helpful" souls who would cast discouragement on anything outside their own comfort zone, is hard at work to dissuade. Murphy's Committee will find themselves defeated; drowned out by truth, experience, and passion.
What Laurie knows, is that life tastes good, and being nourished all the way down to your last cell feels wonderful. Laurie knows. And she's so ready to help others know too. One of the things I thought, as I hung up from talking to her, was - what if I had been "too shy" or felt like it was an intrusion to introduce these products to her? She'd be looking at turning 50 with 25 extra pounds around her middle, a horrible medical condition, and no energy. Now we can celebrate our 50th birthdays together, having found a new friend, and shared a phenomenal health experience.
Laurie knows that she'll nourish her body with the Isagenix products for life.
