Glconutrients Gave Me My Life Back In My 80's

I feel very impressed to pass onto you my experiences of very bad health which caused me much pain and suffering for at least twenty years.

During that time in my life I was in and out of hospital several times a year and prescription drugs seemed to be of little help due to side effects that caused me more health problems than they solved.

Back in 1989 I had open-heart surgery for a blockage in one of my main coronary arteries. Eight days after my surgery to bypass the the blockage, the graft blocked off. I was still in hospital recovering and absolutely devastated that I had gone through a serious operation like that and ended up no better off. In fact, I was even worse off.

The prognosis delivered at my bedside by my Doctor was not good. I was told that I could either have a heart attack or a stroke at any time and that apart from some medication there was nothing further that could be done for me.

As soon as I was able to leave hospital I was sent home and the future looked bleak, to be honest, I didn't feel as though I had a future. I was 66 years old at that time and I thought that I should have been able to count on many more good years to come. I felt as though the rug had been pulled out from under me, I was depressed and to be honest with you, a little frightened too.

Unfortunately, hospital stays became more frequent with severe attacks of angina and my general health was declining. Around that time I began to suffer from Gastritis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome which caused me internal bleeding. Prescription drugs did not seem to help me control these conditions and finding food that I could comfortably eat became a constant problem. Not surprisingly I became very run-down on top of my already difficult to manage heart condition.

I wished I could tell you that that was the end of my health difficulties and I slowly improved...but unfortunately, one type of illness can lead to another as one becomes more and more run-down and that is just what happened to me.

It would have been around 1996 or so that I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and I was told that there was no effective treatment available for it.

The pain was nothing like I had experienced before. Night and day it was with me, even preventing me from getting rest and proper sleep. All I could do was take hot and cold showers which would give me some pain relief for about an hour or so. I became house-bound and felt as though I had nothing else to live for.

Losing ones health can be a very slow and painful experience, something that can go on for years as life seems to slowly ebb out of you...it can seem like a very cruel thing to experience. Although I was alive, I was just existing and I never expected to feel well again.

Although my heart condition had somewhat stabilized I still got frequent angina, and hospital admissions to control this were relatively common. The other chronic conditions that I suffered from though were dragging me down even more than my angina. If you can't eat good food how can you get well, and as I said...the pain of Fibromyalgia...it was unbearable.

I existed like this for some time, I'm not sure how, but I did.

My daughter would often stop by to see how I was doing and one day during one of her visits she mentioned that she had recently heard about Glyconutrients from a friend of hers who had many health issues. My daughters friend was much younger than I was, but she was in a very poor state of health.

My daughters friend had experienced some significant health benefits since starting with Glyconutrients...I didn't have a clue what Glyconutrients were. I knew food contained vitamins and minerals, but that was about it.

My daughter suggested I start to introduce Glyconutrients into my daily diet and see if that would improve my state of well-being. Seeing as I didn't have any well-being left at all I of course said yes...I honestly felt as though this was my last hope...so I grabbed-a-hold of it.

Today, ten years after I began with Glyconutrients and at age 86 I am enjoying the best of health, better than I can remember in a very long time. My Fibromyalgia no longer troubles me, although I've been told it never goes away...I no longer notice it...that's amazing to me. It's the same with my IBS and Gastritis...I'm not on any medications for these conditions, I simply couldn't tolerate the drugs.

I suppose you're wondering about my heart condition? Well, I had to have another heart operation a few years ago when I was 80 years old. I recovered quickly from my surgery, I'd been having Glyconutrients everyday without fail for a few years by then...and this time the grafts are good so I can get out in the garden and enjoy myself.

I'm never going to stop taking my Glyconutrients everyday..I feel they have made such an important contribution to my health. I don't even get colds and flu's anymore and I feel better now at age 86 than I can remember.

I'm so very thankful for every day and I have my eyes fixed firmly on the future.

Sincerely

Betty.
