This is Miami Schufeld and I thought this was a really important message to put out to everyone. I just got back from my daughter’s visit to her pediatrician. When she was about eight months old, she was diagnosed with an asthma or allergy, they really didn’t know what it was and she had to take Albuterol, which as some of you may know, is an awful, awful steroid for kids to take but we really didn’t feel that we had a choice because she was having difficulty breathing. She was also on a nebulizer.
When we started evaluating this business in February 2004, Kevin and Debbie Nolan suggested we try OPC-3 and Might-A-Mins for our daughter. And we did, and slowly but surely we noticed that she wasn’t waking up anymore at night with her wheezing and coughing, and that it was going away.
Well, we got back from our pediatrician today and they told us that she no longer has to have Albuterol or use her nebulizer.
It’s just a really important thing; I’m getting emotional now but my 2/1/2 year old is no longer on an awful, awful drug.
Just wanted to let everyone know that our products are amazing. My daughter wants to say something…you probably couldn’t hear her. She was saying thank you, Market America.
I give OPC-3 to both my kids and they are almost 3 and almost 5. It works great when we start to get a cold, I give them a full adult dose 2 or 3 times a day for a couple days. Other days they get 1/2 adult dose. They are the only two kids at school who have not missed a day!
Hope this helps!

I have had my little guy on OPC-3 since in vitro. He is 37 lbs. and takes a cap of Might-A-Mins and one cap OPC-3 each day. He also takes Ultimate Aloe and Mineral Blast, and Calcium Plus at night. He is the HEALTHIEST child I have ever seen...never collicky, no ear infections, no noticeable teething pain and no bad colds or flu's that have kept him in bed...easy delivery at 10 lbs. for this old mom also.

Our products can be very effective for young children w/allergies. My son was suffering terribly with seasonal allergies at 13 months of age. One of the doctors at his pediatric practice wanted to start him on anti-histamines. I refused & started him on 1 cap of OPC & 1 cap of Might-a-Mins, along w/one ounce of aloe juice daily. His allergies were gone that day! Another pediatrician in that practice was so impressed that she bought aloe juice & OPC for her elderly parents & is now a distributor herself.I have tried to drop his dose down to 1/2 a cap on the OPC, but don't get the same results. We have since added Vitamin C because he likes the taste (and I know it's good for him). He has just turned 4, and (other than tick bites & food poisoning) he has not been back to the pediatrician for an illness since. He sees the doctor once a year now for an annual check-up.Whenever something nasty is going around his pre-school, I bump up his aloe & he skates right through. On occasion, he's come down with the sniffles, a stomach flu, or a fever, but they have never lasted more than one day. If he's not feeling well, he asks for aloe & OPC himself because he knows they will make him feel better. I've given him cough syrup only once in 3 years & have to throw out all the OTC remedies (Tylenol, etc.) that moms like to keep on hand "just in case" because they expire before we ever use them. I attribute all of this to our wonderful products!Margie LeatherMonroe, NY
My nephew (with severe Heart problems) started OPC-3 when he was 13 months old (13 lbs.) We started him on 1/2 adult dose, which was still a little better than 5 times (per his weight). He is doing great! He wasn't really expected to see his first birthday, but he will see his third in just a few weeks. To look at him, one would never know he has any medical problems at all.
Another nephew, who suffers both from allergies and asthma was started on OPC-3 at 18 months old, (15 lbs) -- also half a dose. His older brother (9), with the same problems, takes a whole dose. Both are also doing great and have had no more attacks.
For them, the OPC-3 alone was too sour. They weren't really thrilled, made ugly faces and threw their bottles/cups back at us. So . . . We added some Isotonix Vitamin C and gave it to them as the first bottle/cup in the morning. Evidently the Vitamin C added enough sweetness to make it palatable for them. I hope this helps.

Both my wife & 10 year old daughter suffer serious allergy problems, or I should say did suffer from. Literally every 6 weeks my daughter would get an infection in her throat followed by a serious fever(102-104) this would last for a week accompanied by a regimen of antibiotics. She had suffered from this most of her life & my wife took clariton every day for many years for her allergies.
For the last 10 months they have each taken 1 capful of OPC-3 a day with a half cap of the Vitamin C. My daughter has not been sick 1 time in the last 10 months (we were a few weeks from having her tonsils removed when we noticed the improvement & cancelled the surgery). My wife has maybe taken 4 doses of Clariton in the last 10 months. I am starting to make some $$ with my Unfranchise but even if I did not make a dime I would never stop because of what these products have done for my family.

Hi team: I have a niece who is 5 and has severe asthma. We started her on OPC3 in Dec. and she is doing well. She too was using a home nebulizer with Albuterol and steroid inhalants. Her Mother was apprehensive about giving it to her so she took it to her Dr. and asked first. Of course, the Dr. didn't know much about it but said it "wouldn't hurt her." I give it to all my kids and 3 of them have severe allergies that lead to sinus infections many times a year. They are sooooo much better and not using Allegra and Claritin anymore. They get a slight cold now and then but no big problems.
I now give it to my 15 month old in her sippee cup along with Vit. C. I really swear by it for all my own sinus problems and many aches and pains in my joints. There is nothing like it. I asked my Nurse Practitioner and the allergist office what she thought of it as I told her how it was helping all my kids, and she takes it herself!! She said it's a great product!! I'd rather buy OPC3 from myself than thousand of dollars worth of antibiotics and allergy meds from the pharmaceutical companies!! Plus the cost of the office visit, the time, the hassle, and having sick kids. Get the picture.

My personal experience is one dose of OPC-3 each day takes care of my fall allergies. My 9 year old son, who used to develop winter allergies and had secondary bronchial infections all winter long (every 3 weeks it was to the doctor for more antibiotics), is on one dose a day (a double dose for him per weight) and hasn't had the usual allergy symptoms and no secondary infections for the past two winters.
I have a new customer who used it to bring down their blood pressure are pleasantly "surprised" that they don't have any allergies this spring (and pollen counts are high this spring!). Another customer told his wife that this spring he could smell the dirt of a newly tilled field. Something he hadn't been able to smell due to chronic sinuses for many, many years! OPC-3 is WONDERFUL for allergies.
Doreen Creighton Gap, PA
I have had my daughter, Kelley, on MightaMins and about a 1/3 dose (based on her weight) of OPC every morning and she hasn't been ill for over a year! You can tell she has a tendency for allergies during the season which is why we added the OPC. We also give her Strawberry/Kiwi Aloe to help her with any digestive issues whenever she needs it, which is not often. She is extremely healthy now!
Hope that helps!

I have year-round allergies. I've never been medically tested to see exactly what I am allergic to. I know for sure that I don't take very kindly to dust, mold or mildew, and whatever common pollens or organic matter that are flying around. I used to take Claritin every day of the year. I've been on OPC-3 for over 6 months, and it has been just wonderful! I can tell when I wake up in the morning whether it'll be a good or bad day for my allergies. I take one cap each of OPC-3, Multi-tech, and Antioxidant every day, but on bad days I either take a double or triple dose of OPC-3. I know it works for ME, because sometimes I take only one OPC-3 in the morning, and if I'm still sniffling before I eat breakfast, I'll take a second (or third) cap, and within a half-hour I feel fine. It works for me.
It's great taking a superior product for overall great health and having the nice benefit of allergy control! And no more prescriptions full of chemicals to waste my money on !!!!!

Migraines
My personal story is: I suffered at least one migraine a month for 20 years first the zig zig lines in my peripheral vision, followed by blind spots in the middle of my vision so I could barely drive home from work before phase three set in - excruciating pain that *nothing* helped. This lasted
for 24 hours. If I ate lots of sugar as soon as the zig zag started, I could sometimes stave of the rest of the symptoms - until next time. I started on OPC-3 4 years ago and have not had a migraine since. For the first few months the zig zags would start and I would take an extra OPC3, which would stop it.
I know some people also find B 12 is necessary to stop them. Since those first few months I haven't even had a zig zag, much less blindness and pain.
Guess I finally got enough OPC3 in my system!

===================================================
I have suffered from migraine headaches for over twenty years. I had at least one headache a month, if not more. Symptoms included blurred vision, nausea - in fact I could not stand to smell food cooking or I would be sick to my stomach. I had to have the room darkened and I would sleep as much as I could - trying not to move too much. Doctors attitude was you have to learn to live with it, you're just one of those people.
I heard that OPC-3 may help to get rid of headaches, and I decided to give it a try. I started taking it in August, and realized after a very short time (2 months) that I hadn't had a migraine headache since starting the OPC-3. I have only had one since I started on OPC and to me that's incredible!
I feel that I have my life back and I now have freedom to travel, make plans with my friends or to take on projects without fear of being unable to complete/fulfill my promises.
I am truly thankful that Market America has such a wonderful product available to anyone/ everyone who wants to take charge of their own health using products that are safe and natural.
I was so impressed that I am now a distributor.
Sincerely,

My name is John Lehotsky and I suffered from severe migraine headaches on and off for about 15 years. These headaches would occur with little advance warning and would send me to bed, unable to stand light, noise or any contact. At their peak I would become violently sick to my stomach.
Doctors prescribed almost every medication known with no results. I spent 4 days in the hospital with an IV, administering Dihydro-ergotomine. I had a serious reaction to the anti-nausea drug that was used in addition to the DHE and had terrible muscle spasms.
I was privileged to meet Cheree Culpepper before our local seminar and asked her what I might try to stem these awful headaches. Cheree advised two capfuls of Isotonix B-12 with my two caps of OPC-3. I received immediate results that were far above my expectations. I did not experience any headaches of any degree for the next several weeks. I ran out of B-12, waiting for my order to be delivered by UPS and immediately got a migraine that day. One of our business partners loaned us a bottle until ours came in and the headache immediately subsided.
I can assure you that the B-12 is the answer to my dilemma and I will not allow myself to run out again. The nice side-effect is that I have more energy and I have a brand new lease on life.
Thanks to Cheree Culpepper for her research and insight for all the people she's helped.
Sincerely,

I started using OPC in June, and later added B-12 because I heard it does something for migraines. I used a Prescription Drug, first Imitrex, then switched to Zomig because it's claim was to help ease a migraine once well under way, but the Imitrex has to catch the migraine in the early, early stage in order to work. The Zomig comes six in a pack, and cost $100.00 (luckily my insurance paid 80%), but I was going through an awful lot of them. I was having Migraines for about 1 1/2 years, about 4 a month, then increased to about 6 or 7 a month, sometimes even more. EVER SINCE I STARTED B-12, IN SEPTEMBER, I HAVE ONLY HAD 3 MIGRAINES! It is absolutely incredible. I only take one capful of B-12 a day, but I increased them during the migraines to three caps. I have B-12 on transfer buying; I couldn't stand the thought of running out. Oh, by the way, I got a migraine when I ran out of B-12!!!, Thank goodness for overnight buying. I only had to go 5 days without it.

In response to your request to an Asthma testimony.
OPC-3 and my fourteen year old daughter who had asthma and severe Allergies since the age of 3 are the reasons I became a Market America distributor!!!!!
My mom in Conn. sent this strange bottle of "stuff" to her granddaughter living in MD., because she had heard many testimonies about positive results concerning asthma and OPC-3. The bottle sat on our counter for about 2 weeks, and my daughter didn't seem the least bit interested in drinking this thing that gramma sent. I felt a little guilty that my mom had paid for this so I started to take the OPC-3.
After one week the migraines that I suffered from since the age of sixteen were gone(I WASN'T READY TO ADMIT,IT WAS THE OPC). After two weeks and no migraines, I was ready to find out what was going on here. After three weeks I wanted to know about Market America........Now after I had attended meetings, and heard powerful testimonies myself regarding asthma and OPC,I made my daughter take this.......
This little girl had missed twenty-seven days of school last year, she always ended up with serious sinus infections (every year,)and has been rushed to the hospital by the school nurse in the past.
She is a competitive gymnast, and this year during her state competition she was able to compete to her full potential, because she wasn't suffering from symptoms from allergies and wasn't having asthma attacks....She won the Maryland state vault title in her age group as a level eight gymnast and placed third all around! She is doing great, even during one of the worst pollen seasons on record, she doesn't even have red itchy eyes and No asthma attacks.
Does our family believe in OPC.................without hesitation YES!!!!!!!!!
=========================================
I had terrible migraines as long as I can remember. I was finally "diagnosed with common migraines" in 1983. I have taken, Fiorinol, Fioricet, and Ergomar -- none of which did me any good. About 3 years ago, I started taking Isotonix B-12 formula. I have decreased my migraines from as many as 5 a month, to about 2 a year (usually when I get lazy and forget to take my B-12). A doctor that I asked about it said that people who have common migraines often have boarder-line under-active thyroids and that the B-12 will kick start the thyroid into functioning properly again. I take a single dose of B-12 every day and it helps a lot. I have also heard of people having great success with OPC-3 and migraines. If I feel one coming on, I will take a double-dose B-12 along with a double-dose OPC-3 (in addition to what I usually take) and I can often stop a migraine before it really gets started. I still have to try to avoid my "triggers", but I feel like I've got my life back!!
I'm no doctor but this sure is working for me!!

Here is my OPC-3 testimonial that relates to migraines, as well as a few other ailments:
Upon signing on as a distributor, I started using OPC-3 as a preventative measure as heart disease and cancer run rampant in my family knew of the benefits of antioxidants so OPC-3 seemed like a great "insurance policy" in protecting me from the diseases that have plagued my relatives.
I don't know of any person on this planet who is totally healthy; pain free or problem free. I had various problems such as migraines which I took Fiorinal, PMS and the symptoms associated with it-bloating, fatigue, again the migraines, irritability, extreme cramping that required pain meds, etc...I have a bad knee from a car accident that always hurt, and I also have spring and summer allergies.
I also have had a blood disorder that my doctors have not been able to identify. I get mysterious bruises, sometimes 30 at a time, all over my body. I have been tested for everything under the sun like Hemophelia and VonWillibrands disease. ALL of these ailments that I have suffered for
Years with have been positively affected since I began taking 3 caps a day of OPC-3. NO more migraines, no more pain meds for PMS, my knee feels normal for the first time in 15 years, allergy symptoms reduced greatly, and my bruising is at the lowest its been my whole life. I never expected anything like this to happen from taking it. It’s really an incredible product.

Here's our groups latest on this issue! We are working with a girl with migraines so bad that she actually passes out from them. Until a few weeks ago, she got them almost every day. She definitely wanted to start on the OPC-3, and we highly recommended the B-12 as well. In fact, to a brand new customer just starting I'll recommend the B-12 over the OPC-3 for eadaches just because of my experiences. She started on both products the day after we met her, and she didn't get a headache! Nor did she get ANY headaches for about two weeks, until the day that she didn't take her B-12. Not surprisingly, she got a headache that day. Needless to say, she was immediately on the phone to order enough OPC-3 and B-12 to prevent running out again! I believe very strongly the B-12 for headaches. In fact, I take it just like I *used* to take Tylenol or Motrin when I feel one coming on. Works every time! As I said earlier, if it's a new customer who only wants to try one thing for headaches, I'll usually go with the B-12 before the OPC. Once they're thrilled to death with those results, they'll probably respect what you tell them about OPC, too!

Hi, I had severe, put me to bed, Migraines for 15 years. I haven't had a Migraine since I became a distributor. Today I have a stressed, sort of almost there, headache but it hasn't manifested into a migraine. I woke up with it, so I know it's trying to be a migraine but it feels like it just can't grow into one. It feels like a tightening at the back of my head and shoulders at this point. I have no doubt that the products I'm taking have to be the reason for the relief. I take OPC-3, MultiTech and Mineral Blast (every other day for the Mineral Blast).

The condition to which you refer is quite well known in the Gynecologic field. We sometimes refer to them as
menstrual withdrawal headaches. It has been shown that the result from the falling levels of estrogen just before the onset of the mense (period). For many years, I have used the estrogen patch to abort the headache. Applied 2-3 days before the expected onset of the headache, it often works quite nicely in reducing the severity and duration of the headache. For the past 7 years, I have also highly recommended OPC-3 for, not only these headaches, but for any headache, especially the classic migraines. I believe the OPC-3, by stabilizing the cell membrane and vessel wall, may actually reduce the vasospasm (sensitivity of the blood vessel to those stimuli which make it constrict).
This process allows the blood to flow more freely avoiding the compensatory vasodilatation (opening or dilating of the cerebral vessels) which is what results in the pounding headache.
My family often teases me since I seem to recommend OPC for just about everything. I also like to combine the OPC with Vitamin C and the Antioxidant. I routinely recommend multiple dosing since the body seems to like consistency and does better, at least with supplements, if you give it smaller doses more frequently.
I hope this information is helpful to you.

The condition to which you refer is quite well known in the Gynecologic field. We sometimes refer to them as
menstrual withdrawal headaches. It has been shown that the result from the falling levels of estrogen just before the onset of the mense (period). For many years, I have used the estrogen patch to abort the headache. Applied 2-3 days before the expected onset of the headache, it often works quite nicely in reducing the severity and duration of the headache. For the past 7 years, I have also highly recommended OPC-3 for, not only these headaches, but for any headache, especially the classic migraines. I believe the OPC-3, by stabilizing the cell membrane and vessel wall, may actually reduce the vasospasm (sensitivity of the blood vessel to those stimuli which make it constrict).
This process allows the blood to flow more freely avoiding the compensatory vasodilatation (opening or dilating of the cerebral vessels) which is what results in the pounding headache.
My family often teases me since I seem to recommend OPC for just about everything. I also like to combine the OPC with Vitamin C and the Antioxidant. I routinely recommend multiple dosing since the body seems to like consistency and does better, at least with supplements, if you give it smaller doses more frequently.
I hope this information is helpful to you.

Carpal Tunnel
Here is my testimony about carpal tunnel and OPC-3:
I was considering having surgery for carpal tunnel just so I could get a good night’s rest. I run a large family-owned bakery and use my hands all the time for work. After a day when I had to constantly squeeze pastry tubes to decorate a dozen or more huge sheet cakes, I would awaken during the night with my hands being completely numb. It was very annoying to have to get out of bed and shake my hands around in order to get some feeling back into my fingers. They gave me a brace to wear to bed, but it didn’t seem to help much.
I had tried many remedies...nothing seemed to help...I was really not happy about the idea of having surgery and was willing to try just about anything to avoid it. You told me OPC-3 was not a wonder drug which would cure me, but that, over time, it would relieve my symptoms....so I decided to give it a try. I began with a loading dose of 4 capfuls per day, along with 1 capful of the antioxidant.
Since I have been taking OPC-3 over the past three months, I don’t have to wear the brace at night anymore....there isn’t all the numbness....and when I have a busy day, with lots of cakes to decorate, I notice a big difference in how I feel! OPC-3 has really changed my life! I know now, that if things continue to improve they way they have recently, that surgery will never be an option for me.
Oh, yes, and by the way...OPC-3 has done more than just help with my carpal tunnel . I had my teeth cleaned the other day...the hygienist remarked to me that my gums didn’t bleed much at all compared to what they had before.
Thanks,

When I first opened my unfranchise I began immediately taking OPC3 and the multi vitamin but not much else. I don't know when it happened but I noticed after a couple of months that my ct was completely gone. I had gone to the Dr. because it woke me up out of a sound sleep with pain. They wanted to operate and I decided to wait on that until it got worse which would not have been long. I truly believe it was the consistent use of OPC3 that cured me and I have not once had a symptom. Hope your friend has as good an experience. Peg

Acid Reflux
I started taking OPC-3 for some shoulder problems that I was having. To my surprise I actually had many positive results from OPC-3 other than just taking away the pain in my shoulder.
For years, maybe 10 or so, I had acid reflux. It was always there but some days were worse than others. In the beginning I could take a couple of Tums or even just grin and bear it, and the reflux would subside. However, for the last couple of years that I had Acid Reflux I couldn't get thru the day or night without taking at least a Zantac 150, or some prescription medicine. And, I was taking these medicines daily.
When I started OPC-3 two years ago from now, I have never once taken a Tums, Zantac, or Prescription Antacid. For Obvious reasons, I hope, I have not taken these medicines because I have not had Acid Reflux once since starting OPC-3.
I hope this makes some difference for somebody out there because I know how terrible it is to live with Acid Reflux and how much better I feel now that I don't have it anymore.

Seizures
I hope this helps!!!
My name is Kristyn, I am 25 years old. I was diagnosed with temporal lobe seizures 2 years ago. I was unable to live a normal life, I was having 5-6 seizures a day. While I was hospitalized for 3 weeks I was monitored on many different anti-seizure medications, the medications helped with my seizures, however I suffered from slurred speech, extreme fatigue, I was unable to organize my thoughts, I couldn't drive and obviously I could not work. After being discharged I was taking my medications in order to somewhat function normally, however even on my medications I would still have the sensation that I was going to have a seizure.
When I was introduced to OPC-3 I took the recommended dose (2 capfuls a day). I felt great, more energized, I was starting to feel like my old self again! I then started to increase my dose of OPC-3 (5 capfuls daily) and my sensations went away, then I gradually weaned myself off my anti-seizure medications. I am currently seizure free for 1 year and completely off all prescribed medications.

Acne
My daughter is sixteen years old. For at least 3 years she has been suffering from SEVERE acne. We have tried every product on the market including Proactive, Dermatologists recommendations and every over the counter product on the market. NOTHING WORKED!! Since the topicals from the dermatologists and proactive did not work I decided to start her our internal pills Prevaderm and the Anti Blemish potion!! IN 3 DAYS her face cleared. I have spent hundreds of dollars on her over the years and in 3 days her confidence level increased dramatically/ IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING!! Nicole From Jacksonville!!
