Testimony from a Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Nurse

Posted by Terry A Shackelford - Avon on December 31, 2009

With the recent headlines of people dying from ” Vanity” surgery complications, looking at alternatives to help eliminate trouble spots can save you the pain and expense of surgery.  The following is a testimony from a surgical nurse who has opted for a natural approach and the success she has experienced.

This is an exact copy of an email from Jennifer in North Carolina:

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jennifer Trick and I am a new believer.  I’m a nurse and have over 10 years in Plastic and Cosmetic surgery experience.  The Body applicator goes against everything I have been taught and I still can’t believe it.  In three weeks I have gone from a size 18 to a 14 and the tone of my abdomen has greatly improved.

As a former plastic surgery nurse, I would have told my patients that there are not any products or exercises that can tighten the abdoment and especially improve the skin’s elasticity without surgery.  Well I can admit when I am wrong.  I’M WRONG… I was amazed with the before and after pictures and with my trained eye,  I was able to locate land marks on both the before and after pictures.  They are for real.  I am blown away.  Again going against everything I’ve ever been taught.  WOW!!!!  These are miracle products for gastric bypass patients.  That will cost you $10,000 – $20,000 and alot of scars.

NO PAIN!!!!  I am in love with these products and with this business.  I do know that God has given us everything we need to heal ourselves but modern medicine has become lazy.  It’s easier to write a prescription and send patients on their way than to teach them about nutrition and natural products.

“God’s medicine” can heal them.  The lack of nutrition is the beginning point for all diseases especially cancer.  I ahve seen people healed spiritually and nutritionally.

God has lead me to Russell Carr and he led me to It Works and not a moment too soon.  I lost my job with the hospital I was working for after 5 years of spotless service.  I injured my knee at work and I’m having my second surgery very soon but it’s OK.  God works in mysterious ways.  If it wouldn’t have been for this injury, I would not have been off work during the week I met Russell at an open house.  I knew that I had met him somewhere before but we couldn’t put our finger on it.  I called him after falling in love with the applicator and losing over 6 inches.  I told him to sign me up and during the sign-up we remembered where we had met in the past.  It was at my brother’s church.  So you tell me, coincidence or God?

God I hear you and I thank you for It Works and for Russell.  Through you God, I will help everyone I can spiritually, physically and financially.

White Meat or Dark Meat? Which is the better choice?

Posted by Terry A Shackelford - Avon on November 20, 2009

White Meat or Dark Meat?  

by Dr. Don Verhulst, MD*

If you eat meat, I recommend you focus on poultry and fish.   If you have chicken or turkey, which is better–the breast or the thigh?   Well actually, all parts of the bird have their benefits.  

White meat does have a lower fat content.   It also provides glycogen, a polysaccharide that plays an important role in the glucose cycle.   Dark meat has more myoglobin, an amazing protein that helps deliver oxygen to muscle cells.   By the way, removing the skin from that drumstick or thigh gets rid of most of the fat (as well as toxins the bird may have ingested on the farm.)  

Dark meats tend to contain more zinc, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, vitamins B6 and B12, amino acids, iron than white meat.   Chicken dark meat contain vitamins A, K, B6, B12, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, minerals as selenium, phosphorus and zinc.   Even the fats in most of the dark meats have healthy parts.   They contain Omega-3, and Omega-6 fatty acids, and other ‘healthy’ fats.   It is the saturated fat content which lowers the true quality of dark meat.   

To reduce the saturated fat content of chicken dark meat, simply remove the skin.   By the way, removing the skin from your chicken also gets rid of most of the toxins the bird may have ingested on the farm.  

 Which brings up another important point. Chickens and turkeys raised in cages on factory farms are fed antibiotics, growth hormones and other toxic feed components.   If possible, purchase free range poultry, raised on organic feeds without hormones, antibiotics.

 

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
