Hi, ![]()
Thanks for visiting my page! I am a stay at home mom of 3 beautiful children and another on the way!! I am very into natural health and believe that our world is too full of toxins and pollutants in the average everyday product. Our food too is inferior than times past and it is laced with chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, gmo, genetic modification and other unnatural things.
I am always reading and hope to learn and share even more valuable natural health info and meet likeminded moms. I have some info I feel is important on my profile and I also love to discuss natural health in my groups! ![]()
I work from home with some of the best companies. My first company is 4Life Research and I got involved with them because I had been a customer for years and years. I found them when I was suffering severe fibromyalgia and refused to take antidepressants, muscle relaxers, riddilin and all the prescriptions the doctor gave me. I searched for the root of the problem and sought natural ways of healing. I used natural ways to bring my body from hardly being able to walk to the good health I have today!
Transfer Factor plays a major role in keeping me healthy enough to keep up with my ever growing family. When our budget got tight I decide to become a rep with 4Life to help our finances.
My journey begins by telling of my childhood and unfortunate experience of many childhood iillnesses. I suffered eczema, allergies and many many ear infections and strep infections. I was constantly sick with something
One year, when I was in 4th grade, I had what was pretty much a constant strep infection. I was on new antibiotics every month and nothing seemed to help since the following few weeks would lead back to the doctor offices and a new round of meds. I finally ended with a strep infection in my kidneys that almost killed me.
It was always one thing after the next and I always seemed to catch everything including the odd ones like bells palsy where 1/2 your face gets paralysed.
As I grew a little older, I got to the point where I was never well. Around Middle school/Jr. High I was constantly fatigued and struggled to keep up with everyday life. Every time I went to the doctor to complain about the way I felt, I was told it was probably viral and to rest more.......which for someone who already was sleeping sometimes 20 hours a day, this advice was far from helpful.
Eventually, I was so tired, my muscles ached, my glands seemed to be constantly swollen, I woke up daily feeling stiff and achy, like I had been hit by a truck at night, I had trouble concentrating (brain fog), I was bothered by certain smells, food and couldnt stand the cold, had horrible cramps with my period, IBS, and jaw/tmj problems.
I was eventually, Finally, diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, but at that time, at Mayo Clinic with the best doctors, the best they could do was tell me to excercise more! Now, I in Jr. high and high school, despite my condition I did participate in sports so their advice was absolutely pointless to me!
I lived with my condition and it slowly grew worse until my last year in college, I was so sick and so stiff and sore that it was hard to even walk! I could barely make it up and down stairs and had to take mobility vans to get around campus some days since it was so painful. I had a hard time keeping up and went to the doctor again thinking there had to be something I could do.
After another round of myraids of tests, I was just confirmed that all my symptoms were from my Fibromyalgia and CFS and I was written prescriptions for different drugs including muslce relaxers, anti-depressants, riddelin, and something to raise blood pressure, and was given information to apply for Social Security Disability......I was 21 and not ready to give up on life!! I left the prescriptions on the doctors desk, went home and cried!
It was then that I decided to switch gears in education and study nutrition, immunology and alternative health because I was sure there had to be a better way! I wanted true health, NOT to be drugged up and on disability my whole life suffering in pain!
I spent the next years studying many natural health things and trying various things on myself. Slowly over the years I kept finding more pieces to the puzzle until I found myself living pain free and healthy! Health is a Beautiful thing and I am so glad I persevered! A healthy lifestyle is worth it since your health determines a large portion of the quality of your life!
Diet Changes, "Superfoods", Chiropractor, Transfer Factor, addressing gut and digestion issues, nutrition, etc. were a BIG part of getting me healthy and now Transfer Factor, diet/nutrition, and chiropractor play a Big role in Keeping my Healthiest! I am happy to talk to anyone in more depth about my story and answer any questions you may have.
I became a rep for the transfer factor company since I take the product regularly and share this company and product out of passion for real health and what this product can provide not only for myself but for many others. I was a customer for 10 years and found myself telling everyone about it anyways so when my hubby started complaining about costs (he dismisses the whole fibromyalgia illness anyways and says it is all in the head...yeah, I know very sensitive) I became a rep so he cant say anything about cost because I NEED to have them!
Anyways, I would love to talk with anyone interested further about what I do and help coach and counsel you through what you can do. Please message me.

Natural Killer cells, or NK cells, are important immune cells that provide a crucial first defense against infectious agents and diseased cells. Once activated, NK cells react in two ways. First, they promptly secrete chemical messenger proteins that modulate emerging immune cell responses. Second, they become potent killers of infected cells. Without Natural Kill cells, threatening conditions can get a strong foothold before additional immune responses are able to kick in.
Allergies, Asthma, and Eczema
An allergy is a harmful immune response evoked by an antigen that is not itself inherently harmful.
Antigens that trigger allergies are often called allergens.
Things Like Hives, Hay Fever, Asthma, and Eczema are examples of Immediate Hypersensative Immune Reactions. These occur quickly after exposure to the allergen. They are usually mediated by antibodies of the Ige class.
These conditions often times go hand in hand. People with Asthma tend to also suffer other allergic conditions such as eczema or nasal allergies. Allergic asthma often temporarily seems to ease or alleviate completely in early adulthood. Although, in 75% of cases, the asthma reappears later, showing that the underlying immune condition has not been addressed.
A majority of children with Eczema go on to develop hay fever as adults. And another majority go on to develop asthma. Unless the underlying immune dysfunction is addressed, you will only manage symptoms and devolop more allergic conditions as you age. So you see why it is important to heal the body from the root cause and develop good natural health.
Several things can help naturally bring the immune response back into balance and ease your allergic response.
Transfer Factor
Transfer Factor would the MOST beneficial thing you can do, to modulate the immune system since it has the capabity to educate the immune system to respond properly. It does this by bringing into balance the 2 primary responses of the immune system Th1 and Th2 and has been proven in studies to do this effectively.
This would effectively get to the root cause of allergies, asthma and eczema....hypersensitive immune response thereby eliminating the allergic response. This is the most important component in addressing immune dysfunctions such as these.
For Eczema, Transfer Factor can also be applied directly to the skin with transfer lotion and aloe gel containing the transfer factor.

ALLERGIES TESTIMONY-- For the past fifteen years I have suffered from chronic bronchitis, regular sinus infections, and severe allergies. I suffered from fatigue, migraine headaches, joint pain, and an overall weakening. After eight months on TF I am a new person. I feel like TF saved my life. I tried every nutrient that I could find, but only TF made the difference. Naomi Jackson, Kansas.
ALLERGIES TESTIMONY-- Although not life threatening, Mum would develop swelling and itch all over her body on consuming just one peanut. After taking TF for 3 months she has developed a better tolerance for peanuts and is now able to eat several peanuts with out having any reaction. TG/TW, Malaysia.
ALLERGIES TESTIMONY-- I have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical about Transfer Factor (Plus) when I first tried the product, but let me tell you, it's truly amazing! I have been a chronic allergy sufferer all my life. Each spring and fall, allergy attacks would invariably lead to miserable sinus infections, which would mean time off from work and feeling lousy for days. It also meant going to the doctor to get prescriptions for antibiotics - yuk! Needless to say, I was desperate for anything that would help me avoid what felt like a brush fire burning in my sinuses! And the fewer doctor visits and prescriptions to fill, the better, wouldn't you agree? Transfer Factor has really fit the bill. For the past two years, I have been able to take it at the first signs of allergy, and Transfer Factor works with my immune system to help stop the attack dead in its tracks. No more sinus infections! No more prescriptions! No more bad magazines at the doctor's office! Now, I recommend Transfer Factor to all my friends and coworkers. Not only for folks with allergies, but to help get them through the cold and flu season as well. Everyone who's tried it has become a believer, too! I know that it may sound too good to be true, but Transfer Factor really works for my immune system. Carolyn.
ASTHMA TESTIMONY-- I am a lorry driver for more than 10 years. I always had asthma attack. I cannot eat ice cream, drink cold water and beer. My boss introduced me to Transfer Factor. I started taking 2 capsules 2 times a day. After two weeks my asthma attack was gone. I feel healthy and well now. Thank you 4Life. Mani, Port Dickson.
ASTHMA TESTIMONY-- With terrible asthma since age 7, I began 4Life™ Transfer Factor™ 2 1/2 weeks ago and I've gone from 20 medications & inhalers, to one pill and one inhaler. Transfer Factor really works wonders for my immune system. Darlene J.
ASTHMA TESTIMONY-- My son Ryan has asthma. He was on three inhalers per day. After 9 days on Transfer Factor, he stopped using his inhalers. We took him to the Doctor and learned that his lung function had returned to normal. He has not touched an inhaler since July of 98. The balancing effect that Transfer Factor has on the immune system is amazing. Kevin O
OPC's
In addition to Transfer Factor, you can add anti-oxidants and bioflavonoids that have been shown in studies to reduce allergy systems. Among the most popular are grape seed extract, pine bark extract, quercetin and other flavonoids.
Although they occur naturally in many foods -when used in supplement form they can be extremely helpful in reducing allergy symptoms especially when taken in conjunction with vitamin C.
4Life has a complete OPC blend that has proven to be helpful especially when taken with transfer factor.
4Life has a Vit C with all the best forms of bioactive vit C that is really potent.
Probiotics
Good Bacteria have been shown to prevent and help alleviate allergies, asthma, and eczema. Allergic people often have different types of bacteria than the normal healthy person in their intestines, specifically, less lactobacilli and bifidobacteria Probiotics and probiotic cultured food are an important addition to everyones daily health regime, especially those with allergic conditions and those who have taken anti-biotics in their lifetime! Just be sure you use high quality probiotics or they will not populate the intestines as they are supposed to and will not be of any help then.
4Life Probiotics are a comprehensive blend with a stable guaranteed potency delivery method.
Essential Fatty Acids
EFA's are another vital thing that most people are lacking especially the Omega 3, GLA and CLA types. These fatty acids have anti-inflamatory properties which can help alleviate allergy symptoms. They also a play a big role in a healthy functioning immune system in addition to all the other benefits they give.
4Life has the best EFA blend inclucing Omega 3 DHA, CLA, and GLA..
Diet Eliminations
Some food allergies are obvious and others not so obvious. You might only have a sensativity that is affecting your immune system but not a full blown allergy that will register on allergy scratch tests.
Eczema and Asthma often are triggered or acerbated by food allergies. Most Commonly by Wheat, Gluten, and Diary. Some other common ones include Soy, Corn, Nuts and MSG (msg should be avoid anyways). Around 80% of children with asthma also have documented food allergies.
If you have any immune health condition you should always test for allergies. You can do the regular scratch test with your doctor and also request the ELISA test. A lot of doctors will say it is unessacary or inaccurate but I assure you when it comes to natural health, most are not well informed in more natural and alternative methods and it has been proven to help many suffering from food sensitivities. Have them order the ELISA test through Great Smokey Labs
If you have food allergies you will have to cut out the offending food. This may be temporary, since as you heal and strengthen your body with Transfer Factor and other natural health building things you may be able to add them back to your diet. Even if not fully you may be able to eat the offending foods ocassionally or in small amounts once your body heals. Some have developed to much damage in their bodies already before they decided to control the condition through natural remedies or they were born with inherently weaker immune systems and they may never be able to add certain foods back.
Going gluten and dairy free can be very difficult at first but it is worth it if this is one of the things aggrevating your immune system.
External Aggrevators and Home Care
One thing that can aggrevate all these condition are the things you use to clean your home, brush your teeth, moisturize your skin, wash your hair and body, wash your cloths, clean your dishes and bathroom, etc.
Chemicals and component in your household cleaners can trigger and aggrevate asthma, eczema and allergies. Getting these things out of your home is important in eliminating these conditions as well as it is for good health in general. The number one thing to switch to natural is your laundry detergent and fabric softner since it is touching your skin all day long since it leaves a residue on your clothes.
What you put on your body and use to take care of it is absorbed into your body as if you ate it! Think about all the chemicals and unnatural things you put on your skin, on your head and in your mouth. A lot things in common body care products are irritants and can aggrevate eczema. This is very important to learn about and eliminate the harmful things in your personal care routines.
Just be careful and learn more about what is natural and what is not since a lot "natural" products are not so natural. Learn more at the http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/
Dead Sea Salt
Dead sea salt can be expecially helpful for eczema conditions. You can soak in it and help relieve the irritation and give your skin minerals it needs to be healthy.

Huge industrialized farms and mass meat production have taken over the world. Profit-driven technologies and a proliferation of unproven chemicals have, in many ways, replaced what nature intended for our health. We are the innocent victims.
For the first time in all history, because of cheap, subsidized corn production in the this country, millions of animals are now raised in close confinement and fed on diets that are not healthy for them.
There is an increasingly high wall that keeps the public from seeing these huge industrial livestock operations. It would ruin your appetite to visit these CAFO's (concentrated animal feeding operations).
Most antibiotics sold in the United States today end up in animal feed. Such heavy use is commonly known to create superbugs - antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria that can be deadly.
In these huge feedlots, animals are forced to live mainly on corn, not grass. Why? Because it's cheaper. Instead of grazing for 4-5 years from birth to slaughter, animals are now brought to slaughter within 14 to 16 months. They are fed tremendous quantities of corn and an arsenal of drugs. Thousands of gallons of liquefied fat and protein supplements are pumped into their troughs everyday. They are fed from vats of liquid vitamins and synthetic estrogen as well as 50 pound sacks of the antibiotics Rumensin and Tylosin. A very little silage and alfalfa hay are thrown in for roughage.
Animals can't live on such a diet for very long. It would blow out their livers and kill them. So they are bred and fed to get them to slaughter quickly, and the antibiotics keep them alive long enought to slaughter. They would not survive on this diet without the antibiotics.
The fats they consume often come from beef tallow, a form of cannibalism that carries its own risks. Protein is a brown goop made of molasses and urea (made from natural gas).
The meat that comes from these animals is much less healthy than meat from grass-fed animals because it's far lower in omega-3's and CLA's.
The waste from these feedlot animals can't be used for fertilizer because it's too toxic. It pollutes waterways and kills as well as genetically-modifies fish.
Replace your low-quality, nitrite-filled, processed meats and other unhealthy snacks with high protein, low fat, organic grass fed meat.
