Shannon:

Well, today we're on the phone with Joyce. Joyce, you sent me an email just the other day and you had an incredible story. Are you there, Joyce?

Joyce:

I'm here.

Shannon:

Can you tell us a little bit about that story? What have you been through?

Joyce:

Well, about two years ago to start with, I had a bad fall and I developed some cellulitis. And then several times in the last two years I've been in and out of the hospital. And, finally, it got so bad that I was actually – it changed. It wasn't just cellulitis anymore. I was getting these huge, huge like blister bubbles that would break and all kinds of junk would come out of them. And they put me in the hospital.

May 30th I woke up in the middle of the night and I was really feeling horrible. I had chills, fever. I was sick to my stomach. I didn't know whether to bend over or sit down when I went in the bathroom. But it was really horrible. And my daughter said oh, mom you've probably got the flu that the kids have too. Well, by 3:00 in the afternoon, I live alone and I have to call somebody to come when I think I'm having a problem. I looked at my legs and they were horrible to quote my daughter who was coming home from work. And she took one look at me and she took me right over to the hospital where I stayed from May 30th until the middle of June. And from there I went into a rehab center. They put a pick line in my arm and I was getting vanco until it got to the point where they finally couldn't give me anymore. My blood showed that I had too much antibiotics in me. I came home the end of July. I missed almost all the summer. And really still had these horrible, horrible, the biggest one was the size of a teacup, open sores on me.

Shannon:

Wow.

Joyce:

Finally, the one doctor, a vein doctor, a vascular doctor, got them to heal without antibiotics. He got the sores to heal, but I had grayish colored, hard spots that were sore. It started happening again the end of November, beginning of December, I guess. I went back to the doctor and he's like hmm, talking to himself, and he's thinking. Well, if I put you back in the hospital that's the only way we can give you the vanco. He's thinking and talking to himself. He said hmm, that medicine also works on MRSA. I went what, MRSA! I have MRSA? And he said, well what did you think you had. I said I don't know. All anybody ever called it was your infection.

Shannon:

Would you call that a reality check right there?

Joyce:

Definitely. I came home. I found you and I started looking through your diet and things. I read about your water. I ordered your sample thing. But in the meantime, you know, it takes a few days to get here, so I ran down to the health food store and I bought some oxygenated water that they have for sporty things. I started myself with that, which, by the way, costs $4 a liter.

Shannon:

Wow.

Joyce:

I found yours to be very reasonable.

Shannon:

And they're usually either loaded with sugar or they're loaded with minerals that are made to make them alkaline, which is less than – honestly and truly, if you do the math, it's around a thousand times less potent at like an 8.5 pH.

Joyce:

Yes, but then I started myself on you. By Christmas it was gone. I was feeling great. Not gone, gone, gone. The red was all gone. I had no more pains and I was really feeling cocky.

Shannon:

You had your energy back by that time.

Joyce:

I had my energy back and I slipped a little bit.

Shannon:

That's okay, life is for living.

Joyce:

It started to come back and I just got myself right back on everything.

Shannon:

Okay, let's define the slip then.

Joyce:

The slip was I started eating things I shouldn't, and not drinking as much water as I should, and just letting little things go. It was the holidays. I was taking a vacation.

Shannon:

Yeah.

Joyce:

As soon as I saw my leg starting to get red and a couple of little tiny blisters starting to appear I went uh, oh, Joyce. Reality check, you know. I put myself right back on. I still had a little bit of pHenomenal in a bottle and I put myself back on that, and I started trying to get back on the diet again. When I went back to the doctor after I got my pHenomenal and he looked at it and he said wow, you're doing good. I said okay, this is what I've done using your water. I said I've eliminated sugars from my diet. I'm not a sugar person anyway. I don't like candy, but give me potato chips and I'm happy. But I was having these horrible cravings for candy and all things with sugar in them. And I kept saying to my daughter I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm craving sugar.

Shannon:

Yeah, little did you know you had a small invader who was hungry.

Joyce:

Yes, I did not know that at all. The doctor is writing away like crazy on my records, what I've been doing, and he just was amazed. Shannon: Yeah, once you understand the problem, it's really not that hard. The beautiful thing about the gel is it actually doesn't add oxygen as much as take away acid, which any open wound is, of course, is an acid burn is what it is. So adding oxygen – the problem with adding oxygen like peroxide or something like that is, of course, the oxygen dissipates so it's no longer there or available. But if you remove the acidity it's a permanent thing.

By the way, just to let you know, I wasn't really counting the months that you had been on pHenomenal faithfully, and it does take longer for some people than others, but it's just a matter of getting on, and staying on. And usually your average person about two months after being on pHenomenal, they go back to the doctor and get another blood test and they can find out if they're MRSA free because, of course, that's the goal is to have your blood be MRSA free. And you're going to stick with it. I'd say two months from now just stick with it and then go back and have another blood test.

You have to get the person out of lactic acidosis. In other words, you have to get their body balanced again. And, of course, you have these little bacteria fighting the other way, but when you remove lactic acid, the bacteria can no longer fight and your own immune system handles the bacteria the way it should. Anyway, you'll get there. It sounds like you're back on track.

Joyce:

I'm trying. I'm trying.

Shannon:

And so, these spots on your legs, did they turn into scars? Are they still healing?

Joyce:

They're not as hard. Well, I also have lymph edema, which is swelling of the legs. The therapist I had this time was not as good. She said to me, what are those bruises on your leg. I mean she'd been treating me for two weeks. I wanted to say, you just noticed. But they fade until they look like bruises, except for that one that was as big as a teacup. That still looks kind of – it goes from being grayish and as it fades it turns to kind of a little purple. But the other ones went all the way down to looking like new bruises.

Shannon:

Well, not for much longer.

Joyce:

No, I hope not.

Shannon:

Well, that's fantastic. Hey, when you get your blood test that you're MRSA negative, will you call us back and we'll finish off this testimonial the way it should be?

Joyce:

Okay.

Shannon:

Thank you, Joyce.

Joyce:

Thank you, very much.
