I've been away too long ....

I am so sorry ... it has been awhile since I posted about Plexus and how things are going for me.    Health-wise I have been feeling GREAT.  Business-wise Plexus is the most amazing company.  But weight-wise ... well ... I stopped losing weight for about a year ... and even gained a little back.    The scale wasn't working and I was feeling SO GOOD and my clothing sizes were going down ... and down ... but we got the scale fixed and as of today I am 22 pounds down from where I first started.    Not as cool as the 31 pounds it was ... but still way better than being OVER where I started!   I stopped losing weight around the same time I had to give up my Personal Trainer whom I saw twice a week.  BUT I kept losing inches ... ???   I've hired her back and we start up again on Monday June 15th  ... so I am revitalizing this BLOG, too!!  

I was inspired at Convention by this Pleximony:

And after hearing all of that .... I decided to recommit myself to actually TRYING to lose weight ... Thus rehiring my Trainer ... weighing again .... and actively being aware of food intake!!

I did not weigh when I got back from Convention on Sunday June 7th because I was absolutely bloated with retained water .... I was unable to drink the amounts of water I wanted to and needed to drink while at convention and I think that traveling also made that worse.  I have since lost all that retained water and I am very pleased to say that I am down 7 pounds from what I weighed on June 3 ... before Convention.  I hate the scale ... but now that it is working again, I cannot avoid it, it seems!!

I started the 21 day Gut-Buster P96 Challenge on Wednesday and took measurements and weighed in for that.  I am going to see it through for 21 days and report in on that.  Here is what it entails ... but I am sad to report that it is very difficult to get the P96 right now!!  Plexus is working on that ...

In a Blender mix 1 packet P96  Protein shake mix, One stick of Slim, and 8-12 oz of UNSWEETENED Coconut Milk.  Add ice and/or Fruit and Blend.  Drink it down.  That's Breakfast.    Next morning, Repeat .... for 21 days. 

People are reporting inches lost around the waist and hips and weight-loss, too.    It's tasty and easy and helps me get good protein in me in the morning.  I'll keep you posted.

In the picture above, you see the So Delicious Coconut Milk.  I tried using that a couple of weeks ago and it caused me to have some pretty serious intestinal pains and lots of gas .... NOT GOOD.  I am trying to heal my Leaky Gut and I think something in the So Delicious brand is poking holes in me, much like Carrageenan did.   This brand does not contain Carrageenan, but it does have other types of emulsifiers and preservatives in it which I seem to have developed a sensitivity to in the past couple of months.   SO .... I tried the Canned Coconut Milk which has two ingredients in it .... Coconut Milk ... and Water.   I dilute it further with 3-4 more cans of water and keep it shakable refrigerator bottle.  It separates and must be shaken before using.    No issues at all intestinally when using the canned milk!!  WooHoo!

So .... I have changed something that I have been doing for probably 20 years .... and I think this is BIG.  I have stopped using Coffeemate French Vanilla Creamer in my coffee every morning.  I quit about 2 months ago and I think this one thing is making a HUGE difference in my gut health.  ((Well, along with my Plexus ProBio5 and BioCleanse, of course!)    Coffeemate creamers contain Carrageenan ... which is an emulsifier derived from seaweed and is used in lots of Natural and Organic products ... here is just one article about it .... Carrageenan .... but feel free to run searches yourself.     I remember that when I first started drinking Coffeemate French Vanilla Creamer back in the mid-to-late 1990's ..... around that same time I started having intense intestinal pains .... but I NEVER correlated the two until just recently.  Actually until I started reading about Carrageenan.  

CoffeeMate French Vanilla Cramer has been my one constant, consistent CHEAT on every diet I have ever been on since I started drinking it.  I don't drink a lot of coffee ... but every morning I had coffee with this creamer in it.  EVERY MORNING!  Until a couple of months ago.   I had been taking my ProBio5 and my Biocleanse and they have helped me a lot .... but I could tell I still had Yeast Overgrowth issues AND that it was escaping my guts, so that meant Leaky Gut issues .... Google it .... it's not pretty and causes lots of health issues in people. 

So .... after 20 years of drinking something that was destroying my gut lining .... and very painfully, at that, I have finally quit!  AND I think my gut is healing!!  The Yeast issues in and on my body seem to be subsiding finally.  Plexus Probio5 and BioCleanse ... along with the Slim .... these products are my heros!!     And apparently Coffeemate and Carrageenan are the enemy!!  And maybe other emulsifiers, too!

So .... Be looking for more posts from me about how the 21-Day Gut-Buster P96 Challenge is going ... AND about successes in general!!

Disclaimer: Plexus does not claim to cure, treat, or prevent any disease. This is a personal testimony from someone who uses Plexus products

Plexus Cures ....

Here's a short list of the illnesses and conditions which Plexus Cures ....

1.
2.
3.

These are BLANK because Plexus is NOT a Cure!!   It will not CURE your obesity.  It will not CURE your diabetes.  It will not CURE your depression, or anxiety, or MS, or RA, or insomnia!!  I looked up "cure" in the dictionary ... here's one part of the definition:

1. noun
a. A drug or course of medical treatment used to restore health: discovered a new cure for ulcers.

b. Restoration of health; recovery from disease: the likelihood of cure.

c. Something that corrects or relieves a harmful or disturbing situation: The cats proved to be a good cure for our mouse problem.

 

In this sense, Plexus does "cure" some things .... it can help to restore health in many people and might relieve a harmful condition .... but I don't think that is how most people think of the word "cure".

 

A second part of the definition of "cure" is:

 

1. verb

a. To cause to be free of a disease or unhealthy condition: medicine that cured the patient of gout.

b. To cause to be free of, to lose interest in, or to stop doing something: a remark that cured me of the illusion that I might be a good singer; a bad reaction that cured him of the desire to smoke cigars; a visit to the dentist that cured her of eating sweets.

2. To eliminate (a disease, for example) from the body by medical or other treatment; cause recovery from: new antibiotics to cure infections.

3. To remove or remedy (something harmful or disturbing): cure a social evil.

 

I think most people think the work "cure" means to totally be free from whatever condition it is you want cured.   Plexus will not cause you to be totally free of a disease or condition.  It might help relieve the symptoms .... but if you stop the Plexus, and return to an unhealthy lifestyle,  most likely the problem will return.

 

What Plexus offers is a more NATURAL approach to treating your conditions vs the pharmaceutical industry approach. 

 

Here are some conditions which Plexus can possibly help treat:

 

1. Diabetes
2. High Blood Pressure
3. Depression/Anxiety
4. Obesity
5. RA
6. MS
7. ADHD
8. ADD
9. Autism
10. IBS
11. Fibromyalgia
12. Migraines
13. Insomnia
14. Thyroid issues
15. Lyme's Disease
16. and a host of other things .... this list seems to go on and on ....

 

Does Plexus CURE these things?  NO!!  Does Plexus help many people who suffer from these conditions feel better?  OFTEN!!  Does Plexus help EVERYBODY who suffers from these conditions?  NO!  Not everybody.  Could it help you??  MAYBE!!

 

Plexus Slim was developed for Type 2 Diabetics to help level out their Blood Sugars NATURALLY ... and it really does seem to work!!     On Type 2 Diabetics, on Type 1 Diabetics, on normal regular people who don't have Diabetes .... Plexus Slim helps to balance out your blood sugars .... and as a result, people feel better.     Is it a cure for anything??  NO.   But if a simple pink drink used daily helps you to feel better overall .... feel younger, have more energy, sleep better, etc ... then okay!!!    You just have to decide if the cost of the drink is worth it to you?

 

MOST people invest in Plexus Slim because they want to lose weight.   And many have lost weight ... from a few pounds to 130+ pounds.  Have all lost weight?  NO!  Does it happen overnight?  NO!  But many who initially bought in to lose weight have found numerous really nice "side effects" to drinking the Pink Drink.  I have already listed several in the list above .... here are some that I personally have noticed:

 

1. Sleeping Better:  I still probably wake up 5-6 times a night .... but this is nothing like it used to be.  I USED TO wake up 20-30 times a night and rarely would I fall into a deep lasting sleep.  I didn't lay awake in the middle of the night, either ... I just woke up A LOT.  I didn't dream much.  When the alarm went off I would hit the snooze several times before pulling myself out of bed.  NOW I am dreaming at night and I wake up refreshed and ready to go.  My alarm goes off and my mind is AWAKE!    As a result of that, I have more energy during the day and I no longer need afternoon naps.  The naps were also related to post-lunch blood sugar issues, I believe.
2.  Literally WANTING to Eat Better:    I no longer have cravings for unhealthy foods!  Now my cravings are for Vegetables and Salads and Proteins!!  It is totally not like I was for 50+ years of my life.  Using Plexus products literally makes me want to eat better!
3. I am HAPPY:   I have been able to get off over 20 years of antidepressant usage!!  And I feel great!   I will NEVER give up my Pink Drink and Accelerator+ because of this. 
4. I am REGULAR:  Details in another post in this BLOG titled Not Discussed in Polite Company .... I owe a HEAP of praise to Plexus BioCleanse for fixing an issue I have dealt with for decades.   Am I cured?? NO!!  If I stopped Plexus BioCleanse, that issue would return.  SO ... I am not ever going to stop using BioCleanse!!
5. Better Blood Pressure:  I have been able to get off my Blood Pressure meds.   Something in the Plexus products I am taking has helped me with this.  Am I cured??  NO!  But the Plexus products are a more NATURAL solution to my blood pressure issues and I no longer suffer from the side effects of the pharmaceutical BP meds I was taking.
6. No more Intestinal Distress:  I used to feel gassy and bloated and often in pain.  Was it IBS?  Maybe ... I never tried to be diagnosed.  All I know is that I do not feel that way anymore and that I am very grateful!  I am certain that it's the Probio5 and the Biocleanse .... used in conjunction with the Slim ... which have given me better intestinal health.  Once again ... I do not claim to be cured ... I just feel so much better now!!
7. Pain Management:  I used to take 4-6 Aleve per DAY to help me with shoulder and neck pain and sometimes that didn't even help.  I still have several bottles of Aleve stockpiled.  I haven't taken Aleve in 18 months .... ever since starting Plexus.  I still have shoulder and neck pain but I am able to control that now using Plexus Fast Relief products .... all natural!!  I am no longer using NSAIDS and potentially harming my liver.    I haven't needed heating pads nor cold packs .... both of which I used to use all the time.  I LOVE the Fast Relief products and also never want to go without them!!!

I know people who have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia who within 3 days of starting the Pink Drink begin to feel better.  Did Plexus CURE them in 3 days??  NO!!  If they were to STOP Plexus products they would probably revert back to feeling poorly.  So .... they don't stop .... and now they are using natural plant based supplements to help them feel better VS the pharmaceuticals which only kind of helped them feel better and had horrible side effects in many cases.

 

Apparently, the  FDA and the FTC are watching our every post and now we aren't supposed to mention an illness in conjunction with Plexus .... Not Diabetes, not Candida, not Fibromyalgia, not depression, not anything.    Seriously??  If YOU suffered from one or more of these issues, and started using Plexus and felt better, wouldn't YOU want to tell EVERYBODY about it?    If you replaced prescription medications with a more natural alternative, wouldn't you want to tell everyone about it??   Why do you think you are seeing so many people posting about Plexus???   IT IS HELPING PEOPLE FEEL BETTER!!!   Is it CURING them??  NO!!  But they feel better and they want their friends and families and total strangers to feel better too!!
