I
have an unusual medical history that dates back to
when I was about seventeen (1977). At that time I
developed a form of irritable bowel syndrome that
resulted in intestinal "dumping" if I ate
sugary foods. The problem gradually got worse and
worse until just about anything would trigger it. I
tried diet changes and various kinds of medications
and nothing helped. Since this seems to have
originated from the small bowel, it resulted in bile
and stomach acids being dumped into the large bowel,
which produced very unpleasant systemic symptoms --
basically I would feel terribly ill for a day or two
afterwards, so I lived my life walking on eggshells.
Starting
in about 1998, a new problem was added: spontaneous
cramps in various muscles. Sometimes it would be
muscle masses just above the groin (at one point I was
checked for appendicitis). Once I spontaneously tore a
rotator cuff in one shoulder while sitting in a chair
doing absolutely nothing but writing at my computer
(it was treated by a sports medicine doc who assured
me that this could NOT have happened spontaneously and
wanted to know what I was trying to hide).
Then
I started having increasing, widespread muscular pain.
I found your product while doing a web search on
fibromyalgia and started taking it about a month ago.
Starting
about three weeks after beginning to take EZorb, I
have had a complete remission of all symptoms -- not
just the shoulder and other muscle pains (which was
all I was hoping for) but the irritable bowel symptoms
too. Apparently they all resulted from the same cause.
Interestingly,
I had seen tons of traditional and alternative medical
practitioners over the years, one of whom (a
naturopathic physician) had put me on a ton of
supplements including a Cal-Mag supplement. It had no
effect on this at all. EZorb stopped it in its tracks.
Evidently
I must be resistant to the absorption of calcium in
some way, and the calcium carbonate or citrate forms
don't do anything for me.
I'm
glad I found you!

I
think it's time to share my testimonial. I am a 59
year old female and have had osteoporosis for several
years. My mother and adult daughter also have it. I
had a bone density test (DEXA) in 2003 to see how
extensive the osteoporosis was. My doctor tried to get
me to take Fosamax or Evista. I prefer natural healing
methods and I don't use pharmaceuticals. The side
effects of these drugs are numerous and the bone that
is produced is brittle and not of good quality.
I
immediately went a nutritionist and got another bone
test on his acuDEXA to establish a base line. The
nutritionist suggested a product called Ultimate Bone
Builder so I began taking it and had my bones tested
again 6 months later. There was no improvement, just
more bone loss so I stopped taking that product and
began searching for a better product. In May of 2004,
I ordered EZorb after reading about it on the
Internet. My next test in August 2004 showed that the
bone loss was slowing down. My recent test last
Thursday (Jan. 19, 2006) showed that the bone loss has
now reversed and I am now building bone. I emailed
EZorb and they told me that I had increased my bone
density by just slightly short of 5%. That's a 5%
increase in 18 months.
There
were a few months in 2005 that I stopped taking all my
supplements (including EZorb) due to job stress, time
constraints, etc. and I didn't lift weights very
regularly either. I think my bone density would have
increased faster had I been lifting weights twice a
week and taking the EZorb faithfully every day. I'm
going to do just that for the next 3 months and then
have another test to see if the rate of bone building
has been accelerated. I want to improve from
osteoporosis to osteopenia as quickly as possible to
reduce the risk of fracture and then, at some point,
reach normal bone density.
I
would like to give a short explanation about the two
types of bone testing that I did. On May 23, 2003, I
went to Osteoporosis Centre for the big, expensive
DEXA test that measures bone density in the spine. Ten
days later I went to a nutritionist who had a small
machine called an acuDEXA that measured the middle
finger of my right hand (a $25 test). Testing just one
finger exposes a person to less radiation. If the
finger is gaining bone, then the rest of the skeleton
is also gaining, but not necessarily at a uniform
speed. I think there is an irregular pattern of bone
growth with some areas gaining faster than other
areas.
Here
is a record of my test results and the date that I
started taking EZorb: May 23, 2003 - DEXA at the
Osteoporosis Centre - X-Ray of spine (T scores = -2.7
to -3.8) June 3, 2003 - First acuDEXA from
nutritionist - X-ray of middle finger (BMD 0.427) Dec.
11, 2003 - Second acuDEXA from nutritionist - X-ray of
middle finger (BMD 0.411) May 20, 2004 - I started
taking EZorb. Aug 24, 2004 - Third acuDEXA from
nutritionist - X-ray of middle finger (BMD 0.407) Jan
19, 2006 - Fourth acuDEXA from nutritionist - X-ray of
middle finger (BMD 0.427)
Even
though my current score of .427 is the same as it was
in June 2003, the bone loss has stopped and my bone
density is now increasing. If I continue building bone
at this rate, my bones should reach normal bone
density in five years. I'm hoping to speed that up as
I mentioned. I will send my test score to you next
May. Another gain that I've made is that a small,
painful bump on my thumb joint shrinks and stops
hurting when I take EZorb regularly and starts growing
(and hurting) again when I stop. I'm not sure exactly
what it is -- maybe a bone spur. Whatever it is, it's
a great little reminder to get back on the product.
Thanks
to all the people at Elixir Industry for making this
great product available. I hope this testimonial will
help others.

Research Digest: Low-Carb Diets May Raise 'Bad' Cholesterol Levels
Although
low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets give similar
effects in terms of long-term weight loss, restricting
carbohydrate intake may increase levels of
"bad" cholesterol, called low-density
lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, a review of published
studies suggests.
"Low-carbohydrate
diets have become increasingly popular for weight
loss. However, evidence from individual trials about
benefits and risks of these diets to achieve weight
loss and modify cardiovascular risk factors is
preliminary," explain Dr Alain Nordmann, from
University Hospital Basel in Switzerland, and
colleagues.
They
therefore reviewed the results of five studies,
involving more than 400 participants aged 42 to 49
years, that compared the effects of low-carbohydrate
diets, in which no more than 60 g of carbohydrate
could be eaten in a day, and low-fat diets, in which a
maximum of 30% of daily calories were obtained from
fats.
The
researchers found that after 6 months, dieters were
more likely to stick with the low-carbohydrate diet
than the low-fat scheme, at 70% and 56%, respectively.
Furthermore,
after the 6 months, those following the
low-carbohydrate diet had lost an average of 3.3 kg
more than those using the low-fat plan. However, by 12
months, weight loss, blood pressure, and diet
completion rates were similar between the two groups
of dieters.
When
the researchers studied cholesterol levels among the
participants, they found that, after 6 months, total
cholesterol levels were 8.9 mg/dl higher in the
low-carbohydrate dieters than in the low-fat dieters,
and after 12 months, they were 10.1 mg/dl higher.
Similarly,
levels of LDL cholesterol were 5.4 and 7.7 mg/dl
higher in low-carbohydrate after 6 and 12 months,
respectively, than in low-fat dieters.
However,
the low-carbohydrate diet did produce slight increases
in levels of "good" cholesterol, called
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and decreases in
levels of other potentially damaging blood fats after
6 months compared with the low-fat diet.
Nevertheless,
Dr Nordmann and team conclude in the Archives of
Internal Medicine: "In the absence of evidence
that low-carbohydrate diets reduce cardiovascular
morbidity [illness] and mortality, such diets
currently cannot be recommended for prevention of
cardiovascular disease."
