Anxiety and Life Long Vitality Supplements

Thanks so much to one of our team members for the following testimonial.  She discovered that one of the many benefits of the Life Long Vitality supplements was being able to wean herself off her anti-anxiety medication!  How wonderful is that!

The year 2011 has been a hard one for me and my family.  I felt that I was at one of the lowest points of my life, since the death of my mother 20 years ago, in April of this year.  Our family went through a lot of transitions - buying and selling a home, working two jobs while transitioning to a new job, living with in laws, children changing schools, and the loss of a pregnancy. 

As I sat in my doctor's office for a follow up through my tears I promised her that I would faithfully take my anti anxiety medication that I had been on for the previous three years.  I did.  But I felt nothing.  I continued going through the motions of life but I felt nothing.  My husband found a new job with increased pay.  He found an amazing home and bought it for me.  My children were thriving in their new school.  Yet I was numb.

This was not the way I wanted to feel.  This was not the way I wanted my children to remember me.  And this is not the way I felt when I began my medication.  I was introduced to doTERRA and the oils helped us win the battle of my sons allergies.  I decided it was time for me to try something for myself, I started with Balance and Serenity.  I could tell a difference but still felt the need to take my medication as well.  I read more about the Lifelong Vitality Pack and thought I would put the 30 day money back guarantee to work.  It was the first time I have take a supplement and felt a difference.

My head was clear, I didn't get fatigued in the afternoon, and when I got myself out of bed I didn't long to get back in it after my kids went to school.  That was just the first week.  The second week I decided to focus on taking the vitamins first and then take my medication if I needed it.  I still took three that week.  The third week I did the same but only took one that week and the fourth week was the same.  I am happy to say that I have not taken any prescription medication since July of last year.  I enjoy each day I have with my family.  I am also able to see all the blessings and wonderful things that have happened in our lives.  I wasn't sure that was ever going happen. 

Testimonial from a Teenager!

Just had to share a fun testimonial with all of you - this from a 16 year old teenager!  She came to a class and when she arrived she had really bad cramps.  We quickly gave her some lavender, frankincense and rosemary for her tummy area and some Deep Blue for her sore back.  She had relief right away.  She has been using her oils at home and here is what she had to say when I asked her how she was doing with them  and how they were helping her cramps!

Yah it was AMAZING! I wasn't sure but I guessed and used lavender, frankincense, and deep blue. I think you said rosemary would help with that too but I was out of town and had only brought the family physician kit. I use frankincense and melaluca with the fractionated coconut oil every day on my face and love what it's doing. 

I also do oregano and on guard on my feet every night for immunity boost because I get sick pretty easily. My sister and her husband are here with us right now and they both came SUPER sick and I've been doing that and haven't gotten sick at all! Also, I gave them lemon+melaluca+on guard for their chest throat and back along with breathe and they are totally better! I went tubing with a friend's  family and I hurt myself twice in 4 days... I put deep blue on and the pain totally went away. I've also used that past tense magic stuff and WHOA. Lovin it. Don't have it with me here in Sisters but my sis had a headache so I just gave her lavender with peppermint and she said it was amazing how it helped!

So yah, I'm a convert! I also love putting a drop of lemon in my mouth every day.
