Testimonial Time

WARNING:  This post might be redundant....but when I come across it again for myself, it will be a good reminder for me.

I often wonder how well extra nutrition is really working.  I know I have sung the praises so for of the multivitamins and the terrazymes, but I guess I didn't realize how much they really were affecting me until I started to run out this week and my new order had not come in yet.  For about 48 hours, I was unable to consume my normal amounts of terrazymes.  No biggie, right?  WRONG!  The stomach upset came back, the pain....the abdominal pain is the worst.  It starts in my belly and climbs up into my chest cavity.  It all came back including  the heavy-in-your-stomach feeling....ugh!  Last night, it got really bad.  Thankfully, yesterday the new shipment arrived.  I took two-three terrazymes at supper, but since I had not been taking them, I still had all the abdominal pain.  Thank goodness for peppermint and digestzen....I drank that last night and it helped resolved the pain.  This morning, I feel ALOT better.  The point?  I don't ever want to run out of those bad boys again.  That was miserable and even though I can cut the pain with some of the oils, I would rather just have the pills on hand all the time so I don't go without. I didn't realize going off for such a short time would affect me that much, but apparently it does. 

I will say this, I was already convinced these products were helping me, but after last night I have been 150% convinced.  Whatever my hang ups still are with MLM's (multilevel marketing companies) and whether oils are just another fad that might fade away, and whether or not they work all the time,  I cannot argue with what happened last night.  There is something behind the science of what this company has put together.....and I'm sold.

An added note to self:  It has been really easy, when I am faithfully taking the terrazymes, to get carried away with eating whatever I want, because now I can.  It doesn't hurt me anymore.  I can have ice cream and sugar and I don't get sick, PRAISE GOD!  uh, yeah......well, while terrazymes have regulated my tummy and digestive issues, it doesn't stop the fat and extra calories from said ice cream and sugary treats from depositing themselves onto my hips and affecting my blood pressure, my heart, my sugar levels, my health.......  Yes, the terrazymes help, but they are not an excuse to eat in an unhealthy way.  It reminds me of how the Bible talks about the grace of God.  The grace of God is amazing and a beautiful thing!  But it doesn't give us a license to do whatever we feel like cause after all God's grace will catch me when I fall on purpose.....Nope, it doesn't give us a license to walk all over the grace of God....terrazymes are like that ;)  They are amazing and beautiful little pills, but they do not give me or anyone else the license to eat whatever I feel like....the I-can-eat-whatever-I-feel-like mentality will eventually catch up with me and those consequences I still have to deal with.....like having a muffin whose top is getting just a bit larger and having to do funny little stretches once I'm in my now-painted-on-jeans in order to get them to fit a bit more comfortably.....and who knows, over time, other health issues that simply come from eating an unhealthy way.

These pills are a support system behind an already healthy life style.  I need to keep that in mind.
