Shirley, Wisconsin
I am 57 years old and I take and ounce of JC Tonic® a day, sometimes and ounce and a half. First of all, THANK YOU Debra Janz and Roger for eaves dropping in on our conversation at the restaurant where my friends and I were having lunch one Sunday. Roger gave me a one ounce monodose and by Thursday night's meeting I bought more.
Before starting on JC Tonic®, I was ready to quite my job, which was only nine to fifteen hours a week, because I didn't have the stamina or energy to do it. I would go to the chiropractor at least once a week if not two or three times. My medical history includes two car accidents that really messed up my neck, degenerative arthritic disease in my spine (bottom 3 discs are affected), fibromyalgia, gout, bursitis of the hips for 20 years, rheumatoid arthritis in my hands, carpal tunnel, fibrous tumors of the ankles, fallen arches, arthritis and tendonitis in both shoulders, tendonitis in my right elbow, hot flashes, constipation, trouble sleeping, allergies to all medications, rhinitis, sinus problems, Barrett's Esophagus, circulation problems, low energy, low blood pressure, muscle cramps throughout my body, and shortness of breath when I tried to exercise. I am hard of hearing in both ears, sugar intolerant and lactose intolerant. I have problems with my knees and numbness in both of my hands. I had constant pain in my hands, hips, feet, neck and back. My hands were swollen all the time and becoming numb. My left thumb had shooting pain and a spur about the size of a marble growing on the knuckle. Being allergic to pain medication, I couldn't take anything for the pain. I had dropped a butcher knife into my right foot, got four stitches and the pain never went away. I dropped a hot iron on my arm about a week later. My hands couldn't hold anything anymore.
After I started to drink JC Tonic®, it was only five days later and I was sleeping better and after six days the swelling in my ankles wend down. In two months the swelling was gone. After nine months of continuous pain from the knife injury in my foot, it now doesn't hurt anymore and the scar disappeared after being on the tonic seven weeks. The scar from the iron has almost disappeared too. They were both a very dark brown. I always did scar easily. I don't bruise easily anymore. What difference does that make? A lot, because I would just bump up against something and get a big, dark, ugly bruise and it would hurt for days. The doctors couldn't explain it.
After ten days it was like someone turned on a switch inside me and my energy came back like I hadn't felt since before my hysterectomy in 2000. After my hysterectomy I was put on a very strong hormone. It actually made me very sick. I felt I must have been allergic to it, but the doctor refused to take me off of it and put me on something else. I finally told him he had better let me try something else or I would quit it all together. So he put me on a lesser dose of another brand. After I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus, I asked to be put on a patch to bypass my stomach. My nutritionist agreed, but the patch still gave me problems. Being on JC Tonic® only six weeks took care of all these problems.
Being sugar intolerant and having cravings for sugar was not a good thing. By three weeks, I didn't have any sugar cravings. Many things started to happen at the six week mark of taking JC Tonic®. My acid reflux was much better. I am off the two medications I was on and am now only drinking JC Tonic®. I still have to watch what I am eating. Not having to take the two medications I was on alone is saving me over $77.00 a month. I am saving on other supplements and chiropractic treatments also. I only go to the chiropractor once a month, so I figure that saves me around $200-$300 a month.
The pain in my hips was so bad that I couldn't sleep at night. My hips were constantly going out of place causing he pain. After six weeks on JC Tonic® the pain was completely gone. Seven weeks marked another turn in health. My constipation problem corrected itself and also my knees improved.
One morning I woke up with a hot burning sensation going up my spine. It felt great. My back is doing better all the time. I took at 200 mile drive in the car recently, which I haven't been able to do for three years, and I had no problem with sitting or cramps and I felt good when I got home.
After eight weeks I noticed that I wasn't having sinus problems like I usually did during the spring/fall months. My circulation is much better and I am not cold all the time. I can sleep good now with a fan on. That is great because I used to sleep all summer with two blankets on. The spur on my hand disappeared after about eight weeks on the JC Tonic®. The movement started to come back. The swelling is now gone during the day and my hands are beginning to look normal, the knuckles are not as deformed looking as before.
