Salt & Blood Pressure

Mayor Bloomberg made an announcement urging people to cut back on the intake of salt.

About 15 years ago, my mother was told that she has hypertension and for over 10 years her doctors prescribed different medications to help her control her blood pressure. Over the course of ten-some years I have had to rush her to the emergency room on several occasions because almost everytime her doctor decided to have her try a different medication that's new to the market, she would try it, her blood pressure and heart rate would drop drastically, and her heart beat almost stopped.

About 5 years ago, the pills finally took a toll her her kidneys and she had to be placed on dialysis. But before dialysis could be performed through her arm, the surgeons had to cut an emergency opening on her chest to dialyse her from there. I will never forget that day because her upper left chest would not stop bleeding after the surgery. And because the ER was so busy that day I literally sat next to her for over 3 hours just holding down the gauge pad covering the surgical opening since her bleeding would not stop.

I almost fainted because I am just like that with blood.

For the next 3 years, she had to undergo dialysis 3 times a week. 4~5 hours each time. Now for those of you who has never been to a dialysis center, this is how it looks. It' is basically one big room with about 30~50 big dialysis machines where patients sit down next to their designated machine, get hooked up so the machines can suck out all the blood in their bodies, clean it, then pumps it back into the body.

Last week I went to draw blood for a routine physical and I felt every drop of blood that left my right arm in just 5 seconds. I cannot imagine how painful dialysis must be for the people who had to endure it. But thanks be with God, my mother was so lucky that she received a donor kidney 1 year after she was placed on the waiting list.

So what's my point in sharing this?

If the mayor of NYC is urging people to put less salt in their bodies, there must be a big group of Americans who have hypertension and are on those same pills my mom takes.

MonaVie Pulse is clinically proven to lower blood pressure and cholesterol and it is nothing but organic fruit juice. It is FDA approved and it tasts good!!!

What's the cost of a bottle of MonaVie? $23~$45 depending on how many you buy at a time. Drinking MonaVie costs on average $1.55~$3.00 each day.

Compare that to a cup of Starbucks! How'bout the cost of a new kidney? Or the cost of a heart attack?!?!?!

I am making a big push to market MonaVie Pulse through our store on 257W34. Business and profits is one thing, but when you have a goal and mission to help others, money will come naturally as a result. I encourage everyone to share this product with as many people as you possibly can.

American health care is dominated by the pharmaceutical companies that make pills to fix one thing but break another. Just pay attention to the end of all pharmaceutical commercials where they tell you not to take the pills if you have kidney or liver problems. Does that mean if you have healthy kidneys and livers to start with, the pills will later ruin them?

Of course when we are sick, we need to seek medical help. And thank God for all the doctors who are saving lives out there and the staff at my mother's dialysis center who kept her alive through the past years. But why wait until we get really sick?

MonaVie is preventive and it costs less than any illness.

I drink it every morning and night. My entire family including my 1 year old son and 4 year old daughter drink MonaVie everyday and they love it!

Drink it. Feel it. Share it!

See you guys this evening... and

See You @ The Top!
