I was so looking forward to reporting to you in the Spring that this was the first winter in forever that I did not get sick at all. Well, I guess I can't honestly do that now, but I still think the results are exciting, and Vivix has really improved my immune system. Here's why I say that.
Com'n! How can you really tell if your immune system is stronger? I used to think the only way you would know that is if you just didn't get sick as often; in other words, something that could only be measured over years. Well, I feel differently now. Even though I take very, very good care of myself (eat well, supplement well, exercise well, etc.) I have always had sinus problems, and once the weather turned cool in the Fall, waking up every morning meant having stuffed-up sinuses. It meant every morning I used the nettie pot to clean them out, and sipped a little osha (a native American herb) to shrink them down. And then getting a cold meant even more complex problems.
This morning, with a cold, is the first morning since I started taking Vivix that I have been stuffy in the nose and sinuses. This Fall has been wonderful! I feel like my immune system is so much stronger because of Vivix. Of course, I've reported that my energy level and my stamina are significantly better, so I don't get that "run down" feeling like I used to. And for some reason, I just feel that I'm not as vulnerable to the little sicknesses that run rampant in our society this time of year.
So I'm a little disappointed I can't report to you that I had an absolutely cold-free winter. But I am ecstatic to report to you that even though I have a cold, it doesn't feel like it's taken over my life. And I am so happy to report that since starting to take Vivix, my sinuses have been clearer than they have been for many, many, many years - shall we say "25" or so....?

So you're feelin' better, huh?
One morning recently during one of my 30-minute swims (2 or 3 times a week), I realized that I felt rather down - my energy level was kind of low. I didn't seem to have much drive for going through with the rest of those 16 laps I do in the middle of the workout (sort of the meat and potatoes of the deal). I could tell my body was just not giving forth like I've gotten used to recently. But I gave it a little kick in the pants (in the head, actually), and surprise (!), I had some energy to give it. Now that, my friends, is different. You see, this little "low energy deal" is something I've dealt with frequently on a cyclical basis for almost 15 years. Then I remembered just how frequently I used to feel that way, only much, much worse, and when I tried to give it the kick in the pants, there wasn't anything there to provide the oomph.
How quickly we forget, and how quickly I have forgotten, the constant pain, tight muscles, low energy, and general overall crappy feeling that used to be the norm for me. Sure, I still have ups and downs, high energy and low energy, some days of a little pain, some tight muscles. This I can tell you - in the past 3 months, some of my worst days (most pain, least energy, tightest muscles, etc.) have been more like what I used to experience on almost a daily basis. And before I started using Vivix, the worst days were ugly. I got through them, but they were ugly.
Some of my skeptical friends will say - "...so I thought this Vivix stuff was making you feel better." Yes, my skeptical friends, it is making me feel better. Am I going to have a perfect life? No. Am I feeling much, much better now? Yes. Bottom line: my chronic pain has been reduced by at least 50% since I started taking Vivix. How does that make me feel? ....at least 10 years younger......already....
Let's see, the list gets better and better over time:
more energy
more stamina
increased libido
reduced chronic pain
reduced muscle spasms
brighter outlook
....there's more.....stay tuned....

Having a feel
My house faces one of Kansas City's beautiful urban parks. I love my "front yard." I belong to "The Friends of Gillham Park," a non-profit service organization. One of our activities is to gather on the last Saturday morning each month to help give the park an extra spruce-up, picking up trash that sometimes gets missed by typical maintenance. (I also love this part - having my neighbors and friends help me take care of my "front yard.")
This last Saturday, as I grabbed my trash bag and started cleaning up, I noticed something. I was bending over and picking up little pieces of paper, glass, leftovers from car wrecks, like a young man - the man I felt like 10 to 15 years ago. That's different than the man I felt like a couple of months ago - when I was feeling like an old man, not a young man. Very simply, it didn't hurt, I didn't feel stiff and "old," every time I stopped over.
Why is this significant? This was day 51 of Vivix. I've had chronic pain in my hips, legs, and back for more than 15 years. I've spent thousands and thousands of dollars seeking help from physicians, dieticians, chiropractors, acupuncturists, Chinese medicine practitioners, massage therapists, reflexologists, allergy elimination therapists, psychologists, every woo-woo-ist you can imagine (including some religion-based helpers of mankind), all kinds of juices, supplements, and methods. I've learned a lot about myself and other people. When I started taking Vivix 51 days ago, I started noticing a difference in the pain. However, it has always been cyclicle, and I knew that I might be experiencing a low-pain fluctuation. To be fair, I would need 60 to 90 days to know if there really was a difference. There is. I can easily say (and I'm being conservative here), that my overall pain has been reduced 25 to 30 percent. Maybe it's been reduced 50% - pain is a hard thing to quantify - especially when we have a tendency to forget about past experiences with it (thank goodness for our sanity).
The pain still exists. It still fluctuates. I have good moments and not-so-good moments, fun days and not-so-fun days. But I know I feel a lot better - and I feel like a much younger man. And oh, by the way, my increase in stamina is still remarkable to me.

On Getting Younger
Hmmmmm. Getting younger - not something with which our world has a lot of experience. There are probably some sci-fi examinations. But, let's get real.
If I'm 59, and suddenly I have the energy of a forty-year-old, what does that do to my body? (I can hear some of you saying, "This is a problem?!?") OK, I agree, it's a good thing.
If I'm 59, and suddenly I develop the stamina of a forty-year-old, how does my mind deal with that? (Some of you are still chiming in, "This is a problem?!?") Well, there are some mental adjustments to be made here. Night before last, I got only 4 1/2 hours of sleep - for me, this is a sure indicator that I'd be dragging by the end of the day. A couple of times during the day I felt like I just really needed to go take a nap, but one detail after another, and I just kept going. By 8:30 PM, I was tired, but certainly not strung out (like I would normally be). When I did go to bed about 10:00 PM, I was tired, no doubt about it, but the amazing thing was that I was just tired, not dead tired, not body-numbing tired, not scraping-the-bottom-of-the-energy-barrel tired. Now my 59-year-experienced mind doesn't have to steel itself for the mental fortitude required to weather the physical onslaught of tiredness. But OK, I agree, it's a good thing!
If I'm 59, and suddenly I have the libido of a forty-year-old, how does my mind deal with that?!? (So, before you say, "This is a problem?!?"...think about it.) Looking back over your life, (especially you guys with the testosterone-driven libidos), how have you adjusted with age to the "gentler" influences of waning libido? And suddenly, your libido is not so gentle? Now this, my friends, is an adjustment. Is this a good thing?
You answer the question.
I'm looking forward to a great Vivix day...and the adjustments! Are you?

Auspicious Day
The Ides of August (well, not "technically," but this isn't Rome, is it?). It's always been an auspicious day for me, and I somehow feel like it will be today, too. It's a full moon. It's 8/08. I feel great!
I've been using Vivix for one full week now and the only thing I can report at this time is that I am feeling an incredible increase in energy. Now, I've had times like this in the past, too, so who knows if it's the Vivix making the difference - but I'm certainly willing to believe it at this point, and to be confident that it will continue. I fully expect it. (By the way, I just finished my first bottle of Vivix, supposedly 10 servings, but I only got 9 out of it. Hmmmm, that "teaspoon" I'm using, must be a little bit big.)
I have never been so excited about a product and an idea the way I am excited about this Vivix (and the corresponding compensation plan). I was introduced to it about one week ago (8/8/08) at the New Orleans convention of the Shaklee Corporation. I have expectations....hopes.....whatever you want to call them. I expect Vivix to make huge changes in my life - in my health, and in my wealth.
I want to tell the whole world (and I haven't started doing that yet ?!?!?!?!). Well, I want to have someplace to send them to learn about it (getting there), and I have shared it with a few folks (and have trouble not hosing them down with my excitement)...guess that's a good thing!
