Sick and tired finds company

This is what my husband had (chronic fatigue syndrome) til Jesus Christ helped him and he took this and this; he tried eating healthy, but eating healthy was not enough. He's been taking those two products (click on the links for more info) for about 4 years now and he's had excellent results. I've also heard of people with fibromyalgia-taking those two products and seeing excellent results. But I would definetly recommend talking to your health professional first and consulting with him/her whether or not you should take the 7-day colon cleanse or the digestive enzymes (depending on what med you may be on), before you start any nutrition/supplementation, so that you can get optimal results. On the website shopinsuperhighway.com you can even print out a label to show your doctor the list of ingredients! For more information contact us

CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ Most of the 15 people gathered for a support group this month
did not look sick. But when they began to talk about their common conditions,
the list of symptoms went on and on. Pain, fatigue, depression. Insomnia,
nausea, headaches. Muscle spasms, ringing in the ears and sensitivity to heat,
cold or light. Dr. Charles Lapp has heard all of this before. He's medical
director of the Hunter-Hopkins Center, a Charlotte clinic that focuses on
patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Many group members are
his patients. But instead of letting the support group descend into gloom and
despair, Lapp tries to lead with hope and help. He's currently offering a new
series of free classes that help patients take back some control over their
lives and better cope with the main symptoms: pain, fatigue and insomnia.
