Just had to share this wonderful story.
My Cancer Story
By Kim H.
In January of 2007, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy and then started chemotherapy a month later. My sister had undergone chemotherapy and while she assured me I would be fine, she also gave me pointers on how to cope with the very uncomfortable (okay, miserable) side effects such as bowel distress and mouth sores.
With this in mind, I knew I had to do something to try to build my body’s defense systems. When Kathy Price walked into my office one day, I followed a prompting to ask her about Body Balance. I began taking it immediately.
I had chemotherapy treatments every other week and I was on what they refer to as “dose-dense” therapy. In other words, they plastered me with chemo because I had a very aggressive form of breast cancer. While I did suffer with nausea, especially with the first drug, I kept waiting for the abdominal distress to come. I never got it. I also seemed to bounce back faster than other chemo patients. When I sat in the therapy room with other ladies, I could hear them talking about the famous mouth sores. I was so afraid of getting them because to hear them talk, they would totally put you out of commission, and I needed to be able to work. One woman described her mouth sores as if someone had pulled her tongue out of her mouth and run a cheese grater over it until it was raw and bleeding.
When I started the second drug, a receptionist handed me a piece of paper with suggestions as to what I could do when I developed mouth sores. I told her that I hadn’t had any yet. She said, “Well, I hope you don’t get them, but most people do.” A few week later, I awoke in the night with a very sore tongue. It felt as if it were on fire and like I had extremely large canker sores…although I didn’t. I got out of bed and took a pain killer, but I also put some Body Balance in my mouth and just let it sit there for quite awhile. I did this several times throughout the day and by that evening, my sore mouth was gone. When I related this story to my doctor he said, that doesn’t happen to anybody! If they get mouth sores, they really get mouth sores.”
Another blessing I had was that of my blood count. I never had to take a shot to keep my platelets or red blood cell count high. My doctor would say, “I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep it up.”
One day my daughter was visiting me while I was on chemo, and she said, “Mother, I haven’t heard you complain headache for a long time.” I had to stop and think about it. I had suffered with migraines for some time, and after my daughter said that, I realized I hadn’t had a headache for several weeks. And I have only had one bad headache since that time. My migraines are gone. I also don’t have any restless legs anymore.
I am convinced that I need it for overall well-being, but also to help my body fight off a return of the cancer.

Now Body Balance has 65% more Sea Vegetables and a more potent Aloe Vera. Still the same great taste too. I hope you give it a try.
Be well,
