I started Xooma in January 2011. At the first meeting I attended, Bodey and Ed Fox had to help me up out of my chair! The arthritis in my back was really bad, and was also in my hands and other joints. I was a diet soda drinker, and kept one in my hand all the time. I weighed over 380 lbs and had no golf game left. And I was taking six different medications.

I joined that night, and the Xooma products have changed my life! Until late 2012, I was not taking any medications and my arthritis was pretty much gone. Plus in that time I lost over 100 lbs, now weighing in under 280. I am planning on going down to somewhere around 200 lbs.

Best of all, my golf game is back. I finished Third Place in Player of the Year for Seniors in the state of Tennessee, which is one of our biggest events! I also shot my age this year…63! The Xooma products have truly given me my life back. I feel 20 years younger! Thank you, Xooma!

May 2015 Update
The end of 2014 I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation which is an abnormal heart rhythm. The doctor prescribed Xarelto. I’m pretty sure it shocked my heart back into rhythm, but a few weeks later I had a stroke. The next thing I know I had a brain bleed. The hospital told me it was caused by Xarelto. Then on January 9th, I had a stroke. I immediately stopped taking the Xarelto (and don’t think anyone should be on it).

It’s been a rough road. I am still weak on my left side but I have improved. Unfortunately, I’m now taking 11 prescription medications. They include 3 diuretics, 5 blood pressure medications, potassium, a thyroid prescription, and another pill for the atrial fibrillation.

I’ve always been a huge X2O ‘drinker’. In the winter I would drink 8-12 Xooma bottles of water, and in the summer I drink 20 bottles or more. But since the stroke, I can’t drink that much. I don’t know why, but I’m down to 6-8 Xooma bottles right now.

One Saturday recently I didn’t take any of my medications. I went to the golf course and I felt so much better. My doctor could appreciate it since he’s a golfer. I even went to a party that night and stayed up until 1:00am! Sadly, I couldn’t believe how much better I felt. While it was only for one day, it was a reminder how I look forward to not needing all these prescription medications.

The good news is I take quite a few of Xooma’s products and know they are helping me on the road to recovery. Here are some of the products I take: X2O, FocusUP, Omega 3/75, Berry Balance, KardiaXyme, Assimilator, Nature’s Body Cleanse, SilverMAX. And I drink at least one MetaboWize Protein Fiber shake a day.

Xooma’s products have really made a difference in my life and I look forward to when I reduce – and eliminate – all my prescription medications and am only taking Xooma’s products!
