I have a laryngectomy. Cancer took my voice box. In surgery they messed up my breathing. Supposed to and do breathe through my neck. Can’t blow my nose and when sinus glands plug up, I can’t breathe. Doctors think I’m a little off. HA! One finally admitted that the nervous system could be connected in such a way as to affect my breathing. I ain’t no doctor but I know darn well it does. I get so short winded I can’t hardly do anything until I have to stop and get some air. How much good rhea extract does for me I can’t honestly tell you as I’m a coward. Afraid to stop taking it for any length of time to find out. Maybe just getting old and more stubborn. I do know at first, I felt it helped make my nose run and drain and relieved my headaches, so I just keep taking them. Afraid to stop.
I do not take Rhea Extract on a daily basis. I use it to obtain relief from 3 conditions that I suffer from time to time. I smoked cigarettes for about 30 years but gave up the habit on advice from a physician after an episode of respiratory distress 6 years ago. Whatever lung damage the 30 year habit left me with, my doctor calls it emphysema and told me that I had lost some elasticity in the tissue. I live in a valley dedicated to orchards. From time to time there is something like an air inversion that dominates the local weather and during times of spraying in the orchards or the burning of organic debris it becomes very difficult for me to fully inflate my lungs, it feels like the congestion from a chest cold. Whenever I feel the onset of this condition I take 4 capsules of the Rhea Extract and within 20 minutes to half an hour my breathing improves and I am once again able to fully inflate my lungs such as I can. I live on a farm and I keep 2 cats for mouse control and a dog for security. These animals stay indoors during times of extreme cold. I have had episodes of sneezing and chest congestion that I attribute to the dander from my animals. I had recorded 8 specific instances of these events and the effect from taking 4 Rhea Extract capsules until I was sure that the relief I obtained within 20 minutes to half an hour was from the Extract. On one occasion I delayed taking the capsules for about half an hour to see if the symptoms would pass. They did not. I consumed the Extract, half an hour later I was symptom free.
Since I am a farmer I often allow my beard to grow for several days and perhaps even a week before I shave. As a teenager I suffered severe acne which left some facial scarring that has a build up of fluid beneath it from the irritation of shaving if the beard is somewhat longer than a days growth. Since there is no drain through the scar tissue I have endured areas of swelling for days on end once I shaved after an interval of not doing so. As soon as I become aware of swelling after shaving I take 4 capsules of Rhea Extract and within 20 minutes to half an hour the swelling has disappeared.

I am a 55 year old woman that has been on insulin for 48 years and as you know, my circulation s not real good. I also have a severe lower spinal injury that has required four major surgeries and has left me disabled with severe pain. Now I have arthritis in most of my joints, and that causes more pain. I was seeing a specialist for the arthritis but being a diabetic I cannot take a lot of the medicines that a normal person can take and the ones I could take gave a lot of side effects. A year ago, a good friend of mine asked me to try the Rhea Extract. I started with just two a day and leveled out with about four a day. Thank God for Rhea Extract. My pain is down a good 75% from the arthritis and the back injury is somewhat better. My hands and feet are warm once again. My energy level has greatly improved along with my allergies. And last but not least I have no side effects what so ever. I expect to always have some pain due to the spinal injury, but I have accepted and learned to live with that. The one thing that I will not accept is that 17 Orthotic Doctors have told me that I will be in a wheelchair someday. If the Rhea Extract continues to do for me what it is doing now, I sure do not see a wheel chair in my future. I would like to thank each and every one of you for the money, time, and energy you have put into making this product.
About 3 months ago, I started taking Malic Acid along with the Rhea Extract. The two combined have really helped me to feel more like my pre-fibromyalgia days. I am able to exercise with more intensity and more stamina I feel so much better now. Thank you for all your hard work in getting this product to market.
About a month ago, a friend of mine from your area phoned me rather excitedly. She had been talking to a lady, who suffers from Fibromyalgia. This lady had informed my friend that she had taken 4 Rhea Extract capsules, and had slept pain free for the entire night, something she had not done in a while. She was very enthused about the product.
My friend, knowing that I also suffer from Fibromyalgia, purchased a bottle of 100 capsules for me. Now, let me tell you that when she called and said she was bringing them over for me to try, I was thinking that she had finally lost it. It sounded a little absurd to me. No way did it sound like something I would like to take. I al generally very skeptical of things of this nature and not the type of person who takes supplements, or even vitamins! I only take ibuprofen for pain when I’m having a really bad day. Since my friends intentions were so genuine, I just couldn’t hurt her feelings by not taking them. While she was at my house, I took two of them, assuring myself that it couldn’t hurt me. Well, unbelievably about 2 hours later I really began to feel better!
I have been suffering under these conditions for about 4 years. I have pain and stiffness in all my major muscles and especially my hands, feet, ankles, shoulders, and hips. I also experience fatigue and an irritable stomach. Since I have started taking 2 capsules daily of the Rhea Extract, these symptoms have diminished greatly. I feel better than I have felt in 4 years! The pain has diminished greatly, I am much more flexible, and no longer have the on-going fatigue. I feel much more alert and productive. AN ADDED PLUS…I have gained quite a bit of weight over the last 4 years since I haven’t really felt like doing much of anything. But now that I’m feeling better I’m back to riding my horses more, mowing the lawn, etc. I’m starting to lose the weight!My mother clipped an article about you from the Springfield Journal-Register and is sending it to me. I’m anxious to read it. Thank you very much – keep raising and researching those Rheas! Enclosed is my order for 100 capsules Rhea Extract.
I did not take any antihistamine/ decongestant products the whole time that I was using the Rhea. Since I have run out in Dec, I have had nothing but problems. I started out with 1 pill per day due to the fact that I am already a very hyper person and have a very high energy level. (the chiropractor) increased to 2 x per day right before Christmas holidays due to a lot of stress and more increase in headaches. I have been on antioxidants for about 1 year or 1 � years, it has helped my immune system, but I really think the Rhea helped my sinus problems more.
Congratulations on your success! As you know when I first started the product the results were remarkable. Than dropped off dramatically after 6 weeks. Even when I added fish oil the results were minimal. (I took 4 and sometimes 6 capsules which was the most successful) But after the 6 weeks change I couldn’t see much difference between 2, 4, or 6 capsules. So, what I do now is 2 per day just so I don’t get worse. I also go off 2-4 weeks than back to 2 per day, it seems to trick my body and start working again. I’m still in continual pain but manageable with Rhea, massage, and water exercise. When I’m in a full-blown Crohn’s flare-up, nothing works.
I take several medicines. Rhea pills, oil, and lard help to soften areas of very dry skin, helps with ascites (abdomen and legs) helps with the pain in fingers and knees, also open lesions on feet and lower legs. I usually take NTG for pain in my chest � but a tsp. of oil helps the esophagus with relieving the pain.We use the oil on fever blisters and lard on my acne � it�s great on open surgical wounds and burns, bruises, scrapes and abrasions. Helps regulate colon � you can go away from home and not worry about diarrhea or constipation esp. when eating.
I was diagnosed with Myasthnia Gravis, an immune disorder affecting the neuro-muscular junction. My case was very severs. I have had open chest surgery to remove the thymus gland. At one point after surgery, I could not talk, chew, swallow, and my vision was severely affected.I started taking Rhea Extract after reading about it in a trade magazine. I do not see an immediate response when I start taking the Extract, however when I forget to take them, or run out of supply, I really feel the effect. I feel the Rhea extract has given me a definite boost. I can now function as a normal person, with the help of proper medication, rest, and Rhea Extract.
I have also been taking proper vitamins and minerals and the extract and using Rhea Oil. I have grown taller and gained weight and my muscles are filling out more.I have been on Ritalin for 8 years. The side effects of that was keeping me from growing properly (we believe). At this time I am off all medication and am depending on Synergy 2000 and Rhea Extract to help me with ADHS. So far it is working great.I have much more stamina and endurance playing basketball and football. Today, I bench pressed 150# which was the highest in our school in Jr. High.
I am basically pain free and I can run 100 yards and lift 100# weight for the first time in four years.
I am a disabled veteran and am now on total disability. The last year I have been taking lots of vitamins/minerals and Rhea Extract. I have gradually improved in all areas to the point of being able to even work for a 10 hr day and not have too much problems doing it. For the last 10 years, prior to this last year I was on many medications just to survive, but was continually getting worse. If I can help with any trials of natural products, please let me know.
To reconstruct my situation: I was taking Rhea Extract prior to my accident and was enjoying the energy level as well as the effect it was having on my stiff joints. On December 11, 1997 I fell in my garage and broke my back in three places. For a month I was not interested in anything except alleviating my pain; therefore, I di not continue with the extract. During the last month I have been taking it and enjoying the effect it is having on my stiff back and the extra energy I have. Needless to say, my energy is still not to great as I am still in recovery but I am able to vacuum my entire house. When I return to the doctor on Monday, I hope he says I can continue my walking program.
For at least 5 or more
years I was suffering from back pains and sciatica for which I was given torodol
for my pain. I could not take any of the inflammatory drugs due to my allergies
toward them. But in spite of the torodol I was still limited in what I could and
could not do. Whenever I went beyond those boundaries I would suffer pain and
decreased mobility for several days. All this in spite of the pain killers etc.
When I first started the Rhea Extract I discontinued the torodol immediately. I
was anxious to see the results.
Results:
Six year ago my son and I hiked up the mountain of the Holy Cross, in Colorado, With only lunch, camera, and water. My son had to keep coming back down to check on me to see if I was still moving. This last August, After taking the Rhea Extract (4-5 a day) for about a year, we went backpacking up the steep side of the mountain to the Holy Cross wilderness area above the timberline. We each had full packs, including a tent each. I also took a 10 week old Labrador puppy, which I had to carry most of the time, and I was still ahead of my son 50% of the time. After spending 2 days and 2 nights above timberline my son took the puppy and went back down. I continued by myself and backpacked through two more passes and across three snow fields, before coming down that night. I had my gallbladder removed in the 70's and I probably have some colon problems. Ever since I had the gallbladder removed I have bowel movement emergencies. After taking the extract for over a year now I have only a few flare ups. I gave up chili years ago and about 2 years ago I told my wife I couldn't eat it anymore. After taking the extract for 2 weeks (2 a day) we had chili. I ate just a small bowl, knowing that it would cause problems. I had no problems at all ' in fact, I ate chili for the next few days.
I am 58 years old and for the first 56 years I have always been sleepy. After taking the extract I never sleep in the middle of the day anymore.
As for arthritis, I don't know if I have any. My knees are getting bad, and I think I have some bursitis in my shoulder and I cant say that the extract is helping either of those and I'm not going to stop taking the extract to find out.
