Have Questions About How Plexus Products Can Help Gout?

Here is some information:

  1. Candida in the body produces something called uric acid. Gout is caused by uric acid in the body.  This could be the missing link!  Candida yeast overgrowth in the body contributes to difficult losing weight, inflammation, and a host of other nasty symptoms.  Here’s an article that addresses Candida and the uric acid link:  http://www.thecandidadiet.com/candida-and-inflammation/
  2. After reading several testimonials of people who’ve experienced relief from their gout symptoms, here is what I recommend:

updated triplex combo_1updated triplex combo

  • Plexus Slim, ProBio5, and BioCleanse (or, the “Triplex” Combo)  The Plexus Slim will continue to fight inflammation in the body – just what you need right now!  The ProBio5 will start fighting off that nasty Candida yeast, and coupled with the BioCleanse is the “one-two punch” that flushes the toxins out of the body.
  • When the Candida is leaving your body, you may experience one or more die-off symptoms such as headache, nausea, bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea, low-grade fever, swollen glands, and rash.  For this reason, you may actually feel worse for a few days, so practice good self-care with plenty of water and rest.  But I promise, it is well worth the temporary discomfort to get rid of the toxins and Candida!  (Personally, my symptoms were mild to moderate headache for about 2 days, and lots of bathroom trips.)

Reclaiming My Health

I’m a mom of 5 children in my 40’s. It wasn’t very long ago that I was able to do pretty much anything I wanted or needed to do without major repercussions. But many things have contributed to a decline in my health over the years, especially the last 4 years. Stress and some traumatic events led to an increase in medical issues related to heart, lungs, kidneys, thyroid, digestive disorders (such as severe reflux, internal bleeding, IBS) to name a few.
To make a long story short, I came close to death more than a few times, and for about a year, I was nearly completely bedridden. (2013-2014)  I knew that God had more for me, and I believed He would restore me to health. I did things to help the process, such as …eliminating stress as much as possible, physical rest and self-care, lots of water, adding in natural remedies to my diet such as liquid aloe, apple cider vinegar, spirulina, chlorella, and a product called Cellfood. These things seemed to help to an extent, but was really hard to keep up and quite costly.
Then, about 6 weeks ago, a friend told me about something she was using called Plexus. She told me about all the benefits she and her daughter were experiencing, and shared other testimonies with me, so I decided to give it a try.

My results surprised me… because within the first 3 days, I noticed a significant reduction in my reflux symptoms, and within the first week, I was able to sleep on my back for short periods of time without pain! Something I’d not done in YEARS!! I experienced about a 75% reduction in my reflux issues within the first 2 or 3 weeks!
Now, I have recently experienced a slight flareup, because my husband bought me a Dr Pepper, and I tried to drink it… I consumed about 8 ounces of it and decided I didn’t need to finish it. But that was enough to aggravate my symptoms and set me back a little. But still, not as severe as it was.
I am also now about to mow my yard without stopping every 3 minutes to recover oxygen. I can now mow for about 20 minutes at a time, because one of the thing that Plexus products do is that it oxygenates the body. I don’t know it you’ve ever felt like you were suffocating, even while you are breathing…. but many times, that is how I felt. But these days, that is becoming a thing of the past – THANK GOD!!
I plan to write more about my progress from time to time…. but it is late, and I’m going to post this and add to this later.
Good night and may God bless and keep you!
