Polio

Several of you, my S****** Friends, have asked if I could share what is happening since I have added Vivix to my supplement program.

As background, I have been my own best customer using S****** supplements for the past 37 years. I feel that they have been largely responsible for the health I enjoy today. I had polio at age 8 years which left me with very little movement in my legs. Since the polio attack, I have used a wheelchair to transport me to and through many marvelous experiences. Many who had polio years ago have experienced something called the "Post-Polio Syndrome" ... seems the virus attacks again and renders the person worse off than before, as well as leaving them highly fatigued. Thankfully, I have not experienced this syndrome and feel like my S****** supplements have helped spare me.

Now, the only thing I have changed is the addition of Vivix each day since the convention last August/08.

I started using Vivix right after it was introduced, and have used it daily since ... the recommended 1 tsp (although now I "swig" it from the bottle so may vary just a bit) As have others, I soon noticed a smoothing out of brown spots on my skin, I was sleeping sounder, not having to get up to go to the bathroom during the night and noticed more sustained energy level on into the evening.
.
However, the unexpected effect that has astounded me is that, after taking Vivix for about 3 to 4 months, I begin to notice a tiny bit more movement (an awakening?) in the muscles in my legs that has continued to increase over these past number of months.

As I said, after the polio attack, I had full feeling but almost no movement in my legs. I was left with a little movement in my right leg and almost none in my left. For example, in a sitting position I could raise my right knee upward a bit and move it sideways ever so slightly. Had been able to ''feel" a slight muscle tensing in the back my left leg but no movement. This has been a static condition for over 60 years.

I will briefly try to describe what has/is happening. Whereas, when I would tense the muscles in the back of my right leg before, I could feel them tense only behind my knee...this has increased until now I can tense and feel it down my calf and up into my hip. I can even feel the muscle tensing a little more in the back of my left leg.

In a sitting position, I could pull my right knee up about 2 inches; I can now pull it up to my chest! I also have a lot more sideways movement. I can see and feel more movement in the left leg.

What does this mean for me? Well the main benefit is that I don't have to use my arm to move my right leg for the most part. What is really neat is that I can move both legs more when in bed to help me turn over and so forth. Also I can move the right one when I get in and out of my chair without it just swinging (and banging into whatever) I won't try to go into more detail but, hopefully, this will give you a little idea of why I am so thrilled. Every little improvement just helps me be able to move around easier and for this I am grateful. Plus, I seem to continue to gain more movement. I really notice it when I am swimming.

My massage therapist is "blown away" and can verify each improvement. She evaluated me when I started with her 2 years ago and is seeing each gain.

So ... Thank you Vivix!!!
