Breaking Free from Pain: Early Results



Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4 (NRSV)

My adventures with MyFlexFactor™ are still in the formative stages, but I’m excited about the positive results I’m seeing. Here are preliminary results from two friends.

One friend, a Vietnam veteran who I’ll call Art, broke his neck in an auto wreck a few years back and continues to experience pain. After trying MyFlexFactor™, he walks more smoothly and surely, and assures me he feels better. He is taking more than the lowest recommended dose…but only because we have pestered him to do so. When I told his story to the manufacturer, Daniel recommended starting at double the usual dose and provided enough MyFlexFactor™ to give Art a solid start. 

Now, the label instructs one to take the product one capsule, three times daily, with a meal. It’s that last bit that trips up so many of my friends. “I don’t eat regular meals,” they tell me, and use this as an excuse to avoid completing the trial as instructed. So, I revised the instructions and attempted to tell everyone to take each dose with a full glass of water and, if possible, a bit of food—but not to delay a dose in the event food was not readily available.

This helped some people, but Art finally let me know that swallowing the large, “00” size, capsules was difficult due to his post-tracheotomy esophageal scarring. That made me feel badly because one of my first questions to Daniel had been to ask if the capsule itself was necessary. It is not. (I felt badly because I apparently failed to communicate this detail sooner!)

Skip the capsule and mix the contents into food or drink, I told Art, who was relieved but—like me—frustrated that it had taken so long for me to relay the information to him.

Another man with whom I’ve been working, I’ll call him Jed, also survived a horrific car wreck—wherein he was thrown clear of the vehicle—although his was some 25 years ago. After taking six months to learn to walk without a limp again, he continued to suffer with pain and weakness. These days he runs a cleaning service which means that he is forever on his feet, moving, bending, lifting, scrubbing—and in pain. After finishing his loading dose and continuing with the product for another couple of weeks, he cheerfully reported to me, “I can’t live without it!” with such conviction that it warmed my heart.

Each week I’m connecting with another person or two. Each week, I receive more positive reports. True, the supplement is not the answer for everyone, but it is efficacious enough to keep my hope alive that I can make a difference in the world—one life at a time. Thank you, Lord!

Blessings,
