Antioxidant products (OPC-3, Antioxidant Formula, Isochrome) might be beneficial for the severe inflammation and ulceration in the intestinal tract. I am not sure what her blood iron level is, but she may be losing some blood by way of the ulcers, so a product such as MultiTech could be used to help replenish her iron level. The extent of absorption of macroand micronutrients is probably limited by the inflammation of the intestine and ulceration, so MultiTech could provide a good delivery system for getting extra mcronutrients to her intestinal epithelium for absorption. The co-enzyme Q10 in Isochrome has been reported to be beneficial for the repair of stomach ulcers---I don't know whether that effect would transfer to intestinal ulcers. Evidently, she had the lower foot of small intestine removed which is the primary site of vitamin B12::Intrinsic Factor complex absorption. Therefore, she needs to get vitamin B12 via intramuscular injection. James L. Wilmer, Ph. D. ==================================================================== Crohn's disease is characterized by a chronic and long-lasting ulceration of a section or sections of the digestive tract. The ulceration extends through all layers of the intestinal wall and involves the entire digestive system, from the mouth to the anus, as well as the adjacent lymph nodes. The inflamed parts heal, leaving scar tissue that narrows the passageway. This disorder is not contagious. Its cause is still uncertain, although it's known that a history of food allergies increases risk of developing it; conversely, eliminating allergenic foods often relieves the symptoms. Studies also suggest that free radical damage may be involved, and that a lack of vitamin C and E may play a role. To help with the damage from free radical I would suggest that they try OPC3 and B12 is important for proper digestion and to prevent anemia, and vitamin C to prevent inflammation and improve immunity. Aloe Vera helps to promote wound healing (the zinc in aloe vera known for healing), regulates cell growth, and reduces inflammation and pain. I found all the information listed through the manual and a book called "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" by: James F. Balch, M.D. and Phyllis A. Balch, C.N.C. This has some very helpful information. Hope this helps out some. Best Wishes, Charles and Denise H =================================================================== One of two categories of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by an inflammatory reaction throughout the entire thickness of the bowel wall and in ~40% of the cases, inflammatory lesions (granulomas) are either poorly developed or totally absent (1) Crohns disease seems to be linked to antibiotic exposure and a possible genetic predisposition as well other factors including diet and allergies to different foods that may act as a trigger. Suggestions from Dr. Michael Murray and Dr. Joseph Pizzorno: 1) High complex carbohydrate and high fiber diet studies have shown that dietary fiber has a profound effect in helping with this disease, however, wheat bran fiber is a very abrasive fiber and is not the fiber of choice in these cases. 2) High quality muti-vitamin and mineral formula 3) Additional antioxidants 400 800 IU of Vitamin E and 1 3 g of Vitamin C (1000 3000 mg) 4) Zinc, folic acid and B-12 - zinc deficiency is common in Crohns patients due to low dietary intake, poor absorption, and excess fecal losses and appears in ~45% of www.shopatmbi.com an Unfranchised Partner of Market America

Crohns patients. Similarly, folic acid and B-12 suffer the same effect of low absorption and high loss In addition to these suggestions, we have seen improvements with clients also taking a probiotic supplement to help rebuild their intestinal flora which seems to have been damaged by antibiotics and other environmental factors. Ive included at the end, some testimonials from some folks that have had success with some of the product suggestions Im laying out below. a) Isotonix Multitech a liquid vitamin which comes as a powder that you mix with water to form an isotonic solution. This solution is highly absorbable and over 95% of it is in your bloodstream within 5 10 minutes. This is different than a pill or capsule which takes time to break down and you are lucky to get 20% absorption in 2 3 hours. This formula contains the suggested vitamins and minerals laid out in suggestion #2 above. b) Isotonix OPC-3 & Isotonix Vitamin C Same benefit as the Multitech, being isotonic, the vitamin c has 500mg/dose, so you would take about 2 4 capfuls each day. The OPC-3 is a super-powered antioxidant blend which has grape seed extract, pine bark extract, red wine extract, bilberry extract, and citrus bioflavinoids. Check out some of the testimonials at the end for more information about what it can do for Crohns specifically. c) Isotonix B-12 Highly absorbable B-12, B-6, B-2, and folic acid supplement that is isotonic to fulfill suggestion #4 d) Nutriclean Fiber Powder - It is a great tasting orange/vanilla fiber powder that mixes easily with water and is made up of a blend of soluble and insoluble fibers along with probiotics and essential gastrointestinal nutrients. A serving of this provides 1.5 billion healthful microorganisms shown in studies to reduce lactose intolerance, balance the bowel by reducing diarrhea and relieving constipation, freshen breath and enhance immunity. Among other things, it contains soy, alfalfa leaf, beet root, and flax seed fibers.

My brother in-law is 28 years old and has Chron's Disease. Before he was diagnosed, he suffered for 4 years with major abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhea. After the doctors ran all sorts of tests, and then finally 4 years later diagnosed him with Chron's Disease. Seeing his doctor regularly in the first few months. He has now had it for 3 yrs with some very painful operations. 1st operation - 7 feet of his small intestine and 1 foot of large intestine and an abscess the size of an orange was removed. 2nd time hospitalized was due to shortness of breath and multiple blood clots to both lungs - it was a very scary thing to see him go through and see my sister upset with all this happening and being at his bed side all the time. With having this disorder things be couldn't eat are vegetables, rice, fruit with skin, anything with a skin or nut would and could be fatal, also was recommended to only eat fish and poultry as red meat was harder to digest. Since I have been a Distributor I have mentioned to him to try our products and with some very hard work he finally agreed. He has now been taking OPC-3 for 3 months on and off (due to his forgetfulness), the last month and a half he has taken 1 cap full in the a.m. and 1 cap full p.m. and has had great results. Being as skeptical about taking it, his doctor ran a test called Upper GI test, and his doctor said there were no signs of Chrohns - as he had it throughout his whole body from throat to anus and large and small intestine were infected. When he and my sister returned from the Doctors office, I received a phone call and they stated to me "NO signs of Chrohns", I of course questioned that because he bugs me all the www.shopatmbi.com an Unfranchised Partner of Market America

time and was not sure to believe him, but when my sister said "Yes it's True and we need more", I cried my eyes out - my brother in law is no longer suffering from all the pain, my sister had now told others his story, and they are looking to start this wonderful product line. I am also starting him on B-12 as he is very fatigued lately and it's great to help the digestion process. Thank you Marker America for a Great Company and FANTASTIC PRODUCTS! To help yourself is one thing, but to help a family member from suffering is a much greater feeling. Nathalie P, Thunder Bay, ON Canada ====================================================================== I started taking Isotonix OPC-3 for many reasons. First of all, I had Crohn's Disease and four major operations resulted from this disease. I have a BCIR (Barnett Continent Ileo Reservoir), which is an internal pouch. Sometimes pouchitis develops and I have to go on expensive prescription drugs to clear up the inflammation. After going to my doctor and trying many prescriptions, nothing helped. Then I tried just taking the Isotonix OPC-3, and my pouchitis cleared up in one week, and I feel fantastic. Market America and OPC-3 have done a lot for my health and family. There is only one you and your health is the most important gift you have. Wendy M S ====================================================================== We have someone in our team who has Crohn's and she was very nervous about taking our products as she was in remission at the time. However, in August she started to take OPC,3, Multitech, Enzymes and Orac along with the Greens. After 6 months, Her doctor took pictures of the inside of her colon. It was AWESOME! The doctor was amazed. Her colon looks extremely healthy. Kathy A, North Prairie, WI ========================================================================== The last few years have been hard for me, health wise, and I feel obligated to share some incredible products with you that have helped to change our lives. I have had Crohn's Disease since I was sixteen years old. Crohn's Disease is a disease that attacks the digestive system of the body and can infect anywhere from the mouth to the anus. I had been quite lucky with it until a few years ago when I suffered from complications of the disease resulting in removal of 32 inches of my small intestine with Laposcoptic surgery, and the repair of an abscess fistula. It would take me pages to explain what it has been like for me living with this disease so all I will say is that my body especially my rectum, seem to be slowly deteriorating. There is not much we know on how you get this disease, but it may be hereditary. My bowel movements are frequent and usually in the form of diarrhea. I was somewhat of a hermit for fear of leaving my house with my daughter, being in the car or in the middle of the mall, and having to rush to a bathroom, which has happened many times. We thank God for our wonderful family and friends that have been extra supportive and helpful. In May of 1999, I was introduced to a product by a couple that go to the same www.shopatmbi.com an Unfranchised Partner of Market America

church as we do, called Isotonix OPC-3. I started taking it right away along with the Isotonix vitamins. After the first month, I did not think I noticed a difference until I stopped taking the OPC-3 and vitamins. After a week or so, I started to feel fatigued all the time, which I had felt since the birth of Christina and before the pregnancy, so I decided to start taking both again. Within a few days, I noticed that I had more energy and within the next six weeks, I really started to feel good most of the time. I had even gained some weight. People were actually telling me how good I was looking. I was also taking Ultimate Aloe for less than a month before starting my treatment. I am now drinking Ultimate Aloe. About two weeks after ending my Hepatitis C treatment, my bowel movements went from anywhere from 4-12 daily to 2 daily. The Hepatitis C no longer showed up in my system after the first three months of treatment. I did experience some of the side effects listed above, especially fatigue, due to the medication since October. I believe with all my heart that if I was not taking the Isotonix OPC-3 and Isotonix vitamins that my symptoms would have been more severe than they were from other people I have talked with. Since completing my treatment, I feel absolutely incredible and everyone keeps telling me how wonderful I look. Thank God for Market America and their wonderful products.If you have any questions or concerns, or just want to talk, please contact me. We wish you much happiness and good health. Kim C ====================================================================== Steve and I, would like to express our feelings about several products that we tried and are very happy with. Isotonix OPC-3. We'eve been taking it for 6 months and it has improved our energy level and our leg pain. Steve has 2nd stage Lymes Disease, and I am in remission for Chrones Disease. Steve is also taking Isotonix - B12. Its has been about 2 months and he has expressed that he has less stressed and more calm at work and running your own business there is a lot of stress. He use to complain about chest pains and now he doesn't. I have been taking Vitamind for about 2 months and I feel more focused in my day to day schedules. Steve and I are very happy with your products and their results. Kimberly and Stephen K ====================================================================== Submitted March 10, 2004 I have Crohns Disease and finally got a formal diagnosis in November of 1999. My symptoms started in October of 1996. It had gotten to the point where I could hardly leave my house, due to not being able to leave the bathroom. I had to quit my job. (One of many) Staying home and being stress free helped. I saw a lot of doctors in that three-year time span. I had heard it all, seen it all, and each one of them had done their wonderful colonoscopies, x-rays and those wonderful tests they have for diagnosing intestinal diseases. After my diagnosis in 1999 I was put on prednisone and tried about every other drug out there for Crohns. Each one of them brought a complication in one-way or another. I was becoming steroid dependent. I did not care because at the time it seemed like that was the only thing that gave me some control of what was going on with my disease. I watched my diet; I tried to exercise when I was not totally exhausted. It was hard to live everyday life. I missed out on a lot of things, fun things with family, friends and my husband because of my Crohns causing so much havoc. Thankfully my husband is a great support system and tried www.shopatmbi.com an Unfranchised Partner of Market America

to understand to the fullest what I had to go through just to make it through the day. Finally in 2002 I made the decision to go to Mayo Clinic and see some of the best specialists in the world that deal with this disease. By that time my veins blew every time they took blood or tried to run a test. The steroids had constricted my veins so bad they were not functioning well anymore. It was decided that I needed surgery to buy me some time until new drugs would hit the market because I had exhausted all choices that were available to date. Two weeks before Thanksgiving I underwent 6 centimeters of my small bowel being removed. It was the worst recovery and surgery that I had ever been through. I sat on my couch on Christmas Eve with the shakes and sweats as I went through withdrawal from the steroid taper. I felt like a junky. I would not wish it upon anyone to have to go through that. It took a solid 3 months to get back on my feet with many setbacks along the way. I took it upon myself to start seeking out natural supplements and more diet intervention, since traditional medicine was not working and the surgery hardly made any difference. I was still in the toilet most of the day and I have a young daughter who needed me to be there for every part of her life. Believe me I wanted to be there as well and be a better wife etc. So I started trying this product and that product. To say the least I had spent a small fortune and nothing really worked. Some things helped but there was no life shattering difference. In late May of this year my husband brought home a purple folder full of brochures called Isotonix and OPC-3 and this video on OPC-3. He said here a friend of mine gave me this; he and his wife sell these products and would like you to take a look at them. I told him no way, I was not spending another dime on supplements. I did look at the information and then at the video and thought maybe just this one more time. I then looked at my supply of supplements to see what I was running low on. By the time I placed my order I think was close to $200.00 worth of stuff. I had started on the Digestive Enzymes, Aloe, the Multivitamin, OPC-3 and a few other things. I started to notice my energy coming back and my reflux not so severe. I was about to have surgery on my right leg for varicose veins and had to discontinue the OPC-3 per doctors orders till after the surgery. The surgery came and went and I started back on that OPC-3 around the 20th of June 2003. Within two weeks I no longer had diarrhea and could shove my bottle of Nexium, for my reflux, in the back of the cabinet. It was wonderful. I can now get up in the morning drink my 10-12 ounces of product and be on my way to whatever I want to do that day. No more spending half of the day in the bathroom and planning my life for after 3:00pm. I have to say the Isotonix line of products is the best out there. They are the only products out there that gave me total relief of all my symptoms. I still watch what I eat but I can have a treat now and then. The biggest treat of all is not having to break plans with my daughter cause her mommy had a sick tummy Anne Z Warrenville, Illinois

"I have had Crohn's disease for five years. This disease inflamed my intestines, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea, drastic weight loss and all-around lack of energy. I spent many hours at doctor's offices, having tests run again and again, and taking several medications, all of which had no positive benefits. My friends, family and co-workers were very concerned. Then, through the recommendation of a coworker who is also a distributor, I started using OPC-3. I started to feel better after my first capful, and since then I've gained back much of the weight I had lost, almost all of my symptoms are gone, and I'm able to eat foods again www.shopatmbi.com an Unfranchised Partner of Market America

that used to bother me. And I'm no longer running back and forth to the doctor's office or shelling out money left-and-right for prescriptions. All this from one capful of OPC-3 a day! I am thankful that OPC-3 was recommended to me and for the tremendous change in my life it has provided." J. Riddle "I've had Crohn's disease for 23 years. I've gone to many doctors during those years. In order for me to function on a daily basis, I had to take eight tablets of Pepto-Bismol a day. I've missed out on so much in my life; the growing up of my children, traveling, etc. Every year I have colonoscopy done. In November of 1995 I had my scope done and the doctor found ulceration and bleeding in the bowels. In November of 1996, after being on OPC-3 for three weeks, my bowels were totally clear. Since then, I no longer take any Pepto-Bismol or medication. OPC-3 is such a breakthrough for me. I feel wonderful." M. J. C Jeanette PA =============================================== I am so fortunate to have found Market America products especially their Isotonix Vitamins. I had Crohn's Disease and four major operations because of this disease. I had a total colostomy done, where the colon was removed and some of the small intestine too. Due to this surgery I had a loss of food absorption, and NO energy. So I ended up on B-12 shots for almost 8 years. Now I do not have to take the shots, as I drink the Isotonix B-12 with folic acid. This absorbs into my system quickly and I have lots of energy now and no more shots. I also take the Isotonix Multi-Tech and OPC-3. I have a BCIR (Barnett Continent Ileo Reservoir), which is an internal pouch. Sometimes pouchitis develops and I have to go on expensive prescription drugs to clear up the inflammation. After going to my doctor and trying many prescriptions, nothing helped. Then I tried just taking the Isotonix OPC-3, and my pouchitis cleared up in one week, and I feel fantastic. My doctors and phamacists recommend liquid products, due to absorption factors and great for everyone. Thank you Market America for making my life healthier and energized. Wendy M. S =============================================== My friend had been fighting a problem with his colon for eight to ten years. His general health was very poor. He lost weight, couldn't get away from a bathroom at all due to constant diaherra, appeared pale, and experienced abdominal pain. The doctors had many times tried to get him to allow them to do surgery. They wanted to cut out most of his ulcerated colon and put a colostomy on him. He would not go through. He took the antibiotics, tried whey, took many different herbal remedies, ate special diets and the last thing he tried was colonics. After taking colonics last year for about three months the therapists' that were working with him told his wife they were very concerned that he wasn't getting better. He was still passing bloody mucous in large quantities every time they treated him. I suggested she get him to try the Ultimate Aloe and she agreed. He began taking it and after about a month she began to notice some difference. The therapist confirmed that he wasn't passing as much blood and after about three months everyone who knows the man was asking what he was doing for himself.

about 7 months on the Aloe he discontinued taking colonics. The therapist states that he appears to be in good shape now; it has been about a year since he started the Aloe and he has started back to work. He doesn't have to stay near the bathroom anymore. In fact they just went on a 200mile trip and only made 4 rest stops. Before the Aloe he had to stop at least 4 times going 45 miles; quite a difference there. Did I mention that he is 73 years old?
