This is helping me heal
Hi everyone. I've been using this product since May 2nd, 2014.
Some background information:
I'm 22 with multiple knee and back injuries and a very busy schedule. For nearly one year after a traumatic event and in the midst of a full-time school and work schedule, I ate erratically, exhibited anorexic tendencies, forgot to eat, and hardly consumed any protein. My body started sagging, I lost weight like crazy, and developed deep crow's feet, lines at the corners of my mouth, and bags under my eyes. I started taking this supplement because I screwed up my digestive tract so badly that I could hardly take anything by mouth and I figured, since my body started to consume itself because I was so negligent regarding protein intake, this would be good for a transition into a more normalized diet. This has certainly delivered. I take one tablespoon morning and evening in my smoothie (made with almond milk without carageenan) and I've started to put on weight in lean muscle, the premature lines around my eyes are starting to vanish, and the ones at the corners of my mouth are totally gone. I feel SO much better, I am no longer sore all the time, nor am I hungry and irritable like I was when I neglected my nutrition. I tried jumping straight into a diet heavy in grass-fed meats, eggs, and non-homogenized/ raw/fermented dairy, but as I've said, my digestive tract was so off-kilter that my body totally rejected the food. This has been such a wonderful supplement because, only two weeks after starting to take it, I've begun reintroducing organ meat into my diet along with egg whites with great success (as long as it's in small quantities) and I am feeling absolutely incredible. Soon, I'm hoping to cut the dose and continue healing with a diet of whole foods. Thank you so much for helping me get better :)
