“This test turned my life around. I gave up wheat and now i have a lot less skin problems, ability to think clearer and my thyroid is better. I got my life back. My husband is a non-believer about most things but he even says I have changed. I have been able to do things I could never do before because I was always sick.”

I started getting lots of pain in my joints it would be in my arms, shoulder and hands my feet my ankles it would be everywhere. Rheumatoid arthritis is a crippling disfiguring disease my fingers where bent over sideways. I actually had to have surgery to correct them I was a flight attendant and I could not even hang up a coat.
Now I can walk and exercise, and now my feet don’t hurt at work. I am out on the town when I am on layovers with everybody else walking and just having fun. I really feel a blessing to have found a treatment that releases me from my pain. It really encourages me that my life is just beginning and going in another direction. Before it was centered on Rheumatoid Arthritis I would not think of picking up an extra flight I just wanted to rest. Now it is not an issue and I feel great. Thank you Sage.
