Subject: Health Testimonial Hi Friends and family, This is kind of lengthy, but I really felt the need to sit down and write it. I am sending this e-mail, because I want to share with everyone the changes in my life health wise. As most of you know I have been taking Isotonic vitamins and minerals for over a year now. I have always had allergies to animals and dust, smoke, pollen, and I have been told my whole life by the medical establishment that there's no way to fix it or "cure it". My mom and I just accepted that, after all I was seeing "specialists" in the field. I developed severe asthma by the age of 19; earlier I was diagnosed at the age of 17 with Nasal Polyps the size of golf balls in my sinuses, big enough to cause a stroke. The polyps or tumors were literally cutting off the flow of blood to my head causing the migraines (which was determined by a cat scan). I was in and out of hospitals with migraines and had to have Demerol shots or other drugs for the pain. After many doctors, drugs, and steroids, the polyps were shrunk and finally disappeared, but by then the damage was done. My grades in school went from 3.6+ to 2.9 and I lost all of my scholarship opportunities due to this "medical problem". These problems ruined my life at the time. So the rest is history, I moved on, got a life, and lived on inhalers and the latest drugs for my Asthma. I had efficiently sterilized my life to a point where I would not enter a restaurant with smoke, or a home where a dog, cat, or bird had even been. Not without my Claritin, Singular, Albuteral, Flovent, Serevent, and so on and so on. etc. Did any of these drugs help me get better or get rid of the under lying problem, of course not. I continued to become worse and worse. I would heat up or become flushed just being in a room with an animal or smoke, and it was like a crushing feeling. I began to have allergies to things I had never had problems with before such as foods, white wine, sulfa drugs and antibiotics. The reason I write this, is that I was handed a bottle of OPC-3 by a friend of mine last year. I scoffed at her and said why not, I have tried everything else, such as: acupuncture, naturopathy, nutrition, vitamins, grape seed pine bark, other herbs and extracts, you name it. Do these things work?....yes they can if you can get enough and can afford it! I was a single mother, so I could not sustain any of this. Anyway I was too polite to tell her to go away. So I tried a bottle of OPC-3, then I got a 2nd bottle because well, it seemed as if I had not used my inhalers lately. We had a large Family reunion in April and that is when I noticed I had not picked up an inhaler in a few weeks. (I used them every morning at least). I had been so busy with the reunion preparations I had not noticed I was breathing better yet. My throat was still scratchy but I was not reaching for an inhaler. I was still taking the Singular and allergy drugs though, I was terrified if I left home on accident without my inhalers or drugs. Now I am pregnant with my 4th child, & it is important to explain how different this pregnancy is. With my other pregnancies, I used all my drugs to breath day and night, and I was put on Nebulizer machines with Albuteral for all 3 other births. I coughed up blood and phlegm every morning (from the steroids in the inhalers) I could not lay down in bed after the 5th month for fear of suffocating. My legs were swollen, my face was red. I went through Kleenex like I owned stock. I couldnt exercise; -- I could hardly breathe when I was NOT pregnant. Anyone who has lung problems can identify with me. It is a catch 20 with exercise, yes you need it to get better, but when you can't breathe to get started youre stuck. So I gained a lot of extra weight with the previous pregnancies. I was miserable. So this pregnancy: Besides having not used and inhaler since April of 2003, I threw them away finally in October 2003 in a nice ceremony. I have not had to buy Claritin, Sudafed, and so on, and have not seen my doctor for any allergy related reasons since April of 2003! The over-the-counter drugs were costing me over$100/ month.

I hiked part of the Wonderland trail on Mount Rainier about 5 weeks ago. (The Wonderland goes completely around the mountain 93 miles). We did about 10 miles around the camp ground, straight up and down, and I out hiked the kids! impossible 2 years ago. I have not coughed up anything in the morning. And NO Nebulizer machine. this pregnancy has been unbelievable. No swelling in the ankles, or problems with anything. It has been a 100% change in my health and well being. I can now pet a dog without my skin welting up or even caring, I ride the horses without the usual 3 Sudafed, and a pocket of tissue and inhaler. I can walk through smoke of any kind without dying (still don't like it though, yuck). I can smell a flower and even have them in the house, my kids can touch me after touching a dog or cat. I wanted to pass this on because anyone who knew me before and today can confirm this testimonial. Instead of waiting for the next drug to come out (and I used to get excited about a better drug), now I get excited about when or where we might ride the horses or going to a fair, or what trail we plan on hiking next. None of this was possible for me just 18 months ago. Thank you Isotonix products, OPC-3 and GOD for my new found health, and spiritual being. I feel as if life can be worth living now. I am not saying I am "cured" but something happened along the way to give me back my breath and my future. This is good science and I have been on the products long enough to know that it is not a passing thing. If any of you are still looking for healthy alternatives, what have you got to lose? Thank you for you time Sincerely Tracy S Enumclaw, WA. On a side note, I had Bursitis in my right shoulder that I would actually get Cortisone shots for since I was 19 also, --- that is gone too, and I can bowl, swing a bat, and brush my hair again. Things I could no longer dowithout the shots. My adult acne problem went away too! Talk about a blessing.

*** Testimonies on Asthma Nathan's Story

ASTHMA OPC-3, Vitamin B-12

Our eight-year-old son Nathan was diagnosed with Athsma when he was age three prompting endless doctor's office visits because he was so sick. He had Bronchitis at least once a month and would rarely go a day without coughing.I would sit up all night with him as he coughed endlessly. None of his treatments worked; sometimes, they only made things worse. After Nathan had coughed for eight hours straight once, he ran around the living room at 3 am flailing his arms because he could not breathe. I carried him into the Emergency Room screaming. When he coughed up blood, I rushed him to the Emergency Room. I would listen to Nathan cough for 12 hours and watch as he would finally drift off to sleep only to be awakened once more by another onslaught of coughing. My pale little boy with perpetual dark circles under his eyes missed a lot of school and I missed a lot of work.Nathan took all of his medicine without complaint, swallowing or inhaling whatever 1 gave him and I began to realize the huge responsibility I had to him. What were the steroids (the only medicine that actually did anything) going to do to Nathan's body? I was told by the doctors that the benefits far outweighed the risks. Having read extensively about Asthma, I knew that every time Nathan was real sick, the damage to his lungs could be irreparable. I was told that if he had not outgrown the condition by age eight, he probably would never outgrow it. I thought the next step for my little boy was Emphysema. The paradox of raising a boy with Asthma is you constantly have to tell him not to run or get excited and to settle down. In every other aspect, Nathan was a normal, enthusiastic boy and getting www.shopatmbi.com an Unfranchised Partner of Market America

him to stay still was as hard as getting him to stop coughing. At that time, Nathan was my only child. I felt so helpless and depressed. He was my whole life. Then, a good friend told me that OPC-3 had helped her friend with Asthma. I began giving it to Nathan in March, 1999 and since that time, he has not had an attack, or a cough for that matter. I have happily thrown away a host of medicines and the Nebulizer breathing machine. Nathan played little league baseball this summer and did nor slow down for a second. He is an avid swimmer, bike rider, roller-blader and all-around athlete (no time for books). I can not begin to measure what your product, OPC-3 has given to me and my son. Please accept our most gracious and sincere thanks. Carol M Wallingford, Conn. =================================================== I have had severe allergy problems with symptoms including burning eyes and stingy throat, headache and upset stomach from cigarette smoke, stingy, scratchy eyes and unstoppable sneezing from cats and indoor pets, pollen, and mowed grass, even itchy hands from mowing the lawn. I have had continuous sinus problems for the last four years. In October of 1994, I was put on antibiotics for strep throat. A few days after finishing a ten-day supply, I was back for more antibiotic for strep again. This chain of events went on until July 1995. By that time, I had a rhinoscope done, a CAT scan of my sinuses, and a blood test for thyroid and no sure cure or cause for my symptoms. I was days away from setting a date for a tonsillectomy when my first order of OPC-3 came in on July 3, 1995. I double-dosed for three weeks. Most of my symptoms disappeared within the first five days. I have not had one strep throat and neither has the rest of my family since I started on OPC-3. After six months of OPC-3, I quit taking my three allergy shots a week. Whenever, I feel congested, I double-dose and my sinus problems subside. I now take one shot of Isotonix Antioxidant and one shot of OPC-3 every morning and have very little allergic reactions, even in the peak allergy season. I no longer have to take antihistamines after mowing and Clear Shield has stopped my hands from itching after mowing. I can now visit my brother's home, who has two dogs and two cats indoors. Before OPC-3, I could not spend five minutes there without sneezing and scratching my eyes out. I was there recently for 45 minutes to demonstrate the SNAP Heavy Duty Cleaner, and the only symptom I had was I sneezed twice on my way home. My husband, who started getting allergy shots as a child and has been on medications for years for allergy symptoms, keeps "forgetting" to get his allergy shots. He and my seven-year-old son also take OPC-3. My family knows when my son has not had his OPC-3 because his allergy symptoms recur. Like OPC-3, all the products I currently use (about 45) are just wonderful. Thank you so much for searching out the highest quality products and making them available to us. Sharon B Kankakee, IL. =================================================== B12 - Asthma In regards to B-12, that is true. However where I find the best use of doubling up on the B-12 is in my asthma patients. The increased magnesium absorption really is a great bronchodilator and they can breath much easier. Usually within about 10-15 minutes. There actually is an IV protocol for asthma. It www.shopatmbi.com an Unfranchised Partner of Market America

involves calcium chloride, B-complex vitamins and magnesium. In my patients who have utilized the IV approach, the isotonix is very equivalent. Roger Spahr M.D. Indpls. IN =================================================== Children & OPC Dear Mitchell, I am a Family Practice doctor in Indiana. We have quite a bit of asthma around here and of course children are affected as much as adults. I have used the OPC in children as well as adults. Basically you would give her the same per pound dose as you would the adults. This would be 1 mg per pound of body weight. For example if she weighed about 30 pounds I would give her about 1/4 to 1/3 tsp. daily. In addition I would give her about 2-3 tsp. of aloe per day and 1/4 to 1/3 tsp. of B-12. The magnesium and B vitamins really help to relax the bronchial tubes and the OPC will reduce the inflammation and allergic reactions. The Aloe will be of help to boost the immune system to decrease the reactivity as well. I hope this helps Roger Spahr MD Exec. Coordinator Indianapolis IN =================================================== A customer of mine has an eight-year-old son who also has asthma. They live in a basement apartment, and he was on 3 different kinds of inhalers. I introduced them to OPC-3, and after only 3 days of taking it, he was completely off his inhalers. That was a little over 2 months ago, and he is still free of his inhalers. He used to wake up in the middle of the night, wheezing and coughing, and hasn't done so at all. He has had just one capful since he started on it. They are very grateful for OPC-3. Laurie G Oshawa, Ontario, Canada =================================================== Hello. My daughter is 14 and has been taking OPC and Vit C for the last 2 1/2 months. She has been asthmatic for about 8 years and has been taking a medley of inhalers. This is normally a very bad time of year for her. She hasn't taken her inhalers since starting the Isonotix. She takes 3 caps OPC and one Vit C every morning. A lady I work with gives OPC to her son who is in 6 grade. He hasn't taken any antihistamines since starting the OPC. If she is hesitant to try a young child I can understand but we cannot guarantee her anything. We can only tell the effects we've witnessed for others. She can talk to her doctor if that makes her more comfortable. Every person is different and will respond a little differently to the products. Results will not be known until they give it a try. Hope this helps. I know that everyone I have sold it to for breathing problems is still taking it! www.shopatmbi.com an Unfranchised Partner of Market America

Good luck! Bobby H Middletown, PA =================================================== Laura, My whole family suffered with different degrees of allergies. My wife and I both used Flonase and Claritin. Springtime here in Oregon was really bad because if the pollen didn't get you, the molds would. We started using OPC-3 a little over a year ago. It was a gradual process but now neither my wife or I need or use Flonase or Claritin. She used to need to use some kind of sinus product every night or she could not sleep. My children have also seen remarkable results from using our Isotonix products. My whole family now uses the entire Isotonix line and you could not pay me to stop using them. Kevin B Keizer, OR =================================================== Hi Tammy, My 12 month old takes OPC-3 EVERY morning for his eczema. The results are nothing short of a miracle! I fix the normal 1 cap to 2 oz water, give him half (he weighs 24 pounds), and I give the other half to my 2 year old (he weighs 30 pounds). My 9 year old has had asthma since birth. He weighs 65 pounds and I give him one cap of OPC-3, one cap of B-12, and one cap of Vit C each morning. He has not used his inhaler since taking this combination. We are talking about a child with asthma so severe, he has had to be hospitalized several times, was enrolled in an asthma clinic, made numerous trips to the pediatrician each year, and spent countless hours hooked up to nebulizers. He is now a free child who plays competitive soccer! Thank God and Market America! Shona G, Rolla, MO =================================================== Hi Loretta, Our youngest son is 5 years old and suffers with Asthma. This problem has led to a lot of sinus infections, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Since we started him on OPC-3, IsoChrom, and B12 he has improved greatly. He has changed from using his inhaler from 4 times a day to as needed on an infrequent basis. He weighs 56 pounds and we give him one cap of each a day, unless his asthma flares up then we increase the OPC to two caps a day. After a few of days we go back to one cap of OPC a day. We have also had good success by adding Mineral Blast twice a week. As with any small child, this is what has worked for ours. Please consult your own doctor about changes to treatments. www.shopatmbi.com an Unfranchised Partner of Market America

Roma & Kevin B Keizer, OR =================================================== Judi: I was confirmed with Asthma 3 yrs ago, although I'm sure I've had it for many years, but they kept telling me it was just 'that seasonal cough' thing. I began with the blue, Salbutomaol Inhaler and progressed to the orange, Flovent/Fluticasone Propionate & Beclomethasone Dipropion, Steriod inhalers. In the spring of 96, I had my worst bout of asthma ever experienced. I was on vacation in the US, had run out of inhalers, did not have coverage while in the US and was unable to get replacements in the states. My only recourse was to see a Dr. on unfamiliar soil, however, I chose not to do so for fear of the medical nightmare of paperwork upon my return to Canada. I dreaded the thought that this would be how I would have to live the rest of my life, short of breath, depending on inhalers to give me relief. I don't know which scared me the most, being on the inhalers, dependent on them for relief or the fear of walking out of the house without them. I have been using OPC (3 caps per day) for a year now and also Thermochrome5000 for 6 months. I have not had to use my inhaler once in this period, not even during the worst of times during the spring, or during the past very humid summer in Toronto or on my vacation to Florida. If at any time, I feel a twinge of shortness of breath, or wheezing, I just take another cap full of OPC and it gives me relief. I will never be without OPC, but I will be without the dependency of the inhalers!!!!! Donna D Toronto, Ontario ================================================== I have been taking OPC-3 for several months and found my overall health improving greatly! However, in July, my asthma seemed to find a life of its own (I am surrounded by farmland, where crop dusting, burning, pesticide and herbicide use are commonplace). I was on Proventil, Intal and Azmacort inhalers, a dose of Singulair at night, and used both Vancenase and Nasalcrom. I still suffered with poor breathing capability, chest tightness (sometimes I would even say chest PAIN). Within 18 hours of drinking Ultimate Aloe (about 4 ounces spread throughout the day), I have been able to give up all six of these medications. Even though I, too, would kill if someone took my OPC-3 away, I would now also do the same for my Ultimate Aloe! Those of you with allergies should try it if you aren't using it regularly now. I hope this helps another as it has me! Theresa H Boise, Idaho

My Mother-in-law is just singing about OPC-3. She has been on everything there is prescribable for asthma and when she started OPC-3 (2 doses in the morning and 1 in the evening)she was able to stop one of her steroid sprayers. Then she increased to 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening and now doesn't use the two inhalers she's been using forever. This is a woman whose asthma has been so bad at times that she has spent a lot of time in the hospital and on oxygen at home, steroids and antibiotics just to live. She's thrilled and is also a big seller of OPC-3 as a distributor! Cindy B ==================================================== Hi! Just had to respond to this one. One of the most amazing results I have personally experienced since taking OPC3 is the reduction, pretty darn close to elimination, of my sinus problems. I also had suffered from year around allergies and adult onset asthma for the last 15 years. Lived on Seldane until they took it off the market, then Allegra, plus inhalers for the asthma. I've now been taking OPC3 along with B12 and Vit C for close to 2 years. During the first year I noticed that with every month that went by I had less and less trouble. First I stopped taking the Allegra. I then gradually weaned myself off of all the inhalers. I now take nothing but my Isotonix and have had virtually no problems. I am 48 years old, female, about 125 lbs. I take 2 capfuls of OPC, 1 cap B12 and 1 cap Vit C daily during the spring and fall/early winter when my allergies use to flair up the most. During the other times of year I take only 1 OPC3 and still do just fine. I never experienced the severe migraines with my sinus my Mom did. After I started having such great results I made sure she tried it too. My Mom would get the type of migraine that only a bed, a completely dark room, no noise and a powerful pain killer could help. She has now been using OPC3 and B12 mainly for about a year and a half and hasn't had one these migraines for over a year now. What a blessing for all of us!! It use to be downright scary. I urge your friend to stick with it. The rewards are well worth it. 11 days is just not long enough to judge what will happen. It was at least 2-3 weeks for me before I really noticed a change taking place. And then it just got better and better!! Best of luck! Judy R Aloha, OR ==================================================== About 8 or 9 years ago I contracted environmental/chemical asthma (sick building syndrome does exist and it's cheaper for corporations to pay off victims than to fix the problem). I was diagnosed with a 45% permanent disability in each lung. Until this happened I was pretty healthy. I sang for almost 20 years with a well-respected choral group and was a volunteer cuddler in the neonatal intensive care unit at the University of Connecticut Health Center. I only bring these up because I had to give them both up. In both cases, the air quality in the buildings was poorer than my lungs could handle. Yes, my lungs were in worse shape than preemies on oxygen. I took theodur twice a day - a lovely drug. My blood levels had to be tested fairly regularly because there's such a thin line between toxic and therapeutic dosages. I owned four different inhalers. One went everywhere with me, because breathing isn't optional. One was to be used regularly as a preventative and the other two were pretty much for recovery when (not if) I had an attack. One of these lovely inhalers worked beautifully (usually), but gave me thrush in my throat. Horses and AIDS patients also get thrush. When all else failed, I had to www.shopatmbi.com an Unfranchised Partner of Market America

take a 10 day course of prednisone, an oral cortisone. When I knew I would be taking the prednisone, I would offer a blanket apology in advance to anyone within firing range. That was just for the emotional effects, you don't want to know about the physical ones. My attacks could and were set off by: paint, perfume, smoke, scented candles and incense, cleaning products, excessive garlic and any other strong, or sometimes faint, odor. The easy ones lasted about a day or two, the bad ones took weeks, four inhalers and the prednisone. If I walked into a room that had been painted within the past month, I had to leave in less than 15 minutes or suffer a "bad" attack. My attacks are characterized by a deep, barking cough - mating season at Seaworld. On the up side, all the coughing caused nodules on my vocal chords and now I sound like Brenda Vaccaro, Lauren Bacall or Wallace Beery, depending on the day. I couldn't go back to singing now, no matter what. Bottom line - I started taking the OPC-3 a year ago. I've thrown out the inhalers, haven't taken any theodur for 11 months and 6 months ago spent 5 hours watching television in a room that was between coats in the process of being painted, with just the teensiest tightness in my chest that was gone by morning. Take away my OPC-3 and your death will be soon, slow and painful. :-) -Donna P Vernon, CT ====================================================== Hi. My dad, 79 years young has been on 2 caps of OPC daily for 4 months. He was on 3 - 4 caps for one month because the 2 caps in the beginning were not making any improvement in his asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and adult onset diabetes. Since the "up" doses made a terrific difference in his breathing, I lowered his dose to a maintainence of 2 caps. He was "chair ridden" previous to OPC. He couldn't even get up to greet his children or grandchildren; always sleeping in "his" chair. He was in and out of the hospital for years, the doctors always upping his Prednisone. He is also on inhalers and other medicines for asthma and emphysema and bronchitis. He continues to take these, but he is literally acting like he was when he was 50. He scouts the neighborhood, bringing in their rubbish barrels on rubbish day so that they won't blow around in the street while the neighbors are at work. Always out for walks talking to neighbors, etc.... Several neighbors have asked what has gotten into Dad to make him so energetic , and I tell them about OPC. I have not made any sales to them yet, but my dad is the major reason I entered the business 2 short months ago, and have several prospects who know him and his increased health and energy, who are buying the OPC and are on my names list for future prospects.

I have had severe asthma and allergies for 23 years, using an inhaler regularly 2x/day and another inhaler as I needed it for an attack. I used Flonase nasal spray year round for allergies. After being on Market America products for 6 months I "weaned" myself off of these prescriptions and am no longer on any medications!! Once in awhile my allergies may act up if I am raking leaves or mowing the lawn (really in the pollen and mold) and I just take an extra dose of my "cocktail" (OPC-3, Antioxidant, Vit.C) and my allergies subside. I am not sure about Thermochrome and children, but I know for a fact that TC Select plays a role in keeping my respiratory system relaxed also. Pam S Mason City, IA

==================================================== Asthma 11-14-00 Date: 11/15/2000 1:10:44 AM Pacific Standard Time From:Connie V We have a customer who has a little girl who has been on OPC-3 for about a year now and she is three years old. Her parents can't say enough about OPC-3 and have even told the Dr. about the positive results. He said as long as it works keep using it. This customer was a referral from another customer, (who just happens to be an Herbal-Life Distributor), who has herself given us about 6 referrals. (How's that for an endorsement?) Anyway, the involved customer has given us about 12 other referrals herself. Back to the little girl, she had asthma so bad that we understand she spent most of her time in the hospital and when not at the hospital or Dr.'s office, she was on all kinds of RX, inhalers, etc. We can't begin to describe the results that the parents have expressed to us! She now takes one capful OPC3 per day and if she seems to have symptoms coming on, the mother has her double up on the dosage. Lastly, my wife just came back from delivering product to this family and the little girl referred to my wife as "Mrs. OPC". That is just great, great feeling! Russ & Maryanne O
