Nopalea

™

pre-launch meetings are incredible!I just have to relate a couple o these so you can hear or yoursel the outstanding anti-inlammatory and detoxiication beneits peopleare getting rom Nopalea. It is our belie that when the body has theright nutrients, it has an amazing ability to help heal itsel, as that isa unction o the body’s immune system.One story about allergies and asthma is special to me as I suered with these symptoms as achild. I know how much a person suers when normal breathing seems impaired.

“I attended the pre-launch meeting of Nopalea in Phoenix, Arizona. The words of Brazos Minshew,TriVita’s Chief Science Officer, hit home with me. If inflammation is the problem, Nopalea is thesolution. I have had allergies and been diagnosed with asthma which are inflammatory-related. I begantaking three ounces of Nopalea in the morning and one ounce in the evening before bedtime. It has beentwo weeks now and I am symptom-free.”

The next testimonial about pain relie is remarkable but again, we know that when the bodygets the right nutrients, there is a natural improvement in one’s health.

“Her knee was bothering her so much that walking down our sloped driveway to get the mail hadbecome so bothersome, she began driving to the mailbox. Now with her being on Nopalea for a coupleof weeks, she is back to walking the driveway to the mailbox and almost pain free. She is so excited.”

I am thrilled to share these testimonials with you because this is exactly why we ounded TriVita:so people could experience greater wellness. Every time a testimonial comes in or us to read andshare with others, it says TriVita is ulilling its mission. Thirteen years ago I lost my health andwas told by my physicians that I had to change the way I thought about health. I not, I wouldhave no quality o lie and die a premature death. While it was one o the most overwhelmingdiscussions I have ever had, it took me on a wellness journey that has not stopped. And everyday we are inviting others to go on that journey with us. We are always in pursuit o productsand inormation that will help us improve the wellness experience o TriVita Members.In act, it was while I was in the Sonoran Desert in Mexico on a wilderness wellness adventurethat I was exposed to the healing plants o the Sonoran Desert. One evening I was sittingaround a campire with the natives o the Sonoran Desert when a native guide went out in thedesert and returned with some brush-looking material. Placing a pot o water on the ire, wewatched the lames bring it to a boil and then some o the leaves rom the brush were placedin the water to steep. He poured me a cup o the brew and told me to drink it as it would begood or me. That night I listened to the people o the Sonoran Desert talk about the desertas i it were an oasis o wellness. I had always thought o it as a place o rocks, cactus, thorns,rattlesnakes and scorpions – but never did I think o it as an oasis o wellness.

rowing up in the desert of west Texas

,I was never accustomed to green, lushsurroundings, so I’ll have to admitthat moving to the desert o Phoenix in 1993just meant seeing dierent kinds o cactus andplants here. It still seemed very dry and desolate.Recently, that all changed or me when TriVitatook a wellness outing to tour the nearby DesertBotanical Gardens.Read about this surprisingly abundant “Oasiso Help and Healing” on pages 14-15. Now Iunderstand why I’ve heard the word “reverence”used regarding the Sonoran Desert. You’ll beamazed at the healing properties that ow romsticky thorns and plants that one might consideras simply cactus or weeds. As I walked throughthis desert wonderland, I was in awe at the thoughto how God created not only mankind or liepurposes, but He also did the same or every singleplant with multiple purposes in mind – ood,housing and even medicinal purposes.The Sonoran Desert’s Nopal cactus is thesource o our new Sonoran Bloom

Nopalea –a lie-changing wellness drink that I can honestlysay has created the most excitement I’ve ever seenat TriVita. You’ll defnitely want to try Nopalea; notonly does it taste delicious, but it’s also creating quitethe buzz with many who have already experiencedphenomenal results. Check it out on pages 4-5.We hope you enjoy this month’s issue as wecover the important topics o inammation,men’s health and stories rom our own Membersand Afliate Members.
