Youngevity is a company built on great products. One of the things you'll find out as you get to know this company is that just about everyone has a Youngevity product story.

-If you have ever been afflicted with a disability like I have which has been with you since childhood in one way or another, you know the upset it can cause your body and your mind. Just one of the testimonials that I can give you is that Youngevity has fought the lingering effects of Leg-Perthes disease from my childhood affecting my hip. Two symptoms in particular that have followed me into adulthood, I'll address for you now. The more benign symptom is a tightness in this area that occurs typically from too much OR too little activity or situating myself in an unusual position for awhile. Can you relate this to your own ailments? I'm sure many of you see a similarity with an old football injury or the aftermath of an automobile accident with a shoulder or a knee, etc. 

On the baseline of nutrients from Youngevity from when I first started the products on a simple combination of Ultimate Classic, Herbal Rainforest and regular EFAs, this frequent tightness-basically left me alone. Never even a hint for longer than a few minutes and only under an extreme. For the more dramatic problem, there's another effect I've been left with from this ''childhood disease'' to talk about.

See, although most often, it no longer shows itself to the outside world as a noticeable limp like it once did from the pain, an X-ray of my hip will show that there's nothing normal about it. It will show a definite reason why I SHOULD be in pain or have a limp though. Instead of a smooth ball, my hip joint looks like an old worn Indian Arrowhead you might find in your backyard while digging out a hole for a pool or pond. There's this deformed thing and of course scar tissue. If I don't normally walk with a noticeable limp and have conquered the chronic pains and tightness while on the products, how does this scar tissue and deformed joint get to me?

Occasionally, I'm outright crippled by something that I can only describe as a feeling that something in my hip is ''out of place'' or ''catching'' preventing anything close to a normal range of motion and also very EXCRUCIATING. These days, the most common time that this feeling catches me off-guard is while sleeping. Something about the position or pressure from lying on either side does it. No mattress or pillow or anything of the sort has changed this occasional reminder that even a long string of good days doesn't mean I'm not going to be intermittently disabled. I don't just wake up in the morning and notice this feeling. No, this isn't benign like the discomfort of the tightness. It WAKES me up. The deeper the sleep, the more rattled I am. It's an upset to say the least. Before Youngevity, there was no laying back down after this butt-kicking occurrence. There was no rest for likely several hours and there was no work to be done in the time until I could lay down and go back to sleep because it's constantly crippling until the miserable ''kink'' is worked out. Now, during the years when I had a nearly constant chronic pain there, I'd tried many things for an analgesic effect. I've always known that we have pain for a reason, and painkillers mask, nothing more. Although this is the ultimate in ''had I known then what I know now'' case, that aside, I settled more on topical remedies than pills because of the toxicity. Yes, your liver has to work hard to deal with those pills unlike natural anti-inflammatories and analgesics which work by entirely different mechanisms. I tried Aspercreme and several different expensive versions of ''the blue stuff'' like Emu oil. I can't say one that I've tried definitively penetrated into my pain source with any dramatic significance. Guess what I found? The power of CM capsules and Cream. It's the cream that I'd been handing out in samples when I hadn't had occasion to use it on myself for a few months. Then BAM! In the wee hours of the night I'm in the perfect position to use it. I'm awake from a dead sleep and listening to myself moan...a manly moan of course. Unable to get up at all I'm left with a few moments to moan as my hip ''catches'' and grinds while I try to move my leg around. Even though I seriously doubted the cream would help much on a problem like this, I figured it couldn't by any means hurt it.

I had no doubt it was a great product, because I'd heard the testimonials from friends and relatives but certainly it wouldn't really work on THAT, right?  Wrong! When I got my bearings and convinced myself to drag the dead weight of my leg to the bathroom as the ''ground glass'' feeling crunched and did its ''catching'' in my lousy aching hip, I got that cream and applied it to the area. IMMEDIATE relief. After a few minutes, not only was there no inkling of the usual upset in my groggy mind but I didn't even feel that ''catching'' or ''out of place'' feeling at all! I walked back to bed relaxed in mere moments. I haven't had one of those nights since then, but as unpleasant as the waking up is, I'm not that worried that I WILL have one of those nights again. I don't go without that cream around the house in a regular jar or samples. That's THAT. The CM Capsules are perfect to add to your supplemental program for chronic inflammation and joint pain but that cream for the immediate times when you'd knock yourself out with a bat to get some pain free sleep, that's my insurance right there. The morning after I went back to sleep I had no inflammation or lasting pain or ''catching'' feeling at all. That's power. That's Youngevity. I've got more testimony to the products to offer but I'll leave you with that. When you feel that natural relief from the complex fatty acids and that soothing peppermint oil penetrating your skin, you you won't want to be without it again. Once you've given it time, there's a lot you won't even consider going without unless you can't help it. The tea tree oil, the CM Cream and most importantly, the pharmaceutical grade nutritionals! Want more on how we can change your life?
