I am a 59-year-old high functioning quadriplegic for the past 31 years. As such, I have taken a lot of medication and eventually developed several other health issues. Many of them caused from side effects of medications, a sedentary lifestyle, etc.

I also have full body arthritis and have lived in chronic pain from the neck down since the surgery to remove a Spinal Cord tumor at the base of the brain stem which left me a quad. As a result of inadequate bracing of the cervical spine after surgery, the top six to seven vertebrae crumpled onto themselves, blew out all the discs and arthritically fused together. Because of the intense pain I've been in, I never had a good nights sleep after that.

All the doctors have done is prescribe medication after medication after medication until finally six months ago, I had a medication interaction that landed me in the hospital.

That was my wake up call. After that, my mission has become to research natural, whole food, supplements for as many issues as possible and to get off prescription drugs! Some I quit cold turkey, others I weaned myself off of. A couple, I may have to stay on for life.

But that's when I found Dr. Gundry's Vital Reds. It addressed so many issues in comprehensive ways and with such quality ingredients that I had to give it a try.

From the first glass, I had a burst of energy that I hadn't felt in over 30 years! I was amazed by the way I felt. Instead of feeling half dead, I felt alive! I actually wanted to do something, get things accomplished. In time, I began wanting to go places, and it gave me the gumption to start looking for a used handicap van to replace the one I'd been driving for twenty-five years. The poor old girl had been sitting for nearly two years, no longer reliable enough to drive.

I was even more amazed by the way it tasted. In fact, it's become my go to drink when I want the Pepsi I used to drink almost daily! For a long time, the enjoyment in my life were the sweets and food I ate, but in my research, I found how badly I was hurting myself. The really sad part is, I didn't care, especially while taking all those medications that made me feel brain dead. Getting off them started the clouds lifting. Finding Vital Reds put me on the road to making a total change in all my food choices.

It wasn't hard to give up the sugar because I had the sweet, fruity, refreshing taste of Vital Reds. Admittedly, I usually have more than one serving a day, but that just seems to add to the positive effects.

Mixing it on the light side and sometimes incorporating ice, has helped my digestion and bathroom habits. That's saying a lot when dealing with spinal cord damage. I've slept better, and I've been losing weight too. I can assure you, neither is because I exercise.
