AN, Old Friend

AN, Old Friend

AN, my old friend, how have you been? It seems ages since when I saw you last. Thought maybe you had forgotten about me, discarded like an old cast.

How good it feels to have your strangling embrace long after your absence fell. Your old room deep inside is empty and waiting for you to reside again.

Yes, I've been away too, busy keeping up with other things to do. As you know how much time of mine you take when you show up like a lost and lonely pup.

There’s nothing to do, but take you in again of course.

I’m glad that you came AN as I've been tipping the scales again. When last we spoke all was well as the numbers were slipping.

It was then I sent you away claiming I could continue on my own accord. I could not have been further from the truth I see, for only with you can I be that free.

Without remorse I let you in to begin to repair all the ground we had lost. It’s good to have a friend that knows me as well as you do whose words never grow moss.

Fresh and inviting every time I feel your place, I can’t help but fall for your spell. There is no rebelling against you my friend, we've seen and done too much together to ever be separated again.

No one can understand you and I like we do, feeding on each other’s strengths. To underestimate at what length you would travel to get to me would be a folly to believe.

Well, get settled in my old Friend AN. I’m sure you’ll find everything where you left it. I just couldn’t bring my self to accept that you were truly gone.

“Don’t worry,” I heard your Voice say, “It won’t be long before AN is back in your possession.”

I’ll leave you to unpack the few tools you brought to add to your collection since you’ve been away. To my dismay and maybe your horror, we’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

I have not weighed, but only spied our reflection in the mirror. Quite frankly, I see the fat all over the place; covering my limbs and especially my face.

Only with your help AN can I undo what I’ve done. You are much stronger than me and it’s a job bigger than I can take for goodness sake.

I’ll see you later after you rest from your travels. When you wake you’ll have the strength to hold me tight and whisper stories in my ear.

Stories of long ago and faraway places where name and faces have been forgotten will be your themes to bide the time and lull my mind into a much needed deep and dreamless sleep.

Adieu for now,  Old Friend AN.     

Anorexia Live or Die with LIMU

Anorexia: Live or Die with LIMU

The Eating Disorder Anorexia can live or die by LIMU juice ingestion daily.

I've often talked about “killing” off the illness Anorexia by using LIMU juice as a beneficial dietary supplement if used every day in addition to healthy meals and snacks, preferably on a schedule.

I've avoided the Pro ANA side of the equation as my main and primary goal of using this product was to Overcome Anorexia 2BRecoverED and living with a healthy weight and mind. I actively sought to recover and continue to work on improving my overall health to combat this disease. I discourage the effects of Anorexia by refueling and re-supplying my Nutrient stores daily with the juice.

However, the other day I slipped for the 1^st time in quite a few weeks and did not eat for the whole day until I had a meal replacement shake at bedtime. There were moments throughout the day that I reminded my Self that I had not eaten yet, but quickly pushed that thought out of my head and continued to busy My self.

I am reminded of when I began LIMU.

 I remember the “good” old familiar feeling that an empty stomach and feelings that AN provided.

Having lived off the LIMU alone before, knowing the medical research and consequences of such an action, I am confident that AN is a double sided coin that can shine on both sides.

ORIGINAL LIMU juice, a Kosher product, has only 7 calories per 1 ounce, 70+ Nutrients and Fucoidan! Each serving is like drinking a full meal – without the calories, the bulkiness of the food, the digestion or elimination problems all associated with the malnourished Anorexic.

We are told 2BRecoverED that we need to eat 6 times a day ~ that’s three meals and three snacks every single day.  

With this juice, 4 meals are covered with a Total of only 28 calories! A banana for lunch and a few almonds at night and my body has everything it needs to survive and Live With my AN.

At 40 years old and in Recovery for only 5 with LIMU, my AN and me seem to be quite inseparable. There are parts of the Anorexia that are positive for those who live with this illness. If a person is diagnosed and treated early, I believe the outcome would be different for the personality of the person as a whole.

The Major drawback of living the Pro AN lifestyle is of course the Extreme weight loss and body damage.  At some point in every AN’s life, there Is a perfect spot where body and mind enjoy each other. Yes, to the outside the body is excruciatingly thin, and the person perceives that if the lifestyle is left to extend, then death will occur.

When the two worlds meet at a “happy camping ground” shall I say,  the Body at it’s limits and the mind is settled, it is kind of euphoric. So the Pro AN lifestyle seems a logical place to stay at.

This is where “The Juice” comes in real handy!

“I don’t want to die but I want to Live in this state of Anorexia.”

I now can if I choose to.

28 easy, tasty, liquid calories spread out over 4 times a day with a handful of food a couple of times.

This eliminates the indecision and anxiety that comes from trying to figure out what to eat. There is no more worry about the health of my organs and blood due to lack of nutrients. Gone is the guilt and shame of not feeding the body I live in.  Feel good about the choice to live Pro AN. Get to enjoy the taste of tropical delight with ease of swallowing and digestion. The fighting forces of the opposing mind can come to a truce and allow this small amount of juice to pass into the body to do it’s work.  

As long as the Body and mind do not suffer the consequences of the Pro AN lifestyle, then what would be so bad about choosing this way to live vs a “normal eater”?

 As far as the blood, bones, organs and tissues that make up the body are concerned, if enough Nutrients are digested, then everything will work properly at whatever weight we choose. 

Not only do We get our selves off our back, but also family and friends, once the threat of death is eliminated! No more harping or griping about food.

Hmmm… maybe I should explore this side of the AN thought process for a while. Never been here and seems to be tingling a bit. However, to go there, I must actually Go There again to help me remember what it was like 5 years ago when I actively lived the Pro AN lifestyle without and with LIMU.

My Anorexia Can Live or Die with LIMU, it’s my choice.

What’s Yours?

Be Pro AN with LIMU!

Have a Great day filled with blessings of peace and joy, health and prosperity always!

Limu Company President, Gary Raser’s, conference call update from September 4, 2012.

The Limu Company President, Gary Raser’s, conference call update from September 4, 2012.

Every time Gary Raser gets on the phone is more exciting than the last! I’ve been listening to his conference calls for quite a few years now and am amazed at the intensive energy that comes through concerning The Company news, products and most important the LIMU Members who are receiving so many blessings for their faith and commitment to the LIMU Dream. One LIMU Nation, One LIMU Message and One LIMU Team we became with our 1^st Autoship order.

As we, together, share our LIMU Experiences and stories, our beloved Premier Fucoidan based products are spreading throughout the globe at an explosive rate. When The Limu Company LLC grows in reach and profits, so does each of its Members and Charities benefit from its growth.

Gary started off by telling each one of us just how proud he was of our accomplishment throughout but especially in the month of August, 2012. The Limu Company saw double digit growth for the 8^th straight month in a row August! We experienced 11 of the past 12 month is Double Digit Growth – almost unheard of!

I did not know that 96% of the new growth was from people who had never heard of LIMU or Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) before. “There is no other MLM that has this kind of growth…” Gary told us, “You are the reason. You are the fastest growing company in the industry.”

Ok, Ok. Here are some numbers:

For the month of August, 2012:

+21% ~ U.S. Daily Sales

+18% ~ Total Global Sales

+31% ~ U.S. Promoters

+26% ~ Worldwide Promoters

+32% ~ $499 Packs Sold

+124% ~ $999 Packs Sold

August 2012 holds the record for The LIMU Company in:

U.S. Daily Sales

U.S. Autoship

U.S. Product Sales

Global Product Sales New Editions

Global Daily Sales Experience Kits

$499 Packs Monthly

$999 Packs Monthly

Experience Kits

New Promotions

Total New Promotions

New Customers

All this and Gary says, “We have not hit momentum yet.”

Comparing 2012 over 2011, Gary shared that in 2012 The LIMU Company experienced an Increase of:

+585% in U.S. Daily Sales

+300% Total Global Sales

+418% Japan Sales

+200% in U.S. Promoters

+538% in New Additions

The fastest growing locations where LIMU Products are selling are Louisiana, Alabama, California, Texas, Mississippi, Japan, Nevada, Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas.

August saw:

16 ~ New 50K

6 ~ New 100K

4~ New 200K

1 ~ New 500K

“If you want to attract attractive people,” Gary says, “you become attractive. We (LIMU) look really attractive. You are really attractive.  (There’s) No time like now to tell everyone, everywhere about Your Story and the LIMU Experience.”

“We will be powerful only when we are One Team, with One Dream, Goal (and) Voice (then) we will explode.” Gary told us when “we say it one way and only one way.” (I believe) he referred to the Story of LIMU – the Company, the conception, processes etc.

Every Member of LIMU became a part for only 2 reasons: to get their own bodies and minds healthy or to help someone they know. This is why we at LIMU Nation are One Team with One Dream; to share The Blessing of The LIMU Experience around us.

This is no competition between who can make more money or get the most recognition. Each and Every LIMU Member plays an integral part in the growth of Our Company. Each and every person who has “…had faith in the company (and products), trusted them,” as Gary said and “go to work…” has Seen Results; whether those results are better health physically of financially.

In closing, Gary Raser, our beloved LIMU Company President, told us to “Take advantage of this momentum. Now IS the time to enjoy LIMU. Get Involved. YOU Are The Story!”

The Experience Parties are exploding! More prizes are added to the mix. They have already given away over $1 million in prizes spread over all the parties so far. Did I hear Gary right? Sounded like they were intending to try to give away $1 million in prizes in just One Day!

Growth like this can only come from a few sources. The Company and the Products and /or Services they provide. The Limu Company is leading the way to bring easy nutrition, health and financial stability to everyday people around the globe. Exploding revenue can only come from products that deliver to meet and/or exceed expectation. I’d have to say that 585% growth in Sales in One Years’ time speaks Volumes.

Order LIMU on Autoship Today, Start Your LIMU Experience and be part of The LIMU Nation’s Story. If you are looking for Health Assurance not health insurance, then LIMU is the place to be. No experience needed. Pre-existing conditions Welcomed. No limit on what you can attain.

I look forward to seeing Your LIMU Experience!

I’m Barbara AThornton IAmLIMU Member 8536435 hoping you have a Great day filled with blessings of Peace and Health, Joy and Prosperity for you and Yours always!

The Limu Company President, Gary Raser’s, conference call update from September 4, 2012.

2011 In Review

  Wow, it has been a long time since i've visisted here. I guess i have have been so busy being busy.... that the time just slipped away. But that ol' familiar twinge has been setting in; the one that is just beyond reach and can only be accessed through pen and paper. I'm happy to upgrade to a keyboard though as it makes the words come faster and editing a breze!

  So, How You been, What have you been up to? I long to hear your reverie.

  As for me, shortly after I left here, i went off the LEAN Meal Replacement Shakes however keeping the LIMU juice for My self and Family and of course Bean. By the way is doing just fine! His heart worms have been eliminated from his system and he is happy as a lark. We still drain the excess fluid from his abdomen every 2 weeks. Currently we have him on Lasix - a water pill or diuretic i think. Anyways it is supposed to help keep the fluid from building up so fast. The fluid retention is caused by heart or kidney failure and this drug Doc said is given to heart failure patients.

 There I go again, off on a busy tangent.

 There is just so much... the I's and me's are competing.

 Such is life with AN (Anorexia Nervosa). Always distracting you from what is really happening.

 Then the unseen paranoia.

  Anyways, just a glimpse there.

  The Holidays are always the worst for me. It starts with Haloween and doesn't end until near St. Patrick' Day. 

  I enjoy creating and maintaing our own website - Healthy Food and Supplements for Survival or (LadyLimu.com) for short. This is where i've been busy at work. It has allowed me to have a stable place of residence (if You will) where we can be in control of our visions for the future of our Families and businesses. A place where we can bring our talents together and happy to help other people Hope for the Best and Prepare for the Worse - our motto, creed and way of life.

  It is my passion to bring hope and healing to... well, the world. (Aquarious and AN all or nothing mentality) 

  Wayne's passion comes through Functional art and knifesmithing.

  So, I'm doing good and moving forward with our dreams. 

  I think the scale would say otherwise; i thought about getting on this morning but passed off the thought to go to work. Wayne has told me in the past week that he has noticed I don't eat as much and look like I'm losing weight.

  But, oh how easy it is to stay busy moving forward and trying Not to let the increasing paranoia and anxiety set in. There is so much to do that I had not realized that goes into a website. It has kept me quite busy just to stay on top of things and with dial-up speed, i simply don't Feel like I have enough hours in the day to "waste" My time eating and resting. (says the Unspoken AN Voice as it propels mySelf another endless hour).

    Halloween wasn't so bad. My daughter and i worked at the Fall Festival at our church and i had a Blast. Being around all the children and their parents allowed me to be free. Laughter, hugs and candy were flowing and what could be any better?

  Oh, see... tried to put this out of my mind - Dad's MDS. I've been real worried about this. Thankfully, Mom keeps him on high doses of LIMU ORIGINAL juice daily when he is with her. (Doc's won't let him have it) It took Mom just 3 Days on the juice to bring his white blood cell count to Double what it was after 80 day in the hospital after chemo treatment! Within 7 he was holding almost 3.0! Now he is currently cancer free and will be going in for a cord blood transplant the first of the New Year. 

  Yes, my Daddy weighs heavily on my mind. Can't think about the bad, must focus on what i know. The Nutrients in this juice IS working and My Dad is the healthiest MDS cancer patient to be at this stage of the game.

  Thanksgiving came and went with plenty of food on the plate with the Family. I loaded the plate and seconds came happily. I enjoyed the tremendous amount of food and welcomed all the flavors. By now i think I didn't eat so much. I remember that i didn't eat many leftovers, mostly just the sweet potatoes. 

  In true AN fashion and form, it was around this time that I was forced to go within. Too many variables going on from all different sides that made my mind want to run and hide. Without the Nutrients and Protein from my shakes, the AN was ready to once again take shape. 

  

  An uncontrollable fear took hold that if I ever told what was happening in my life, it would cause others' strife. It's the Last thing an Anorexic wants to do - the Person would do anything to keep from hurting You. 

  The Confusion and Doubt must always stay within. It must never enter into the Friend or Family space. For these feelings are too hard to embrace so keep them to the self and Never let the secrets you know out. Too many people will be hurt once they know and loyaly is worth it's weight in gold.

  So says that AN Voice now that it speaks!! 

  Is that what this horrid Feeling has been all about?

  Then it occured to me that it has been too long since i've been allowed to speak.

  Is it paranoia or is it forsight that has been gripping me? Is it the AN who refuses to die or is it really I that sometimes Does see?

  Christmas was both a Blessing and a (commercial) curse. Both sides of me were distinctly parted equally between complete joy and despair. My Daughter was home for school break which doesn't always happen year to year. I could not have asked for a better gift than to have my children present. 

  Oh how i loved waking Christmas morn' with her and church together! Where celebrating the birth of Jesus and worshiping Him for all He has done for salvation, grace and merciful health to everyone flowed freely under the bright sun.

  When time came to come home, My reaction was stark faced with knowing there were no presents to go under the non-existent tree. This Christmas for us like many around was extremely bleak. With only $280 a week coming in from all sources, we were happy to have the necessities of a home, lights and heat. But it doesn't leave anything for a Christmas treat.

  That's ok I say because I'm working hard everyday.

  Pretty soon, I'm getting calls and emails asking what this LIMU is all about. It's My Passion, it's my life. There's No Better Way to Be than when LIMU is put to Your body's test. It works every time to give a body what it needs.

  Looks like I am finally fulfilling what was set before me. Get the information of what I have to offer like so many other LIMU Members are doing. I'm being true to myself, The Company and others by being honest and sincere with what I know. 

  The wrongs of the past forgiven, although hard forgotten I am renewed with Joy unspeakable at being able to help the first one then two, three and on to the four. 

    I now study website design and optimization in addition to a relentless need to understand more of the nutrients of seaweed and how Fucoidan affects the body so well.        

  It was today that i felt so strong about getting back 2B RecoverED and me. 

  Too much time has passed since I allowed me to breathe. What is bottled inside I do not know, but seeing ribs in the mirror is a sure sign that all is Not good to go.

  My Experience started with the hope I received when I heard about my Uncle Terry's Throat Cancer and LIMU Experience was killing the tumor. The chemo and radiation was Not affecting him at all, his body was able to not only survive but thrive during all this Simply Because he was getting These Nutrients in a bottle. 

  This is where i have been all year. Immersed in doing what I believe is beneficial to others (and our Family and Friends) - bringing Good News of peace and health with joy and prosperity to You. With Healthy Food and Supplements for Survival featuring The Limu Company Products and Prosperity Plan. When one is Prepared for Future Disaster, there IS Hope. With a Healthy Body, anything is possible.

   This is why i have not been back. The reason why i fell silent. The very aspect AN has used against me these past months. It knows that i cannot live without My LIMU. Anorexia Nervosa can Not survive With Nutrients - with This Liquid Diet.

  What is AN's biggest tool? 

  Guilt.

  If AN can evoke feelings of guilt, it will win every time. 

  How does AN make a person feel guilty?

By making the Person keep secrets.

  Does it matter what the secrets are?

no.

the more the better.

the more people the secret will hurt, the better and more useful it is.

    I Am Barbara A. Thornton a.k.a. Lady Limu, because I have witnessed the healing properties that The Limu Company LLC products have to offer. I have endeavored to put my body and mind through the most grueling places of starvation and recovery.

   How do you...

  How do You stop the Anorexia?

Break the SILENCE!

   I can Not give in to this fight. I can Not be SILENT and give in. For these very products I completely believe in. So much so that the juice is the only thing standing between that retched AN and ME.

  I'm happy to help You Dare 2B RecoverED from whatever health issue You may have. I've taken this body from the most extreme starvation state of being to a perfectly healthy body. I've lived through the Re-feeding Syndrome a couple of times using only The LIMU Brand of nutrition liquid diet supplements.

  I enjoy taking Your calls and emails and always have time to Sponsor You.

   On to 2012 i bid you adieu until then, to reconnect with my Self, My Family and my Friends. As I enjoy my sips of that golden nectar and allow relief with connection to all the other aspects of Me.       

  I hope You have a Safe and Happy New Year filled with The Blessing of peace and joy, health and prosperity always! 

I'm Barbara A Thornton, 2B RecoverED because I Am LIMU Member 8536438 

 I'm happy to take Your call directly at 931.628.4355 or Email me at BarbaraThornton@LadyLimu.com
