Personal Health Update and other Testimonials

It has now been just over two months since I've began ingesting the Genesis and Ultra Vitality. It is really hard to tell people about the product because everytime I hear somebody talk about an illness or ailment that they or someone they know are experiencing I say "You need some Genesis." And so maybe they don't believe me that yes it does help with just about everything you can think of. For me, like I wrote about a month ago, it has pretty much wiped out my chronic fatigue symptoms, has improved my eyesight (verified by my recent prescription on July17) and got rid of the floaters and eye strain that were causing my headaches. Not to mention that I finally feel like I am slimming down a little bit around my middle, even though other people have been commenting on that for weeks, I am just now starting to notice that for myself. Actually, my grandmother started on the products and dropped about 15 pounds within the first couple weeks. And I would say that her skin and hair looked better and even her eyes were a little brighter. I have not seen her since, but will report back after I get together with her this weekend. AND speaking of grandmother's, Symmetry's Director of Field Services has told me about his grandmother who is 95 years old and has been taking the Symmetry nutrition for several years now and she is not on any medication and does not have any pain in her body - that is pretty amazing for a 95 year old lady!

Now back to me, I haven't blogged about these next two items before because it is a little personal, but then I decided to share it because it may be helpful to other people out there. I don't know if this is considered Irritable Bowel Syndrome or not, but it has been brought up a couple times by physicians when I let them know about my symptoms, but again like I mentioned in my previous post, because these symptoms were "normal" for me and I was young it really wasn't given that much attention. So anyway, to sum it up I would say that diarrhea has been my norm since at least mid-high school, possibly earlier but I can't say for sure. I remember having hot dogs at a friend's house and it immediately went through me and that was sort of when I really started to pay attention to the effects of everything that I was eating. I have had ulcers and unexplainable abdominal pain in the past and these were either cleared up through a Master Cleanse or acupuncture, but the diarrhea always persisted (actually there is a young man that works in my office who has had ulcers for 17 of his 26 years and he started taking the nutrition and within a matter of weeks his ulcers were cleared up and he was able to drink soda for the first time in a very long time!).

NOW, however, I am happy to report that my GI tract seems to be regulated. For the first 2 weeks on the Genesis and Ultra Vitality I really started clearing things out, if you know what I mean. And since then it has been smoooooth sailing, literally. Everything comes out nicely packaged, if you know what I mean about that too.

I do have another story for you as well, but I think I will let you all digest (pun intended) this one first, before moving onto the other highly important yet very different subject of breast health.

Take Care!

Where do Symmetry Products come from?

Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting one of the men behind the Symmetry nutritional products, Dr. Mark Crāpō - Vice President, Product Development & Training. At the workshop, we were fortunate enough to receive his lecture on the benefits and appropriate use of Symmetry's products. Even though there was so much great information, I know it was just the tip of the iceberg. You can view more about Dr. Mark Crāpō at his website http://www.drmarkcrapo.com/

Truly Live Well Longer

The following is an email between myself and the Director of Field Services at Symmetry. I was in attendence at a presentation he gave at a company workshop, where he described his elderly grandmother of 95 years old as not being on any medication or in any pain. She takes the Ultra Vitality, Genesis and Calcium. Can you imagine how much she has saved in medical and medication costs over the years that she has been using the Symmetry nutrition?

Hi Sara—See below.

From: Sara Fetyko [mailto:fetykosara@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 1:13 PMTo: brandon.langer@symmcorp.comSubject: Question about your Grandma

Hello Brandon! It was great to see you at the Celebration in Chicago last weekend - I really enjoyed your presentation.

[Brandon Langer] Thanks! It is always fun to come out to Rhino State. It is such a good environment.

I was curious to find out more details about your Grandma's story (if you don't mind sharing). I have quite a few elderly people that I would like to see start taking the products and I think her story would help. You mentioned that she is now 95 and does not take any meds and is not in any pain. Can you tell me how long you have had her on the products?

[Brandon Langer] She has been using Symmetry nutrition for many years. She has been using Genesis since its inception and the UV caplets until recently she switched to the drink because it was getting hard for her to swallow pills.

Was she on medications before she started taking them?

[Brandon Langer] No she has never been on medication.

Is it just the Ultra Vitality and Genesis that she uses and what sort of dose does she take?

[Brandon Langer] She takes an ounce of UV and 4 ounces of Genesis. She also takes our calcium.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Regards,

Sara Fetyko

Ultra Vitality

I have been mostly focused on the Genesis in this blog, but thought it would be a good idea to start getting out more information on the Ultra Vitality. I believe the two products really work in synergy with each other

Thank Goodness the Genesis is Here!

Oh Happy Day! In case you missed it, I wrote in yesterday about how I had cut-back on Genesis and I was preserving it until I received my next shipment. Luckily, I found a partial bottle that I had left at my office so I started getting back on track yesterday afternoon. And once again, I was up and at em nice and early this morning and with very little effort I seriously jumped out of bed.

There are also a couple of the other things that I have noticed changing, which I have not yet mentioned:

- My sesamoid bone (little bone on the ball of your foot that keeps the tendon running to your big toe in-line) has been fractured for the last 5 years. In fact, just this past April I had another x-ray taken before I ordered my orthotics because it was in constant pain and I decided to finally do something about it. My podiatrist agreed with the 2 orthopedic surgeons, whom I had seen in the first couple years after it happened, that the only option to fix it would be to have surgery and actually remove it altogether because it will never heal. The main options for dealing with the pain are to wear orthotics (which only fit in tennis shoes - so no cute shoes for me unless I want to deal with the pain) or to have Cortisol shots, which have their own unpleasant side effects. And so long story short - I have not felt any pain in at least 2 weeks now, regardless if I am wearing my orthotics or not. And I really have not been wearing them since it started getting warm outside because I like to wear my flip-flops and other flats. Next time I go in for a check up, I am seriously considering having another xray taken to see if it has fused back together because it honestly no longer feels like it is fractured.

- Two days ago I noticed my pooch of a belly is looking flat. That's all I have to say about that :O)

- Also, my 70 year old grandma has reported 15lbs of weight loss in the last couple weeks. At the same time that she started taking 4oz of Genesis each day, she also started using more low-sodium recipes, which may have a little bit to do with it, but I don't know anyone else who has struggled with weight for many years to lose that much poundage in 2 weeks simply by lowering their sodium intake. I have not seen her yet since she started the program, but her step-daughter told me to get an "after" picture because she claims she has never known my grama to look so good. "Her skin and hair look great. She is glowing!"

- Finally, I had twisted my ankle on April 1 (moving day) and have had to wear an ankle brace everyday for 2 & 1/2 months. Even by doing that and icing and taking Advil, my ankle still throbbed if I took the dog for a short walk or drove too many miles. I was given a 30 day supply of Symmetry's Glucosamine (thanks Angie!) and after taking it for 5 days my ankle feels completely healed! To someone who has been gimping around for a long time now it was absolutely amazing when I realized I was no longer in pain!

A Little Bit of Reversion = A Little Proof

This past weekend I headed to Chicago on Friday morning and I had about 1 oz of Genesis since my bottle was getting low I wanted to preserve it and decided that I since my cells may be "saturated" by now I could try to cut back. However, I also did not bring any along with me on my trip and realized that on Saturday afternoon, I was starting to drag a little - not terribly, but definitely a different feeling than I had been having since getting on the Genesis Saturation Program (1 -32 oz bottle a week). So I borrowed a little from someone else at the convention, and only took a 1 oz serving around 5pm, which perked me up a little bit, and then again Sunday morning 1 more ounce, which got me through that day.

Yesterday, Monday, I took another 1 oz serving and started yawning again around 3pm so I took another shot and made it through the rest of the day feeling better. The biggest difference, however, was this morning. I am now back to forcing myself out of bed at the very latest possible minute before I had to get up and get ready. Additionally, I have noticed my foggy brain syndrome return a little and the charlie horses and cramping in my calves and feet returned a little bit.

Needless to say I am anxiously awaiting my next order to arrive and I will begin upping my dosage again - perhaps instead of 4oz each day, I will try 3oz. Not that it really makes a difference to me since it tastes so good and I love drinking it. My grama and step-grandpa have even made this their happy hour drink now that they can't have actual alcohol due to health concerns. I also had cut down on my red wine consumption last month since I just replace my daily glass with the Genesis and I am now getting the standardized amount of resveratrol that they put in each serving so I know this is truly helping my heart, circulation, and brain functioning as well as getting me lots of compliments on my skin and hair. And heck, the cost will be worth it if I hardly ever get sick again or don't have to take pharmaceuticals for anything again. Even when I have insurance and I go to the doctor the bills have always been more than I ever expect them to be.

Wellness Progress

It has now been 18 days since I began my saturation period with the Genesis and Ultra Vitality nutritional drinks from Symmetry Corp. Have I felt a difference? Well, about 3 days ago, I pretty much jumped out of bed before about an hour and a half before the alarm went off (5:30AM) and made a full breakfast, played with the dog, wrote in my journal, did dishes, made a homemade lunch to take to work, etc etc. Could have been a fluke, except it happened again the next day. And that day I scrubbed the bathroom, did laundry and a bunch of other little household chores all before taking a shower and getting ready for work. And again this morning I was up and at 'em only I decided to just relax a little, after all it is Friday.

Now maybe there are some of you out there that do this kind of thing everyday or are at least able to get out of bed no problem at 5:30AM, however, for me I typically set my alarm as late as I possibly can and still hit snooze a few times and basically have to use all of my bodily force to sort of roll myself off the bed and sluggishly walk to the door to let Tatonka outside and then shuffle back to the bathroom to "hurry up" and get ready for work.

Okay so maybe that is no big deal either for the people who are slow to get up perhaps you can still accomplish all you would like to do and more at the end of your day. But again, I am just comparing this to how I was not even a few short weeks ago. If I had something planned after work, it was really hard for me to get through it and then I would have to come home and crash and if I was out past 8:30 - 9PM I would almost be falling asleep on the way home. Plus I usually do my best to only schedule 1 or 2 evenings worth of activities during the week because I seriously would not have the energy to do anymore than that.

Now this past week, I had commitments everyday after work that lasted until 9PM or later and still came home and was able to stay up and read or watch a movie or do whatever. I don't know if this sounds like much to some of you, but for me, someone who has been called an old lady by her friends more times than is healthy for a 32 year old, that is a pretty major task (plus I have been told by a couple doctors that I most likely have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or something similar, which basically means there is nothing they can do for me besides tell me to live with it). The only other thing in the past that has seemed to help me with CFS type symptoms was acupuncture.

My boyfriend who also started taking the Genesis and Ultra Vitality at the same time has reported more energy. I have also noticed that he seems a little more "vibrant." Plus, he seems to have more stubble at the end of the day - bad for him, but good for me :O)

And one more major breakthrough! My mother actually complimented me like 4 times in a row the other day. As I was getting ready to leave she looked at me and said " You look younger." Then " You look healthier." And " Your hair looks better and your skin too." And finally, "You look thinner." Compliments from my mother don't come easy - so I was impressed!

Seriously, as I stated I would do earlier in this blog, I have not altered my diet or exercise regimens - the only difference has been the addition of Genesis and Ultra Vitality. Try it for yourself for 120 days and if you don't think the products did anything for you, Symmetry will give you your money back (less S&H).

Genesis Testimonials


I was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago. Chemotherapy almost killed me because it doesn't just kill the cancer cells. It literally burns the inside of your body and kills everything good or bad. After my treatments where done I was told I was in recession. 6 months later it was full blown again. They wanted to have my breast removed but After my brother pleading with me I started using Symmetry's nutrition, instead. Today I am completely cancer free and healthier than I have ever been. The ingredients in their products saved my life. You can't tell me that aren't the best in the world or that it comes a dime a dozen. Everything that is in their products is documented, scientifically. Do some research on resveratrol, it proven to stop cancer in every phase and that's one of the ingredients in their product.

Michele- MI

The Genesis has not only given me healthy benefits, it has given me the opportunity to see my grandfather have more energy, it has lowered my father's blood pressure and given my grandmother better memory with her Alzheimer’s!

Tiffany H.

I suffer from severe fatigue, blood loss, nerve pain, blurred vision and body stiffness that would come on instantly. I could not straighten up and walk normally and would occasionally lose the use of my limbs. I was offered a chance to try Genesis and I knew the ingredients were healthy for me so I took it. Within three days I noticed I was moving very well around the house. In one week I had flexibility in my back. Not only could I straighten up, but I could play with my children. My nerves were not so irritated anymore, and I was generally a nicer person. Now I exercise regularly and recover in good time. I feel like a normal person again and that is extraordinary.

Kristen- CA

I started working with a girl whose dad had such bad diabetes, that he had diabetic comas. On just two days of Genesis, his blood sugar level dropped to 130. He is so excited; he has a new outlook on life.

Jon- MI

Since my grandson was born he has suffered respiratory distresses and visiting the emergency room was normal for him. Now, Genesis is his favorite drink and for over 7 months he hasn’t had to go to the emergency room. No more watery eyes, no colds, or runny noses. He has his life back.

Inie- IA

I have a difficult time digesting my food, which resulted in severe chest pains and nausea. A physician told me that I was developing acid reflux. I started taking Genesis three times a day for four weeks straight. The pain is now gone and my digestive system is back to normal. In addition, my energy level has increased. I continue my daily regimen of Genesis on a daily basis.

Jackie- NY

I never thought I could be free from the constant bouts with allergy/hay fever, acid reflux and asthma. But thanks to Symmetry for Genesis - now all that is in the past. I now have a healthier present and future.

Rose- NY


I get better sleep and my muscle aches and pains are gone now that I'm drinking Genesis everyday.

Alice- NY

Why Nutrition

Here is a talk given by the founder and President of Symmetry Direct, regarding why he got into the nutrition business as well as his ideas behind these nutritional products. Great info whether you are looking to get into the business or just interested in the products. Please take a listen!

Value Comparison

The first time someone tells you about a product they are selling, what is the number one question that most people have? How much does it cost? or Can I really afford this? So let's say you decide to become a preferred customer so now you are getting a bottle of Genesis for $33.30, which comes out to about $1.11/day. I am sure we all have something in our lives that most likely is not as valuable as a product that brings you whole, organic nutrition. Seems kind of odd that someone would spend more than that for a bottle of water or a bad cup of coffee daily at the gas station and yet say that they "can't afford" a product like Genesis (not that there are any products LIKE Genesis).

Still don't see the value in Genesis? Let's break it down a little more. The key ingredient is called Resveratrol, if you haven't heard of Resveratrol do a google search and you will come up with a wealth of information from hundreds of sources that can tell you the benefits of this miracle compound. You get the same amount of Resveratrol in a 1-ounce serving of Genesis that you would get from 1 bottle of red wine. Additionally, every standardized serving also has more ellagic acid than 1 whole pommegranate. I think the going rate for a pommagranate is about $3. And that is just two of the nutrients you get out of 1 serving!

PLUS! think of how much you spend on any other thing to make you feel healthy. All the co-pays to the doctor, anti-biotics, cold medicines, other multi-vitamins and juices that don't even come close to the nutritional quality of Genesis. The company can't legally claim that this product is a cure-all, but there are some pretty strong testimonials out there from actual users that will tell you (click the image below to enlarge).

Is Resveratrol Good for What Ails Ya?

The makers of Genesis and Ultra Vitality, "The Dynamic Duo" make a lot of claims when it comes to the benefits of their products. So what I am going to be assessing for myself over the next few months, will include the following ailments/chronic states of being:

poor eye-sight
eye floaters
slow metabolism (over ideal weight by about 15 lbs)
gassiness and bloating after EVERYTHING I eat
chronic fatigue
muscle weakness
joint pain and achy bones
depression
anxiety/fluttery heart
something I like to call "foggy brain syndrome"
addiction to sugar and caffeine
insomnia

and there may be others that #1 I am choosing not to share on this public domain or #2 that I can't think of right now, but perhaps as I continue on this new regimen I will start to notice certain differences and will be sure to mention when I do.

And at least for the first few weeks I will keep my daily routines and diet just as they are now so as not to skew the results

Genesis Day One

Yesterday was my first full day on the Genesis and Ultra Vitality first month "saturation" plan. Not sure that I have noticed too much of an effect as of yet, other than the fact that instead of coming home from work and zonking out on the couch I proceeded to do the laundry, vacuum, mop, wash dishes, cook dinner, play with the dog, make a quiche and a loaf of banana bread, scoop dog doo, take out the trash, separate the recycling and water my plants. And that was with having at most half of my normal caffeine intake throughout the day. Perhaps, it was psychosomatic. I had less sleep last night so we'll see if I notice a difference between today and yesterday. For now I am feeling pretty average. If you haven't had a chance to check out my website through Symmetry Direct, I hope you do soon. You've never seen nutritional supplements like this before. My favorite feature of the ordering website is found under the products tab. Here you will find the interactive model of the human body and you can click on him to find the different products that will target your specific problem areas.
