TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDY PARTICIPANTS
#1 Virginia from Vienna, Virginia
I am an active 45 year old woman, mother of two boys ages 10 1/2 and 12 years. I have had headaches since 1973 and migraines since 1981. I can easily summarize my feelings about ForeverWell migraine products in two words: They Work!
Over the years, I have tried innumerable, medicines, prophylactics and over-the-counter medications. In recent years, the cost of the medicines has been a big problem for us, financially speaking. Whenever I would mention the amount of medication I had taken during a bad bout of migraine, my concerned husband would say "you can't keep on taking this for the rest of your life... these medicines can't be good for you... they are probably toxic." "Why can't we get to the root of your problem; treat the cause of migraine and not rely on abortives or pain medication (which mask the root cause)?" He often suggested I go to a headache clinic for a thorough exam but I hesitated because I was afraid of the cost.
Three years ago, I had the great opportunity to meet the internationally renowned, intuitive healer, Dr. Caroline Myss. At the book signing, she gave folks a quick "reading" to anyone who was interested. I spoke with her briefly about my migraines. After a quick "once over" she said, "check your liver." I wrote her remark down and had to move out of the way for the next person. I had no idea what she meant by that comment.
Earlier this year as I was scanning a migraine bulletin board, I read that ForeverWell was doing a migraine study and needed participants. I read the ForeverWell philosophy on migraine "Thinking Outside the Box" which speaks of looking at migraine from a different perspective: digestive dysfunction. (As I read the commentary, what jumped off the page for me were the references made to liver dysfunction... could this be what Dr. Caroline Myss was thinking when she told me to look into my liver function?)
Fortunately, I was accepted as a study participant. I have taken the two products every day for 90 days. NEVER BEFORE have I seen products work this effectively and do what they claim they will do. I have not felt this good in at least 20 years. I feel as if I have walked out of a fog into the sunlight. These products are safe, natural and easy to take. I experienced NO side effects. I had relief within the first week of taking the product. Prior to the study, I was averaging 4-6 migraines/month. I have participated in the ForeverWell study for 90 days and for the past 60 days, I have had no migraines. (I have had a couple of headaches here and there but no migraines.) Once I started feeling better, I realized I had been waking up with headaches at least 4-5 days out of 7 and had become numb to the chronic pain. I cannot adequately express the JOY I feel upon awakening no longer being fearful of a morning headache!
Please try the ForeverWell products and see if YOU find the relief I now enjoy. Please call me if you have any questions relating to the products.
Sincerely,
Virginia M. Rita

Hi Tom,
I had been a migraine sufferer for over 25 years. During that time doctors prescribed various pain medications. While some of these medications offered minimal relieve, some offered no comfort at all. All of these drugs had uncomfortable side effects. As a migraine sufferer I have felt like a human guinea pig being offered controversial drugs. I have left the doctor offices in tears frustrated by their lack of understanding. I lived in fear of my next migraine. Wondering how painful it would be and how long it would last. I felt there was no help for me. I found comfort in reading about migraines on the Internet and it was there that I discovered ForeverWell. I read Dr. Sensenig's theory on migraines and it made sense to me. I felt I had nothing to lose by trying ForeverWell and maybe... just maybe it would work. Well, it did. I used to have at least three migraines a month, lasting from 3-7 days. After taking the products for only two weeks I experienced a significant and profound change in my life. I was free of migraines! I am happy to recommend these product to any and all migraine sufferers.

Dear Mr. Staverosky,
I have been a migraine sufferer for several years. I would estimate that I had a headache for at least 15 days per month. Some were severe and would last three or four days in a row. There were days I had to stay home from work and times I was unable to drive a vehicle. There was also much tension in the home and I just wanted to go to bed because it was quiet, dark, and sleep seemed to sometimes ease the pain a little bit. When I would wake up with a headache, I knew I was in for a bad day. They would always get worse not better. I have used Imitrex and other prescription medications but they had several side effects and after a few months the headaches would get more intense and lasted longer than before. I discontinued their use.
I was referred to Dr. Jeffrey Marrongelle by a migraine sufferer and began taking the natural dietary supplement from ForeverWell called Foundation Formula and Renew Formula. I took the supplements faithfully twice a day. The first month I had only 3 headaches and took Excedrin for only 1 of those headaches. They were mild and lasted only a few hours! The second month I had only 1 mild headache! The third month I began taking the Formulas only once a day and I have been headache free! I continue to take the supplements and have had no side effects. I have more energy and my overall well-being and health have been terrific. I am pleased that I have been able to use a safe, healthy, natural, and effective product for preventing headaches and migraine headaches. Thank you for involving me in this research and above all thank you for developing a safe and preventive alternative to health care.
Sincerely
Connie Evans

Dr. Sensenig and Tom,
I just wanted to express my thanks for including me in your product evaluation. I was diagnosed with "Migraine Sickness" in 1998. From that point on I continued to experience excruciating migraines up until the time I began taking your products. My migraines usually lasted for two full days beginning in the morning when I woke up. I also experienced migraines every month the day before I started my menstrual cycle.
I felt quite frustrated with my doctors, as they were not sure what was causing my migraines. I was put on several different medications, which were mostly unsuccessful. These medications took more time to recover from as for a lack of a better description, I felt poisoned. I did not feel good about taking them and so most of the time I did not. I felt uneasy about missing work 4-6 days per month, and was sure my employer did not understand.
I was ecstatic when I read about your product evaluation. I was on the end of my rope and tired of having these migraines interfere with my daily activities. I am happy to say that for the last two months of my evaluation I didn't have any migraines at all! I have more energy and can finally live without worrying about my migraines. Thanks again for the opportunity to participate in your product evaluation. I will recommend your products to anyone who is experiencing migraines and all the problems associated with them.
Sincerely,
Amy Sellens

Dear Dr. Sensenig,
I've been pleased beyond my expectations with the migraine prevention supplements. I've been able to live almost migraine free and the few I've had have been very mild.
In the past months while taking the supplements I've encountered just about all of my known headache triggers and was pleasantly surprised when the headaches never happened!
I was very skeptical that supplements could really make much difference when I agreed to join the study. I was having headaches so frequently that my lifestyle was one of little more than suffering and avoidance of what seemed to be dozens of triggers. But I thought when I found the information on the study that I truly had nothing to lose.
I don't know if it is coincidence but after a recent cholesterol test I had a lower (acceptable finally) number of 180. I have been attempting through lifestyle management to lower it for quite some time. I believe some of the ingredients may have supported my improvements.
I, my family, and friends are still cautious about making plans or depending on me to be headache free. I hope in time we will all recover our confidence and feel free to live a normal lifestyle not over shadowed by the fear of debilitating headaches and memories of ruined vacations and canceled activities.
I have prayed that I could be freed from the suffering that had become the center of my life. I feel that those prayers have been answered. I wish to thank you for accepting me as part of this study and supplying me with the supplements, and supplying some very much needed insights as to the actual causes of migraines.
You may use this letter all or in part as a testimonial for the success I've experienced with the supplements if you wish.
I had become a prisoner of my pain and I'm truly grateful to have found a key to unlock my prison doors. Thank you again.
Sincerely
Corliss LeMons

Dear Dr. Sensenig,
I have been taking Renew and Foundation Formula for 90 days. Over that time period, I have noticed a significant decrease in the intensity of my migraine headaches; although I did not notice a significant decrease in the number of migraine headaches per month. The decrease in the intensity of the headaches allowed me to perform more productively at work and to enjoy my family better at home. The difference in intensity greatly affected my mood and concentration. I am able to remain focused during a migraine and am less irritable.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Walsh
Natural Medicine and Migraine Disease. Its Time to Think Outside the Box.
By Dr. James Sensenig, ND
Conventional medicine has made great strides in recent years in its attempts to assist migraine sufferers. The popular pharmaceutical abortion drugs are truly remarkable in their ability to stop a migraine in its tracks. Sadly, the area of greatest concern to migraineurs, how to prevent the onset of a migraine, remains an unsolved mystery.
Many significant scientific discoveries are the result of challenging existing thinking rather than accepting it. Let's think "outside the box" in a search for theories that might lead us to a successful approach to the prevention of migraine.
Within my field of alternative medicine, naturopathy, it is believed that most disease states begin with or are complicated by some level of digestive dysfunction. If the body is not efficient in digesting and absorbing the nutrients it needs, and subsequently does not have all the essential building blocks at its disposal than some level of dysfunction will occur. This dysfunction may effect circulation, tissue repair, respiration, liver function, potentially any system or organ within the body.
Let's look at migraine for example. The most common explanation of the cause of migraine in the conventional medical community is that it is the result of changes in the blood vessels in the area of the brain. Therefore, researchers concentrate on ways to interfere with the process of vascular constriction and dilation and thereby reduce or eliminate the pain. Unfortunately this theory and process does not explain why the changes in the blood vessels occurs in the first place. Therefore while this approach may help in addressing the pain it does nothing to prevent the next headache.
One of the prevailing thoughts in alternative circles is that the vascular changes may be the result of a food allergy. This is not the sort of allergy that results in rashes or typical allergic reactions, but rather a reaction to poorly regulated intestinal absorption. A breakdown in the process of intestinal absorption can occur for any number of reasons. Because this function is absolutely critical within the body even minimal digestive dysfunction may cause problems. The intestinal lining is designed to absorb into the blood stream those nutrients which the body needs and just as importantly keep out those things the body cannot use.
We believe that when the intestinal wall allows improperly digested proteins, fats, or other nutrients to enter the blood stream that the body views the undigested nutrients as foreign substances and reacts to eliminate them. It is further believed that in some people this allergic reaction can cause vascular changes. The result of this thinking is that in the treatment of most migraine sufferers we focus initially on improving digestive function. In recent years there have been some wonderful advances in nutritional medicine as it relates to products to improve digestive function. These predigested food products appear to allow the gut wall to heal and thus return to its role of keeping the allergenic products out.
Now for the next piece to the puzzle. There is another critical function in the body that effects the body's ability to recover from chronic disease. The body must be able to detoxify, that is, get rid of the normal waste products and other toxins. In the process of metabolism the body generates the energy it needs to survive and function. A critical step in metabolism is the removal of the waste products generated by the body. In addition to the waste products generated within the body, we are constantly subjected to a wide variety of foreign substances in the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. The body must also be successful in removing these environmental toxins.
The critical organ in the detoxification process is the liver. It is an amazing organ with a wide range of functions. Within alternative medicine circles liver function is almost as critical as digestive function when we attempt to address the root cause of disease.
If I were to summarize the philosophy that is the basis of this article in one simple sentence it would be: give the body what it needs (digestion), enhance its ability to eliminate what it does not need (detoxification) and the body will invariably move toward better health. As a practitioner it is my job to assist you in returning the body to proper, that is normal, function.
In over twenty years of clinical practice I have seen this approach work time and time again with migraines. I am dedicated to bringing this successful approach to the attention of as many migraine sufferers as I can.
