 Nannette Martin - Writing & spelling is no longer a struggle for Tyler
For a long time I'd been having muscle aches and fatigue that were gradually getting worse. A specialist I consulted wanted to give me some medications, but I didn't want to take drugs-my husband's a pharmacist and he won't take medicine for practically any reason. When I asked the doctor about nutrition he said, "Well, gee, I'm really not trained in nutrition."
I'm a homemaker, do day care and raise cashmere goats on our little farm. After I had met with the specialist I called Chloe Andersen, whose daughter is in my 4-H group. I said, "Chloe, I'm really sick and I don't think I'm going to be able to handle 4-H anymore." She said, "Nannette, I have to come over and talk to you about something. Don't worry." That's how I learned about Algae. I was skeptical because there are just so many health things out there, but Chloe's so sweet I thought I would humor her (I intended to send the Algae back in 90 days because it has a guarantee).
As I started to get up to five Acidophilus in the program, I started to feel a lot better and could notice some improvement in my energy level. I thought, I've got to try this with my son! Tyler is nine, and he's had problems in school from the beginning.
Tyler is very curious and very smart-when he was three he knew all the scientific names for the bones of the human skeleton but he could never sit still very well. In kindergarten they called him "the little butterfly." When he began first grade, he just couldn't do the math or writing. For a while I tried to home-school him, but he would get so frustrated I finally put him back in school to save my sanity and give my other five kids a chance for some attention. It was a disaster. I got a call from school one day to come pick him up because he was actually eating his math assignment!
Last fall Tyler brought home his first report, on killer whales, and it wasn't even legible. But now I was eating the Algae myself and seeing some benefits, so I thought, what do I have to lose by giving some to him? So I started to give him one capsule of Wild Bluegeen Mind a day. Five days later, he brought home a paper from school and said, "Mom, look!" I couldn't believe it: The writing was beautiful, and he'd done this little alphabet at the bottom. I asked, "Did your teacher write the alphabet?" He said, "No, I did".
After he'd been eating Algae about two weeks, one day I was taking a nap. When I got up and walked into the kitchen, he was sitting at the table writing something -a whole page. I asked, "What are you doing?" Before, he would never write or do anything like that voluntarily: it was so difficult for him. He said, "Well, I was so excited about what happened at 4-H yesterday, I thought I'd write Grandma a letter." I looked at what he'd written, and it was just beautiful. Then he brought home some work in December that was gorgeous, along with a note from his teacher that said, "This is the best work I've seen you do." At conference time the teacher said, "I cannot believe the change in his work from the beginning of the school year to now. The contrast is just incredible-I've never seen a kid turn around so quickly."
Tyler's self-esteem has increased. He's never really been a sports kid, but now he's coming home saying things like, "Mom, I climbed the rope at school today". I know the Algae helps everyone in some way-even if you don't know it, the cells of your body know it.
