The Un-commercial

In our long search for something to help us keep our weight down, Cathy and I became interested in a company others were using to help with their health. The company is Plexus. We asked questions, learned what we could, decided to become “Ambassadors”, and started using Plexus products.

That was a little over three years ago. Before we began, I was…

• exercising regularly (walking 5K most days).
• eating healthy (at least 4 cups of low/no sugar or carb veggies nearly every day) and limiting desserts to once a week (twice at the most except during holidays).
• still slowly gaining weight.
• struggling to keep my bad cholesterol down and good cholesterol up. (Every check up with our doctor of over 30 years contained the following: “Your good cholesterol is too low and your bad cholesterol is too high. You could stand to lose some weight.” I thought it was a recording he made back in medical school and lip synced it just for my entertainment.)

Back in April of this year, while we were on a wonderful vacation, I was exercising every day (stationary recumbent bike for 20 minutes, light workout with weight machines, and walking 5K) when my left knee started becoming sore. I immediately stopped exercising. It has been getting worse ever since.

This morning, I went for my 6 month visit with our doctor.

• My weight was not a concern.
• The bad cholesterol was lower than ever.
• My good cholesterol was higher than ever.
• Every part of my blood work was very good.
• I told him I hadn’t exercised in 4 months because my knee hurt.
• He sent me for x-rays. (I should find out something tomorrow.)

In all honesty, Cathy does the work (the Plexus business). I have personally experienced the results in my own life. Besides the cholesterol and weight issues, I no longer have bronchitis and sinusitis at least twice a year and I have stopped needing to take Mucinex-D twice a day.

If you would like to know how Plexus can help you, please contact Cathy. She is genuinely interested in helping you and is becoming quite a fountain of information.

As a pastor, I have tried to avoid anything that might be seen as a possible conflict of interest. I will continue to do so. I will not use my position to promote a business and my position is a 24/7 responsibility. That is why I refer you to my wife for information on how Plexus might be able to help you. For issues of a greater and more permanent nature, i.e. eternity, God, your purpose in life, etc., I would be happy to talk with you or refer you to someone who lives close to you.
