MN Addiction Study

MINNESOTA ADDICTION STUDY FINDINGS

In the Spring of 2022, Colin and I were asked by Dave Johnson of Lost Sheep Ministries, and Jacquelyn Sheppard, author of  Silent Take Over: How the Body Hijacks the Mind, to administer a 6mo. study of people who struggle with addiction, as they take an all natural activator, NrF2 Synergizer. Twenty-four adults participated. 18 were monitored over 6 mo, 3 over 3 mo, 3 over 2 mo. Addictions were to: smoking, drugs, alcohol, sugar, flour.  88% shared that cravings went from high to low during their span.  

Taking Protandim Nrf2 Synergizer activates by 300% an increase in Glutathione, 54% an increase in Catalase Production, 34% an increase in Super Oxide Dismutase. Protandim activates the NrF2 protein instructing the cell to make more protective, survival-related enzymes, rather than taking on extras from the outside (supplements do this) With Protandim NrF2 Synergizer, your NrF2 Protein can get to work protecting and supporting the natural repair function of our cells, mitochondria, and DNA from the inside.  This Synergizer is precise and patented. This matters.  The slightest various and it does not activate the Nrf2 Protein the way this patented blend does. The proprietary Blend contains Polynutrients: Turmeric, Green tea, Bacopa, Ashwagandha, Milk Thistle.  With the Synergistic formula Protandim acts differently together than these herbs do individually.  Activating your cellular protection pathways with Protandim Synergizer will make a world of difference in your health. By reducing oxidative stress and signaling your body to manufacture a host of beneficial proteins and enzymes, you turn on, or activate your body.

A month into the study I started coming off some prescription drugs. Several months later I realized drinking alcohol made me sick so I quit. During that time, inflammation went down in my face. I was feeling good.  When the study ended, I initially stopped, thinking I didn't have money. During that time not taking it, I had losses in my life, an realized that while I was taking this Activator I was better overall.  I also realized the money I was spending on alcohol would be better spent taking care of  my health so I can be here for my family. I spoke to my team leaders about starting again. Within days I was feeling better, inflammation went back down and within 30 days my doctor and I talked about me getting off the ADHD meds!  I don't crave alcohol at all for anxiety relief, because my stress level is down. I was a drinker on and off for 20 years. (Diagnosed with Barrett's, struggled with alcoholism 20 years, was a cutter, diagnosed with PTSD, Severe Depression and Anxiety, Insomnia, Bulimia and Anorexia.  I've healed tremendously in the past year. All the Glory goes to God. Since starting this little yellow pill, I've stopped propranolol, Ritalin, Imitrex, and lowered the dose of Temazepam. I'm a completely different person. I'm still in awe!


Another test group member, now 6 months AFTER the 6 months study ended, she's working with her doctor to get off all her meds. She didn't miss a beat and became a customer when the study ended. For years she's been on meds for - depression & anxiety, nerve pain, migraines. At first our convo, she was going to stop this too (putting every caplet going into her mouth together in her mind) then I reminded her of the power of activation and what's been happening in her body this whole time at the cellular level. She gets it and continues with Protandim for it's activating benefits.
