Please keep in mind after reading the product story below - our Replenex is now better than ever and for a short time l/2 off the normal price -- $9.98 and 8 bps - stock up this month! Here is a great product story thanks to Dr. McCullough...Vicki Re: Glucosamine... Replenex
I have been taking Replenex, Melaleuca's glucosamine product since it was first introduced in January 1996. Personally I have had results far better than I ever expected from the consistent use of Replenex. As a chiropractor, I am aware of many patient success cases from Replenex and through my email network group I am aware of many more success cases. Everytime I hear one of those "unbelievable" cases that just can't be matched, a better success story comes along. Allow me to share one of these unbelievable cases with you.
Michael McCullough, D.C. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- William Kemp, a 62 year old air-conditioning maintenance man for the City of Boise was first treated at my office on October 30, 1987 for left shoulder and arm pain. He slipped and fell on the ice at work in 1985 and was still experiencing problems. He eventually had two shoulder surgeries that left him with chronic shoulder pain and restricted movement. As a result of another injury Mr. Kemp had lowback surgery involving five lumbar disc herniations in 1997. Shortly after the lowback surgery he had to have another lower back surgery for another disc rupture. As he described his chronic pain and disability since these surgeries. "I could not function after these surgeries. I could not walk, sleep, drive the car over 20 miles without intense pain. I could not work and I was ready to retire in January 2002 because I couldn't work."
From 1997, after his surgeries, Mr. Kemp was not treated in my office again until September 26, 2001. He walked into my office without an appointment seeking any type of relief due to his intense lowback pain, burning leg pain and shoulder pain. I treated Mr. Kemp with gentle traction and soft tissue manipulation without any hope of improving his long-standing chronic pain. I informed him that I did not feel that my treatment would be of benefit. My treatment did not provide him with any relief. I strongly recommended that he start taking glucosamine to help prevent his condition from getting worse than it already was. As in the past when I recommended to Mr. Kemp, he failed to follow my advice. In the early 1990's Mr. Kemp was a Melaleuca Preferred Customer and closed his account because he didn't want to have to use Melaleuca every month. Mr. Kemp is one of the most "outspoken" individuals that I have yet to meet and he did not follow my advice to use ANY companies glucosamine.
Since last treating Mr. Kemp in September 2001 I had not heard from him until January 15, 2002 when he called to inform me that he was feeling great, working and was without any pain. Needless to say I thought he was either lying to me or on drugs (prescription). I asked him what he had been doing or who he had seen to be feeling so well. He said that he went to an acupuncturist after seeing me last and the acupuncturist gave him two bottles of pills to take. As he explained to me, he didn't take the pills for a number of weeks later until after his wife confronted him and demanded that he start taking them. Mr. Kemp's belief was that this was just another one of those deals where he was being sold a bill of goods again. With pressure from his wife and with nothing to lose he started taking the capsules in the bottle. As he explained to me, "After taking the first bottle, I started noticing that I was feeling much better and wasn't hurting as bad, and thought well, I'll finish taking the another bottle. About midway through the 2nd bottle I really noticed the difference. When I ran out of the pills I looked on the back of the bottle to see where I could get some more of this Replenex. That's when I saw the Melaleuca label and called Dr. McCullough."
" I am now jogging, dancing and jumping rope without pain whatsoever, and to me it is a miracle. Now I am thanking Dr. McCullough and I don't plan on retiring as soon."

Comments:
Due to time and space I left a lot of information out. Mr. Kemp agreed to share his story with everyone or I refused to get him some more Replenex. Yes, Mr. Kemp will be enrolling in Melaleuca if he wants to get any more Replenex. I let him buy a bottle from me so that he wouldn't run out. I would like to make a few comments
1. I had Mr. Kemp come to my office. I would never have believed his claims without doing an examination. I was amazed at his ability to complete all orthopedic tests without any pain. In fact I was more than surprised because all of his doctors and employers had given up on him.
2. Keep in mind that not everyone is going to respond as dramatic as Mr. Kemp.
3. I am excited to see how he is going to respond to the New Improved Replenex formulation.
4. All glucosamines are not of the same quality, same freshness or supplythe listed amount in the bottle. At this time I am still convinced that Glucosamine HCL is the purist form of Glucosamine. I am pleased that Melaleuca did not bend to the pressures of those who think that chondroitins and MSM are necessary. The three new ingredients: Bromelain, Ginger Root Ext. and Green Tea Extract will be a powerful improvement to Replenex.
5. I am convinced beyond a doubt that anyone who is not taking glucosamine over the age of 40 and in many cases even younger will wish they would have been taking it in a few more years. I am more than surprised that Melaleuca included three more ingredients and did not raise the price! Not to mention cutting the price in half as an introductory special.

So, are we supposed to pass it on to Craig and Barbra or Steve and Edie?
~~~~Please keep in mind after reading the product story below~~~
You keep in mind there is no selling here. I got your e-mail saying you weren't selling anything. Posting prices and directing people to commercial sites is advertising, even if you don't make a dime off it.
~~~our XXXXXX is now better than ever and for a short time l/2 off the normal price/~~~~~
Sneaky way to get rid of the old sh.t!
~~~stock up this month!~~~~
I'm saving my money for Disney World!
~~~~Here is a great product story~~~~
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
~~~~I have been taking XXXXXX glucosamine since it was first introduced in January 1996. Personally I have had results far better than I ever expected from the consistent use~~~~~~
Good for you, but you still can't sell it here.
~~~~As a chiropractor,~~~~
sh.t, it figures.
~~~~~I am aware of many patient success cases from Replenex and through my email network group I am aware of many more success cases. Everytime I hear one of those "unbelievable" cases that just can't be matched, a better success story comes along.~~~~~
Ten bucks says if you try hard enough, you can work 'success' into the paragraph 3 more times!
~~~~Allow me to share one of these unbelievable cases with you~~~~
ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Not only are you advertising a commercial site, by announcing that you're a DC, or quack as I call them, and posting your office phone numbers, you're trolling for patients. That isn't allowed either.
