Dear Fruta Vida,
I was diagnosed with internal scleroderma, an auto immune disease, in 1998. This disease is said to be incurable and its defining characteristic are the building up of collagen in the internal organs.

Scleroderma patients develop symptoms such as extreme fatigue, joint and muscle pain, circulation problems to the extremities and severe digestive problems, just to name a few.

About a year ago, I began really feeling the affects of this slow-moving, but sometimes fatal, disease. I began sleeping more (sometimes 11-13 hours a night just to make it through the day), was experiencing joint and muscle pain and also developed digestive problems (including intolerance to wheat, corn, dairy, sugar and soy).

What affected me most of all, however, was that no matter how much I slept, I was always fatigued. I was beginning to become depressed and had given up on a lot of my projects, hopes and dreams. I simply did not have the energy to do anything other than go to work and fall into bed each night.

Well, all that changed three weeks ago!

From the moment I began taking Fruta Vida, I noticed a difference! I now have more energy. My thinking is clearer, my mood is brighter and I do not fall into bed at nine o`clock every night! I now get 7-8 restful hours of sleep and have energy to burn.

As a "lagniappe" (that`s N`awlins-speak for something a little extra), now I can go out with friends on a weeknight (and stay out a little late) and not fall apart at work the next day! 2-3 ounces of Fruta Vida a day (in addition to maintaining a healthy lifestyle) has helped with my digestion as well.

I haven`t had a digestive flare-up in the three weeks since I have taken the product. In all honesty, I haven`t felt this good and had this much energy in a long, long time. I look forward to what life has in store for me in the months to come!

Thank you Fruta Vida! Nicole Pugh
