Settle in. This might get a little long.

We lost our dads when they were 61 and 62 respectively, to cancers. This broke us on many levels. We were young and doing young things and you end up with so many regrets about time you should have spent, places you should have gone, the person you believe you should have been. They both suffered in their last years, months, and days from the pain that cancer sends your way. We would have done ANYTHING to take some of that pain away. ANYTHING.

We drank our way through our 30s and early 40s. Settled down a bit as we aged but still enjoyed far too many alcoholic beverages. Our bodies were beginning to pay the price.

Our joints carried far too much of "us" around. We became more and more sedentary as doing the things we used to do like biking, walking, hiking, etc. just began to hurt more.

We saw some promise in THC and CBD early on. Tried a few of the gummies, etc. They had zero effect on either of us unfortunately.

At some point we were introduced to a company whose experiments with a different part of the plant were showing promise in pain relief and they thought they might be able to bring relief to cancer patients. We decided this would absolutely be something we would follow. If we could save one person from the types of pain our dads experienced, we would be all in on that. So we began following a company called Canurta.

At some point my husband developed a chronic condition that was causing him to lose feeling in his hands and feet. We had no idea that was a symptom of having a little too much fun with alcohol in our younger years. It didn't happen slowly, it was a matter of months from nothing to being unable to pick up small objects, hurting to walk, pins and needles, etc.

Both of us were diagnosed with Type II diabetes. We had family history. We knew it could be coming.  We both loved food and sugar, so it wasn't a total shock and we knew it could be managed.  What we didn't know was that it meant higher risk for so many other things. Amputations. Dementia. The list goes on and on and on.  The stuff that cannot be managed easily. 

For me, joint pain seemed to get worse every month. It was slight at first, then progressed to where getting out of bed became effort. Depression and anxiety were setting in. We were both changing in the way we interacted with others. Withdrawing. Becoming shells of our formerly outgoing selves.

We had our first grandchild. At one point I had played with our grandson on the floor and realized... I couldn't get back up. I couldn't bend in such a way to get myself off the floor. I had to push myself up and roll over. Chasing him was becoming impossible for both of us. Something had to give.

We were still following Canurta. My husband said, "Hey, I know you're going to think this is airy-fairy and granola, and crunchy and all those things you call it, but that Canurta might have something for us. For the joint pain."

He reached out. We were able to secure some samples through some friends before they were ready for market. We gave it a shot.

It wasn't instant but it wasn't slow either. Day one, a little relief (tastes like crap), day two, a little more. Day three and four (I'm getting used to the nasty taste).

DAY FIVE I am crying in the kitchen. I can bend. I can move. I can go up and down the stairs normal, not sideways. What in the actual heck!?!?!!?!?!?

Day six, seven, eight. All just getting better. I notice I'm happier. What is happening? Why would I be happier - this is joint stuff? I notice I'm not nauseous, like I typically was every day. Okay, this stuff is getting freaky.

I start researching. Apparently the flavonoids and polyphenols are absolutely linked to those two exceptionally wonderful side effects as well as all the stuff the science I'll share here supports.

I start Hot Yoga. I start walking often again. We start biking again. I am doing things I have not done since I was THIRTY YEARS OLD.

I cannot promise you that this will work for you. I only tell you what my husband and I have experienced and it has been nothing short of life-changing.

Give it a shot. It's all natural. It's not filled with extra additives or bonding agents or preservatives. The shelf life is short because it is REAL!

Why does it work?!?!?! IT'S THE PLANTS!!!! The natural compounds they use to grow and stay alive are ours to use in these incredible formulas!

And another side benefit - I LOOK YOUNGER.  A friend commented the other day, "How are you aging backward?"  IT'S THE PLANTS!
