Immune System Support

My boyfriend recently had a back injury.  Well, I'm sure it wasn't recent but a long time in the making with a blow out a few weeks ago.  He bent over to pick up something and BAM!!!!  The poor guy was walking around on crutches and unable to carry out normal activities of daily living.  The pain was excrutiating.  Now this was very disconcerting due to the fact that at this time, he doesn't have health insurance to cover major injuries.  So we paid cash for an MRI and found out that he has a 11-12 mm extrucated disc in his back.  The Dr. said that he would have to have surgery to fix it.  We were quite distraught over this as we could afford a doctor visit, but surgery, no way.

We own a dance studio together and one of our clients and friend, came to us and suggested to take the supplements that they were on. They gave us a story of when they first started and that it changed their lives.  Now this couple is NOT 20yrs old but middle aged such as we are.  They are at our studio every Friday and they dance till midnight as well as giving line dance lessons and more.  I can see that they are quite healthy.  She never complains of pain in her feet or back like we do.  She stated that after starting these supplements her bone spur did not cause her pain any more and her husbands digestion and bowel movements were regulated {like I really needed to know THAT!!}.

So we decided to try it.  We actually signed up to distribute so we could get it even cheaper and stay on it for a long period of time.  Well, it's been about 3 weeks and my boyfreinds back still hurts but he IS walking and occasionally even dances.  The only thing he is taking is the Acai Soda and the Colostrum.  He doesn't even take motrin on a regular basis any more.  Pretty amazing. 

As for me, I did it too because we bought all that product.  I feel like I have a ton more energy and my feet are much less sore than they used to be.  Overall I am very impressed with the product so I decided to let people know and introduce to it.  You can try it or not but it worked for us and it worked for our line dance teachers.  So maybe it will work for you too.

Immune Tree Certified Colostrum powder placed into a two to three-month tub. Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (approximately 3,000 - 6,000 mg) of powder in the mouth and allow it to dissolve. Or it can be blended with any health beverage into a smoothie; just add ice.

It contains the entire IGF-1 superfamily, focusing on antiaging; over 95 Immune factors that support health and wellness; all of your essential amino acids, fatty acids, and glyconutrients; and metabolic factors, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.


Professor Emeritus Dr. Donald H. Lein of Cornell University certifies ONLY Immune Tree Colostrum to be "True Colostrum". We use only Immune Tree Certified Colostrum which is low heat spray dried, chemical-free, and 100% natural with NO fillers of any sort!

AcaiSoda is a synergistic blend of supplements so strong that most people feel the difference in 10-15 minutes. Simply mix one sachet into 2-4 oz of water, allow it to activate, and enjoy! Take once daily.



AcaiSoda is an effervescent/isotonic blend which contains Acai berry (pulp), Colostrum, Laminaria Japonica Fucoidan, Clinoptilolite, Fucoxanthin, and Acetyl L-Carnitine.

Children Encouraged to Explore the Arts

Bea Hive Dance Studio’s Summer Camps
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sunday, May 2, 2010

It never takes long for the excitement of summer vacation to turn into boredom and an itching to get back to school to see friends. With parents still working, day cares are often a solution to keep kids entertained over the summer in a safe environment. But Bea Hive Dance Studio is solving summer restlessness and day care needs with something better: eight weeks of dynamic and educational visual, performing, and language arts workshops from June 28 to Aug. 21, 2010, at the Bea Hive Dance Studio in Garden Grove, Calif.


The Bea Hive summer camps will assist each child in developing his or her own interests by presenting them with a diverse range of arts – most of which Owner Beatrix Dozier says are not being taught in public schools.


“Public schools no longer educate children in many of the arts, so we wanted to be a source where children can still learn about this important part of culture and be encouraged to explore their creative sides,” Dozier said.


Visual arts workshops will allow children to try their hand at sketching, drawing cartoons, doing special effects makeup, designing costumes, sewing, and more. Students will discover if they have a flair for the dramatic through the performing arts workshops focusing on music, theatre, Broadway, and various cultural styles of dancing including hip-hop, salsa and Latin dancing, Indian folk dancing, lyrical, contemporary, technique, and more. Finally, children can hone their language arts skills with one-hour reading and writing workshops every day.


“Our summer camps are different from regular day care programs in that they’re highly educational, energetic, and well-rounded,” said Program Director Brenda Huey.


Additionally, Dozier and Huey understand the tight budgets of families these days and will start planning a non-profit organization this month to allow children from low-income families to still participate in the various beneficial courses Bea Hive offers.


Registration for the summer camps is open to children ages 6 to 16. The program will culminate with a student showcase from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 21.


For more information, please contact Program Director Brenda Huey at (714) 638-5601 or visit http://beahiveballroom.com./


The Bea Hive Dance Studio and Event Ballroom is a family-owned business that provides dance lessons, summer day camps, performance teams and more for children 18 months to 16 years old.
