A BUSY AND EXHILARATING TIME

As I look back at recent months, I do not remember having been so busy in a long time. While travelingtwice around the world, somehow -- with the close collaboration of key people -- I managed to complete thewriting of two books, one just published and the other soon to be published. At the same time, we developedthe StemSPORT concept, and we are preparing to gather more data on the effect of StemEnhance andStemFLO on physical performance. Currently, we are writing reports on three studies on the benefits ofStemEnhance and StemFLO. Most of this work has happened during the past four months! It has been awork load that has been exhausting and exhilarating.

The next six months promise as much activity, and perhaps even more! Many projects are underway toprofoundly affect the marketplace and your ability to share STEMTech with people everywhere. We areworking everyday to make our message clear and powerful: STEMTech offers the most effective approach forthe maintenance of optimal health. Soon we will reveal more about the global approach we are developing.Build your strong organization now and be ready to ride the STEMTech wave around the world!

We are all thrilled about the publication of The Stem Cell Theory of Renewal, because it will help you toexplain the solid science behind StemEnhance. If you can travel to the States in late January or early February,I hope you will join Bryan Noar and me on one of our first round of Book Tour stops; and I look forward toseeing you at our Convention in April.

Very best,

Christian Drapeau Chief Science Officer

2 HEALTHSPAN CANADA winter 2008-2009

But the formation of fibrin in itself is just one step in this complexmulti-step process, and without the full activation of thecoagulation cascade, the formation of fibrin does not lead to full

blood clot. It simply leads to the presence of free-flowing fibrin mesh inthe blood. This is what happens when there is oxidative stress in theblood. Free radicals in the blood lead to the formation of fibrin meshwhose size can at times impair optimal blood flow. Fibrin mesh canreduce blood flow through capillaries and prevent the circulation ofstem cells in certain areas of the body, depriving these areas of thenatural process of renewal. Therefore, the two mainstrategies to support stem cell delivery to every tissueof the body are to eliminate the presence of fibrinmesh and to prevent its formation when it is notneeded to repair an injury. To do so, we havecreated StemFLO, a blend of fibrinolyticenzymes (fibrinolytic: that cuts fibrin) andpowerful antioxidants.

Because many products exist on themarketplace designed to increase the fibrinolyticactivity of the blood and to provide strong antioxidant properties,our mission with StemFLO was to search for the best qualityavailable, and that’s what we did. Most antioxidants are tested usinga laboratory procedure that measures antioxidant capacity in a testtube, not in a living cell. These tests provide interesting information,but the results do not say anything about the effect of a specificantioxidant in the body, where it matters. So we used a novel assaycalled CAPe (Cell-based Antioxidant Protection in erythrocytes),and equipped with this assay during nearly three years we searchedfor the most effective ingredients available.

We discovered a unique location in Southeast Asia and developeda relationship with a farm that produces the top quality mangosteencrop, the only organically certified mangosteen available. When testedagainst some of the most popular sources of mangosteen on themarketplace, our source tested up to twenty times more potent.Likewise, we tested several sources of cat’s claw, one of the most

powerful antioxidant herbs available, and found the one withthe most potent antioxidant and immune-supporting

properties. Finally, working in collaboration with scientistsin the field of berries and polyphenols, we developed aberry extract that provides one of the highestconcentrations of polyphenols so far tested. And wecompleted this formula with curcumin and rehmannia,

two botanical ingredients that are not yet generally knownby most people, but that are very well known in herbal sciences

for their antioxidant properties and their ability to help purify the bloodand support optimal blood circulation.

What is novel in the StemFLO formula is the blend of powerfulantioxidant and fibrinolytic properties, aiming at supporting optimalblood flow in the capillaries to optimize stem cell delivery to everytissue of the body. The novelty of this approach is such that a patenthas been filed on StemFLO, concentrating on the physiological effectof blending together strong antioxidant and fibrinolytic botanicalingredients.

Now, this is all good theory, but how can we determine whetherStemFLO effectively improves blood circulation in the body? Thereare many tests to measure blood circulation, but only one that caneffectively measure circulation in the capillaries, the smallest bloodvessels where stem cell migration takes place.

StemFLO was designed essentially to dotwo things to promote optimal blood flowand circulation of stem cells in the body: 1 To reduce existing fibrin in the blood; and 2 To prevent the formation of fibrin.

Introducing a Patent-Pending Novel Formula toOptimize Stem CellCirculation

Fibrin is a molecule normally produced in the blood as part of the coagulation process, to stop blood

flow after an injury. During an injury, the damaged tissue activates a complex multi-step process

leading to the formation of fibrin and then the cross-linking of fibrin strands to form the final blood clot.

Reprinted from HealthSpan, Volume 3, Number 1.


One of the blood’s main roles is to carry oxygen to every part ofthe body. The network of capillaries is so extensive that most tissuecells lay within 3-4 cells from a capillary. When there is optimal bloodcirculation, the delivery of oxygen is plenty and oxygen diffusesthrough the tissue. It is possible to monitor this phenomenon bymeasuring the amount of oxygen released through the skin by thecapillaries located in the superficial layers of the skin. However, whenoxygen delivery is impaired by reduced blood flow through thecapillaries, the level of trans-cutaneous oxygen can fall significantly.Therefore, we measured the amount of oxygen released through theskin before and after consumption of StemFLO

When an individual lies down and rests, the lack of movementslowly reduces the amount of blood flowing through the skin, and thereis a normal reduction in trans-cutaneous oxygen (as the blue line showsin the graph). When StemFLO is given to individuals, within twentyminutes there is a reversal of that phenomenon, indicating an improvedblood circulation through capillaries. By digesting fibrin in the bloodand preventing fibrin formation, StemFLO promotes optimal capillarycirculation throughout the body.

So what is the best way of taking StemFLO? It is important notto take StemFLO at mealtime. When StemFLO is taken with ameal, the enzymes would be somewhat consumed during the processof digestion. It is also important to take StemFLO along withStemEnhanceTM, so that the stem cells released from the bone marrowcan best take advantage of the improved capillary circulationthroughout the body. If a person wants to take additional StemFLOto further improve blood circulation, it is probably better to take itmore often during the day than to take more capsules at once.

Measuring the level of oxygen that permeates through the skin is anaccurate way of estimating capillary blood flow. Upon lying down, it isnormal to see the level of trans-cutaneous oxygen decrease (blue line).In this situation, any change in capillary flow can be detected as anincrease in trans-cutaneous oxygen release. Within minutes afterconsumption of StemFlo, capillary flow is significantly improved (redline). Lines represent the average of three tests in one individual.

Blood coagulation can be triggered by irregularities in thecardiovascular system (intrinsic system; top left) or by actual injuriesto tissues (extrinsic system; top right). Both systems lead to theactivation of a series of compounds whose common end point is thetransformation of prothrombin into thrombin, and then thetransformation by thrombin of fibrinogen into fibrin mesh. During thenormal coagulation proces, the formation of thrombin also triggersthe cross-linking of fibrin to complete the formation of the blood clot.When fibrinogen is transformed into fibrin mesh by the action of freeradicals, this isolated process does not lead to full blood clot butsimply to soluble fibrin mesh floating in the circulation.

“When a tissue or blood vesselis damaged, the coagulationprocess leads to the formationof fibrin mesh at the site of theinjury. The fibrin mesh capturesred and white blood cells,forming a plug that stops theblood loss from the bloodvessel.”

“With excessive oxidative stressin the blood, fibrin mesh candevelop in the bloodstream,without injury, and impair optimalblood flow.”

StemSPORTTM is our trademarked, unique regimen for activepeople, which uses StemEnhanceTM and StemFLOTM, taken

together, to support improved performance and shortened recoverytime. Now we introduce the StemSPORT Brochure, a professionallydesigned, effective tool to grow your STEMTech business with activepeople! This brochure is bold, vibrant and strong. It compels people toopen it, read it and use it everyday.

Inside there is vital information for all active people - from the eliteathlete to the person whose activity is primarily recreational. For everyactive person, this brochure concisely summarizes valuable informationabout performance levels, the body's reaction to exercise and theimportance of reducing recovery time.

The topics of reducing recovery time and assisting our body'snatural renewal system, as well as the nutritional benefits ofStemSPORT, are all captured in simple, easy-to-read points within thebrochure. There is also a compelling graph summarizing the landmarkStemEnhance study published in the Journal of CardiovascularRevascularization Medicine, showing what happens to the number ofcirculating stem cells. Also included, you'll find powerful testimonialsfrom world-class athletes and other active people, as well as clear andconcise bullet points about both StemEnhance and StemFLO.

So now that you are ready to go with the StemSPORT brochure…What's next?

First, remember this: Fit and healthy people are generally veryreceptive to trying a new, proven product, much moreso than peoplewho are not fit and healthy. If you encounter people who look fit, active,healthy, and vibrant, do not shy away from them! Often they say, “Yes,I will try it.”

Always have the StemSPORT brochures with you - in your car,

pocket, purse, at your desk, in your briefcase… everywhere. Then go outand share. Here are some great spots for your StemSPORT brochures: • Health Clubs and Gyms (Talk to management to learn if

there is an area where you can display them.)• Sporting Events (Call the organizers and ask to display

them in a booth or on a table. Then be there to talk about the product.)

Mandy NewtonSapphire DirectorSaskatchewan

Three years ago, MandyNewton was running a

natural health clinic inCalgary, where clients camefor body imagingservices with the CRT2000, a sophisticatedthermograph system.STEMTech Double

Diamond Edward Soltys was a friend andclient of Mandy’s. “Edward introduced me toStemEnhanceTM, which had only been on themarket for a few months,” she says, “and Iagreed to try it, testing it on myself.” Whenshe began experiencing good results, Mandysigned on with the Pro-Retailer's Pack.

Mandy looked to StemEnhance tosupport her body's return to optimal health,“and after that,” she says, “I was looking for themaintenance of optimal health.” In threeyears, Mandy says that StemEnhance hasdelivered on its promise: “My health hasreturned, my energy levels are up, and I amable to function so much better each day,” shesays, “thanks to StemEnhance.”

Recently relocating her business toSaskatoon, Mandy is busier than ever. Withlittle extra time to handle the details of hergrowing STEMTech business, she is verypleased with the level of service she enjoysfrom the new Richmond office staff.“Distributor Services reps are very efficient andresponsive,” she explains, “and our commissionchecks come promptly. Service is veryreliable.”

Because she keeps a good supply ofStemEnhance on display, most peoplepurchase their first bottle at retail from Mandy.“I tell everyone that they can save money by

becoming a Distributor,” she says, explainingthat she offers options. “Many people choosethe FastStart Pack and AutoShip,” she says,“because it is such a good value.”

Nadine StoikoffSapphire DirectorOntario

As manager of ahealth food store,

Nadine is in the perfectspot to keep track ofthe results her store'scustomers are havingwith StemEnhance.Ever since she boughther first bottle at retail

from two of her trusted suppliers of nutritionalsupplements two years ago, Nadine has beensold on StemEnhance, and so have hercustomers.

Stories of exceptional results come in almostdaily, Nadine says. A good example is the FireCaptain who injured his shoulder as a youngfirefighter, and had tried just about everythingfor 22 years for relief… all unsuccessfully.Nadine suggested StemEnhance. “Threeweeks later,” she says, “he told me he haddoubled his lifting weight at the gym. Twoweeks later, he came to our meeting and did aone-arm push-up with his 'bad' arm!”

Nadine herself has a StemEnhance story totell: At 58, she had begun to have somedifficulty stooping to stock the store’s lowershelves. Since StemEnhance, she can kneel andstoop easily to stock product, and she looksforward eagerly to adding StemFLOTM to herinventory. Nadine and her customers agree:“We can't wait for this wonderful complementto StemEnhance!”

Nadine was thrilled to meet native sonChristian Drapeau at the Toronto meeting ofthe Cross-Country Tour. “I felt his sincerity,”she says. “He is a true scientist, and weCanadians are so proud of him!” Nadine isgrateful for the friendship and support ofMaryAnne Robertson, who helps her put onmonthly opportunity meetings. “People hearabout StemEnhance by word-of-mouth,” shesays, “and they come to hear about our nativeson's groundbreaking discovery that helps somany people!”

Katherine WinklerRuby DirectorManitoba

When ViolaToews called

her in October,2006, Katherinewas in the midst ofa serious healthchallenge and faceda very uncertain

future. Intrigued by what Viola sharedabout StemEnhance science, Katherinewatched Christian Drapeau's video, listenedto several conference calls, and she says, “Iwas sold on it right away.” She bought abottle from Viola, enrolled FastStart, and“went full-force with StemEnhance.” Soonshe realized that her health was returning.At her six-month check-up, her doctor wasamazed. “Now, two years later,” Katherinesays, “my health is back, nearly 100%!”

Retired after a career in real estate salesand working as a deli clerk, Katherine saysshe likes to be with people, so she has notrouble talking to folks about StemEnhance.“My relatives and friends can see how my

health has improved,” she says, “and they askwhat I'm doing. I tell them StemEnhance!”At the Director Leadership Conference inAugust Katherine learned that it isimportant to offer the benefit of optimalhealth to everyone in her acquaintance, andnot to pre-judge. “I don't want to countanyone out,” she says. “Everyone deserves tofeel as good as I do!”

Katherine and her husband Otto, aretired carpenter, are happy that theirincome from STEMTech has allowed themto make significant charitable donations.While they support a missionary in Indiawho maintains a school for poor childrenand help provide services for local homelesspeople, Katherine looks ahead to when theycan increase their monthly donationssignificantly: “We feed ten children eachmonth now,” Katherine says, “but we wantto do more.”

As many North Americans readiedthemselves at the beginning of

December to brave frosty temperatures andwintry weather, nearly two dozen ofSTEMTech's most accomplished FieldLeaders headed off for the vacation of alifetime, spending a week with topSTEMTech executives at the luxuriousFiesta Americana Hotel in sunny, tropicalCancun, Mexico. It was a weeklong banquetfor the five senses, as everyone played, feastedand explored, taking full advantage of thebusy schedule of fun activities… while alsospending lots of time relaxing and sharingmoments and valuable ideas with old andnew friends.

Here are some highlights, compiled from the“postcards” we received from Cancun… • Fabulous, inspiring and

unforgettable… what a week! • The Fiesta Americana is amazing…

beautiful, with unmatched service. We were treated like royalty all week.

• Delicious food and desserts (We all gained a few pounds!)

• Lots of activity: football on the beach, volleyball in the pool… Contests and dancing at Senor Frog's were such fun! (To George and Donna, all we can say is: What happens in Cancun stays in Cancun!)

• Our trip to the ruins at Tulum took us into Mexico's rich history. We could feel a part of the culture from so long ago.

• All week we let our “inner child” come out and play… Waverunners flying over the waves, the sailboat near-sinking that threw poor Bruce overboard, the squirt-gun “fight” on the boat, the swim with the dolphins, the dolphin ride and the foot push (a thrill – how high we flew!)… All were fabulous!

• Special… both quantity and quality of time shared with our peers, Ray and Christian and STEMTech executives.

We arrived as individuals and left as good friends.

• Jonathan's fellowship time brought spiritual bonding and a renewed sense of purpose to those of us with similar backgrounds.

• Workshops on the beach… just perfect! The stories we all shared brought us together as never before. Creative team activities were awesome… Working together, we fit our whole team on a 2x3-foot mat and carried a raw egg down the beach, head-to-head. (Not easy to do.)

Everyone returned home from Cancunwith a renewed commitment to personalgoals and an enhanced dedication tobuilding successful teams. Each looksforward to returning for Diamond DreamGetAway 2009, this time with many oftheir team members making the trip withthem. As Lena Schultz says, “Everyone hasthe potential to achieve dreams and makethis trip a reality.” Dr. Enrique Martinezagrees, adding, “This is a great company,which rewards your efforts with a contestfor every occasion. Make sure you takeadvantage of all these opportunities, and wewill share our enjoyment of 'the beaches ofthe world.'”

BOOK PUBLISHEDSTEM CELL

The Stem CellTheory

of Renewalby Christian Drapeau

By 2005, much information had already been published inscientific literature describing the role of stem cells in the

body. But as I traveled from city to city within the UnitedStates and then abroad -- also continuing my scientific research,product development and networking with the scientificcommunity -- this book ended up taking the back seat. Yet theimportance of publishing it always stayed in the back of mymind, because this book would be a powerful tool to reach alarge number of people.

In summer of 2008, I realized that the perfect time to writethis book would never present itself, and I simply had to maketime for it. So as I traveled over the past few months, I broughtwith me all I needed to work on the book and took advantageof every moment to make progress.

While reviewing all the early literature and all the notes Ihad taken since the beginning, I was suddenly overwhelmedwhen I realized something I had “forgotten” to some extent: In2000 and 2001, when we first formulated the theory that stem cellsconstituted the body's natural renewal system, we could find hardlyanyone who understood enough to look seriously at our concept.But as time passed and more studies confirmed our views, the senseof novelty slowly vanished as we became more closely involved withthe technical aspects of the phenomenon. Because all thishappened so gradually, I had “forgotten” the magnitude of thediscovery that we had made! Returning to the early scientificliterature and reconstructing the story of stem cell research and thediscovery of the role of stem cells in the body brought back thatsense of awe and humility we felt then, as we directly contributedto one of the biggest advances in the history of health sciences.

As I worked on this book, it became clear to me quickly that weneeded to provide two editions of the story: one edition needed to

contain all the details and scientificreferences associated with the discovery,and one shorter and simplified edition thathad to allow readers to understand thebasics of the natural renewal systemquickly. While the more detailed edition isstill in progress, the shorter and simplifiededition will be available in January 2009.Following publication of the booklet,entitled The Stem Cell Theory of Renewal,I will go back on the road within theUnited States, introducing the booklet topeople all across the country. For mepersonally, this “book tour” is a return tomy scientific roots. After delving againinto all the scientific information as I

wrote this booklet, my main desire is to return to the core messageof it all: our scientific breakthrough in stem cell research is nothingless than the most significant discovery of our time! The discoveryof the role of adult stem cells in the body profoundly changes theway we look at health and wellness. These days, an increasingnumber of studies report how a higher number of circulating stemcells promotes greater health and wellness. It is now becoming apart of mainstream scientific thought: Increasing the number ofcirculating stem cells in your blood could be the best strategy tohelp your body maintain optimal health.

I am pleased to have the story of our research set down inwriting at last for all of you, and I look forward to meetingyou this year as I travel around North America. The Stem CellTheory of Renewal tells a story that the world desperatelyneeds to hear… I hope you will help us spread the word.

Three years ago, as we were preparing to launch STEMTech, I hadbegun work on a book about the role of stem cells in the body andwhat we had gradually come to call the “natural renewal system” ofthe body.

In summer of2008, I realizedthat the perfect

time to writethis book would

never presentitself, and

I simply had to make time

for it.

Excerpt from

The Stem CellTheory of Renewal:When scientists began injectingfluorescent stem cells in irradiated animals- a treatment that kills all stem cells in thebody - soon thereafter fluorescent tissuecells began to appear in various tissues.But more important, if an injury wasapplied to any specific tissue, the area ofthe injury would soon begin to displaysignificant amounts of fluorescence. The injured area was being filled with newfunctional specialized cells of that tissue,but the cells were fluorescent, indicatingthat they came from the bone marrow. A process that until then had beenvirtually invisible suddenly became visible- a discovery that is changing the way inwhich we view biological science!

Leslie BrownOntario

A successful networkmarketer “years ago,”Leslie says, “When you'vehad success in networking,people always call youabout new opportunities.”She had not found anybusiness opportunities enticing,however, until Patricia Pastorcalled about StemEnhanceTM. ToLeslie, this product sounded“new, powerful and life-changing,” and might just be thehealth answer she had beenseeking since a serious accident in1998 crushed her leg. “It hasbeen so hard to walk, because Ihave a bad knee and bone-on-bone in my ankle,” she explains.

After watching theStemEnhance DVDand listening in on aconference call, whatshe saw and heardconvinced Lesliethat StemEnhanceis truly a scientificbreakthrough, andshe needed to try it.

With StemEnhance, Leslie'sresults were nothing short ofremarkable. “In January, myknee bend measurement was at75%,” she says. “By September,I had full range of movement.”Her doctor was stunned. Whileshe still limps, Leslie notes thather ankle is improving… andthat her limp provides anopportunity: “When people askabout my limp, I tell them how

StemEnhance has helped me,and they want to learn more. Ifyou have a personal experiencethat comes from the heart,people understand yoursincerity.”

Leslie is grateful for the“wonderful help andsupport ” she has receivedfrom Patricia, and says sheloves the tools STEMTechprovides, particularly the five-minute and twelve-minuteDVDs, which are“outstanding.” Looking forwardto her second STEMTechConvention next April, Leslieexpects to be impressed asshe was in 2008. She says,“STEMTech people arespecial: We're all part of acause to help others.”

Maureen GillenBritish Columbia

Maureen's sister, DianneMantei, was heading south tothe Director LeadershipConference and needed a travelbuddy, so Maureen was happyto oblige. A busy Mom with ajob in retail, who also workswith her husband in theirdriving school, Maureenenjoyed the weekend in DanaPoint, where she met “a lot ofwonderful people” and learnedabout StemEnhance and theSTEMTech opportunity.

Once back in Canada,with a brand-new DirectorLeadership Pak and lots ofinformation from the DLC,Maureen got busy buildingher business. She attendedCross-Canada Tour meetingsin Vancouver and Calgary, and

says, “I feel blessed that I hadthe opportunity to hear fromRay, Christian, George andDonna three times when I wasjust starting out!” At home,she uses WealthBuildersregularly, and hands outBreakthroughs in WellnessCDs, brochures and YourBusiness at Home magazineto introduce STEMTech toprospects. She is lookingforward to attending theJanuary DLC as a SeniorDirector, and expects to go tothe Convention “for free!”

Maureen is passionateabout the power ofStemEnhance, pointing to herown family's results as livingproof: Since StemEnhance,she can drive for longdistances without crampingacross her shoulders, theburning sensation in her hip is

gone, and she can no longerfind a troublesome cyst thathad been at the base of herspine. Her 21-year-old sonRyan, who plays hockey in theJunior Major League, nolonger complains of kneeproblems and always feelingtired -- “except when heforgets to take hisStemEnhance,” his Momnotes. “If he forgets, in a fewdays his problems are back!”

Gabriel Ouellet Quebec

A veteran of thirty years innetwork marketing, Gabriel says he isactually “retired” after building asuccessful business with products forthe health care industry. So he wasnot in the market for a businessopportunity when his personalphysician told him aboutStemEnhanceTM. “I am in goodhealth,” Gabriel says, “but I haveworked in the health business formore than twelve years, so I knowthat this product is revolutionary.” Hesigned on with the DirectorLeadership Pack and began building

a business.“When it

comes tomaintaining ahealthy body,StemEnhanceis like the

cherry on the sundae,” Gabriel says,explaining that he asks people, “Areyou in good health? Do you want tostay that way for a long time? Thenlet StemEnhance help to regenerateyour body every day. There is nothingbetter than a life that is like a sundaewith a cherry on top!”

Gabriel makes good use ofSTEMTech Canada's Frenchwebsite and the StemEnhance DVD

in French. “Many people signed upwith me because of that DVD,” hesays. Many people want to tryStemEnhance before enrolling, henotes, because, “With so manyproducts on the market, people wantto know that this one works.”Gabriel shares StemEnhance withpassion and enthusiasm, but also“sharpens the saw,” which isAbraham Lincoln's metaphor aboutpreparing for success. He advises hisnew Distributors to follow his lead:“I first set my goals,” he says, “then Iprepare the best way to spread thenews, and then make a plan ofaction. With this 'sharp saw,' mysuccess is certain.”

Doug Rue & Wanda Simmons Alberta

When his uncle Ken Jespersenreturned from a trip to Phoenix, Dougsaw that Ken was walking better and hehad mobility in a shoulder that had beengiving him trouble for years. “He toldme he was taking StemEnhance,”Doug says, “so I thought I'd better getWanda on the product.” Doug's wife,Wanda, had suffered for years from anumber of health challenges. “Her bodywas so compromised,” Doug explains,“that she caught everything. She hadno strength, no energy, her eyesight wasfailing, her knees were bad… There

were so many things wrong with herthat she had lost the joy of living.”

Over the next month, as Uncle Kenshowed off his new running ability, withStemEnhance Wanda was able tofunction again, even first thing in themorning. It was then that Doug, still alittle skeptical, decided to tryStemEnhance himself. The owner of amoving company, Doug had “destroyed”his knees in a fall off a five-ton truck

awhile back, so he'd reassigned himself tooffice work. His active life changed: “Nomore two-stepping, no more golf,” hesays, sadly, “and I went up steps carefully,one at a time.” After three months onStemEnhance, all skepticism vanished.“My knees are fine… I run up the stairsnow, and I'm back on the dancefloor and golf course!” Dougsigned up with the FastStart Packand began sharing the news aboutStemEnhance.

Wanda's results continue toamaze them both. “She's lost somuch weight and is feeling so great,”Doug says, “that she's buying a wholenew wardrobe for the JanuaryDLC!”

Adeline WarkentinManitoba

It is no secret that farming is hardwork, and it's even harder when you doall the work yourselves, as Adeline andDon Warkentin do. That is why thesituation was rather dire when Don'sphysical condition deteriorated in spring,2008. “He was trying to work with themachinery,” Adeline remembers, “and Ifound him lying on the grass. He was soweak. He had nothing else to give.”Already living with only one kidney, Donwas in serious danger. Adeline knew shehad to do something.

About then,Adeline met ViolaToews at an Ag Fair,and listened to Viola'spowerful personalstory. She brought abottle of StemEnhance

home for Don. “What did we haveto lose?” she says.

Six months later, Don was a “newman.” When their adult children visited,Adeline says, “They said Dad just looksbetter.” He was feeling better, too… backon the job with enough energy for a hardday's work. And he received a clean bill ofhealth at his annual check-up!

Adeline describes herself as “notoutgoing”; nevertheless, at Viola's urging,she “stepped out into space,” takingStemEnhance brochures and hand-written meeting invitations to herneighbors. “Viola drove seven hours to dothe meeting, Adeline says, gratefully, notingthat Viola's expertise as a registered nurselent credibility to their presentation. Thirtypeople attended, and several people signedup. “It was very encouraging,” Adeline says.

At the Winnipeg Cross-Canada Tourmeeting, Adeline was moved by thetestimonials. She says, “It is a privilege to shareStemEnhance with my friends andneighbors. We can help so many people!”
