My name is Todd Patterson. I had Gulf War Syndrome and
was plagued with many symptoms. I had no ener-gy, was pale and swollen, and in terrible pain. I had often considered ending my life because the pain was unbearable. Janet and I have been friends for a while. She had been
trying to get me to Reno for quite some time to de-
tox my body.Finally convinced, I ar-
rived at the Circle of Life Spa for my first of many wraps, sauna sessions, and massages. I had some difficult and emotional periods as my body detoxed. Janet worked on changing my diet to encourage an alkaline en-vironment which promotes health and healing. Janet and Carla were right there supporting me through it all.
After 2 weeks, the 3 of us stood in the foyer of the spa hugging and crying as I prepared to go home, a healthy man. I never thought I would be pain free, yet here I stood feeling amazing. My swelling was gone and I looked vibrant be-cause I had color and energy. Most importantly, I no longer felt pain. I was a vision of health that none of us had seen in quite a while.
Today, my wife and I are adopting a baby girl from China. I can be the father I want to be be-cause I am healthy. I thank Janet and Carla for giving so much of themselves to help me heal.

“Organicisnotjust‘notdoing’,”Johnexplained“but‘doing’aswell.”

How to measure Success
I have learned over the years thatpeople around theworld identify eightfactorswithsuccess.Weallwanttobehappy, healthy, reasonably prosperousand secure, to have friends, peace ofmind,goodfamilyrelationshipsandhope
for the future. Successis personal.You can’tcompare your selfwithanyother individual,orrely on anyone else toachievesuccess.It’suptoyoutotakeeachstepupto the top. Remember,successisnotadestina-tionitisajourney.
