A bit more about me...

Before I start telling you more about what 4 life's Transfer Factors does for me, let me tell you a bit more about myself. I'm 38, divorced, and live with my mom (All that isn't relevant except for my age. The rest is self promotion). My family, my mom and dad that is, has a history of diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. As all these are hereditary health problems, sooner or later, I'll probably get one of them.

Apart from having a high risk of getting these health problems, I also tend to add to the risk by some of the things I do and don't do. First of all, I'm a smoker. I have been one for the last 27 years. I started when I was 11 (I wasn't a serious smoker then) and for the last 15 years or so, I've been on 2 packs per day. I was on 3 packs per day at one point in my life, but that was only for a period of 2 years.

Besides being a smoker, I also tend to-indulge myself when it comes to eating. I eat almost everything. I don't count calories, I don't refrain myself from eating too much, I eat high cholesterol foods, everything. (At point of writing, I just finished stuffing my face with a french toast with peanut butter on the inside and drenched in butter and honey).

I also have a sweet tooth, which isn't very good since I do have a high sugar level. Whenever I go for a buffet lunch, most of my trips to the buffet table would be for dessert. Only one trip would be for th main meal, and the rest would be for anything sweet. I also have an addiction to caffeine. I consume about 8 cups of coffee per day (I have cut it down to about 4 right now).

Apart from these potential problems which I am creating myself, I also have problems sleeping at night. This started since my divorce 4 years ago. I currently get about 4 or 5 hours sleep per night every night. So I don't get enough rest.

Any other person, given these circumstances, would probably exercise more to maintain some semblance of health. Not me. Over the last 15 years, I've never been to a gym, and I can count with my fingers the number of times I've gone jogging. However, recently, I've taken up walking up hills at the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia forest reserve here in Kuala Lumpur as a form of exercise. It's a pretty steep climb and quite long so I do get a decent workout out of it.

So that's most of what I can tell you about the present me. The future me, well lets see how 4life's Transfer Factors works for me.

Why I decided to start...

I first heard about Transfer Factors quite a while ago when I was exploring the internet trying to venture into internet marketing. That was about 8 months ago and my internet marketing venture never took off. It started well, but then dwindled for a couple of months and then completely died about 2 months later.

After going through the experience of watching something I spent months trying to build go down the drain, I wasn't that keen on starting anything new. But then my friend, Juliana Idris introduced me to Transfer Factors about three weeks ago. She was very passionate about Transfer Factors, promoting it on every social networking site she has joined. She was also very persistent, so I agreed to give it a try.

You see, Juliana has known me for well over a year. When we first met, my weight was about 78 kilos. The first few months of knowing her, I didn't really have any health problems. But when I started to venture into internet marketing 8 months ago, I started to lose weight, rapidly. Within the space of a couple of months, I lost about 8 kilos. I continued to lose weight. About 2 months ago, my weight dropped to 68 kilos.

Now under any other circumstances, I'd be very happy at losing all that weight. The last time I was 68 kilos was when I left high school. But now, 20 years later, I'm back to that weight. To cut the story short, one day, my dad bought this portable tester that can check the sugar level in your blood. Since I was losing all this weight, he asked me to give it a try and check my sugar level. The result was I had a reading of 22.8. Normal would be below 7.0.


So I had a very high sugar level in my blood. Time to cut down on the sweets. Cutting down on my sugar intake was pretty easy. Together with prescribed medication, I managed to bring my sugar level to 6.9. So as long as I didn't increase my sugar intake, I should be fine. But then I started wondering, how much longer am I going to have to drink bitter coffee?

When Juliana told me about Transfer Factors and its ability to control diabetes. I thought I'll give it a try. The product she gave me was 4life Transfer Factors. I've been taking them for about 2 weeks now and next week, I'm going to check my sugar level again. Hope for the best.

The first two photos of me were taken over a year ago. I weighed 78 kg then. The last two, which is of me and my niece were taken quite recently. The first being a few weeks ago and the other a couple of months ago. By then I had already lost 10 kilos. I lost all this weight due to the high sugar level in my blood. Time to put a stop to that.
