Winners of the J2 Juicer for Veterans Contest

We are Mayela, a Navy Gulf War Veteran, and my husband Sergio, a National Guard Iraq War Veteran. We are both very proud of the service to our wonderful country and feel it’s an important part of our life. The active lifestyle, sense of duty, and patriotism have continued to be important in our lives. About 10 years ago I began to feel really ill, I had horrible joint and back pain, I had difficulty getting out of bed, I was exhausted all the time and I started to get scared. I went to various doctors and they said things like possible lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. I was told I needed to be on a variety of medications.  I was ex-military. I ran 5ks and enjoyed working out. I had just turned 40;  I felt like I was 80. I couldn’t believe this was what 40 felt like. I was sure something was not right but I knew I did not want to be on medications at this age. It was then that my husband, who is 6 years older than me and in much greater shape, mentioned The Juice Lady.

He had originally started juicing before me but I was not a fan due to the mess he made! He said he had heard about you I believe on the radio and he mentioned how you healed yourself with juicing. I was ready to try it, mess and all. because I did not want to be on medication at 40!  He bought me one of your books and I started juicing. Later I did your online 30-day juice detox. I experienced great relief after the 30 days! I stopped going to my conventional doctor. I now go to a functional medicine doctor. I juice and work on my diet. I take high-quality supplements. Juicing turned my life around at 40. I was unable to pick up my baby nephew at 40 and now at 50, I have been enjoying the grandbaby with much energy! In addition, my adult daughter came back to live with me due to a covid vaccine injury. She was diagnosed with the paralysis disease called Guillain barre syndrome and was unable to care for herself. I went back to your books and have been working on detoxification for her and juicing. Her recovery has been slow but I am hopeful that with your juicing detox, the recommended supplements from your emails and a lot of prayers and perseverance my daughter can go back to an active lifestyle again. Needless to say, my juicer has had a lot of wear and tear over the past 10 years. Again, thank you for considering us for your giveaway. We are humbled and thankful for this blessing. ~ Mayela
