The mind is a Powerful tool which can be used to create. It
can give you pain or pleasure. You must be mindful and aware of the people you
are surrounded by. You have tendency, to take on the thoughts of those you are
in the presence of. What I mean by this is, you are influenced by the
intentions of others, if you are not constantly Focused on how you want your
day to go and the things you want in your future.
I read many different things. I read my bible and
inspirational books. I have found that the Law of Attraction has much truth,
however you must carefully study the components, in order for it to be
successful. You must also know exactly, what you want. It’s easy to become
distracted by others, if you are attentive to their conversation.
I have started to carefully pay attention to my thoughts
when I am alone and when I am in different environments. I observed my thoughts
in many places and see clearly that one must observe the level of intelligence,
character and intentions of others. I once found this to be strange, however I
am a Pastor and did ask to receive, wisdom, knowledge and understanding. One
must be careful of what they ask for. You just might get it.
I noticed when I am around artistic people, I flourish
artistically. I am a very creative person and have a love for poetry. I am also
aware, that when I am around those who have a love for politics, I seem to gravitate
more towards being an outspoken mouthpiece for justice. Either way, you must
learn to push out the senseless nothings of others and follow your own heart. I
imagine many have experienced this same thing and perhaps have mastered this
task.
There is a scripture, “As A Man Thinks so is he”, there are
also numerous sayings and books on this very subject, that give light to the
power of the mind. Many things we hear, we tend to think are untrue or foolish,
however I have found that this way of thinking is only because of the things we
were taught earlier in life. I have experienced many profound things, that
could sound unbelievable, to the Average Mind.
It is during times of uncertainty and positive thoughts,
that the laws of attraction seem to work best. It is by Faith that these Laws
are made manifest. You have to believe in something unseen, to become that
which you desire. I imagine no one wants to think they are less than they are,
however you must believe with all your heart that you can achieve that which
makes your heart melt.
I have found that during times of immense Joy, I have had
many miraculous things to happen.
You definitely have
to change the way you see life.

As one of our most distinguished products, Ionix® Supreme is a pillar product—and for good reason. Ionix consistently remains one of our most in-demand products thanks to its integrity.
Think of a maker of fine wine. As he cultivates his unique blend, he carefully ensures each part of the process is perfect. He cares for his vineyard, uses only the finest grapes, and spends thousands of hours developing the perfect blend. The result is something he can be proud of and is regarded by others as a premium product.
Ionix and its exclusive blend of Adaptogens, or natural botanicals, share a comparable story to that of the wine maker.
As with the varying origins of the grapes used to create wine, Adaptogens each emerge from different parts of the world. The result of choosing specific grapes for wine determines the flavor. This is the same for choosing Adaptogens, as each one has its own unique impact on the body. Where they are sourced and the quality of the raw materials make all the difference.
The thoughtful wine maker will ensure he uses the highest-quality grapes and soil and will perfect his mixing and aging process. Similarly, Isagenix chooses a specific blend of Adaptogens from the finest sources to create Ionix, thus ensuring the optimal benefit to the body. Like our other products, no-compromise quality is a necessity.
Our Founder John W. Anderson is the genius behind the proprietary blend in Ionix Supreme that is engineered using a multistep extraction process. These extracts from plant materials are standardized for the highest-quality and most effective blends. This is truly the key to the premium product that is Ionix Supreme.
“Ionix was created to serve as a foundation for overall health and wellness. As part of a complete nutritional system, Ionix is rich in minerals and supports the body’s everyday functions to provide balance and relief from stress.”—Jim Coover, Isagenix Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Time-Tested and Approved By Mother Nature
Adaptogens are natural botanicals that have unique characteristics that help your body combat stress, focus your mind, and elevate your daily performance.
Adaptogens develop naturally in plants that grow in harsh, cold, or windy conditions. Not only are these plants able to survive, but they are actually able to grow and thrive despite their extreme environments. The Adaptogens in these plants have significant effects in the human body. They have been used for centuries all over the world to improve health and are deemed as key components in stress reduction. From Northeastern Asia to India, North Africa, and the Middle East, Ionix Supreme leverages the work of ancient herbalists to create a superb product.
Ionix combines the power of Adaptogens, antioxidants, and nutrients to balance the body’s systems and strengthen its ability to fight and resist the effects of stress hormones, such as cortisol. Lower levels of stress help you recover faster, increase focus, and support overall energy.
Whole-Body Recovery
In short bursts, stress is needed for survival. Yet chronic stress, beyond necessary “flight or fight” moments, can have harmful effects in the body. In addition, permanently elevated levels of cortisol—chronic stress—can disturb the immune system and be toxic to the brain.
The blend of Adaptogens in Ionix has been scientifically shown to change the way the body reacts to stress and even improve focus and concentration. These Adaptogens benefit multiple body systems, including the neurological, endocrine, and immune systems.
The nutrient-rich botanical concentrate in Ionix combats the negative effects of physical, environmental, and life stressors while energizing cells to support faster recovery.
Physical Stress
Physical activity, no matter how positive the results, takes a toll on your body. Natural botanicals found in Ionix Supreme help support and elevate physical performance by normalizing the body’s systems.* The result: improved overall daily performance.
Consequently, Ionix is great for athletes as it counters the physical stress of exercise, allowing the body to recover more quickly while providing increased energy and stamina.*
Environmental Stress
We may not be able to control the environment, but we can help our bodies cope with the countless pollutants, chemicals, and oxidative toxins we face every day. The toxins in our environment can make us feel fatigued and sluggish. Often referred to as “nature’s answer to stress,” Ionix helps balance the body’s systems, creating a buffer from environmental toxins and strains. By priming your body every day with the Adaptogens found in Ionix, you can help counter these various forms of environmental stressors.
Life Stress
Busy lifestyles and a hectic workday can take their toll and cause a buildup of stress. In fact, according to the American Psychological Association, nearly 70 percent of Americans experience physical and mental symptoms of stress, but only 37 percent think they are doing very well at managing it. Many turn to substances such as alcohol or drugs to counter life’s stresses.
Ionix is a more productive way to counter these stressors while aiding your body’s natural systems to handle the stress we all experience on a daily basis. The unique blend of Adaptogens helps improve mental clarity so you can stay attentive, sharp, and focused.*
How to Enjoy Ionix
There are many ways to enjoy your daily Ionix. Here are just a few:
Poured over ice
Mixed with hot water to drink like tea
Added to IsaLean® PRO Shake
As a shot before bed
No matter how you choose to take your Ionix, you can be assured that it will support your body’s ongoing efforts to manage stress and help keep you on track.

Mary Hughes, my grandmother is a phenomenal woman. She has overcome
adversities and her adversaries. Mary had given birth to nine children and was
the victim of a gunshot wound near her heart. She survived and surpassed the
expectations, others had set for her.
She has shown me by example; strength, intelligence and the courage to
remain constant in her convictions.
Mary was born during an era of segregation. Her grandfather was a white
man and her grandmother was Cherokee Indian. Although her family was prominent
in the community and had financial status, she was viewed as a person of color.
She had to drop out of middle school, at the age of fourteen to raise a child.
Even as a victim of rape, her mother forced her to marry her attacker. The
eldest of three children, Mary had to set a good example. She was married to
Dennis and started her family. Even though she dropped out of school, she went
on to take the G.E.D test and scored 100%. She later said there was a dispute
with a white man about whom actually scored perfect on the test. It was said a
young white female scored highest, but that was found to be untrue.
Although she never went to a university, Mary went to culinary
school. Having a love and passion for
cooking; she worked for over thirty years at Vanderbilt University’s cafeteria.
She said “They absolutely loved my pies”. She had a way with people and knew
how to use her southern charm to put a smile on anyone’s face. It was hard to
work full-time and care for eight children, one died. Somehow it was a
challenge she surpassed. She even found the time to assist her eldest child
with her studies, working towards becoming a paralegal. The trials Mary had
faced in her early life, gave her insight to share with her daughter in her
legal studies. She watched her daughter graduate and assisted her in finding
employment; with civil rights attorney Avon Williams.
My grandfather was a very jealous man. He would regularly check with the
children to see if Mary came home on time. She said “living life with him, was
as if living as a prisoner in her own home”. There was never any time for her
to just relax, without providing for her husband or family. One day she decided
to get away after work. Hanging out with some female friends and going to the
salon; was not something she did on a regular basis. The time away, was like a
breath of fresh air. When she was on her way home from the salon, walking less
than a block from her house; her life flashed before her very eyes. She was
shot at point blank range, in the chest. To her surprise when she opened her
eyes after falling to the ground; it was her husband Dennis that shot her. She
said she remembered him saying in a gruesome voice, “I guess you just leaving
your boyfriend’s house”, then she lost consciousness.
Several days later, she has awakened in the hospital surrounded by her
husband and children. She said “it was an overwhelming feeling, to awake from
what I thought was the end of my life, to realize my husband had once again
hurt me.” The doctor said the bullet was less than an inch from her heart, and
she was lucky to be alive. A few more days had passed, and she was greeted by
the police. There was a frightening appearance, on the face of the officer.
Having a deep baritone voice, he asked “Did you see who shot you?” Without any
hesitation and her heart beating as fast as a locomotive, she responded, “My Husband.”
At that moment she knew her life was about to change, yet again. A week later
she was released to home, her husband in jail and Marys’ mother had to help
provide for her grandchildren. It was three years before my grandfather was
released from prison.
My grandfather came home after his release. Mary welcomed him with open
arms. Even though he was abusive and had mistreated her for many years; her
convictions remained constant. The family was back together, nevertheless it
was still not perfect. Daily there were arguments and fighting. She had to find
solace in prayer, to escape his abuse. Bessie (Marys’ mom) developed a hatred
for my grandfather over the years. She told her daughter, “I wish I had never
made you marry that devilishly evil man.” Mary said “it was the hand I was
dealt.” She refused to give up on her family.
Mary remained married to Dennis for 43 years, before he died. She has
always said “I am at peace now.” There have been many nights she had
nightmares, about the things her husband subjected her to. Yet she still has
shown resilience and never regretful of her choice to keep her family together.
To this very day, she remains a woman of faith and has always inspired many
people. In her younger years she had suffered numerous nervous breakdowns, but
has always been faithful. Every time I see her she smiles. I ask her, “Do you smile
because you are happy?” She always replies, “From where I was to where I am,
there is no greater joy than the afflictions that I have overcome. It is joy
that makes me smile and my faith is always in my father, Amen.” I admire my
grandmother not only for her strength’s; but all the things she has overcome. I
will gladly tell the world, I am her biggest admirer.
The resilience she has always
shown me, makes me desire to be a better woman.
For every bad thing I've done or received
Forgiveness I give
It's retained freely
To love one another
Creation knows this is true
Love thy brother if he doesn't love you
This thing we call love
Can also turn to hate
Contribution to humanity
Freedom in debates
If you confront one another
Let words spoken be true
LaTrice so loved the world
With my words
Let them now love me too
She made me smile
She made me laugh
She's now with God
She's home at last
She gave me direction
She taught me not to hate
She taught me virtue
She taught me faith
She gave me the word
She made me promise to outlast
She made me promise to never give up
She taught me not to hate
She taught me always be you
She taught me talent to not waste
She taught me to believe in myself
She taught me to love God
She taught me to walk in faith

A living will serves many purposes. It is a written statement detailing a person's desires regarding their medical treatment in circumstances in which they are no longer able to express informed consent, especially an advance directive.
A written document that allows a patient to give explicit instructions about medical treatment to be administered
when the patient is terminally ill or permanently unconscious; also called an advance directive.
With improvements in modern medicine, the life of persons who are terminally ill or permanently unconscious can be prolonged. For increasing numbers of persons, the decision of whether to prolong life is being made in the form of a written document called a living will. The
living will is one type of advance directive that may be used by a person before incapacitation to outline a full range of treatment preferences or, most often, to reject treatment.
A living will extends the principle of consent, whereby patients must agree to any medical intervention before doctors can proceed. It allows the patient to guide health care for the future when she may be too ill to make decisions concerning care. It can be revoked by the patient at any time. For
many the living will preserves personal control and eases the decision-making burden of a family.
Forty-two states and the District of Columbia have living-will statutes that make a properly executed living will legally binding. In states that do not have a
statute, living wills stand as a clear expression of the patient's wishes. Living-will statutes require that the person be legally competent to execute the will and that the will be witnessed by at least one disinterested person. Once a person who has a valid living will is terminally ill, the attending
physician and a second physician must certify in writing that there is no reasonable expectation for improvement in the patient's condition and that death will occur as a result of the incurable disease,
illness, or injury.
Upon this certification the doctor is obligated to follow the instructions contained in the living will. This typically
means the patient does not want any medical procedures that serve only to prolong but not prevent the dying process. Therefore, if the patient is unable to breathe, the doctor is not
required to connect the patient to a respirator. A patient may state in a living will that he does not want a feeding tube if unable to swallow food. Another common
directive is to forbid resuscitation if the patient's heart stops beating.
Living wills have been criticized because they are usually limited to the withholding or withdrawing of "life-sustaining" procedures from a patient with a "terminal condition" or "terminal illness," and thus do not accurately reflect the broad legal right to refuse treatment. In addition, by their very nature, living wills reduce the patient's wishes to writing, and thus may be too rigid (or too vague) to adapt to changing interests or anticipate future circumstances.
To overcome these problems, many states have enacted statutes that permit a competent adult to
designate a surrogate decision maker (also termed a health care proxy or agent) to make health care decisions for her in the event of incapacitation. The proxy's authority is usually not limited to
decisions about life-sustaining treatment. A proxy can supplement a living will.
All fifty states have durable-power-of-attorney statutes that permit an individual (the principal) to designate another person (the attorney in fact) to perform specific tasks during any period of incapacity. Though most of these statutes do not expressly refer to medical care decisions, no court has ruled that
they preclude the delegation of medical decision-making authority to the attorney in fact.
