Product Spotlight
The Trump Network (www.trumpnetwork.com/lostandfoundinc) has a personal metabolic test called the PrivaTest. This multi test kit measures urine and saliva (depending on test) to determine which vitamins and minerals your body most needs to improve its metabolic functioning. The Stress Test uses saliva to measure your body’s response to stress. There are additional tests that provide feedback for weight loss, cancer prevention for women, osteoporosis, and allergies. The tests allow the labs to formulate supplements that are specific to your needs based on the results of your lab work. Many people take supplements just because they read people need them. Others take supplements based on symptoms. This test will allow you to take only what your body actually needs. Tests are done in the privacy of your home with all results sent directly to you.
Cost of the initial Privatest is $139.
The stress test, if taken at the same time as the basic test, is $84.95. These costs are significantly lower than you would normally pay in a doctor’s office.
Bio Cleanse is a highly ionized foot bath that removes toxins from the body contributing to poor physical and emotional health.

You will enjoy a warm footbath for about 25 minutes while the Bio Cleanse does its work on your body. Ten to twelve treatments are recommended to complete one cycle of cleansing, although many people notice changes after just a few treatments. The Bio Cleanse is very helpful for relieving sore muscles and enhancing the healing process after injuries or surgeries.

Emotional problems such as depression, anxiety, fear, and trauma can be reduced significantly with the use of essential oils. The composition of certain essential oils is very calming and sedating to the central nervous system which reduces tension in our bodies. Essential oils quickly absorb into the body first through the nasal passages and secondarily through the skin. The amygdala gland (center for fear and trauma in the brain) is activated by essential oils which assists the healing process by releasing emotional traumas. Every negative emotional response can be improved with the use of essential oils - (p. 183 Essential Oils Desk Reference, Compiled by Essential Science Publishing

Nutritional assessments and recommendations help the body function at its optimum using the proper foods. Eating the proper foods is one of the best preventive measures you can take to avoid physical and emotional problems.
