The Repreve product line includes: A super serum, facial creme, body lotion, bruise creme and an ointment for cracked skin & fissures. The program utilizes highly purified Emu Oil, a natural ingredient that is loaded with Omega 3 and Omega 6 nutrients, which the skin craves. A-Cute Derm also uses pharmaceutical grade Vitamen E, a potent antioxidant that creates a synergy with the other ingredients. Emu Oil penetrates the epidermal layers to nourish dry, chafed, cracked, tired & irritated skin. Emu Oil appears to help with pain and acts as a bio-active transport to mediate other nutrients into the skin as well as accelerate the body's to heal. Stop by the store and ask Renee to try out Repreve for yourself!

MEET CINDY ROBERTSON OUR NEW LYMPHEDEMA RELIEF SPECIALIST!
Introducing Cindy Robertson, OT/L. Cindy is an Occupational Therapist with over 10 years of experience treating patients with lymphedema.
She is now providing treatments with the Lymphstar Pro device at Renee's Survivor Shop to help clients manage their condition. This is a very relaxing and effective treatment to manage lymphedema.
The device uses gentle sound pressure waves and a mild electro-static field to improve lymphatic flow and allow a deeper lymphatic drainage than other forms of lymphatic massage.
We are seeing some wonderful results which have allowed clients dealing with this condition to reduce or even eliminate the use of other compression items such as bandages or compression garments.
Treatments are completed in a private room at Renee's Survivor Shop. They are *not* covered by insurance, but are offered at a reasonable cost. The cost is comparable (or less!) than a lymphatic massage offered by massage therapists. Plus, the recipient is receiving lymphedema education along with treatment!
Most people find the treatment sessions very relaxing and comfortable, and find that afterwards their swelling symptoms have been relieved, which is the primary goal!
Keep in mind however, a single treatment is not a one time quick fix. You will learn this AND much more from Cindy when you come in for a treatment or to simply ask more questions.
Call the shop today to schedule your appointment with Cindy! She's looking forward to helping Renee's Survivor Shop customers achieve relief from the trials of lymphedema!
You may also call Cindy directly with any questions, or to set up an appointment.
She can be contacted directly by calling: 419-297-4815.

Due to long hours on my feet because of my job requirements, I developed swollen feet and legs along with arm, neck, and shoulder pain from upper body repetitive motion. Getting no relief from conventional treatments, I tried the Lymphstar Pro machine treatment for lymph drainage. I experienced remarkable improvement after several treatments, so much that I purchased the machine for my own use. Using the machine three times weekly, I have additionally noticed a remarkable reduction in legs and buttocks cellulite, and also a significant firming of my facial and neck areas.

I am 39 years old, married, and the mother of a three year old and a four year old. Shortly after giving birth to my children I began having severe health related symptoms ranging from fatigue, hair falling out, weight loss, anxiety, constipation, insomnia, water retention, fibrocystic breast disease, and the list continued to grow. Conventional medicine failed me in many ways and I began looking for alternatives. I found a holistic medical doctor who has assisted me in understanding that my symptoms basically grew out of two autoimmune diseases. Hashimoto's disease (thyroid), and Celiac disease (inability to process wheat and gluten). After eliminating wheat and gluten from my diet and beginning to take natural medication to enhance my thyroid I began to feel better, but not great. I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to find the Lymphstar Pro. Immediately after using it for the first time I began to see results. I felt better and had more energy to get me through my busy days. I also noticed an immediate change in the way I retained water- I wasn't! I could see that by using the Lymphstar Pro I began to feel lighter because I wasn't carrying extra fluid. Ironically, a few weeks after I started the lymphatic massage, I had to have a mammogram because of the pain and swelling I was having in my breasts due to the fibrocystic breast disease. The mammogram came back clear and I have not had the pain and swelling return. I will continue to use the Lymphstar Pro for general overall health. I believe that it assists my body in cleansing and eliminating unwanted toxins in a safe and unobtrusive way.
I am thankful that I have had the opportunity to find the Lymphstar Pro to assist me in maintaining my health.

Lymphstar Pro®
Renee's Survivor Shop is proud to offer an outstanding instrument for use by health professionals and individual customers alike - The Lymphstar Pro! It is now being regarded as the premier product in its genre. Having evolved out of a decade of research, technological and design improvements, and user-feedback, you can feel confident that you have found the best. The Lymphstar Pro is used in applications related to moving lymph and the detoxification or clearing of tissue as it relates to the lymphatic system. It incorporates light (photonic) and sound (harmonics) with noble gas ionization into a therapeutic system of outstanding effectiveness and versatility. The Lymphstar Pro® is an electronic massage tool that gently stimulates the nerves and muscles to increase lymph flow. When lymph flow is stagnant due to lifestyle, or blocked by scar tissue, the terrain of the body may not be properly fed with nutrients or cleansed of toxins. Therapy heads are applied to the skin on various areas of the body. A relaxing session will leave you feeling refreshed, with benefits accruing over several sessions. It can assist with pain issues, swelling and edema, wound healing, skin enhancement, and much more. The Lymphstar Pro® technology is a combination of electro-static energy and sound pressure waves. It has been safely used by hundreds of health practitioners and home users for over 13 years. It was developed by the mother of a childhood cancer survivor and is manufactured by her company, Arcturus Star Products, L.L.P. in the USA. We invite you to try the therapy for a total health and beauty experience! Home use can be arranged (by purchase) for those requiring maintenance on a regular basis. © Lori Malec Sweet, Arcturus Star Products, L.L.P., 2007 [ read more...] (.pdf)

The 958™ bra was designed by a plastic surgeon to be the only all inclusive post surgical bra to help aid in the recovery of breast augmentation, breast reconstruction, breast reduction, mammoplasty, mastectomy, thoracic, oncology & general surgery.
Before the ENELL bra was brought to market, extensive research and testing throughout the United States was performed. ENELL Sports Bras were tested in many sizes and levels of physical activity. After testing the ENELL, women completed a questionnaire giving the ENELL very high ratings for support, comfort and quality.
