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)

Ovarian cancer is a disease that is often called the "silent killer".
Here are some "Fast Facts" about Ovarian Cancer:
# Ovarian cancer is the most deadly type of cancer that women can develop.
To help raise everyone's awareness of this "silent killer", Renee's Survivor Shop commissioned a special order of T-shirts to be created bearing the statement: "Get OVAR It!". These T's are
available in all sizes, and also feature a graphic of the teal Ovarian Cancer Awareness ribbon.

Shop aims to cheer and help cancer patients
Renee Schick knows firsthand the struggles that cancer survivors face.
In 2001, the Bedford Township resident found a lump under her arm, and after several tests she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
"We were all in shock," she said. "My oldest (child) was 12, and my youngest was 8."
Mrs. Schick underwent several surgeries in addition to radiation and chemotherapy treatments to destroy the cancer.
"I had an unpleasant experience when going through chemo," she said. "I thought, why isn't there a place for men, women and children - a cheerful, upbeat place people can go?"
While undergoing treatment, Mrs. Schick had several dreams of opening such a place. And the dream never left her.
In 2003, she opened Renee's Survivor Shop at 5401 Secor Rd. in Toledo. Her goal was to provide a place where cancer survivors could go to find hope.
"I want people to walk through my door and feel very hopeful. There's always hope," she said.
When people enter the shop, they are greeted by Oscar, a licensed therapy dog specially trained to give hugs.
"This shop is uplifting," she said. "You walk in, and a lot of times people come in after a doctor's appointment. People like that it's not a ‘hospital' atmosphere."
The shop specializes in custom breast forms, post-mastectomy bras, a wide selection of headgear including wigs, hats and scarves. The shop also has a separate wig room and fitting room.
Other items include mastectomy nightgowns and bathing suits, inspirational books and a collection of awareness items for all cancers.....
Remember..... Attitude is everything!
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror
and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. "Well," she said,
"I think I'll braid my hair today." So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that
she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M, " she said, "I think
I'll part my hair down the middle today." So she did and she had a
grand day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed
that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "Today I'm
going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did and she had a fun,
fun day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed
that there wasn't a single hair on her head. "YEAH!" she
exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"
As the saying goes: "Attitude is everything!"
"The kind of life you will have isn't determined by what happens to you,
it's determined by your reaction to what happens to you."
Have a Good Day. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting
some kind of battle.

Special thanks goes out to the staff and attendees of the Breast Health educational
luncheon hosted by Sandy Robin and Renee Schick at Medical Mutual of Toledo. The flower arrangements we received were gorgeous!
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.
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.
We have recently learned about monetary assistance programs that are available for low-income individuals fighting breast cancer!
