Isagenix Helps Climber Reach Top of Mount Rainier
September 20, 2007 |
In the great Northwest of the United States lies a massive mountain—its summit at 14,410 feet. To the average visitor, it’s a beautiful national landmark. But for some, the active volcano, completely encased I mnore than 35 square feet miles of hard-packed snow and ice, represents more than a monument. Instead it’s the most arduous endurance climb in all of the lower 49 states.
Mount Rainier, the highest and third most voluminous volcano in the state of Washington’s Cascade Range, is the triumph that any climber dreams of achieving. It also serves as the training ground for experts who want a chance at the Himalayas.
Forty-two-year-old Dan Morgado was an average climber. He had summated Mount Adams at 12,200 feet and Mount Fuji at 12,300 feet. To Morgado, Mount Rainier meant a lot more—more money, more preparation, more determination. Most difficult of all, however, was the physical training.
“Mount Rainier is only a coupld of thousand feet taller than Fuji and Adams,” explained Morgado, “but getting to the summit is a whole different story.”
Most elimbers have a difficult time facing Mount Rainier—they feel nausea, headaches, altitude sickness, and several other forms of edema, along with the fear of danger. Many turn back. Morgado had to be absolutely confident he would make the summit and didn’t want to risk the $5,100 he spent only to fail.
Morgado feels Isagenix helped open the door to Mount Rainier for him.
“I said to myself, ‘I think it’s time. I think I can do Rainier. I’m in the best shape of my life at age 42, said Morgado.
Morgado initially joined Isagenix because his wife, Shelley, wanted to lose 3-5 pounds of fat. They didn’t have any greater expectations than that.
“I lost a total of 15 pounds and Shelley lost 13 pounds.* We were shocked!,” said Morgado. I’m an endurance runner. Before Isagenix I had never broken a 40 minute 10K. After cleansing, I did break it, not by a few seconds—I shattered it! Shelley is an ex-bodybuilder. She said that if she had know about Isagenix when she was competing, she would have paid thousands for it.”
Morgado climbed Mount Rainier over the course of 40 hours with almost white-out conditions and 45-mile-per-hour winds. When almost half of he climbers gave up, Morgado continued onward with his team.
“I basically used a liquid food diet and included Isagenix Want More Engergy? and an ounce of Ionix Supreme daily,” said Morgado. “I made it to the summit of Rainier and I couldn’t believe how easy it was. I felt absolutely great—just as good at 14,410 feet as I did at 5,000 feet.
*Results may vary. In a recent study, participants averaged a weight loss of seven pounds at the completion of the 9 Day Program. Always consult your physician before making any dietary changes or starting any nutrition, weight control or exercise program.
