I can't tell you how happy I am to have found Prelief....I've been suffering from IC and Pelvic Pain Disorder for years due to prostatitis ...it got worse over the
past few months due to acidity in my water and a lack of electrolytes. I saw a number of doctors who were unsuccessful in helping me. I was in pain all the time for months.. then I found Prelief ..within a matter of minutes the pain left and I started getting my life back... I can eat all my foods again for the first time in 10 years.....and I am gaining weight again for the first time in years which will help my tennis game allot. My deepest thanks to you and your company for your wonderful product. Living has become fun again! My body thanks you very much!

A BIG SHOUT OUT to you at Akpharma.
Without Prelief I would literally be in pain all my life, and I am 70 years old....
I have IC and use bottles of Prelief every other week, I now can eat acidic foods as long as I take your miracle product.

I just want you to know I have had wonderful success with taking Prelief before meals. I have gone to my primary care, specialists, and finally a dietician was recommended to me after many years of dealing with heart burn. She suggested Prelief after trying different dietary changes. Thank you for a good safe product.

This is just a short email to let you know what a wonderful product Prelief is. You seem to be marketing it as an antacid - do you have any idea what a wonder drug this is for IC (Interstitial Cystitis) sufferers like myself? I have even told my Urologist about it and he has passed the info along to his other patients. I found out about it online in a IC forum, seems like the IC community has been aware of it for quite some time !! You may want to consider marketing it for IC patients as well .............. I can finally have that glass of wine ........... Have that spaghetti and a little Mayo when I choose ! With NO repercussions or flaring of my IC !! You have no idea what a difference this product has made in my life. I have no idea what I would do without it.
Yours sincerely,

I want to thank you for making Prelief. I suffer from I.C. and am usually terribly limited as to what foods I can eat. This makes for a boring life, especially since I love spicy foods and Italian dishes. It also makes eating out in restaurants almost impossible.
That's where Prelief comes in! Just two tablets and I can eat many of my favorite foods without experiencing pelvic and bladder pain and burning. Prelief has made my life much more enjoyable and comfortable.
Thanks again and never stop making this wonderful product!
Sincerely,
L.S.

Dear Sirs, I wanted to email you and relate how terrific this product has been for me. I was becoming dependant on acid reducers (which don’t work that well) and was concerned about medical side effects because I already have low bone density. Prelief has allowed me to consume many of the foods and beverages that I had given up because they were simply too acidic for my system to handle. That this is a calcium product is a great extra bonus. Thank you for this product, I don’t go anywhere without it!
Best regards,

Hi,
I just wanted to contact you to tell you how much your product, Prelief, has helped me. I have suffered with bladder problems for years and seen more than my share of doctors. I have taken more antibiotics then I ever thought I should but couldn't do without them every time I had a "flare up." It was always the same old thing, "another urinary tract infection" every time I went to a doctor with my symptoms. Then, almost 6 years ago, my husband and I moved to Egg Harbor Township, NJ. which meant the next time I had a problem I needed a new doctor. After a few more bouts the doctor sent me to a Urologist. I had been down this road before too but this time was going to be different. On the first visit he told me he didn't think I had a UTI at all and he was going to work to prove it. It took the better part of a year but it turned out he was right! Well, after having a "UTI" almost every month for that year and testing each time at a lab he was sure. Instead of giving me a prescription for more drugs he suggested I try this Prelief. I had never heard of it and he thought it was a good product and I could buy it over the counter and see what happened. Well, that was 20 months ago and I haven't had a "UTI" since! Yes, I take some before each meal and I have been without a problem ever since. And what a hoot to find out it's made right next door to us in Pleasantville! What a small world! Even though it's made right here I haven't been able to find it in a store but I buy it online and have it sent to me. It's like a miracle to me. I can't even begin to tell you how uncomfortable I was for years and now it doesn't bother me at all. It takes out the acid in whatever I eat and as an added bonus that means it not only protects my bladder but now my acid reflux is so good I don't take any more ant-acids either! What a God send your product has been to me. I tell everyone how great it is. Any time anyone says they have a problem like mine I start right in telling them what to do to feel better in a hurry. Thank you so much and never stop making Prelief. It's so nice to be able to use something natural instead of another drug. We need more of that in the world today. As we get older it's just one drug after another. I can't express how grateful I am that my doctor knew about Prelief and offered it to me before another prescription. I'll sing your praises forever.
Sincerely,
C.M.

Hi!
".... I think prelief is an absolute God Send. I do not take medicine of any kind and I will be seventy next year. Before taking prelief I was going to the bathroom at least every twenty minutes. Now I go about every three or four hours and that is such a relief. Sometimes I last five to six hours especially if I am busy. To all IC friends try it.

I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how grateful I am to have found Prelief. I have been taking them regularly before every meal for about six months and have not had a single flare since then. The only thing I've eliminated from my diet has been fruit and/or fruit juice - I've eaten everything else that I've wanted. If I am going to be eating a tomato sauce or some other acidic food, I take 3 instead of 2. I couldn't have asked for better results. I plan to print out your information to take to my doctor, so she can recommend it for others with IC.
Thanks so much! JW

I wanted to take this time to thank your company from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful product. I have Interstitial Cystitis and Prelief has begun to save my life. As you know, most foods bother me extremely and now with Prelief I can enjoy my favorite foods again. You all have no idea how much this means to me. I cried my eyes out when I ate my first meal and I had no pain. My life is becoming enjoyable again. I can eat, sleep, work, play, and just enjoy being me WITH ALMOST NO PAIN!!! Prelief helps me more than any of my prescription medications that I take for this disease. I have battled with this condition for 5 very long years. I started having problems with my urinary system at age of 19. At age 21, I was finally diagnosed with I.C. Now at age 24, I am starting to enjoy my wonderful life. This is a miracle product in all of I.C. sufferers' eyes.I didn't think I would be able to fully enjoy eating meals ever again. So, thank you all so much for helping giving us all our lives back. I can never begin to tell you how thankful I am for this product.
Gratitude from the bottom of my heart,

I wanted to speak about my success with Prelief! I am an IC patient and was working to minimize my symptoms with the elimination diet. I was terrified to introduce anything new because of the pain. But, with the first two tablet of Prelief, the results were immediate. My trips to the bathroom were reduced, the burning and irritation subsided. Then, I began re-introducing all the foods I loved but was no longer eating. From pizza to burritos to oj and coffee...all with no trouble! I can't begin to tell you what it feels like; I can only tell you that it is all thanks to Prelief! I would like to tell anyone who is considering Prelief-it is safe, it works with the food and it will let you enjoy a full diet again.
K.M.
I can't say how thankful I am that this product is available. I have been an IC patient for 3 years and grieved over foods I could no longer enjoy. Amazing since taking Prelief. I actually cried tears of joy over my first Mexican meal that I ate and enjoyed with no pain! I now can go to parties and holiday get togethers. Thank You

I just wanted to let you folks know what a phenomenal
product you have. I've been bothered by bad heartburn
for years and in fact I was looking for an acid
blocker when I accidently found Prelief at the
drugstore. So, I decided to give it a shot. And I made
sure to give it a hard test. Buffalo wings and beer
during the football game on Sunday. Two tabs and I
had no discomfort at all. Thanks again for a super
product!

Dear Prelief I was very
fortunate in having my IC diagnosed within a month of onset. One month
was ENOUGH! Thanks to Prelief my life quickly returned to normal, with
NO PAIN, no symptoms and no side effects. Since using Prelief (and
nothing else... no prescription drugs) my bladder has improved in other
ways too for example, I am now sleeping through the night for the
first time in years. I can't thank you enough!

Here are some unsolicited letters from Prelief customers.
I called a year ago to tell you what an amazing product you have. It has given me a life! Without Prelief I would be in pain all the time. I have Interstitial Cystitis and my life has changed so completely, but Prelief has kept my sanity and saved my life. Thank you for being there. Please never go away.

I am in Lake Hopatcong, NJ. It is strange, not one pharmacy around me has it (Prelief) but I found it about 10 minutes away. However, most pharmacists will say that another product works the same, so they do not carry it. They are so wrong!! Thank you again for your product, something that works with no side effects is a miracle in this battle for relief

After much experimentation and the elimination diet, I figured out my trigger foods. Now when I want to “splurge”, I pull out the Prelief. Actually, I carry the pills and the granules with me at all times.
Most times I use the pills, but it depends on what I’m eating. My hubby actually is the one who ordered the granules for me (I actually started ordering all through the Prelief web site because I can get the bigger bottles and it’s easier than going to the store). He thought the granules would help me.
Vinegar is a big trigger for me, so if I’m going to eat ketchup or BBQ sauce, I’ll often mix the granules into the sauce itself. I also LOVE Hawaiian pizza. Last time we had it, my hubby prePreliefed my half of the pizza for me.
I’ve had as much luck with the granules helping as I do the pills. I hope this helps.

Dear makers of Prelief,
I suffer from Interstitial Cystitis. It had gotten so bad that it seemed no matter what I ate, I set it off. I couldn’t sit through dinner, let alone a movie or a long car ride. I felt like I was on a first name basis with every bathroom attendant in town.
While looking at different sites about my condition, I came across an advertisement for your product. I went to Walgreens here in Las Vegas, Nevada and bought a bottle. I took it with a meal and within an hour the irritation and pain were gone. I literally went back to Walgreens and bought the last four bottles they had on the shelf.
I have told my urologist about it and every friend that I have. It “literally” has given me my life back.
I hope that you will start advertising it on TV. as I am sure that so many more people are suffering needlessly. You can change their lives, as you’ve changed mine.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely Yours,
S.S.

You guys really want me to be on a commercial for Prelief. :) I read about it on the IC site and thought I would try yet another thing. So I bought some from the Walgreen’s. Of course I not expect it to work. My urologist even says I don’t have IC but I do have an “angry bladder” (too much info:). I am an extreme skeptic! Since I started using Prelief – GONE! I am one happy customer!

I can eat things that I haven’t been able to touch in years now, without horrible reflux pain. My doctor is baffled too, which worries me…He should at least have a clue as to why Prelief is helping me. I also showed it to my Gastro and he has no clue why it helps me either. He has been pushing me for another stomach check with that awful tube again which I will do to be sure the cells haven’t changed in my esophagus after years and years of reflux but that’s how much misery I have been in and I’m not now with Prelief.
I was literally eating 4 to 5 tablets a day of GasX, Maalox tabs, anything like that plus taking Previcid (30mg) a day, sometimes more. My doctor put me on two Previcid and two Pepsid Completes recently which I never started before I was put on to Prelief prior to starting that regime. I don’t need that now.
By the way, the aunt who told me about Prelief is 82 years old and now able to stop taking Nexium due to Prelief. She stopped taking Nexium months ago. She’s doing great with Prelief!

I LOVE Prelief! I learned about it on this site more than a year ago. Because I’m on the Elmiron, I occasionally will take the risk of a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine, or a dish or spaghetti, with Prelief first. I’ve never had anything bother me if I take the Preleif first.

I’m a longterm sufferer of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and recently developed symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis. During my internet research to find something that would ease my pain and frequent bathroom trips, I happened across information about Prelief. After reading story after story that told about how wonderful this product is, I decided I had to try it. I couldn’t find it anywhere locally (although CVS claims to stock it, there was none on the shelves in my local store) so I resorted to ordering it online through Amazon. At that time I was experiencing unbelievably painful bladder spasms which were becoming so unbearable that I was even having suicidal thoughts. Fortunately, my Prelief arrived last Monday, within three days of me placing my order and it was with great relief but apprehension (that it may not work for me) that I took those first two pills. I can honestly say that in the past week I have only had one very minor bout of bladder spasm and that was following a dinner party where I drank alcohol and ate lots of foods that I would normally avoid.
I am so thrilled with Prelief that I tell everybody about it. My husband and I both thank you for enabling me to have good quality of life again. I can even eat chocolate again, and you should know how important that is to a woman.

Just a short note to let you know what a benefit Prelief has been for me. Thanks to Prelief (which I have been taking for about 3 months now) I find my symptoms to be much more tolerable and manageable. I'm not saying it is a cureall, but it sure has made my life a whole lot better! I take 2 tablets with each meal and two before bed, and I have achieved some real positive results. I'm not sure how much of a demand there is for this product, but I truly hope you will continue marketing it for my sake as well as the others you have helped! Thank you!

Thank you so much for Prelief! It was a lifesaver! I can now eat food with acid without worrying about my bladder condition! My husband tried it when he was having heartburn and hiccups that wouldn't go away for several hours, after eating spicy food. He took 2 Prelief tablets, and the hiccups stopped! We will never travel without our Prelief now and hope we will always be able to buy it. Thank You!!

I had been reading about Prelief from all of you. My youngest daughter got married in July of this year. She called Wednesday night to invite us to their new house for dinner. I cooked lasagna and peach cobbler. I just didn't want to say no to the first dinner she ever cooked me. I called all over town to find the product and started taking 2 in the afternoon for precaution. I took 2 more at dinner and 2 more at bedtime. NO PAIN. It was wonderful...Thank you all for the Prelief information. I won't be without it.

Prelief is awesome! I've been able to enjoy spaghetti, tomatoes from the garden, pizza, and even had a little bit of salsa on a chip. And it's relatively cheap!

"I have been using Prelief for less than a week. I am crushing one to two
tablets (usually one, unless your chart shows I need at least two or maybe
threein which case I'm using two) with any of the offending foods. Since I started this, I feel better than I have felt in years. My urethra no longer feels like it is on fire, and I have energy. In addition, the urgency is also nonexistent."
