"Jackie
Paisley was once a top competitor and role model in the fitness
industry. A former IFBB professional female bodybuilder during the
1980s, Jackie achieved the ultimate honor by winning the prestigious
1989 Ms. International overall. I doubt the thought ever crossed her
mind that one day she would literally be competing for her life.
With a degree from Arizona State University, a certified
personal trainer, nutritionist, dancer and professional bodybuilder
with over two decades of experience, this woman is no stranger to
obstacles. My favorite quote from Jackie is, “Every truly great
accomplishment is at first impossible!”
In 2011, after months
of illness and misdiagnosis from doctors, she went through a seven-hour
surgery to remove adhesions and eight lymph nodes filled with silicone
due to breast enhancement done during her competitive years. Until her
personal experiences with ‘silicone toxicity’ Jackie didn’t consider the
consequences as the medical community expressed such safety. After the
surgery, the effects left her previously sculpted muscles and strength,
diminished and extremely weak. In addition to unexpected physical
complications, resulting in months of recovery, Jackie also cares for
her eight year old special needs son (Neo).
The expenses have
overwhelmed Jackie and although many of her friends have tried to help
get her back on track, she struggles to make the basic payments of rent,
electricity, and food. As a proud and independent woman, Jackie shies
away from asking for help. Through all these complications though she
remains positive about her recovery and has used her knowledge to
identify “The Genetic Code” to help others become healthy through herbal
supplements rather than medication. This is how I first met Jackie
several months ago. I am a bikini competitor and athlete looking to make
my mark in the fitness industry. The training, diet and supplements
alone begin to take its toll on the body for many athletes over time.
Jackie was able to utilize her skills and personal experiences to help
me identify, treat and work through the different systems so I can get
back to my goals. I still have a couple months to my recovery but I can
already tell a major difference.
What I am asking is for help
(see below Links), on behalf of a woman who has impacted the fitness
industry for years and is continuing to do so. All she needs is a
spotter to help minimize the heavy weight until she can readjust and
push
forward."
