All of the nutrition consultants and customer service reps at Pain & Stress use a variety of our products depending on their specific needs. We have employees ranging in age from 24 to 60. Naturally, older folks have age-related problems that the younger employees do not. Our employees tend to be better educated about preventive health concerns, so the younger people consequently take Pancreatin 650, Brainlink, ProDHA, Mag Link and T-L Vite on a daily basis. Female employees 45 and over take DHEA as hormone replacement, Chromium Pic to help with blood sugar and cholesterol, Lysine for the skin, Serrapeptase, Glucosamine Chondroitin and Celadrin, in addition to those listed above. In addition, we regularly purchase product for our family members to support memory, bladder control, sleep, and pain control. These days, everyone at the Pain & Stress Center is increasingly aware of the need for disease prevention, taking Antioxidants and Omega 3 Fish Oil, and Green Tea Extract daily. Dr. Sahley takes at least 10 of her products to support her own health and to control back pain. Dr. Birkner has severe allergies and takes a variety of supplements as well.

Dr. Sahley's focus is research and product development and is no longer available for counseling or advice. She personally educates all of our nutritional consultants, who also attend ongoing training to be able to fully answer any question about any health condition that our products support. In addition, our web site for teens provides personal counseling via email at http://www.teenlinkusa.com

We have done consultations for 1 person, a couple, or as many as a family of 4 in any time frame, though a family consult takes at least an hour.

We recommend starting with Brain Link -- a complete neurotransmitter complex and a complete multivitamin and multi-mineral that has everything needed for basic nutrition. A good protocol for maintenance includes Brain Link, Magnesium Chloride, and Fish Oil. Those 3 basic nutritional products provide a good foundation from which you can build additional supplements for any specific health concerns you may have. Our catalog is divided into categories to help you find specific products. Call to request a catalog, or click here for our product directory. You can also find protocols for specific conditions in Dr Sahley’s books or you can request a nutritional consultation.

Yes. Brain Link can be used with any of our other products with the exception of Super Balanced Neurotransmitter Complex and T-L Vite. Brain Link is in powder form, whereas SBNC + T-L Vite provide many of the same ingredients in capsule form.

Heat such as boiling water destroys amino acids. They can be mixed with liquids that are cold or no warmer than room temperature.

Not at all. Teen Link only affects neurotransmitters that control brain function.

Homeopathic products like Liquid Serotonin and NeuroLinks can be used as often as every 15 to 30 minutes until you get relief. Decrease the dosage to every hour upon symptom relief, then 2 hours, then 3 to 4, then 6 hours. If symptoms increase go back to the time interval that works for you.

I'm on a fixed income. Will you send me a free sample?

We offer samples for $1.39. This covers the cost of time & materials, plus the stamp to mail it. This usually necessitates the customer sending us a check, as most people don't want such a small charge on a credit card.

We occasionally get free samples for some products listed in our catalog which we send out along with orders. Or if a product becomes available for the first time, we often give free samples as a promotion.

As of October, 2006, we are considering implementing a discount program, as a large number of our customers are 65 or older. Call us at 1-800-669-2256 to get more information. In the meantime, we do have special promotions, and 2-for-1 discounts. Ask your customer rep what she can offer in the way of discount.

You may see begin to see results within 3 to 4 days. Most people need to take supplements a week to 10 days before they notice changes. But you will get the best, long-term results once your body has thoroughly assimilated the ingredients, which generally takes 30 days, depending on your metabolism.

For temporary or situational conditions, such as anxiety, stress or infection, your need for supplements will be short-term. Of course, if you're taking something preventive or to support a health condition or disease, long-term supplementation is advised.

No, absolutely not. More than half of our customers use our products specifically to help them discontinue prescription drug use.
