Stella Fokas
E3Live FOR HORSES
Stella graduated with an honours degree in Kinesiology and Health Sciences from York University. During her 20's she faced a common health problem, (chronic fatigue) which intensified over the years. After meeting Ron Weston, an expert and advocate of living foods, and seeing his example, she adopted a new lifestyle of raw foods, rest, and moderate exercise. In time her condition reversed and this gave her a renewed inspiration for health and life. Ron, the oldest man to climb mount Kilimanjaro at age 78, promoted the use of blue green algae in a person's daily diet. While there are thousands of varieties in nature, including Spirulina, Ron recommended AFA. This made such a difference to her physical and mental health, that she approached the harvester of AFA, Vision Inc., and started to promote E3Live in health food stores. Since 1991, Vision has been a leader in the harvesting and sale of AFA, and remains to this day the only company to back a consumable product with a one year money-back guarantee.
During the mid 90's, farrier Wayne Blevins began documenting the use of AFA from Klamath Lake, Oregon as a supplement to a horses diet. He was so impressed with the quality of hoof material that Wayne took the next step and found other farriers who would conduct controlled case studies using this new food source. The Brotherhood of Working Farriers Association stepped up to the plate and made case studies through the Farriers National Research Center. With such incredible results, many of the members began encouraging their clients to use AFA for their horses. At this point Wayne founded E3Live FOR HORSES, and for the first time made AFA available for horse owners. At the 2004 BWFA Convention, it was announced that of all products tested claiming to increase hoof growth, E3Live FOR HORSES was by far the best. In the 34 years as a farrier and trainer, Wayne maintains he has never seen another product do better for abscesses, shelly feet, laminitis, or white line disease.
Stella introduced E3Live FOR HORSES to Canada last June. Since then, she has been able to share her love and commitment to people, animals and now horses, with this unique food. "The customer truly sees the difference in their horse and this is very motivational." Come by and learn about the unique lake where AFA is harvested, and the many benefits associated with micronutrients for the health of your horse.
