Her neighbors were sure she'd drown.
Not at the beach. In her own backyard. Five or six nights a week, Jackie slept in the hot tub, with a flotation ring around her neck because her daughter made her promise. It was the only thing that touched the pain.
The story of Jackie, who put a 25-day reminder on her calendar and never needed it. Read on.
Start with two facts about Jackie. Both are true.
Put them next to each other. The first one didn't go away. So what changed?
A calendar reminder she never used.
That's the honest answer, and it's why this page exists. Jackie is not a wellness person. She thought this was a gimmick. Twice. What follows is what happened between "another gimmick" and "I've sold thirty of these to my neighbors."
Go to sleep in pain. Wake up in pain.
That was the day. Jackie has had fibromyalgia and Lyme disease for as long as she can remember. Forty years, plus. "Excruciating pain," she says, "my whole life."
She'd wait for the pain to come on, sometimes by nine in the morning, and take a low-dose Percocet. Just enough to take the edge off so she could function. Still in pain 24/7. Just a slightly duller version of it.
Nights were worse. She'd wake in the middle of the night hurting, and the only thing that gave her any relief was the hot tub. So she'd go out and get in it. And fall asleep in it. Five or six nights a week.
Her neighbors told her she was going to drown. Her daughter made her promise to wear a flotation device around her neck. She kept the promise. She kept sleeping in the hot tub.
Days got planned around how she felt. Some days were two-nap days. Some days she cancelled whatever was on the calendar because she couldn't do it. She'd still show up to pickleball now and then, knowing she'd pay for it. "It's like, I really want to do this, but I know I'm going to suffer the consequences. Let me play one game."
"It used to feel like bricks were tied to my leg, and every muscle in my body was hurting." Jackie
Another gimmick. Then it popped up again.
It showed up in her Facebook feed. A video from Resona Health's founder. She glanced at it and thought what you'd think: "Oh yeah, another gimmick." Then it popped up again. "Hmm."
So she researched it. YouTube, mostly. And she landed on the math that a lot of people land on:
"$299, 30-day money-back guarantee. What do I got to lose? I'll mark it on my calendar, like 25 days. If it's not doing any good, I'll send it back, get my money back." Jackie
She got her VIBE on June 20th. She did not wait around to see what would happen. She ran everything. Delta. Liver. Vagus Nerve. Fibromyalgia. General Inflammation. "I was just continuously running protocols."
Week 1
She felt like she had the flu for about a week. Not what she was hoping for. (More on that below.)
Day 18, give or take
"In about two and a half weeks, I started seeing amazing results." Her words. The calendar reminder was still a week out.
Somewhere in there, three days in a row, she noticed something she didn't recognize. "It felt like I'd had a glass of wine or two," she says. "It was a good feeling. It just was not a feeling I recognized." Her pain, by her own scale, had gone from a ten-plus to a four or five.
The 25-day reminder came and went. The device stayed.
"I don't want this refill."
About a month in, Jackie went to her doctor for the appointment she'd been making for years, the one where the Percocet gets renewed. And she said something she'd never said in that room.
As Jackie tells it
"I said, 'I don't want this refill.' And she said, 'What?' I said, 'I don't need it anymore. I'm feeling great.' And she said, 'Jackie, you've been on this Percocet for a long time. What's going on?'"
"I showed her the VIBE and gave her some literature on it. And she said, 'Don't stop cold turkey.'"
So she didn't. She weaned off it with her doctor, the way her doctor told her to. That part matters, and it's the part Jackie is careful to say out loud: this was a conversation with her physician, not a decision she made alone in the hot tub.
And she'll tell you the rest, too. She's not completely off it. The night before we talked was a rough one, and she took one. Those nights still happen. They're just rare now, where they used to be the rule.
Most days: a couple of over-the-counter Advil, and out the door.
What her friends noticed first.
Jackie has always smiled through it. "Smile through the pain and go on through life." So the people around her didn't have a lot to go on. What they noticed was that she started laughing more.
Then they noticed her on the pickleball court.
"People are noticing. They're like, 'Jackie, wow, you can move. You could never move like this before.'" Jackie
Before June 20th
- Pain she rated at a ten-plus
- Percocet by nine in the morning, most days
- Hot tub in the middle of the night, five or six times a week
- Two-nap days. Cancelled plans.
- One game of pickleball, then pay for it
Now
- Pain she rates at a four or five, most days
- Off the daily Percocet, with her doctor's guidance
- Hot tub nights: maybe once a week, maybe not
- Brain fog, fatigue, "overall sense of wellbeing": all better, her words
- Pickleball four or five days a week. Water aerobics. Dancing.
"I'm living life," she says. "It's amazing for me." And the neighbors who used to worry about her drowning now mostly worry about losing to her.
About that week she felt like she had the flu.
Jackie ran everything at once, at full power, from day one. In a conversation with Resona Health's founder, Mark L Fox, after the fact, she learned that's not how he'd have told her to start.
Resona Health has heard from a lot of people with Lyme disease, and its guidance for them is specific: don't run the VIBE at power level ten on day one. Start at a three or a four. Run the Delta protocol, then Liver, then Vagus Nerve, and work the power up over time. Some people who go all-in at the start report feeling rough for a stretch, the way Jackie did, and quit before they get anywhere.
Jackie didn't quit. She's the exception, not the plan. If her story sends you to the device, take the slower on-ramp she wishes she'd taken. The calendar reminder is your friend either way.
"Looking back, I realized I was probably having a reaction." Jackie
Thirty of them, in about six weeks.
Here's what happened next, and it's the reason you're reading Jackie's story instead of a product page.
She decided that if she could help anybody feel ten percent better, that was a win. So she signed up as a Resona Health affiliate. A couple of days later she thought about it some more. If people just ordered off the website, fine. But they wouldn't hear her story. They wouldn't get what she now knows. So she started buying VIBEs to hand to people herself.
Jackie lives in a 55-plus community. As she puts it, "Everybody can use a VIBE." The first batch, she simply gave away to people she knew, with one rule: if it works for you, pay me; if it doesn't, give it back. Every one of them came back with $299 in it instead.
In about a month and a half, without really trying, she's placed thirty of them. Word of mouth. People watching her move on a court where she used to limp.
She still makes the same offer to anyone who's skeptical. "Just take it and try it. If it's not doing anything for you, give it back to me. No problem."
- FibromyalgiaHer main daytime protocol. (She's learned not to run it at night.)
- DeltaBrain wave protocol, the one she ran heaviest at first.
- LiverPart of the Lyme sequence.
- Vagus NerveThe reset at the end of that sequence.
- General InflammationThe one Resona Health tells everyone to run.
Five buttons on a device that fits in her pocket. That, plus a hot tub she barely uses anymore.
