Getting Started

My name is Matt Marcus. I have been racing bicycles since 1984 and actually making a living off bicycles since 1980, when I became a bicycle messenger in Washington, D.C. In 1988 I moved to West Virginia and became the manager, and later the owner of Blackwater Bikes in Davis. I sold the bike shop in 2000, but have continued to work there in the summer. I love the Davis, Thomas and Canaan Valley area of West Virginia, and feel lucky to have called it home for over 20 years.

Over those years, through my association with Blackwater Bikes, I have had the privilege of working with many athletes. Some of those athletes have reached the elite levels of competition, bringing home several National Championship and World Cup medals. Witnessing the ability of the human body to perform what many people would consider impossible feats, has convinced me that transforming the human body is not only possible, but probable for anyone with the will to do it.

One of my athlete friends introduced me to a sponsor of his professional road bike racing team. Baseline Nutritionals is a company that is based on a philosophy of uncompromising quality, intelligent formula design and formulation enhancements. The products are produced to support a “baseline of health” that is a key in reaching optimum well being.

I have been using these products for two years now and have been very happy, not only with the results I have been seeing in bicycle racing, but with my overall health and energy level. I would highly recommend these products to anyone trying to optimize their health or trying to overcome catastrophic illness.

I read the book “Lessons from the Miracle Doctors”, written by Jon Barron, founder of Baseline Nutritionals, and I became intrigued with the idea of intestinal cleansing and heavy metal detoxification being essential to bringing about optimum health. I tried the methods prescribed in the book and had great success with getting rid of some unwanted “excess baggage” that I was carrying with me. The following bike racing season, I had my best year ever, and I know it was intimately linked to my cleanse and detox.

I am now starting a cleanse and detox cycle, and I want to share my experiences with anyone and everyone who has an interest in this process. I know there are plenty of people who, like myself, understood the benefits of a cleanse and detox program, but never took the step to get started. Thanks to Baseline Nutritionals, I felt confident enough in the product and felt that I had the support of the people behind the company, the information in the book, the product literature and the web sites, (http://www.baselinenutritionals.com/ , http://www.jonbarron.org/) to finally take the step and begin. This will be my second cleanse and detox using Baseline products.

I am excited that my friend Tasha S. has agreed to do the cleanse and detox with me. This will be her first time, and it is nice to have someone here in person to compare notes with. Granted, the topic we are describing is pretty basic and mundane, but we are going to try and have some fun with it. Please feel free to comment or ask questions. Tasha and I are very busy in school right now, so I can’t guarantee a quick response, but I will do my best.

Thanks for reading,
Matt Marcus
