Elaine was raised until the age of three in a small town in Pennsylvania, before her family moved to LaSalle, Michigan, just north of the Ohio border. She attended Monroe High School where she studied business. She later took courses in business in college.

Her marriage at a young age sadly ended in divorce, yet gave her four beautiful children. She worked in a factory until her children were grown, then left the factory to begin her own business.

She was again married, this time happily. Her husband joined her in her business until his death in 2005.

Elaine owned and operated Woodland Embroidery in Marion, Michigan. Today Elaine lives in Kentucky and owns and operates American Designs.

Elaine also spends much of her time listening to, and giving encouragement to, others who are going through the same kind of ordeal that she went through.

I’m Gail Voyda, and this is my story.

About four years ago (fall of 1998), I had a breast cancer scare. The radiologist reported an abnormality on my routine mammogram. After losing my mom to colon cancer in 1977, when she was only 41 years of age, anything even remotely related to the “C” word sets me into a panic. I immediately wanted to have a biopsy, but was told a biopsy was “not medically indicated” and insurance would not cover it.

I have had one of my greatest blessings in the world since my junior high school days, having Elonna McKibben as one of my closest friends. Her advice – start Protocel®. She was with me every step of the way. I went through the process of lysing. I actually felt better physically than I had in a long, long time. I never told my doctor what I was doing. My goal was to cure myself before “medically indicated” came to be.

After my six-month waiting period, I was allowed to have another mammogram. I was told the mass looked “different”. Hmmm…I didn’t even ask what they meant by that. With these mammogram results, I then became “medically indicated” to have an ultrasound, and then “medically indicated” to finally have a biopsy. To cut or not to cut…I guess that is an individual’s personal choice. For me, I wanted this thing completely out. I opted to have a lumpectomy done. It was BENIGN!!!

Along the way, another benefit of Protocel® just sort of snuck up on me. I was born with hereditary ataxia. Over the years, my sense of balance has gone from bad to worse. My body just aches much of the time. Showering is a bit challenging…one hand to wash and one hand hanging onto the bars on the side of the tub for dear life. As I said above, while I was taking the Protocel I felt, really, really well. The aching was less. Even my kids noticed that mom was much more balanced and not grabbing every piece of furniture in sight as I walked around my home.

As of this date, I am very happy to say that all is still well. I take a bottle of Protocel® a year to help insure that I stay that way.
