Three numbers "There were three numbers to old folks always knew," McGee recalls. "They all knew their Social Security number, their cholesterol, and their sugar," she said laughing. "Well, my phone rang off the hook. I started getting calls from Minnesota, Montana and Vermont from little old ladies I didn't even know who said their blood sugar and cholesterol had gone down dramatically after eating my jelly. I was flabbergasted. She took letters she received from many of those people to doctors who at that time were doing research in diabetes at U of A. They tested the jelly, and called her with these words, according to McGee: "This is much better than these people think." " there were people there who wanted me to keep it quiet," she claims, so she knew she had something. "I told them no, this is something God mad for everyone." After years of research at U of A, including a grant from the American Heart Association, and testimonials from people like Dr. Andrew and Dr. Marcia Garcia, who swears its use with the Pascua Yaqui Tribe has helped reduce their diabetic problems, McGee developed her own company, Arizona Cactus Ranch, that has done six figure sales for years, and is poised to go world wide soon.
Her prickly pear nectar and condiments are sold at the Green Valley Health
Food Store on Calle las Tiendas, Bashas of Green Valley, Wild Oats, New
Life and other health food stores in the area and by mail order, and she's
currently working on an improved snack bar and a sugar free candy.
