Additional Testimonials from clients: (brief)

Since making dietary and lifestyle changes based upon my suggestions through regular
counseling sessions, I am pleased to report the following results from some recent clients.

An 80 year-old man in New Jersey suffering incontinence, constipation and elevated PSA levels
was able to restore all these functions to normal levels and frequencies within a matter of a few
weeks. After additional tests were conducted to rule out other medical problems; which all came
back negative, he drove to Florida with his wife for a four-week vacation. He called me from the
beach in Fort Lauderdale to say: "I feel like a young man again."

A 58 year-old female business owner experienced a burst transverse colon in the summer of
2003. She almost died from the infection. A temporary colostomy was reversed in September,
2003. Still suffering from abdominal pain, diverticulosis, constipation and a 360 cholesterol
reading, she called for my advice. Inless than three months time, her bowels were functioning
much better. She no longer experiences abdominal pain, and her cholesterol dropped to 260.
"Over the years, I've tried everything. After being constipated most of my adult life, being regular
is new to me. I love it. I never thought I would feel normal again. Thanks."

A 55 year-old college professor in New York City suffered from daily migraine-like headaches for
over 30 years. He recently called to tell me that he has been headache free for the last three
weeks; after following my suggestions about keeping properly hydrated throughout the day. After
his initial euphoria and relief, he became angry as he realized he had been suffering needlessly
for so many years. He could not understand how so simple a remedy had eluded the dozens of
professional experts and therapists he had consulted with over the years. He remarked about
the thousands of dollars he wasted on various pills and potions that simply did not work.

A woman in Texas, in her 40's, with the worst IBS her doctors had ever seen. This woman visited
the bathroom a minimum of 10 times a day, and sometimes 20 times a day. In her own words:
"I'm being treated for IBS, depression, and hypoglycemia. The IBS has resisted all attempts to
tame it and I'm practically living on Immodium. I feel chained by the neck to the bathroom. If I want
to do anything outside my house, I have to completely fast (not eat any food) for several days to
prevent trouble." Here's what she says about six weeks into the program: "Things are so much
better. I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever achieve what other people consider normal. The past
week I have been pain free, and having regular bowel movements for the first time in over 20
years! I can't thank you enough!"

A 48 year old business man in Connecticut had diarrhea three or four times a day for the past
three months. Immodium did not work. Nothing worked. One week on the program, and he had a
perfectly normal bowel movement. We are working together so that he fully understands the
cause of his problem , and what he can change in his diet so that it will not happen again. He
continues to have regular, daily, healthy, bowel movements.

A 54 year old Rabbi from Michigan, suffered from terrible IBS. Cramping, bloating, flatulence,
indigestion, headaches, chronic fatigue, insomnia. Three weeks on the program and he is fine,
never felt better. He has lost 15 pounds. He started at 227, and is working towards 190. I'm sure
he will make it easily.
Following are testimonials from the past few years.

"I want to thank you for your extremely helpful and lifesaving advice. After suffering from Irritable
Bowel Syndrome for so many years without improvement I had almost given up hope. Prescribed
medications were not working. In fact they were making it worse. After ten weeks following the
dietary changes you recommended I am feeling great and basically am symptom free. Most
importantly I now know what to do in the days ahead to prevent these symptoms from coming
back. Simply amazing. Thanks!"
Tracie Ward, Sudbury, Massachusetts

"I called you that day under the worst of stressful circumstances. My little five-year-old Adam had
been sick for days and finally the diagnosis was in: e coli infection. Because of possible
side-effects and other potential complications, there was no available medical treatment. Your
calm assurances about what to do and why were extremely helpful. Five days later, Adam was
home from the hospital and acting like himself again. I believe your recommendations saved his
life."
Joni Jones, RN, CNC, Toms River, New Jersey

"I was a letter carrier for the US Postal Service for many years. Gradually my weight problem
made it impossible to continue in that position. Now I work inside at a desk. Since working with
you, I have lost eighty pounds without dieting. I know I still have a ways to go, but this time, I know
I will keep it off for good. The changes I have made in my diet and lifestyle make sense to me like
nothing ever did before. Many thanks.""
Pat Hanbury, Reno, Nevada

"I've been a professional in the wellness field for over seven years and still couldn't find the
answer to my most irritating and troubling health challenge: constipation. I saw many health care
practitioners with no success. With your direction I have been able to take effective actions in a
thoughtful, step-by-step process. My anxiety around whether I would ever solve this health
challenge is gone. I know I am on the right path as I look and feel so much better. Thank you
very much for your kind and gentle guidance."
Barbara Rankin, MSW, LCSW, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

"There is currently an epidemic of digestive illness in our country, an epidemic that is directly
related to the foods we eat and the way we live. Except for the common cold digestive system
problems are the most common reason people seek medical advice. Some staggering statistics:
Digestive illness affects at least 62 million Americans per year, resulting in 229 million sick days,
at a cost of $41 billion, and 191,000 deaths."
Digestive Wellness, by Elizabeth Lipski, Keats Publishing, 2000.
