Below are just some of the testimonials we have received back from clients that have gone through the program. We hope this will give you some insight into the benefits that can be acheived by going through this class!
Pam's Experience
“I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your help with my recent success in losing weight.
Growing up in an Italian family, our diet consisted of pasta, pizza, homemade bread, fried dough, and more pasta! No one left the table until they were stuffed—and that led to the couch for a nap.
Reaching mid-life, I knew things had to change as I was always feeling tired and could not take weight off as easily. I was buying bigger and bigger sized and trying every ‘fad’ diet out there – with little or no success. When I came to you I was ready to try anything but wanted quick results. You started me off with the ‘cleanse’ in August of 2002 and after three weeks I lost 13 pounds. The shakes were great and I was never hungry. Now, I’m down over 20 pounds and too many inches to count! I have gone from a size 10 to a size 2. (I haven’t been a size 2 since I got married 22 years ago!) Yes, the results were quick and the best part is the way I feel. I have so much energy – no more naps! My blood pressure and cholesterol are great – I even received a discount on life insurance!
The ‘cleanse’ worked for me, even through the holidays I was able to maintain. It’s not just a diet – it’s a new way of life, and I do NOT ever want to go back. Your guidance and commitment to improving my health has been invaluable and greatly appreciated.”

Barb’s Experience
“I wanted to thank you for having such a positive impact on my health and overall quality of life. I thought I had tried everything to relieve the pain, inconvenience and unpleasantness of my Crohn’s disease and never expected to live a “normal” life until, I was referred to you and your program.
I was referred to you by Pam in September of this year. As a friend, she was aware of my history with Crohn’s disease, female problems and efforts to be fit and healthy. She was already a patient and felt confident you could eliminate, or at least relieve, my constant discomfort. So, feeling I had nothing to lose, I made the appointment.
I was immediately put at ease with you. You asked a lot of questions, offered a lot of information and spent a lot of time with me. I was also pleased that you took the time to answer all of my questions and address my concerns, which is uncommon with most doctors today.
I started your program the next day. Desperate to feel better, I committed myself to follow your program exactly as you described. Within four days, for the first time in years, I realized I had a “normal” bowel movement. As the days went on, I began to actually feel good in the morning and look forward to the day. Sticking to the plan was not difficult for me, because of the immediate results.
Now, three months later, I can hardly express how much better I feel! I have so much more energy, my Crohn’s is in check, I no longer experience PMS. Also, the annoying monthly cramps, tenderness and bloating from my menstrual cycle are virtually non-existent. There was only one “unexpected side effect” from your program. I lost the unwanted pounds I have struggled with for the past few years!
Thank you for your knowledge, understanding and patience. Your program has been an answer to my prayers. You are so right about “you are what you eat”. I am living proof that your program works and would be happy to be a reference.”

Karen’s Experience
“In the 21 days, I have managed to end a love affair with caffeine (pop and coffee), and stopped taking anti depressants and anxiety medication. As I sat there listening to what we do to our bodies, I made the decision that enough was enough. I dropped 10 pounds in the process and feel great. The best thing that has happened for me is something I won’t talk about much, but I am sure will be helpful for other women. I am 45 years old, and have given birth to 4 children. I experienced some damage to my lower bowel with my last child, and from time to time have had a bowel control problem. I have two options, live with it, or a colostomy bag. Since taking the gastro fiber, I completely eliminate each day, (if not more than once) and the bowel problem has been a non issue. I am excited, but enough about me. I want to tell you about my daughter that was with me, as her story has brought me not only joy, but peace as well.
You pointed out that much of our population is obese (and as I have learned over these past few weeks, the food industry has done a great job of fooling us with all of our low fat products that we consume, only to put us on sugar overload.) but there is another segment of our population that is starving themselves to death. The daughter that was with me has been treated for anorexia. I was hesitant about bringing her with me, but as she is about to enter college in the fall, I felt that maybe it was a chance to educate her…she wasn’t eating much, so I thought maybe if she could hear someone else tell her to eat good food to lose weight, she may listen. She felt pretty defeated as she saw the “horrible” list of foods she would have to consume, but I kept using your line…give me three weeks. She gave me three weeks, and tried the variety of vegetables that I put before her. Of course, since she is very thin, I had Danielle on the modified plan of adding protein to her salads in the evening, and that seemed to give her a lift. She is now a lover of all the steamed vegetables, eats 3 to 5 times a day, faithfully takes her supplements, and has started a work out program that she just loves. She is eating more now than she has for a very long time, and has lost inches, and I am sure pounds, but we don’t put an emphasis on the scale. Her hair is not falling out like it was, and she does not black out upon rising. (We did the symptom survey and were instructed to add Drenamin for our adrenals as well as the detox products). After our 21 days, we went to Subway for a chicken salad, and could not stand the taste of the bland vegetables. Danielle is hooked on healthy eating, and I feel so good about sending her off to college. The three week detox did more for her than any of the eating disorder counseling we have done. I have learned that a person with an eating disorder has a need for control, and Danielle has now been able to have that control in a healthy fashion. I am sure your schedule is full, but you should truly consider seminars for this part of the population. Our daughters are out there trying to look like the magazines they see, and they are literally dying in the process. I want you to know that you have been used in getting my daughters life on track, and for that I am extremely grateful.”

Bob’s Experience
I came to you originally looking to lose some of the extra pounds I had put on. In that respect alone the Detoxification/Cleansing was a success. Over a period of two months, I lost 20 pounds. The Detoxification was an unequivocal success.
What I could not have imagined was the other results that have altered the course of my life. For years I had taken Albuterol for my asthma. I daily took two to five puffs from my inhaler. By the second week of the cleansing, I noticed a decrease in its use. By the end of the third week, I began leaving the inhaler at home. I cannot tell you the impact of being free from asthma has had on my life. It is fantastic!
Another result of the Cleansing is the increase of my energy levels. Through your program of balanced eating, my peaks and troughs through the day have balanced out. I now maintain consistent level throughout the day. No more morning bursts of energy followed by the need for a nap at 9:00 AM.
I highly recommend the Cleansing to all my friends. Thank you for the guidance through the program, it has made a powerful difference in my life.”

Sharon’s Experience
“At the recommendation of a friend, I came to you because of the back pain I was suffering. You asked what other things bothered me and I recited my ailments. After almost 4 months of being on your program, I look back and find it difficult to believe I was in such a bad state. Who was that person? Was that really me? After only a couple weeks on your diet, I began to feel better.
Now it’s difficult to remember what all bothered me. In the oft-said words of humor writer, Dave Barry, ‘I am not making this up’, but here’s what I can remember, and I am not making this up: both hands were swollen; I had such severe pain in my hands and in most of my fingers, that particularly affected me at night, that I either had difficulty falling asleep or the pain would wake me up; both ankles were swollen, as was my right leg; my right knee felt as if I were breaking it every time I got up from a sitting position; my aforementioned back pain was so intense, especially at night, that it was difficult for me to move; all my joints hurt, usually not all at once, but definitely one or more would always be hurting; I often couldn’t bend most of my fingers.
At times, it was an effort for me to simply move. If I dropped something, I would consider its value and then think about whether or not I needed to make the effort to pick it up. Opening jars, bottle tops, or any type of twist-lid was either a supreme effort or impossible. Writing was uncomfortable. In fact, when I started the program, I needed to buy another blender, so I purposely got one with a plastic pitcher rather than a glass because I felt so clumsy I was certain I would drop and break one made of glass.
The list goes on: I had heartburn or indigestion more than once a week; almost every morning for years, I would wake up with a slight headache and/or a mild feeling of nausea; I had severe headaches. For decades, I’ve had trouble getting to sleep and once asleep, I would not sleep soundly. I always read first, hoping that activity would wind me down to get to the point of drowsiness. Now, I can barely read 2 pages without falling asleep and I’m finally sleeping more soundly. Then of course in return, I’m also not tired during the day the way I usually was.
I’m sure I’m forgetting something, but I think you get the gist of the situation I found myself in. By the time I came to you, I was frightened. In the back of my mind, I wondered if I had debilitating arthritis or perhaps some type of crippling disease. Oh, and besides all the above mentioned ailments, I was overweight and seemed to be doing nothing but gaining even more weight.
Well, I started your program. And here we go again, I am not making this up: except for occasional achiness in my back and one hand, all the other things on my list have gone away. Gone. Disappeared. Vanished.
I recommend your program to everyone. It’s not difficult, the shake is tasty, and the fruit and vegetables speak for themselves. I used to look at those 16th – 17th century fruit or vegetable still-lifes and think they were rather boring. Now I look at the real-life items and think, “You know, these things really are beautiful. “Just look at those peppers!” (Who’s boring now?”
I feel great. I can move! I don’t hurt any more. And I thank you so very, very much.”

Leslie’s Experience
“I want to “Thank you” for the new outlook I have about dieting and eating. I was raised in a very ethnic family where your life revolves around food. You ate breakfast discussing what you were eating for lunch and dinner. I had never had a weight problem until I reached the age of 40 and took on a very stressful job. When I came to you in January 2003, I was at my wits end, I was overweight and my hormones were out of control. I had tried almost every thing to lose weight as well as many vitamins, hormone replacements and gimmicks to straighten out my hormone problem. You took the time to talk, explain and introduce to me the SP Cleanse and the diet system.
In three months I lost 18 pounds and many, many inches. I had an abundance of energy and received many compliments about my skin. For the first time, in a long time, I felt good about myself and enjoyed life a little more.
I have always worked out and did continue while doing this program. My endurance and ability has drastically increased. I am running again and my muscle tone is incredible.
My hormones are in check and my mood swings are almost non-existent. I do not experience PMS symptoms I was having trouble with before.
Thank you again for your knowledge about how our bodies must be balanced and how this program works. You patience has been amazing.”

Kellie’s Experience
“I wanted to personally write to thank you for your help and guidance with the SP Cleanse System of weight loss. In December 2002, I came to see you when I was at the end of my rope. I was overweight and consumed with thinking about being overweight. I was also very confused in making food selections due to all the different types of weight loss programs I had tried in the past.
You took the time to introduce me to SP Cleanse and the diet system. I understood the discipline needed for the system and was ready for the rewards and to regain control of my life. I’ve lost 37 pounds, 12 inches, and feel great.
- The SP Cleanse diet shake tastes great, is full of valuable vitamins and nutrients and I’m never hungry.
- I’ve been introduced to much healthier food choices.
- My skin color and tone look and feel healthy.
- My hair and nails look healthy.
- I received a premium reduction in my life insurance policy after my test results were reviewed.
I have been involved in weight training with a personal trainer for over 14 months now, and this diet paired with the weight training have given me the best results ever. I have gone from a size 14 to a size 6 and my body weight and fat % are the lowest they’ve been since adding the SP Cleanse plan to my weight-training program. This proves to me that both should be paired together to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Thank you again for your help, guidance and belief and support in my success.”

Harry’s Experience
I must admit that when my wife told me about a doctor that she heard about that could help you lose weight I was skeptical. I had tried every pill on the market, including fat inhibitors, and was tired of spending a lot of money on weight reducing plans that did nothing for my wife or me. It seemed like every time I would have somewhere special to go, none of my clothes would fit. For the last few years, this was getting to be ridiculous, and I was really getting heavy.
I thought I had good success with the Atkins diet, yet a few months later, I added not only the fifteen pounds I lost, but added an additional 20 pounds. It was to the point, that I believed that I was made to weigh these newfound pounds that I had gained in the last 5 years.
But, after the first few weeks, I admit, I started to lose weight, and was pleasantly surprised. Simply by taking the supplements along with changing my eating habits, I was losing weight. After the first few months, I had lost over 30 pounds, and in the last 4 months, I have kept it off. You explained that the goal was to change our eating habits, and we certainly have. Today, we have a shake in the morning (which we look forward to), and eat more salads, vegetables, and fruits, and have gone back to eating almost everything in moderation. I have never been hungry, this is not a diet, it is a mind set change in the way we eat, and what we eat.
By changing our eating habits, I have also not had indigestion since the day I started. I would have indigestion 4-6 days a week, and would go through all types of pills and medicine. This in itself is a great side benefit. I am also extremely happy considering all my clothes are too big, I am back in the sizes that I wore over 5 years ago. I am in sales, and those that I sell to on a regular basis, have commented how good I look and constantly ask me how I lost my weight.
My wife, (I personally didn’t think she had to lose a pound), also wanted to lose weight, and has also lost over 15 pounds and she has gone down two dress sizes. She does look great.
I am a true believer.

Virginia’s Experience
Thank you for recommending the wonderful product called The SP Complete Diet.
I have been a fat kid since age 9, when I had my tonsillectomy. I remember that I just could NOT stop eating after my throat stopped hurting. The result was a fat childhood, a fatter adolescence and an obsess adulthood. Now, at the age of nearly 62 years, you have given me a “new lease on life”. By losing weight and making my body healthier and far more energetic, by using SP Complete, I am looking forward to enjoying my life as never before. I do realize there still remains a challenge to reach my goal and then maintain that level of health, but now, I feel I can, and will be able to do it. In the past, I have tried every diet known in the U.S.A. it seems. Now, I have finally found one that has REALLY helped me in more ways than one.
Not only am I successfully dropping pounds, as expected, but another payoff is that my body is healing itself. My Internist MD has already removed one of my HBP pills, and cut my other HBP pill Rx in half. Plus, it seems, that after needing Synthyroid for 13 years my thyroid is starting to produce its natural hormone again. My Synthyroid dosage was cut in half, also by my MD after reading the blood test result. My energy level is fantastic, which allows me to awaken each morning, without an alarm clock, at 5am and enjoy a 90 min. very brisk walk. Just 2 months ago, I had to push myself to get in a 30 minute stroll, in midmorning, because I could not get out of bed.
Some other, very obvious changes that I am witnessing are that my allergies to house dust and damp mold has disappeared. No longer, do I have a sore throat upon awakening in the morning. I do not suffer from constant post nasal drip. At night, I no longer get a stuffed up nose, which makes it hard to sleep. I have had these problems since adolescence.
Yes, my level of health and life style is changing as I marvel at how my body is changing, right before my eyes.
Thank you again, you have really helped me to help my body, heal itself. Your sincere guidance is truly appreciated.”

Elaine’s Experience
It was the end of last Jan., and I was in your office when I heard you talking to two women about the Standard Process Purification Program. You were telling them how easy it was to lose weight on this program and that basically all they had to do was eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables for three weeks. I thought this was a very good way to lose weight. It sounded easy and I knew that I could do it. I told you that I wanted to try it.
I have tried other methods of losing weight and I did, but never went below 200 lbs. So this sounded like a real challenge and that it was something I could do. I started out on Program Three, the Intensity: Optimal. After the first week, I had lost 4 or 5 lbs., after the second week I lost a few more pounds, and by the end of the third week I had lost a total of 22 lbs. For the first time since 1986, I had been below 200 lbs.
Today, I am very careful about the foods I eat. I eat 5 to 6 fruit each day along with several raw vegetables. I take my SP Complete shake every day with strawberries and bananas; and steam most of my vegetables. Am I happy, you bet! It is so nice to hear from people at work about how well I look. But, most of all, the fact that I have gone from a size 20 to 16 is what makes me feel happy.
Thanks for your continued encouragement; and thanks to Standard Process for coming up with this great way of losing weight.”

Mitchell’s Experience
“At the age of 36 years old I realized that I was 50 pounds overweight and growing larger every year. Additionally, it had become more difficult to lose the weight as the years passed.
At that point, I sought out a nutritionist who could not only help me lose the weight but also help me change my eating habits to maintain the weight loss for a lifetime.
Your recommendation to participate in the three-week cleansing program to begin my weight loss program was probably one of the best recommendations I have ever received. The program was difficult. I experienced headaches the first 3-4 days from the caffeine withdrawal and fought my cravings to continue the poor eating habits that I established through the years. Within a week I noticed major changes in my body. And my wife immediately noticed that I slept much more quietly than I use to (this does not meat that I ever snored).
Today – two months since I began the cleansing program – I have lost more than four inches in my waist and 20 pounds overall. You’ve been a great help to me through the process by offering suggestions on how to manage my new eating habits within the society that we live. Your guidance has been especially helpful to me when entertaining business colleagues over dinner. I now feel much more knowledgeable when making menu selections. And my desire for my old favorites continue to diminish I reap the rewards of a healthier diet.
I look forward to being able to write another letter in two years when I meet my “ideal” weight and stabilize my lifetime weight management program. Thank you again for your assistance.”
