WheatGrassJuice!!!
What is it???
WheatGrassJuice!!! is the juice from baby wheat plants.  When grown to maturity, the grass becomes “amber waves of grain” yielding many seeds from the one.  Hard red winter wheat seeds morph into rich green grass ready for juicing in just a few days—the grass is really “ALIVE” to grow that fast.  WheatGrassJuice!!! is life, energy, and chlorophyll in a most potent and natural form.  WheatGrassJuice!!! is “Living Nutrition” at its best.  WheatGrassJuice!!! is a cleanser in the body.
Why is it so good for us???
The laboratory nutritional analysis is included for your careful consideration.  Please note that WheatGrassJuice!!! is mostly chlorophyll and a great source of protein in the form of amino acids.  It is abundant in A, C, E, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, along with many other vitamins and minerals.  It is “ALIVE” with enzymes when consumed organic, fresh, and raw.

What’s in the seeds that transform air, water, soil, and sunshine into grass 10 inches tall in just 10 short days???  How does any seed multiply itself 10, 100, 1000, times or more???  While scientists can count the seeds in an apple—they are left wondering how many apples are in those seeds.

The “Living Energy”—this amazing quality that multiplies the seeds and has yet to be quantified is the nutrition so highly concentrated in WheatGrassJuice!!!  Our ‘Living Bodies” positively need the “Living Energy” that comes from “Living Foods.”  WheatGrassJuice!!! is also a most efficient means to fuel the body with the essential “GREEN” element so prominent in Nature!!!  “We don’t have to love the taste of WheatGrassJuice!!! to LOVE what it does for us!”  
Most importantly:

It’s Alive—It’s Alive—It’s Alive!!!

It is phenomenal that so many nutrients can be measured, however the most essential nourishment in not on this page???  The "Living-Energy" that turns seeds into grass could very well be the true nutrition???  Please call 619-244-5455 with any questions!!!
TESTIMONIALS—AN INTRODUCTION—SOME CONCLUSIONS!!!
TESTIMONIAL INSIGHTS AND THOUGHTS TO PONDER!!!
(Please note that my personal OHI Testimonial is the last one on this page.)

I observed the Gift of Healing week after week at the Optimum Health Institute for seven years.  I witnessed testimonials from people all around the world who achieved profound improvements in short periods of time for most every pain, diagnosis, symptom, and condition imaginable.  Many exclaimed, “It’s a miracle—it’s a miracle—it’s a miracle,” although I know, and now you can know too—it’s simply the body doing what its does naturally (Healing) when it’s cleansed of toxins and given the “Living Foods” it’s supposed to have; it’s the entire “Live Food Movement” coming to life one person at a time.  It’s knowing that what’s behind us and what’s before us pales in comparison to the Healing Power alive within us.  It is so wonderful to see the excited expressions of relief and feel the joy coming from people who are filled with new hope as their Health is finally being corrected after years of fear and desperation; they feel it and others can see them getting better day by day.  Imagine the thrill and pure joy the man was feeling as he wrote to tell me he was canceling his eye-removal surgery.  I watched a lime-size tumor on a man’s neck shrink down day by day.  I wish everyone of you could have witnessed, tasted, seen, heard, and learned what I have witnessed, tasted, seen, heard, and learned since 1994 when my life was transformed by my indelible OHI experience—the whole world could be Healthy if people were only filled with desire and empowered with wisdom. I pray these words fan the flames of your faith, empower you with wisdom and discipline your desires to create “Divine Health!!!”

The great news is that it takes a lot less time to get lean and well than it does to be fat and sick—the testimonials are proof positive of that and this.  Many had been sick for years and now they are Healing in days.  Many had battled with weight for years and now the pounds are melting like snow in the springtime sunshine.  These testimonials are shining examples of how thinking right and eating light can lead to always feeling bright.  They are “Golden Apples of Wisdom in Settings of Fine Silver.”

Ask:  Where did the testimonials come from; what are they the result of; how can I have one of my own???  The following testimonials are just a tiny sampling of the thousands I witnessed during my OHI tenure.  Every Friday morning, people gather in the multi-purpose-room to share their stories (testimonials).  In fact, I was so blessed to attend the testimonials most every Friday morning I was at OHI; that’s over 300 hours and more than 3000 individual Healing accounts; I learned more, and more, and more from each of their experiences about Natural Healing and what it takes to achieve it.  Knowledge and wisdom build and strengthen upon themselves.  Please appreciate that the testimonials are every Friday morning and each testimonial is as unique and special as the individuals themselves.  The following testimonials are proof-positive of the “Healing Powers” found within each of us when "Living Plant Foods" are combined with SPIRITUAL—Emotional—Mental—Physical—Sexual—Social—Environmental—Financial obedience, alignment, balance and harmony with GOD and Nature.  Stress must be eased as it can have so many painful physical manifestations.  The testimonials are most powerful in helping one to learn what is really involved in the Natural Healing Process.  Be sure to read between the lines to feel the emotions; as you feel and get emotionally involved, you will begin to understand—soon, you will know how important emotions are in the Whole Health Healing Process.  Positive emotions Heal SPIRIT, mind, and body—negative emotions kill most of what we are and destroy most of what we have.

Most of the testimonials to follow are word for word transcripts taken from OHI Friday morning live recordings.  I have not embellished them in any way, although some chaff has been cut leaving only the precious seeds of wisdom they wanted to share.  Some are from letters and emails sent to me.  All demonstrate the simple cause and effect results enjoyed by people just like you and me following the “Live Plant Food—WheatGrassJuice!!! Lifestyle.”  I have heard many Health care professionals of different capacities say this in their own way, “I have received more practical, hands-on everyday living experience in three weeks here at OHI than I learned in 8-10-12 years of medical school and my OHI Graduation Certificate is going on the wall right next to my Medical Diploma(s).  Each story is uniquely their own and contains many insights into the very essence of life and Healing.

As you read the testimonials, notice how it takes a lot less time to get well than it does to endure sickness.  Be sure to read between the lines and feel the emotions.  Notice how many had been sick for years—they get better in days.  After 20 years—one man gets off six different medications in two weeks.  Many will not change until they have to; (until their pain has become greater than their fear of change) it is my Prayer for you that you will be motivated by these words to change before you have to—before sickness forces you to; it’s a lot easier when you do.  Always remember this while in the process of creating your joyous Natural Healing transformation; it takes a lot less time to get well than you’ve been sick.  If you won’t transform proactively by choice—you will be forced to change by pain.  When our pain is greater than our fear of change—we change like it or not.  Let Health be our LOVING!!! proactive motivator—not pain our fearful reactive master.  It’s not easy or pretty when people are forced into action because of fear—pain is but fear festering in the physical body.  Pains purpose is a call to purify body, mind and Spirit of hurtful things that cause malady within the body.

LOVE!!!  HEALS!!!—Fear hurts    Maximize LOVE!!!—Minimize fear
Notice how varied the symptoms and conditions are.  What is common in the manifestation of these symptoms and conditions???  Stress and unresolved negative emotional issues do cause physical pain within the body.  What is common when Healing occurs???  The lessoning of stress and the resolution of emotional issues are crucial to healing.  This must be complete SPIRITUAL—Emotional—Mental—Physical—Sexual—Social—Environmental—Financial cleansing and purification of the entire being; stress must be extirpated; obedience, balance, harmony, and alignment must be obtained and maintained.  Pain eases in direct ratio to poisons being purged—just another simple cause and effect Law of Nature. 

Seven wonderful years of “Live/Raw Food Testimonials” taught me well; I learned so much that I AM 99.999 sure.  It is more valuable than gold, yes, to be desired even more than 99.999 fine gold.  Healing is freedom at last; LOVING!!! laughing, forgiving, and letting go the past!!!  The positive emotions of LOVE!!!: faith, courage, forgiveness, gratitude, self-acceptance, appreciation, peace, hope and joy HEAL!!!  The negative emotions of fear: unforgiveness, stress, hatred, anger, guilt, jealousy, resentment, grievance have physical manifestations that hurt.  Do you want to Heal or hurt???  Be not dual-minded any longer.  A mind completely filled with great ideas has no room for silly notions.  A being filled with authentic agape LOVE!!! cannot fear. 

It needs reinforcing, once again, you see, it matters not the diagnoses, pain, symptoms and/or conditions.  When you get the toxins out, get the “live” nutrition in, obtain balance and harmony Spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, sexually, socially, environmentally and financially, you can experience Natural Healing—you can develop a sound mind in a Healthy body and a sound mind in a Healthy body is surely a joyous state of “Optimum Health”!!!

Are you and/or someone(s) you LOVE!!! “spanning the globe” questing a cure only to experience again and again the “agony of defeat”???  HEALTH—is the ultimate “Thrill of Victory!!!”  EUREKA—EUREKA—EUREKA—HEALTH IS HERE—this is your ultimate “thrill of victory”—it has been for so many—may you be next!!!

Words are a most powerful tool for a charismatic orator.  The pen is mightier than the sword in the hands of a skilled writer and yet both forms of communication pale in comparison to seeing the evidence, feeling the energy, and being a miracle of "Living Plant Foods" for yourself.  Therefore, you are enthusiastically encouraged to try it for just 21 days—you too, can be transformed into Optimum Health and have your own testimonial.  And when you do, please share your “Healing Testimonial” with me and the world that this Healing LOVE!!! is growing like the grass???!!!


TESTIMONIALS FROM THE OPTIMUM HEALTH INSTITUTE!!!
www.optimumhealth.org

SAVED FROM BLADDER REMOVAL SURGERY!!!
I was diagnosed with bladder cancer.  I was all set to have my bladder, prostate and possibly my left kidney taken out.  Then I heard about this place from my daughter who was telling me about alternative approaches.  I had her support, but I said, Well, I’ll just go ahead with the operation – I can live with a bladder bag on me if I have to.  Then I decided to go to OHI first.  I could still do the operation after I thought.  Two days after I was here, I had the reinforcement and had heard from enough people that I made the decision – there’s not going to be any surgery!!! The turning point for me was all the people.  Their compassion, sensitivity, and willingness to share – so many good things made the difference.  I have never been to a place like this.  I just wish that there were 10,000 places like this through out the country.  I hope there will be.  Thanks everyone very much!!!

I called this man six months after his visit just to see how he was doing.  He was getting better and stronger as well as he stayed with the lifestyle.  The great news was; he was healing naturally and wholly with all of his body parts intact!!!  I hope there are 10,000,000 and more places all over the world offering the truth of natural health and healing by promoting the “Living Plant Food Life Style!!!”  One lady said, “I would never have one of those operations because I couldn’t find any shoes to go with the bag.”

SAVED FROM EYE-REMOVAL SURGERY!!!
The tumor in my eye is still reducing in size.  It is not real fast but noticeable; it took awhile to grow, so I know it will take awhile to completely get rid of it.  I know now after being at OHI for three weeks that I can heal myself by following the program.  I have called and canceled the surgery to have my eye removed and will make an appointment to see the doctor next month to see what he says.  I know he’s in for a shock and will wonder what I have done!!!

LOWERS CHOLESTEROL 100 POINTS IN TWO WEEKS!!!
I have two antidotes to share.  I was here two weeks back in August.  I had never been to a chiropractor before but I was so impressed with the doctor’s presentation I went to see him.  I had low back pain for twenty years from sports injuries and a herniated disk.  They wanted to operate on me twenty years ago but I wouldn’t let them do it.  I lived with the pain for twenty years.  Two visits with the chiropractor – the pain was gone.  It’s now five and a half months later – the pain has not come back.  But, that’s not the main anecdote.  When I came with my buddy last August, I didn’t realize that I had a health opportunity.  I thought I was just along for the ride to support him.  He asks the group, “Are there any skeptics here?” I was.  This is directed to the skeptics.  I have evidence – medical, scientific, laboratory evidence of my own situation.  Before I came in August, I had all the lab work done for a routine physical examination.  My doctor had been leaning on me because it had been five years since I had one.  I didn’t pay attention because I was so busy.  The day before I came here, I did all this lab work for this physical exam.  The actual physical was not scheduled until after my return from OHI.  I was completing my first week at OHI when my wife called to give me this news.  When my doctor received my lab test results, he was so concerned about my cholesterol level (249) that he didn’t want me to wait for the exam to advise me to, “Get on a low fat diet immediately.”  We had a good laugh – talk about following doctor’s orders.  I had already dropped about 8 lbs. in the first eight days!!!  I said to my buddy, “Do you think it would be tuff to go on a low fat diet around here?”  It was funny.  That posed a question for me.  I had never had a cholesterol problem before.  When I get back, I’m going to do those tests all over again.  We stayed two weeks.  I went back and did the tests all over again.  A week later, I had my physical.  The doctor walked in the exam room with a look of shock on his face.  He was holding my lab results in one hand and the new lab results in the other hand and he said to me, “How in the hell did you do this?”  I said, “What’d I do—what’d I do?”  He said, “You dropped you’re cholesterol 100 points in two weeks – How???”  I gave him the brochure to OHI.  He was amazed.  He wanted to know what it was all about.  I told him that it was a nutrition program based on raw food.  I have the before and after tests results.  That made a believer out of me.   After just two weeks at OHI – my cholesterol had dropped 100 points!!!  The LDL vs. HDL ratio was normal as well.  The before and after tests prove to me the program works!!!

LIVER CANCER CONQUERED – ROCKET SCIENTIST KEEPS SCORE!!!
I’m compelled to tell you this story.  This is scary but I think you need to hear this story.  About six years ago, we met some friends while vacationing.  He was a rocket scientist.  He worked on the ignition systems of the rockets that went to the moon.  His wife had cancer – terminal liver cancer – not many people have survived liver cancer.  She came to OHI and is fine today.  Now, the other part of the story is my wife’s youngest brother’s daughter had a 10-pound tumor removed from her abdomen – 13 hours on the operating table.  They were literally scraping this tumor off her vital organs clear down into her leg but they didn’t get it all.  There was to be a second operation but none of the family felt good about it.  The little gal unbeknown to the family was saying good-bye to her home, her friends and everything.  She was scheduled to go in the hospital the next day to have this operation.  Here came a tap on the door.  It was our friend that had been here.  When they told our friend the story, the first thing she asked was, “has she had chemo?”  They said, “No.” She said, “thank-goodness.”  And so, instead of going the next day to the hospital – she came here – stayed for two weeks and she is fine today – end of story!!!  We don’t have any serious health challenges that we know of, but we have lots of friends who are keeling over with cancer and heart disease and everything else.  Now, my rocket scientist friend – I wanted to tell you what he said about friends our age (65-75), “I’ve been keeping score around here.  30 of our friends have had cancer over the years – there are only two of them that are still alive – and they’re the ones that came to the Optimum Health Institute!!!”

OFF BLOOD PRESSURE & DIABETIC MEDICINE IN JUST THREE DAYS!!!
I had been on high blood pressure medicine for over twenty years and on diabetic medicine for twenty years.  I took the doctor’s advice.  I did diet and exercise.  I did all they told me.  A year and a half ago, I had an accident and had to stop my water-aerobics.  My weight, my blood pressure shot up.  I was going down hill.  I was listless.  Then, about three weeks ago, I was talking with my son who told me about this place.  He had just finished his second week here.  He said, “Dad, this is the place for you.”  I was on the plane that next Sunday.  I carried my blood pressure and diabetes medicine with me so I wouldn’t fail.  I was taking my measurements while here.  On the 11th of December, my blood pressure was 126/78 on medication.  My blood sugar was 132.  On the 12th, it was down a little bit.  Sugar was 128.  On the 13th, blood pressure was 109/76 but the sugar was up to 133.  I gambled and went off the blood pressure medicine and it went up to 151/91.  The blood sugar dropped to 107 because I went off the diabetic medicine.  Every since that day it’s been going down.  On the 15th, it was 132/80 and the sugar was 119.  Today, (22nd) it was 114/77 and the sugar was 88.  I cut out my medicine completely a week and a half ago.  Figures don’t lie – it works!!!

In only three days that man was able to stop using medications he had been taking for 20 years.  He is a computer programmer and very meticulous with his notes, figures and graphs.  He had been graphing his blood pressure and sugar levels for years.  As he said, “Figures don’t lie – it works” – he held up his impeccable charts and graphs.  This is awesome “rawsome” proof positive that “Living Plant Foods” should be our main medicine.  It is sure insanity to believe that one can become healthy injecting solutions and using lotions, potions, powders, and pills.  This was so heart warming for me as I was doing the program with him.  In fact, that morning I received my third “OHI Certificate of Graduation” having completed the entire 3 weeks for my third time.  It gets even better.  He came back six months later for a little tune up.  He still wasn’t using any medications.  He brought with him a video of his skydive.  He had dreamed of skydiving for years but was not physically able to do so before OHI – this man was in his mid seventies and jumping out of airplanes!!!  Following is his daughter’s testimonial.  She came between her dad’s visits.

NEW OPTION FOR BREAST CANCER CONQUEROR!!!
I am here as an act of God – I truly believe that.  I have been a breast cancer survivor for five years.  I can tell you I have gone through everything.  I was first diagnosed in 1996.  We started chemo.  I think the doctors wanted to do everything to me.  I have gone through surgeries.  The hardest procedure was a stem-cell transplant that knocks out your whole immune system.  They would only let me see my kids if I wore gowns and masks.  It took a year to recover but I survived that.  About a year and four months later, I had a relapse.  They found it in my spine and back in the original scar.  They started radiation for my back this time.  There was more surgery.  My back did feel better after five treatments but he suggested more chemotherapy.  He thought he saw spots on my lungs.  I was clear for a while.  A new genetic treatment came out and I was the first to get that.  They said I had a genetic problem.  I had been doing pretty good until last March and they found it in my brain.  This time we did 10 treatments of radiation – so there goes my hair – it all went out again.  Then I was doing OK till October of this year (2000).  I’ve been praying.  I said GOD – I need another way to go.  I don’t want to go back to no immune system.  All science says we need our immune system.  Why are doctors killing us by killing our immune systems with chemo and radiation?  I had three options because I was on the Internet all the time looking for different options to deal with this.  One was more chemo.  I had found clinical trials where they kill you with chemo.  The second was some very expensive treatments at $4000.00 a treatment.  Then all the sudden, I got this phone call from my dad.  He was here over Christmas; he was ecstatic; he lost 20 pounds and he was completely off six different prescription drug medications.  He was feeling wonderful and all excited.  So, after about three phone calls telling me about this – all the sudden, a check showed up in the mail.  My brother sends me a ticket and then a sister-in-law I had never met before offered to share a room with me.  She has just been a blessing and started the family chain to come up here.  So with everything falling into place, I thought I would be stupid not to fly out here.  It’s been a wonderful experience.  I chose this option number three and I am very happy that I did.  I am feeling very well.  My sister-in-law said I look perky.  I am just hoping that the doctor will bat his eyes a couple of times.  Well, what were you doing?  If I tell him, “I am eating raw food.”  Maybe the medical field will get into this.  We can pray that way.  This has been such a blessing and everybody has been so wonderful.  I am more convinced that we are all created in GOD’s image.  In the Garden of Eden all they were eating was fruits and vegetables.

ACQUIRES SENSE OF SMELL!!!
I came 3 weeks ago.  I barely crawled in.  I really didn’t think I was going to come out alive.  I am so grateful now to be able to do the exercises.  I run up the hill.  My back is loosening up.  I am so grateful for the health I have right now.  I know I still have a long way to go, but man have I made progress in just three weeks.  I diagnosed myself in 1998 with a condition of iron overload disease that the medical profession knows very little about but it is the most common genetic disease in the country.  So, talk about a lot of anger.  When I figured it out through the computer, the lady on the iron over load web site really helped walk me through the ropes to figure out my diagnoses.  I had so much anger; I almost took this one doctor’s license from him for some of the things he had done to me.  He didn’t know what he was doing.  I’ve worked through a lot of forgiveness.  I still have some anger inside because my liver was damaged because of ignorance.  The tests were right in front of his big fat nose in 1992.  There is a lot of anger there for me but I am still working on that.  I am so grateful to be where I am now.  This has taught me to take my own power back.  I will never again hand my life over to a doctor or anybody else and just say, “Here it is.”  I will always stay involved.  One thing I’ve really learned about health care providers – if they do not empower you to take care of yourself – in my eyes there history.  The mark of a good health care provider and there are many out there but you really have to search for them.  I still need the medical profession to monitor my iron levels.  I am totally de-ironed now and I’m here to rebuild my organs.  It is working because I can feel it inside.  I, now wake up at 5:30 in the morning.  I used to sleep till 9 or 10.  I feel good at 5:30.  I get up, exercise, and shower – you know I’ve made major progress.  There’s one other thing I wanted to share.  I have never been able to smell in my life.  I just never have had that sense.  After my first enema and implant, I went to the WheatGrass!!! room.  You may think that WheatGrass!!! smells awful – but it was the most beautiful fragrance that I ever smelled because I had never smelled before!!!  I was like – I was like “my God.”  I can smell.  Is this how it works?  It tastes like it smells.  I was sitting there and people were going, well it’s pretty strong.  No you don’t understand; I have no sense of smell.  I was trilled.  It didn’t stay.  It came again the second week.  It happened again.  I am so full of hope that one day I will be able to smell a flower or food.  Thank you!!!

CONQUERS LUNG CANCER – MAKES DECISIONS BASED ON LOVE!!!
This is my second time here.  On December the 9th 1999, I was diagnosed with lung cancer that had metastasized from my right breast.  My lungs were absolutely filled 80%.  Also there was a big lump where it was before.  My limp nodes were also involved.  To make matters worse, in January, I came down with the flu and a very bad internal infection.  I was taken to the hospital.  I was there for 5 days.  I almost died.  That night I almost died – I was very much at peace.  Part of me was concerned and part me was excited because I thought – well, I’m going to go “home” and I will be better.  GOD chose otherwise.  That morning I woke up to the most beautiful, beautiful sunrise outside my window.  I was on the 7th floor.  I looked at it and it was as if GOD was saying in my heart – I have a new beginning for you and HE did!!!  To make a long story short, we found OHI.  I was very weak when I came, but I was on the mends.  Through all this, I had found two wonderful doctors who had decided I was beyond chemo and beyond radiation.  They put me on very low doses of medications.  It was almost like a placebo.  One doctor told my family I had only four to six months to live, another maybe six to eight months.  I decided first of all not to make any decisions out of fear.  Don’t make decisions if you possibly can based on fear because they are usually wrong.  Decisions have to be based on LOVE!!!  Secondly to all this, I learned to surrender – I learned to surrender to GOD!!!  I was flat on my back.  I could do absolutely nothing for myself.  My body was shutting down and I was worried about my husband, my children, and my finances – ridicules – so I gave it all to the LORD and I have not taken it back.  I refuse to become anxious, absolutely.  I will not allow it in my life and it can be done.  It is a decision of the will and GOD will help you.  Well, I came here for two weeks.  I came to the classes but I slept through most of them.  I had every intention of listening, but oh my goodness I slept – it was wonderful.  I slept at night.  By the third week, I started to perk up and I was able to do the exercises.  I went home and I have taken the WheatGrassJuice!!! everyday since then.  I have done the program to the best of my ability.  Here I am the second time – OHI was my provision from GOD.  It’s a wonderful place.  Don’t blow it.  Stick with it.   IT WORKS!!!  That was December of 1999, a year and two months ago – I was virtually pronounced dead.  I am growing stronger and stronger!!!

ALIVE SEVEN YEARS AFTER TOLD HAD ONLY TWO YEARS TO LIVE!!!
I wonder if this is the first time you’ve had two inflammatory breast cancers in a row but I also had inflammatory breast cancer.  I just want people to know I was told I only had two years to live no matter what you do – you’re dead – but – here I am alive and well seven years later!!!  Well, first I want to thank the Lord.  He’s the one that directed me and showed me where to go and what to do.  I was having a hard time after having chemo and then radiation.  I prayed with my husband.  We prayed and we got chlorophyll – which lead us to WheatGrass!!! – which lead us to OHI.  That first time was very hard for me because every time I moved my bones would break, but I would get up and down.  I couldn’t do the exercises but had someone with me so I could push myself through that.  This is my third time here.  Each time that I come – I’m better – I’m better and better!!!  The Lord has kept me.  This has been the mainstay of my life.  It has kept me alive and I am happy!!!  The side affects have just been phenomenal.  Now, I can get up and get down and move around easily.  I also had an infection that was part of the many issues going on with me.  My husband had the weight problem.  He came and he got rid of that.  He got rid of a tumor.  He had mucus.  He was on steroids.  He’s gone home and he’s happy.  He stays on the program better that I do.  I am just really happy to be here!!!

If there is ever a time you don’t want to follow doctor’s orders it’s when they tell you, “You have ‘six months’ or ‘two years to live’.”  They have no right scaring people to death like that.  A true healer gives hope and knows that most any condition may be Healed with LOVE!!! and Wisdom.  It is up to GOD and you how long you will live.

THYROID TUMOR SHRINKS FROM 8 CM TO 2 IN JUST 3 WEEKS!!!
I feel like I have an obligation.  I want you to know – this program works.  My obligation is and people told me I really needed to do this and that’s why I am sitting here.  Five years ago, I was at my holistic doctor with a really bad case of strep throat.  He was doing the neck thing, feeling the lymph and he found this huge lump in my thyroid.  He freaked out.  I was watching this guy freak out right in front of me.  I am calmer than he is.  He said, “You have to go to the hospital right away and have this tested.  This could be really devastating and you have to take care of it immediately.”  I went to the hospital and I’m thinking it’s no big deal.  It was just this lump growing there.  That is what they found out.  It was this lump just growing there.  It was some kind of – I don’t know what they called it, a calcium nodular, some kind of nodular.  It grew bigger and bigger as time progressed.  Then three months ago, I got another condition in my thyroid and it was called thyroiditis.  Thyroiditis is just like any itis; it is inflammation of that area.  My gland was seven times its normal size.  My neck was gigantic.  It was like a water balloon.  If I pushed it, the whole thing moved back and forth.  I was really, really sick for three months.  I went to this doctor because when it first came on, I wasn’t sure what happened.  I thought maybe one of my kids hit me in the middle of the night with an elbow or a leg or something and my neck was just sore.  I really noticed it when I was hugging people.  It didn’t go away after two weeks.  I looked in the mirror and I touched it.  I realized, my GOD, it’s that tumor thing coming at me again and I better get it looked at.  I went back to the doctor.  It was thyroiditis.  It was something I just had to wait for it to run its course.  It was a message to me.  I needed to do something.  It was yelling at me.  You have ignored me long enough and now I am going to get nasty with you.  My body temperature was going from 96 degrees to 105 degrees.  I had no energy.  I did the nuclear medicine.  I did all the x-rays and scans.  I had biopsies done.  The doctor’s said, “You really need to have your thyroid removed.  It was really hard to biopsy.”  I was contemplating, if thyroiditis totally ruined my thyroid and it doesn’t function and I have this thing, this 8 cm thing then go ahead and take it out.  I don’t want it.  I’ll take a pill the rest of my life.  So, I came here with this huge nodular in my neck.  It’s gotten smaller and smaller – you can’t even see it now!!!  It’s gone from eight cm to two.  It’s very small in just three weeks.  I want you to know that there’s healing in the Universe.  It’s out there for the taking.  It is just a matter of what you embrace.  There’re a lot of other things that have been happening.  I know there have been a lot of people that have prayed for me and I really appreciate that.  I have a lot of gratitude.  I am very grateful.  I want to give the message of knowledge that if you do have a challenge – a health opportunity – there’s healing in the Universe – it’s yours, you can have it if you embrace it.  Embrace it for all it is worth.  Embrace everything to get you what you need to have, and where you need to be with your health, your life, and with your Spirituality.  That’s it, that’s my story.

She had a photo of the growth that was on her neck and we passed it around; it added great credibility.  The camera captures what is; it does not interpret, nor can it lie.  (This was pre Photo Shop.)  I examined her closely after the testimonials.  Just as she had stated – it was barley visible.  Almost wholly healed in just three weeks – WOW!!!  This is great news!!!  Remember, she was so close to having her thyroid surgically removed.  The surgery could have removed the symptoms – OHI detoxified the causes and the body healed the symptoms naturally!!!

LEG BRACE NO LONGER NEEDED AFTER ONLY FOUR DAYS!!!
Three or four months ago, I went to the doctor.  I couldn’t really walk anymore.  I have a herniated disk and something happened to my leg in addition to the herniated disk.  I couldn’t explain what it was.  I went to the doctor.  He took x-rays and he didn’t know what it was either.  It was just a lot of pain.  Since I had cancer 13 years ago, I was scared.  I thought something was happening.  I had another pain in my back and then my shoulders were hurting.  Also, when I came, I couldn’t turn my head very well.  These glands here were extremely swollen and I didn’t know what was wrong with that either.  I was going to the doctor a lot and was tired of going to the doctor, even though I knew about this program.  I had sent three people here and I had seen some good results.  I thought I need that; I really need that.  The last thing that happens to me before I came here three weeks ago was; I couldn’t walk with my left leg because it felt like the bones had a big hole or something.  The pain was like having a nail stuck in my foot or ankle.  It got to be really unbearable.  I was in bed all the time.  I went to see the doctor.  He put a brace on me.  He told me I’d be OK in a week that my bones look fine in the x-ray.  A week later, I was still wearing the brace.  I went back and the pain hadn’t changed.  Another week later, it hadn’t changed.  I still had a problem with my back and I could hardly walk from that and now I have this.  “That’s it,” I told my husband.  We had talked about my coming to this program and this time I said, “I have to go.”  I don’t really have a choice or I’m going to end up in a wheel chair.  We had gone to Wal*Mart and I used a wheelchair.  I hated that.  I told him, it’s horrible being in a wheelchair, especially at my age.  Four days after I arrived here, I was able to take the brace off.  I intend to take the program with me because I’m going to experience healing.  I really want to share this program with many people and my family.  I feel the only way that I can really share the program, other than my coming here is for me to be a really good example.  I am very determined to take the program with me.  I have learned some wonderful recipes.  I have tasted some delicious food.  You guys might not realize how delicious the food can be, but on Friday of your second week, you will taste something incredible.  The food is delicious and it is palatable.  I think we have destroyed our taste buds because of the way we spice up our food.

PAIN RELIEF FROM ABSCESSED TOOTH!!!
I had to go to the dentist.  I had an abscessed tooth.  It was so painful.  I couldn’t stand it.  I went up to him and he says, “I won’t do a thing with that tooth because of its condition.  You’re going to have to go to a specialist.”  I called the specialist.  It was going to be a few days before I could get the appointment, but I was in pain.  I decided this was it.  I went on my juice fast and I prayed and I worked hard.  Everybody else was eating the other food.  I didn’t eat a thing.  I kept on that juice fast.  I worked hard.  I didn’t lose my energy because you gain more energy when you have nothing but juice and water in your body.  The pain went away!!!  I was so thankful.  I had fasted before for many other things but never had I thought I could get rid of a toothache.

BREAST AND BONE CANCER CONQUERED!!!
A little over six months ago, I was diagnosed with a very rare cancer.  It was inflammatory breast cancer.  I was told it was highly aggressive.  I was also told I should start chemo right away because an operation was out of the question at this time, have an operation, later start chemo again, then radiation.  I was given a forty percent chance of survival.  I’m not much of a gambler.  I thought 40 percent.  I thought well, out of ten people, that means four people make it and you are not very lucky if you are the fifth.  Anyway, I had a lot of decisions to make.  I prayed about it.  I felt very calm about taking the alternative route and that’s where my journey started here at Optimum Health.  I continued the program.  I took it a long way and each time I stayed here 3 weeks.  I continued my program and along the way I had cancer tests.  When you’re living with highly aggressive cancer, approaching markers show you the cancer.  Sometimes it’s good, sometimes bad.  The counts had reached 150.  My oncologist said, “Are you ready?”  Out of fear, I signed up for the chemo.  I woke up Monday morning; there was a huge blizzard so I canceled my chemo and went to bed.  A week later, I set it up again but I had the worst abscessed tooth in the whole world so I canceled my chemo again.  I set it up for the third week but clued in somebody is trying to tell me something.  That’s when I started my journey.  I continued my journey down here.  I came back to Optimum Health and stayed for a whole month working very hard with the program.  I learned about nutrition.  I learned about exercise and I continued with the whole program.  I worked my but off, up every morning exercising, doing the WheatGrass!!! – I didn’t miss an implant.  I counted my blessings.  I realized that we are given these incredible bodies.  I used the “cancel-cancel.”  I signed on as a working guest because I decided I needed this healing environment.  I needed to continue on.  I kept going even though I am getting pressure from the family who LOVE!!! me dearly.  They wanted to know what the heck I’m doing here.  I went back to my doctors and had all the tests again.  Before, I did the tests, I counted my blessings.  I had lost 65 lbs.  I had more energy than I felt in high school.  I had mentally decided I was going to live no matter what the doctors say and I let go of my fear.  It’s amazing how your body responds – I could feel it clicking in when I let go of this fear.  I went back and did the tests.  My bone scans were clear!!!  In fact, it was really interesting.  I was talking to the doctor, he said, “Well, put it this way, if people with breast cancer have bones as good as yours, we wouldn’t have any problems.”  My bone cancer – my bone scans were clear.  All my blood tests were clear.  My cancer count, yes I’m happy with that, my cancer test; its called a CA-15 had dropped half.  My oncologist, who I’ve been shocking for six months who usually says, “OK, are you going to start chemo now?”  This time, she sat down and said, “Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it.”  Let go of the fear and know that your body will heal itself.  I have to publicly thank, first of all my FATHER in heaven for the many blessings for which I have received.  Then, I would like to thank Optimum Health for giving me this experience and thank you for letting me share it with you.  Thank You!!!

80# GONE – ARTHRITIS RELIEVED – OFF MEDICATION – NEW CAREER!!!
This is our testimony.  Trust – indeed we must, conceive, believe, achieve, and receive the help and healing we need!!!  This great lady sitting next to me has made some wonderful transformations in her life.  How we came to meet, once again proves the timeless adage, “When the student is ready – the Universe provides the teacher.”  One guest said she was moved – that Special Forces brought her here.  Whatever brought you here, a 14th cousin removed told you or however you heard about it – you are meant to be here and you are meant to be well.  Because of this, I know that whatsoever and/or whosoever brought you here – you are a victor over and not a victim of your symptoms and conditions.  Our story is a great example of that and this.  This lovely woman and I met July 1998.  I was attending the Kenneth Copeland Ministries “Believers Voice of Victory Campaign” in Anaheim, CA.  There were 12,000 people in attendance.  There were eight or nine people behind the registration counter when I handed in my registration card.  As I’m walking away, I hear this jolly enthusiastic, “Hey, I’m from Lemon Grove.”  I turned around to see her waving and smiling.  I walked back to the counter and asked her, “Now do you read every one of those?”  She said, “Well you-know, I look at a few of them.”  This was the Omen – the Super-Natural-Sign – the Worldly Wonder – the “Serendipitous Series of Synchrodestinies!!!”  I always carry OHI brochures with me everywhere I go but I don’t go round handing them out indiscriminately to just anybody.  If they’re not “ready,” they’ll just trash it anyway.  I must be given an omen (“there will be signs and wonders”) that tells me you are ready and I should give you a brochure.  The omen was; I can still hear that enthusiastic voice, “Hey, I’m from Lemon Grove.”  I wouldn’t have given her a brochure had she not done that.  When I handed her the brochure, she got this look of shock on her face and said, “I live right down the hill from that place.”  My neighbors and I have wondered and talked about that place.  We thought it was some kind of cult or something.”  Isn’t it amazing how she and I were seeking and serving GOD and were so serendipitously rewarded???  Now, her story!!!

Isn’t David such a blessing – I just LOVE!!! him so much!!!  The reason I thought it was a cult was because the brochure David gave me said, “We eat live food.”  I thought, “Live food,” I could see blood pulling chickens apart and all that kind of stuff.  I thought it was a cult.  I really did.  If I had gotten that brochure anyplace else, I would have thrown it away.  I thought, no, no, David is at a Christian convention; he can’t be into satanism.  I thought, well I’ll just come up for the Sunday Open House.  The line in the brochure that got my attention was, “We believe that if you do right by your body, it will heal itself.”  I am a lawyer in two states; I had closed my practice because I was so sick.  I thought I was dying.  I was giving up.  I could hardly walk.  If I went to a place like an airport or a theme park, I had to use a wheel chair.  I couldn’t walk.  I couldn’t get up those back stairs.  I used to have to drive my car in the back and then walk all the way around the greenhouse because I couldn’t get up the stairs.  I had pain all over my body.  I used to take from 9-12 aspirin a day.  I’d take aspirins when I’d get up in the morning, and before I went to bed.  The doctor said it was arthritis but if it was, I know I had parasites but whatever it was – it certainly is gone.  I don’t know what it was, but whatever it was – it is gone!!!  And now, I play basketball with my grandson.  I have races with my grandkids.  They beat me but I still have races with them.  I came here and I just got healed.  I got marvelously healed.  My cholesterol has gone down.  My blood pressure went down.  That was 15 months ago.  I came four times, one week each in July, August, September, and November.  I kept trying to do the program at home.  If you don’t do it all the way, don’t give up on yourself.  It’s like David kept telling me; it’s like a big wheel and each time you do a little more and a little more and each time that wheel goes around, you are a little closer to the top of the hill.  Last march, I started working here.  I got hired and started working in the store.  In the mean time, I have lost, I mean extricated, extricated, gotten rid of 80 pounds – 80 pounds!!!  These are the pants I was wearing when I came 15 months ago and these are the cloths I wear now.  So, this is what 80 pounds looks like.  (This was a most convincing demonstration; the before pants were 3 times the size.)  People don’t lose weight at OHI because they don’t want to ever find it again.  Instead they “get rid of” or better yet, they extricate it forever!!!  Another thing is I had to go on early Social Security because I was so sick.  I wasn’t able to work anymore.  Well, last Monday I got a supercalafragilisticexpealadoshes job.  A real job making lots of money in my profession as in house council for a great organization!!!  I have to go off Social Security.  The funny thing was when I went on Social Security; I had to take low pay to get early Social Security.  I was 62; I’m now 63.  I found out the clock is going to start over for me again.  In other words, I have to pay Social Security again because I’ll have a good paying job.  Then, I won’t be on my 62 base, which is a penalty.  I go to the next base under the new law at 65 where you can make all the money you want and still receive full Social Security benefits.  So, the clock has started all over for me on Social Security.  That’s what comes from coming to this place. I got extremely healed!!!  I was marvelously healed so stay with it people.  Stay with it!!! Skeptics will say questioningly, “You mean you are going to eat those little mung beans and get healthy?”  Well, we used think a pill could make us healthy.  I used to take bottles and bottles of vitamins of this and that and maybe they helped keep me alive.  If those pills kept me alive, how much more the mung beans, the E&I’s, and this kind of stuff will do for you.  Thank you, David for bringing me here.  When I first came, there was no way I could have worked at the store.  I was just not physically able.  I got all the equipment.  By the way, you can’t do the program unless you have the equipment.  Then David helped me get my job.  He talked to the store manager and helped me get my job.  One of the things the store manager kept saying was, “Can you lift 35 pounds?”  And, now the store manager says, “Stop it; use the cart; don’t pick up so much stuff.”  Now, I just grab and go.  They keep saying; you look so great; you look so wonderful.  You don’t see your own changes but other people that haven’t seen you for a while can see those changes.  I’m two years older than I was when I took out my insurance – but because my vitals signs are so great now – I got my insurance premiums lowered.  Yes, yes, my insurance premiums were lowered because my vital signs are so healthy!!!

There’s a moral to this story – carry brochures with you – you might just help transform somebody’s life!!!  The greater moral is that we need to passionately promote a “Natural Live/Raw Plant Food Life Style!!!”  The “Natural Live/Raw Plant Food Life” should be promoted, sold and marketed with more money — with greater enthusiasm and imagination than baseball, basketball, football, hockey, hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, dairy, cola, candy, chips, alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs, nutritional supplements, packaged fad diets, and cheap exercise equipment combined.  Yes, even professional sports must be continually promoted to stay alive.  Please remember when telling people about the program and saying “Live Foods” to include the word(s) plant or vegetarian living and raw foods!!!  Say: “RAW PLANT POWER!!!”  (Believe it or not, some people actually think eating “raw foods” includes raw animal products???)  Some have even questioned, “You eat raw meat?”

PARKINSON’S PATIENT WRITES AGAIN!!!
The following testimonial is most inspiring for me.  Here is a condition “they” say there’s little or nothing you can do anything about.  Drugs may help some but mostly you just have to live with it as it gets worse.”  That’s such bull.  There is something you can do about it – here’s proof.  Monday morning, this guest was on the floor shaking severely; many phone calls were made attempting to decide the appropriate action to take considering his situation.  Remember, the only requirement of OHI is that one must be able to care for themselves.  We thought we would have to send him home.  Fortunately, we discovered he had a friend who lived close by.  In minutes he was here to pick him up off the floor and walk him to his room.  Somehow, with great determination and “a little help from my friends” he was able to continue with the program.  Now, his story!!!

I have been a volunteer here two months now.  I highly recommend the working guest program.  I am a Parkinson’s patient and have been for twenty years.  It’s a symptomatic disease.  I haven’t run into anybody who has gotten over it but – I believe that I can!!!  I’ve gotten so much relief from this program.  I have been able to reacquire my ability to write without medication after 10 years – that’s pretty phenomenal!!!  15 years ago, I was a nursing student and right when I finished class, I lost my ability to write.  All the head nurses thought I had gone alcoholic or something.  I was standing in the hallway shaking.  They thought it was the DT’s or something.  I’ve got arthritis in my spine and in my hands.  That’s going away.  The real amazing thing is that I’m not totally on the program yet.  A lot of the good results that I’ve had are just from being here.  It has more to do with what I’m not doing rather than what I am doing.  I gave up coffee.  I gave up chocolate.  I’ve been a thirty-year vegetarian.  I made my living as a vegetarian cook in my own restaurant.  My goal here is pretty much to save my own skin but I also believe this is the way people should live.

Many times outside my office window, I would see this man walking tall, straight, and proud.  I would comment to whoever was there, “Look at him, if you didn’t know his so called “diagnosed condition,” you wouldn’t know would you?  “Know what,” would be the response?  They say he has Parkinson’s disease.  His first day here, a friend of his had to pick him up off the floor and help him home.  Look at him now, you can’t even tell!!!

I will always remember one man in his seventies with Parkinson’s.  He shook so severely he couldn’t drink from a cup without slopping it all over himself.  After the three weeks, his testimonial was steadily drinking a full cup of water without spilling a drop.  He said, “I never dreamed it possible to feel this good and make the progress I have made with my Parkinson’s symptoms.”  When I gave him his graduation certificate, I asked him, “Fred, how many times have the doctors told you that nothing could be done about your shaking?”  He shook his fists and complained, “They make me soooo mad.”

BROKEN HEART FILLED WITH HOPE, JOY, AND LOVE!!!
I am compelled to tell my story.  The doctors don’t know what is wrong with me.  They have treated me for several maladies and I don’t know what to think about it.  I decided after listening to these people talk that I have a broken heart and this broken heart is beginning to heal here by the LOVE!!! support, help, and struggles that are around me.  I heard James Taylor singing a song, “I’m your handy man.”  He said, “I fix broken hearts and I’m busy 24 hours a day – fixing broken hearts.”  Mine has been mended and I am so happy.  I have hope; my heart is filled with hope, joy and LOVE!!! and it’s all from OHI.  I want to thank everybody and let you know there’s hope for healing a broken heart!!!

LOWERS BLOOD SUGAR WITH NO MEDICATION!!!
I was here many years ago, a few years ago, and this time I came just to slow down.  I am diabetic and for the last couple of years I had taken a couple of pills a day.  The last two and a half days – three days actually, I haven’t taken one pill and my sugar is below normal.  I’m a little worried it’s going to go under to tell you the truth.  I don’t feel as depressed as before because I know that’s the menopause and that’s really helping the hormones.  I just know that I need more time here.  I need more time so good luck everybody.  Thank You!!!

LEARNS TO LET GO AND HEALS!!!
I’m finishing my third week.  I am truly grateful for coming here.  I have met some really beautiful people.  I came here at a pivotal point where my health opportunity had cropped up due to another trauma.  I knew that I was dealing with a cancer situation that was hooked in trauma.  I couldn’t turn it around at that point.  I didn’t want to do what all the conventional people were telling me I had to do.  I hadn’t gone that route for a while but it was starting to look like I had to now.  I was feeling very pressured and hopeless.  I felt like I had to do it their way.  I wanted to do it my way but my way felt like an island.  I was putting this enormous amount of pressure on myself to stay on this road that felt right.  It was exhausting me.  Then, I came here through a lot of synchronicity, which I felt was guidance.  I found knowledge here I had before but just wasn’t using.  I knew alpha.  I knew this; I knew that; but it didn’t matter because I wasn’t doing it.  Of course, I wasn’t eating this way either.  People say, “You’ve lost weight”.  “Do you think I’m here to lose weight” – not to put that down, but I had to be even more motivated than that.  Losing weight was a great side benefit.  I did – I lost weight.  The point I really got besides all these tools, support and motivation was being able to figure out how to let go.  I didn’t know how I was supposed to let go when holding on and using my will was the only thing that was keeping me alive.  I am planning on taking this program home and doing the whole thing – growing the WheatGrass!!! and everything.  The most important thing I’m taking home is – it’s not going to happen from my will; that, this enormous pressure I’ve been exerting on myself was more toxic than what I was eating.  I am so grateful because I didn’t know how to get it before.  I wish you all everything you need – there’s such beautiful energy here and I really bless you all.  So, thanks a lot!!!

PILL PUSHING PHARMACIST SEES PAIN OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS!!!
I first started “pushing pills” to people whose lives were going down hill in 1967.  I’ve been a pharmacist for way to long.  From that position, I have seen and felt the pain of people taking chemical drugs.  I, with that awareness, was always looking and searching both for my health and for relief from stress related issues.  You kill someone if you make a mistake as a pharmacist.  So, in all my many travels, I finally came here.  I’ve been very impressed.  The quality of education is fantastic.  As far as I look and gain awareness, I haven’t seen anything better.  Where could it go beyond what we learn here at OHI???  For me, it’s several things but mainly just one – watching sugars.  When we clean out our system, we feel how sugars can impact our moods.  It’s beautiful and again the education is great – I am just so grateful for everything that’s here.  Thanks!!!

BEAUTIFULLY TRANSFORMED – PEOPLE RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!
I think one of the greatest testimonials to this place is people do come back again and again.  This is really a mountain top experience and we all know that you can’t pitch your tent and live at the top of the mountain but at least you know where it is.  When you want to get to the mountain, you know where to go.  That’s what this place offers me.  I came for the first time about five years ago and have been returning every year.  I just want to support and encourage those of you who are going to go home and not find it as easy as you find it here.  Even if you do a quarter of what you do here – it’s a quarter more than you did before you came.  Our blessed humanness doesn’t allow us to be perfect. This program, like all life, is about progress, not perfection.  People are transformed and become more beautiful – slimmer, but more beautiful on the inside.  That’s part of the beauty, so I want to acknowledge you for all the progress you’ve made – we’re all a testimonial that the program works.  I just want to encourage you to LOVE!!! yourself and accept yourself when you’re not doing all that you plan to do because I think that’s really part of the program.  The whole mental detox is to be gentle with yourself and learn to embrace your faults rather than condemn them or feel guilty about them.

One guest put it this way, “When I stopped making food and weight the issues and started accepting, forgiving and LOVING!!! myself just as I AM, the pounds melted away like snow in the springtime sunshine!!!”  Bring it into the now???

PRAYERS ANSWERED AND FEVER GONE!!!
I came here because of a health opportunity.  I prayed about it.  I asked what should I do, what should I do?  I knew what I wanted to do but that’s not what western medicine tells you to do.  I’ve had a lot of experience with alternative medicine through out my life.  I prayed and prayed.  The next morning after really praying about it, a friend of mine called and said, “You’ve got to go to this place – OHI.”  I called and asked a million and one questions.  I got on the Internet and did the whole investigative background check.  I thought this all sounds really interesting, an enema everyday – and you want me to put WheatGrassJuice!!! where?  I thought, check it out.  This should be good.  I first thought, I’m going to stay for one week, and then I thought two weeks would be better.  Then, I thought, why not just go for the three weeks – a gift to myself and really take care of what I’m going through.  If you’re going to go do it – do it – just do it!!!  For two solid weeks straight before I came here, I had a fever everyday.  I didn’t know why or what was going on.  They say when you have fever; you have some bacteria in you body or something going on.  I talked to my doctor and he said, “It’s common with what you’re going through to have a fever.”  Well, I don’t take aspirin – I never have.  It’s just like me to go lay down and rest.  He’s said, “If it gets to 101, then you have something to worry about.”  It got to 100.4-100.5.  Since I’ve been here – I haven’t had a fever.  I don’t know everything else that’s going on with my body but I feel great.  I am looking forward to more and more results!!!

VISION IMPROVED – HAY FEVER GONE – SWOLLEN GLANDS FLAT!!!
I’m 71 years old.  I’ve been here several times before but I’ve been slow about putting the program into effect 100%.  This time I’m happy to say that my sweetheart is here with me.  We’re very excited.  I think that with her support, I’m going to get this thing running 100%.  The reason I came here to start with many years ago was; I read a book by Ann Wigmore.  At that time I thought, if I ever get cancer – I’m not doing the insanity of chemotherapy.  Well, low and behold, many years later, I got that diagnoses and I came here.  Even though I haven’t followed the program 100% — I’ve made tremendous progress.  I know it works because of some fringe benefits.  One thing, my limp glands had always been swollen and I thought that’s just the way they are; that’s why they call them glands.  Now, they are absolutely flat and I can see that they had not been the way they were supposed to be.  Another thing – I’ve had hay fever for 30 years.  This year the hay fever is flat out gone.  And, again, I’ve done the program in a way, that I’m shame faced to call no better than half.  Finally, when I went down to get my driver’s license renewed; I discovered – I no longer needed my glasses.  My vision has improved and that was something I wasn’t expecting.  Again, at this time, I’m not doing the program 100%.  My background is a lawyer, so I LOVE!!! evidence and with hard evidence like that – it’s impossible not to be totally enthusiastic about the program.

Yes, Yes, Yes indeed – that’s called serendipity – you come here for one thing and you get all these unexpected extra benefits including better vision!!!  The best and quickest results come to those who do the program 100% and eat only 100% “Raw Plant Foods” but, feel encouraged if you’re not 100% that some is better than none and the more you do the better and faster will be your results. 

I’m the other half of his story.  I thought you might like to hear the other part of the story.  Anyway, he’s been coming to OHI and I’ve been saying, “I think that’s a little extreme.  I think you need this, that, or whatever.”  So, I am ashamed to say that I have contributed to his sliding off the program.  He’s a nice man.  I fix something to eat and he eats it.  He eats what I fix.  He’s been very persistent; bless his heart.  I kept telling him, “Oh yea, I’ll come sometime,” but I was very nervous about it.  I was really scared.  I thought; I have no health problems even though I have high cholesterol.  I’m hypo-glycemic.  I’ve had pain in my back and all kinds of stuff.  I had no health problems – so I thought.  I came here and discovered there is a lot I could learn.  I am very appreciative for being here and I think it’s a wonderful program.  The pain in my back is gone!!!  I am better, not just physically but I arrived with the mental part that goes with it.  That was wonderful.  I am totally convinced that the program is wonderful.  I am so encouraged.  We are going home and we’re really going to get this program going.  We’re getting the dehydrator and the whole thing.  I am really excited about it.  I think it’s doable.  I want to thank him for persisting and I really want to thank OHI!!!

EYE CANCER CONQUERED – 100 POUNDS GONE – DIABETES HEALED!!!
I first came here in 1993.  I want to talk about my transition from cancer to health.  There is no longer any cancer in my left eye.  My doctor diagnosed my left eye in 1993.  He said he thought it was cancer but he wanted to be sure so he sent me to UCLA.  Four UCLA medical doctors diagnosed this left eye as melanoma cancer and they gave me two options.  They wanted to operate and chop this eye out.  They wanted to put a stone in my left eye.  I didn’t go for that.  They gave me one more option.  They said we’ll put chemotherapy in there and you will be stone blind.  I refused that also.  They got uptight, even angry with me because I refused their services.  They said, “Congratulations, you are number 26 that refused are services.”  I said, “I would like to meet those 26 people – maybe they had found something better than having an eye chopped out.”  Today, I am so grateful there was within me a knowledge that came forth.  I call it the omnipotent CHRIST within that told me that was not the way to go!!!  Anyhow, I sought for other ways not knowing if I was doing the right thing or not.  Later on, when I was a guest here, after I gave my testimony, one of the guests came up to me and said, “Larry, I had a friend who had cancer behind the retina of her eye.  She went the medical way.  She let the doctors chop her eye out and Larry in six months, she was dead.”  That testimony really made me feel great because sometimes when you’re walking by faith and you don’t know if you’re going in the right direction and when I heard that the medical procedures don’t work all the time – I was grateful that I refused their services!!!  I first came here in 1993 – 334 pounds, cancer, diabetic, arthritis, and other circumstances in my life.  Today, I have been changed.  I’ve been transformed.  I call it transformations that took place.  I don’t know when this cancer got healed.  All I know is that last year, I had it checked out by my doctor and there is no cancer there.  All I can say is I am grateful.  I am grateful to be alive.  I am grateful for opportunities to go on with my life.  Raw foods are a big part of it.  The Spiritual part of it was – I had the laying on of hands of the church.  I continued eating raw off and on.  I realized my eye got worse when I ate the way of the world.  That told me raw is the way to go because when I went the other way, this eye would get sore.  I would say, “OK, I need the raw food.”  The Spiritual part was wonderful and I believe in Divine Healing.  I believe also that faith without works is dead.  You have got to work at this if you have cancer.  You have got to work at the Spiritual part and also the physical.  You have to eat the raw food!!!  That is easy to say and sometimes harder to do but I am here to tell you – you can get addicted to raw foods just as much as you are addicted to the cooked foods of the world.  I hated this food in 1993.  Today – I LOVE IT!!!  I go for two plates and I don’t gain weight.  I am just so grateful to be here.  GOD bless you.  When I stay on this diet, I can see with the bottom part of my eye!!!  If I just keep disciplining myself, this left eye will be completely well.  Everything was black – now, I can see my hand!!!  We make the change for the world.  We’re going out there and we’re going to change it.  RAW, RAW, RAW is in – cooked food is dead.  If you want to be dead, just keep eating it.  If you want to come alive—eat Live, Live, Live, eat Live.  Ladies and gentleman – this program is so awesome – it healed my cancer – it took the weight off me – it took the diabetic condition out of my system – it is just wonderful – it’s Rawesome!!!  Don’t leave the food on your plate.  Eat it and come alive!!!  Ladies and gentlemen – EAT LIVE FOOD!!!

I first met Larry in 1995.  He was down considerably from the 334 pounds he weighed in 1993.  He came every year.  At the time of this testimonial (April 2001), he was at 230.  That is over 100 pounds extricated from his life – gone for good.  He has gone from 334 pounds to 230 pounds.  He keeps telling everybody, “I’m going to be skinny like Dave.”  It’s never to late to transform your health – Larry is now in his eighties — his vision continued to improve and with the removal of a cataract, he was able to get a drivers license in 2007!!!

CONQUERS CANCER AFTER 2½ FEET OF COLON REMOVED!!!
Three and a half years ago, I came out of surgery.  The doctors told me I had six months to live.  They took two and a half feet out of my colon and intestine.  I had a huge tumor as big as a grapefruit.  I had no idea I had that till I did all the cooking for my daughter’s wedding.  I did all the cooking myself.  My daughter got married.  Three days later after she left I had rectal bleeding really heavy duty and that is when they took me in.  I had no idea I had cancer.  I was groggy but I kept pushing.  That was me; I’d keep going.  When they told me I had six months to live, I thought, no way.  That’s not going to happen to me.  I searched for alternatives.  My daughter stayed with me two weeks after the surgery then my son came.  He told me about this place but I couldn’t make it at that time.  It took me two years to make up my mind.  I took two weeks out of my life and coming here was the best thing that I have ever done for myself.  I have always cared for my family first.  I came here and did the program for two weeks and I went home – the blood tests came out better.  I only stayed on the program about 60-65 to 70%.  About six months ago, I took tests again – I have no cancer!!!  I did it.  I am clear of cancer!!!

WALKS AGAIN – OFF BLOOD PRESSURE & PAIN MEDICATION!!!
I’m 73 years old and by the time I leave here – I expect to be closer to 53.  When I first got here four weeks ago, I could hardly walk from the car up to the steps to my room.  I had so much pain in my back.  I now live about a block and a half away – I am able to walk back and forth a couple of times a day.  I’m swimming.  I’m starting to dance again and if you come to the show tonight, you will see.  I walked in here without pain.  After two weeks, I was able with my doctor’s permission to get off the high blood pressure medicine and it has stayed normal without any medication.  And now, I’ve gotten off the pain medication.  Thank You!!!

DIVERTICULITIS HEALED – BREAST LUMPS DISAPPEAR!!!
I had a routine mammogram four years ago.  The doctor found pea size lumps in each of my breasts.  I was scheduled for surgery in two weeks.  We knew of the wonders of OHI because my sister had been here with diverticulitis.  The doctors wanted to take out part of her stomach.  She was healed and saved from the operation.  My husband said, “Before you do anything – go to OHI immediately for two weeks.”  I came for two weeks.  The day I got out, I went to the hospital for a pre-op sonogram.  The doctor came out and said, “You can go home now – the growths have disappeared.”  I was in shock and disbelief.  I was sure they would improve, but totally gone?  I asked the doctor, “Don’t you want to know what I did the last two weeks?”  He said, “NO,” I rushed home to tell my husband the great news.

SPIRITUAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL HEALING!!!
I feel tears of appreciation for OHI.  I came here bitter and hopeless about my family, my work, and my husband.  I was totally depressed and wanted to run away from my life.  I had tried changing my thought patterns, but was stuck in a rut.  I came here for 3 weeks.  The miracle of the program for me was I found that cleaning the sludge from my body, my thoughts began to clean as well.  I feel better on all levels – physically, mentally, emotionally, and Spiritually.  By doing the whole program, cleansing the body, drinking WheatGrassJuice!!! eating the raw foods, going to classes, doing the exercises, and meeting all the people, I have begun the process of removing unwanted baggage from my life.  I love the program.  It has empowered me to take responsibility for my healing.  It has given me energy, vitality, and hope!!!

EIGHT YEARS OF INTOLERABLE HEADACHES GONE IN FOUR WEEKS!!!
I found OHI by the grace of God.  For 8½ years, I have gone to the best specialists and universities in this country and others seeking relief for intolerable headaches.  After completing four weeks on the program – my headaches have subsided.  I no longer take any pain medication.  The classes are very useful.  I consider my four weeks here worth more than my four years of college.  The staff and the volunteers are very encouraging and I appreciate every moment I have spent with them.  I can now look forward to a future without headaches.  Thank you OHI!!!

NORMAL BLOOD SUGAR & BLOOD PRESSURE – BACK TO WORK!!!
I had diabetes, high blood pressure, myasthenia gravis, and angioneurotic edema.  I was unable to work.  Within one month – I had normal blood sugar, normal blood pressure, and improved neurological function!!!  I returned to work 40-50 hours per week.  I am now happily retired.

EX-PHARMACIST – HEALTH IS NOT IN A DRUG BOTTLE!!!
I am an ex-pharmacist, 83 years old.  My blood pressure was 200/100.  Now it is 147/77 and I’ve never felt better.  I have been coming two or three times a year for 18 years.  I am convinced the benefits of Optimum Heath can’t be found in a drug bottle!!!

GOT RID OF 65 POUNDS!!!
When I first arrived at OHI in December 1985, I was overweight, and overstressed with executive burnout.  I got rid of 65 lbs. and learned what Optimum Health is all about!!!  I met a most interesting group of people.

FEEL YOUNG – REJUVENATED – I CAN TAKE ON THE WORLD!!!
After having nine kids, I felt like warmed-over death.  I prayed and three days later I was at the institute.  I came alive and will continue to come back here forever.  When I go home, I always feel like I can take on the world.  I feel young and completely rejuvenated.

LIFE SAVED – TRIM, VIBRANT – IN LOVE WITH LIFE!!!
Before this way of living began for me, I was well over 200 lbs.  I maintained on any pill, fast food, alcohol, or other relief available.  I was a captive in my own house and in my own body.  I had five surgeries, all related to food and self-abuse.  Today, I am a trim, vibrant, fifty-year-old woman in LOVE!!! with life.  I have friends, including myself, who would not be alive if not for the institute!!!

MY PERSONAL OPTIMUM HEALTH INSTITUTE TESTIMONIAL!!!                      
SMOKING HABIT TRANSFORMED – SERENDIPITOUS BENEFITS!!!
July 17, 1994, my sister dropped me off at OHI.  I was 37 years of age.  At that time, I was smoking three packs of cigarettes a day and had been for many years; I started smoking when I was 13.  In fact, the last few days before OHI, I smoked extra fearing the commitment I had made to quit when I checked in, but the time to change was nigh.  I had little idea of the magnitude of transformation that was about to take place within me!!!  We stopped by McDonald’s along the way.  It was to be the proverbial last super.  I ate two “quarter-pounders-with-cheese,” a large fries, and drank a strawberry shake.  It was to be the last “real food” for three weeks, so I thought.  Speaking of that notorious eating joint, “If you’re eating at the Golden Arches – you’re heading for the Pearly Gates.”  Of course, I didn’t believe it then but I now know the “real food” – the only “real food” we should ever eat if we want to be truly healthy are the “Raw Plant Foods”!!!  I once commented to one of the guests, “When you get back to the ‘real world;” I was correctly corrected, “David, this is the ‘real world – the illusion is and always has been out there.”  Anyway, this was the craziest thing I could imagine at the time and I surely wasn’t doing any enemas.  I thought, I’d eat their food and go to some of the classes but no enemas – no way, no how – I just needed to stop smoking.  I knew but one thing, if I didn’t stop smoking – I was going to die a very premature and painful death like my father.  I was in between jobs.  I barely had the money for tuition.  I had left my last bartending job after being attacked by a co-worker who literally whacked me upside the head with a broom.  That incident served as an omen for me; it was time to change.  I decided three things:  1) It was time to stop smoking.  2) It was time to stop tending bar and start doing something else for a living.  3) I vowed to never again wait for life to “whack me upside the head” before I decided to makes proactive changes.  I had known for some time that it was way past time to change jobs but I was stuck in that reactive rut called “fear of change."  Have you ever been there???  My pain had become greater than my fear of change and when our pain is greater than our fear change – we change!!!  The two main reasons I considered OHI as my vehicle to make the transition were:  1) My mother had attend the OHI program in 1990.  Every chance she got and in as many ways as she could, even to the point of nagging, she would tell me, “You should go to the Optimum Health Institute.  Maybe it could help you stop smoking – you know, you really should stop that smoking.”  2) The other thing was I had started reading self-help books, listening to, and watching motivational tapes.  I learned it took 21 days or 21 repetitions to make or break a habit and changing your surroundings for this time period was a good way to stop smoking and/or transform any habit (Make the break).  I was ready.  It had all fallen into place proving –
WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY – THE UNIVERSE PROVIDES THE TEACHER!!!
It has been 18 years now; I haven’t smoked since and could never smoke again because I didn’t just stop smoking, rather – I transformed within me why I started in the first place.  I must have attempted a hundred times and ways or more to stop on my own.  My coughing was painful for me, scary and offensive to others.  I even handcuffed myself to the couch one day, giving the key to my brother, believing if I could just go 24 hours without smoking that would kick the habit.  What’s the first thing I did when he let me go?  It was one of the worst failures for me all the while being one of the best days of my brother’s life.  I was thickly congested and coughed so bad all the time that it was unpleasant to be around me.  What was it about coming to OHI that made the difference???  It was the Spiritual, mental, and emotion transformation (thinking anew) that helped me to get though the physical addiction.  The cough and congestion worsened for the first three days but as the toxins left my body – I got better and better!!!  The body is so wonderful – the healing power within is so great – that on the fourth day the cough was mostly gone – the congestion was cleared up by the tenth day.  My chronological birthday is November 16, 1957 but I consider the day I checked into OHI, July 17, 1994, my Spiritual Birthday.  So, if you see me running around acting like a big kid – I’m only 18!!!  It’s ironic today that I was worried about the money back then.  Then, the tuition was $295 per week X 3 = $885.  I was smoking $7.50 a day.  $885 / $7.50 = 118 days which means my original investment was returned to me in only four months.  My continuing return on investment over the last 18 years has been $885 turned into over $50.000.  WOW, that’s over 5500%!!!  How’d you like to get a return like that with the stock market???  (I rounded the figures to my 55th birthday 11/16/12.)  Investing in our health is always a wise decision.  The greater benefits of physical and mental health are of course – immeasurable and priceless.  I AM 54 as I write this and I AM in the best over-all-well-being of my life.  I am growing wiser, stronger, healthier and wealthier everyday.  My father died at 43 smoking the last breath he ever took.  My fate would have been the same as dads had not my destiny been OHI and writing this book.  I was living the same lifestyle as dad; I was sure to produce the same outcome.  I know my life was saved and greatly extended by my OHI educational experience!!!

July 11, 1995, almost exactly a year to date after I checked in to OHI – I started on their staff and worked with them until April 2002.  I have been and continue to be most serendipitously rewarded in all aspects of my life: Spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, sexually, socially, environmentally and financially.  I learned how to be Blessed out—not stressed out!!!  I came to stop smoking, found a career and discovered my life’s main purpose.  I didn’t know then but I do know now that GOD has plans for me.  If you would have said to me at the time I checked in, “One day you will be on the staff teaching classes,” I would have laughed you right off the campus.  My consciousness was not capable of that vision then.  In fact, at that time, I barely had the self-esteem to speak my mind at weekly sales meetings let alone teach a class in “Self-Esteem.”  What a powerful transformation it was, it is, and continues to be, as I grow and live on and on. 

My Powerful Passionate Purpose is to deliver this message of Truth and hope to as many people as possible – health and healing can only be found in GOD’S LIVING WORDS and GOD’S LIVING FOODS!!!  Ponce Deleon searched and searched and searched some more for the “Fountain of Youth” all the while his horse was grazing on it!!!  This thing we call a body is a “living organic function” and we need to nourish and fuel it with living organic foods.  If you put the wrong fuel in that car you treat better than your body, that bucket of rusting bolts wouldn’t even make it around the block, let alone run for years like your body does.  Processed products of most every kind are simply not in the form the body was meant to run on; the body runs best on produce not pills and products.  The best summary to create healing and lasting “Optimum Health” is simply this:

GOD’S LIVING WORDS!!!
AND GOD’S LIVING FOODS!!!
FOR GOD’S LIVING BODY!!!
