    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;I Haven't Had a Cold or Flu in 13 Years!&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I live in Huntington, NY (on Long Island) and for 18 years commuted to Proskauer Rose, one of the top law firms in NYC. I have always loved learning new things, and one day I was attending a class at the Learning Annex and started chatting with the woman next to me about various things. She told me about Wayne Garland and his natural vitamins, as I mentioned I always get very sick every year with bronchitis and upper respiratory infection. I was very interested in finding a natural solution, as the last time it was so bad the doctor prescribed asthma medicine for me, as I could hardly even breathe.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On her recommendation, I bought a bottle of Shark Liver Oil and started taking it faithfully every day. To my great joy and delight I did not get sick that winter. It's been thirteen years since I started taking Shark Liver Oil and I haven't had a cold, flu, bronchitis or upper respiratory infection since!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't believe in coincidences and am so thankful I was taking that class that day. I tell everyone about you and your amazing vitamins, especially the miraculous Shark Liver Oil. All of my friends who have started taking it themselves thank me continuously for sharing this natural formula.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;God Bless you Mr Garland and everyone on your staff for all the wonderful, amazing, healing work you are doing to bring good health to us all. You are a Great Blessing to the World!
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I absolutely love &lt;strong&gt;Revive Circulation Cream.&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have had the WORST dry, cracked, and bleeding heels since I moved to Colorado where the climate is dry. I tried literally everything on my heels, including prescription lotions and ointments. Some helped for a little while, but none worked long term. My feet are worse than ever. They are cracked so badly, they bleed!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was often in pain and hated to be barefoot because my feet were so ugly.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I tried the &lt;a href="https://www.bodyasdoctor.com/shop/Revive-Circulation-Cream" target="_blank"&gt;Revive Circulation Cream&lt;/a&gt; and the results were amazing! After two days of using this cream in the morning after bathing, and again at night before bed, my feet were visibly healing. After just one week, no more cracks - at all!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you! I LOVE MY FEET and can't wait for summer!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Connie, CO

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;I'm Pregnant!&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;We were married in 2007 and after a year of marriage my husband and I tried to conceive our first child.  This went on for over a year until we realized this wasn't going to occur without seeking fertility treatments.  After going through 13 interuterine insemination (IUI) treatments, we started to wonder if we would ever become parents.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	I had been taking fertility medication on a monthly basis and 
would pray each month that's this would be our month to get pregnant.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Shortly after our 13th IUI, we realized that invitro 
fertilization (IVF) may be our best option.  I had started taking Wayne Garland's  supplements in conjunction with all the fertility medications to get my body in the best health possible prior to undergoing IVF, and ended up producing several healthy eggs that created several embryos that were viable to be transferred.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	After transferring 2 healthy embryos we were pregnant with not one baby, but twins!  During my pregnancy I continued with my supplements and now my twins are healthy, thriving 4 year olds.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Over two years had gone by and my husband and I decided we would try to conceive again.  I had been taking my supplements again regularly and began having almost regular menstrual cycles.  We went to our fertility doctor to discuss our future options with extending our family.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Come to find out I was already pregnant with baby #3! &lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	People often ask me how this could be possible given our history 
of fertility treatments.  I then explain the support I have received from you and your staff - guiding me in the right path and keeping my body healthy.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I couldn't be happier than I am now as a mother of three beautiful children!&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Thanks for listening to our story!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Toni Sheitlin&lt;br&gt;St. Louis, MO&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wayne Garland's comments:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	We have the privilege of speaking with so many women who have tried everything before coming to us, wanting a child so badly - and all the time, dreaming of seeing the positive pregnancy test.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Infertility  is a sign that something is wrong and needs to be 
fixed. For most  women pregnancy is easily achieved by changing their diet and getting  more exercise and sleep!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	But, there are many thousands of women who go nearly bankrupt, 
spending money for expensive fertilization treatments, that may or may not even  work.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The latest success rate for an invitro fertilization treatment was 20%!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The fact is that changing your diet, exercising, sleeping and taking our powerful hormone balancing supplements is about $25,000 cheaper, and has a much higher success rate.

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;I was Terrified of Having a Heart Attack&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I found out my cholesterol was 243, I knew I needed help, so I called my friend and natural healer, Wayne Garland.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was not going to take statin drugs like Lipitor, because I knew how dangerous they can be. Wayne asked me to stop eating eggs (I didn't realize just one egg has 187mg of cholesterol,) and eliminated all meat and dairy, and started me on his Cholesteine formula.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In just one month on the formula and dietary changes, my cholesterol plummeted by 78 points to 165, and my LDL cholesterol dropped 71 of those 78 points. All in just one month!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seeing such dramatic results so soon is very motivating for me to keep on going! And I am referring another coworker of mine to you, especially regarding the Cholesteine product. :) Thanks so much!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You saved me already from &lt;a href="/success-stories/My-Thyroid-Recovery-Miracle"&gt;Thyroid Cancer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and now you've saved my heart too! Saying &lt;em&gt;Thank You&lt;/em&gt; doesn't seem to be nearly enough.

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;I Was One Hot Mess!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi, I'm Audra and I am a 43 year old dental hygienist in the Atlanta area. The picture above is me with my beautiful niece, Emily.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let me preface all the following with the fact that, in my past I was a competitive collegiate swimmer with a fondness of jogging and biking as a young adult; basically, I had a fitness filled life.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then the problems started.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (thyroid condition), Benign Essential Tremor, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, unexplained enlarged lymph nodes in both armpits (complete with surgical removal and benign pathology), and an Epidermoid Cyst removal from my face. I have suffered for years with chronic wrist, neck and back pain, and last but not least, migraines.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Putting this in print, it reads: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"one hot mess"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then in early 2013, I was introduced to Wayne Garland, Pamela Van Zee and the amazing supplements that changed my life. What a blessing. I began working hard to remove diet soda, meat, dairy, prescription medications and gluten from my life.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I seriously consider this a lifestyle change, not just a diet change.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remarkably, the change to a vegan lifestyle has not been a difficult transition for me. One week I was literally eating meat at every meal and the next week I was meat free. I believe it was the cancer prevention approach that Wayne Garland introduced with these concepts that sealed the deal.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to changing my diet, I began taking several nutritional supplements to regenerate my cells and my body: Life Transfusion Liquid Minerals, Age-Less, DIM, Balanced Women, Progesterone Boost, Marine Phyto-Plankton, and the Thyroid supplements.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over time, the symptoms diminished, and I experienced less work related pain and stiffness. The tremors almost entirely disappeared, and I had fewer migraines and I began to notice more energy!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In fact, I found myself with enough energy to train for a half marathon on Thanksgiving day 2013. Awesome! I was on my way back to my youthful me
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, let’s fast forward to spring of 2014, just a little more than one year from beginning these amazing supplements. I had experienced some financial difficulties that temporarily transformed my budget and completely run out of these products one at a time without the funds to replace them.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Little did I realize to what extent these supplements had transformed my life!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am embarrassed to say I clearly had taken them for granted. Some, not all, of my symptoms have returned and some new alarming symptoms have crept into my life. My migraines have returned, tremor is back, lack of energy; however, most surprising of all is the morning arthritic-like pain I am experiencing in my shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enough is enough!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; I am back on your supplements and I have no intentions of taking their benefits for granted again.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;I am hopeful that in doing so along with continuing the dietary changes I have made that I may again soon achieve optimum health and return to a better quality of life.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For what it is worth, I believe everything happens for a reason and the lack of these quality, all natural nutrients in my life whether by choice, personal neglect, or financial difficulties has been a resounding reminder that I cannot live the quality of life I have set for myself and highly desire without them!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I appreciate the help and dedication that Wayne and Pamela have given me to achieve all this, without them in my life this would not be possible. This experience has been life changing and I owe a great deal to them.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe my future is in good hands with God and these two amazing souls (and their entire team) and the products they make available to me and anyone else who sets high standards for a great life.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I intend to work hard to regain what I had achieved with their help last year.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the bottom of my heart, &lt;strong&gt;THANK YOU is not enough&lt;/strong&gt;!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Audra&lt;br&gt;Woodstock, GA

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;I am now literally exploding with health!&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Hi, I'm Brenna and I remember first being introduced to Wayne Garland’s supplements when my son was a baby. I confided in my girlfriend Brooke about my stress, insomnia and accompanying heart palpitations – all of the “fun” stuff that goes along with stress!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She’d met Wayne and had been taking his &lt;a href="/shop/5-HTP"&gt;5-HTP&lt;/a&gt; formula for a long time.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was shocked to hear that she had stress issues, because she always seemed to be well-rested, calm, and a generally-go-with-the-flow type of person. She shared that such was not always so, but that she’d been taking Wayne’s mega-nutrients and 5-HTP for years. She told me she’d never gotten sick while she was faithful to his products.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a single mom working full time, I was desperate for something that would keep me healthy and help me manage stress. I hated the thought of taking anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/images/articles/testimonials/Brenna-and-son-bowling_300x377.jpg" alt="Brenna Ballestero bowling with her son" style="float: left; width: 279px; height: 351px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" width="279" height="351"&gt;So, I skeptically, but hopefully, order my first 5-HTP supplements. The first night I took the 5-HTP, I was able to sleep and was pleasantly surprised to find out there weren’t any weird hangover feelings in the morning. I just felt … Good!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have to say to this day,&lt;strong&gt; it was the BEST investment I’ve made for my health.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was so happy with the results that I shared them with everybody – and I mean, EVERYBODY!  All the moms and girlfriends I knew were so curious about my new secret weapon I’d found for managing my day.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of my girlfriends went on leave from work due to her depression and stress. She had a horrible reaction to every anti-depressant she was prescribed. Hundreds of dollars later, she found out that she did not need any if those drugs – her body simply needed 5-HTP.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;As a nurse, I see both sides of our health industry&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The preventative side which is committed to wellness and the reactionary side which treats symptoms. It is obvious the reactionary system doesn't want to fix a problem, when they can charge billions for a prescription drug.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This frustrates me to no end, and I am often sharing Wayne Garland’s website &lt;strong&gt;with people who want to get better.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last year, I read your article on the cruelty in sourcing urine from pregnant horses for hormone replacement therapy. This touched me deeply. I’ve always had horrible, painful periods that made me feel like I was hemorrhaging and miserable! Not only did my mood swings get nutty when I was menstrual, but the pain from the cramps would be so unbearable that I’d have to pull the car over sometimes and Lamaze breathe!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I learned about &lt;a href="/shop/DIM"&gt;DIM&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="/shop/Balanced-Woman"&gt;Balanced Woman&lt;/a&gt;, and they have saved my life!  I was able to stop my hormone pills that put women in risk for heart issues, and now only take the DIM and Balanced Woman.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I immediately noticed the difference.   During the first week, I could feel my hormones getting back on track – but the true test was when my special week of the month came.  I couldn’t believe how amazing it worked. My mood was stable, no more hormone tears, my cramps were almost non-existent, plus I no longer experience the severe abdominal bloating, fluid retention,  headaches or other menstrual symptoms that normally made me want to crawl into a hole and cry.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am a faithful lifer for sure!&lt;/strong&gt; I believe in these supplements 100% because I’ve seen their efficacy. I absolutely LOVE you guys. You all have stood by me, my friends and family, and you’ve given them guidance and loved on them.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m totally with you guys, especially when patients get the diagnosis that will change their whole lives.  I make sure they have your site to check on ways to give them an edge in helping them fight for their wellness. I tell them to check with their doctor just to be sure the supplements are right for them - I’ve yet to have a doc say no - and I always remind them that there is hope.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank you – Thank you – Thank you for what you do!&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If my son, Lil B, and I didn’t have you guys, I don’t know where I’d be today!  We love you and thank you!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brenna Ballestero&lt;br&gt;Sacramento, CA&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;I'm So Happy I Found Progesterone&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi! My name is Connie and this picture is me sweating my way through menopause!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, I'm sweating in my Bikram Yoga class, praying a lot, going on daily walks and occasional runs, AND using natural bio-identical Progesterone Boost cream.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I first discovered Progesterone when I was pregnant with my second child. I had been diagnosed as infertile after trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for almost 4 years. I'd had a miscarriage and my ob/gyn did blood work and discovered I was almost completed depleted of Progesterone. According to my doctor, I would be unable to get pregnant or keep a pregnancy without medical intervention. I desperately wanted to have another child and my daughter Bekah cried herself to sleep at night, praying for a baby sister.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because I was unknowledgeable and afraid, I trusted my doctor who dosed me with massive amounts of hormones to help me get pregnant, and then prescribed oral progesterone to help me keep the pregnancy.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I FINALLY got pregnant after 3 horrific months of fertility treatment. I was like a hormonal zombie! I could barely function. I thought it was all worth it when the pregnancy test came back positive! For the next several months, I continued to endure the oral progesterone, even though I spotted and thought several times I was having a miscarriage. My second daughter, Hannah, was born in May. I was SO overjoyed but immediately began to suffer from postpartum depression.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This time, rather than turning to my doctor, I asked a dear friend of mine, who is a nurse/midwife, what she uses to help women suffering from depression. She told me all about natural topical USP Progesterone Cream. She had used Progesterone throughout her menopausal years and felt like it was the best solution for every woman.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I immediately bought several jars and used it morning, noon and night. I began feeling better that day, and over the next several months, I noticed I had lost my baby weight faster than I had during my first pregnancy and my skin and hair looked phenomenal!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The following year, we moved to Florida for my husband's job. The first week we were there, I found out I was pregnant - without using any drugs or hormones! When our third child Hope was still breast-feeding, I got pregnant again! Gloria was the easiest pregnancy of all. I had literally ZERO morning sickness, hardly gained any weight during pregnancy and she was by far, the easiest delivery. I delivered her at home - with the help of my beloved midwife - without any pain meds. I know without a doubt it was the Progesterone Cream!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now that my girls are older they all use the cream and NEVER get bloated or have PMS. I have used it faithfully since Gloria was born and I'm going through menopause now with hardly any symptoms!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The last few months have been incredibly busy and I forgot to use my Boost Progesterone! I even work for Wayne Garland, so you would think I know better! But, life sometimes gets away from me, and I started feeling really depressed again and I wasn't sleeping.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I restarted my Progesterone cream 4x a day and I immediately felt better. I slept like a rock that night and had so much energy, I completed like 5 projects. I felt more clear headed and focused. After about 5 days, I felt like my old self!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of my friends who are going the HRT route are all miserable. I tell them they have a choice. I'm so glad someone cared enough for me to tell me that I needed Progesterone. That's why I'm telling you. This stuff really works.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just turned 52, and my friends and family can't believe it. I don't look or act my age - but, believe me, there are days I FEEL it. It's good to know that I'm fending off aging and feeling great. I'm working, going to grad school, taking care of kids, and interning - I'm definitely stretched, but I have the energy and stamina I need every day!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also use DIM to free up even more Progesterone and use Balanced Woman for the complete hormone balance regimen.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just try it and you won't believe how good you feel!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Connie, CO
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;In 3 Months, My Testosterone Levels Increased 75%!&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi!  My name is Chris and I want to share with you how Testosterone Boost has changed my life.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since I'm approaching 40 years old, I wanted to get my baseline hormone levels so that I could monitor them in the years to come.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My first test was in May and what came back was okay but not phenomenal. My "total testosterone" was 714 and "free testosterone" was 75, which wasn't too bad but there was definitely room for improvement.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Three months after using the &lt;strong&gt;Testosterone Boost&lt;/strong&gt; cream and taking &lt;strong&gt;DIM&lt;/strong&gt;, my numbers went up dramatically. My total testosterone increased to 1,284 (+540) and my free testosterone went up to 123.5 (+48). That's a huge jump in a short period of time. Needless to say my doctor was pretty shocked.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Increased energy...CHECK&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Increased libido...CHECK&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Increased lean mass...CHECK&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Improved body composition...CHECK&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/images/articles/testimonials/chris-keseling-gym_300x400.jpg" alt="Chris Keseling" style="width: 225px; height: 300px; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" width="225" height="300"&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a more personal note, I'm feeling a bit more confident than before. I'm walking a little taller and when I'm exercising I have more drive (some circles refer to it as an Alpha feeling). I can feel it working within minutes of applying. I'm sure as the DIM continues to free up more of the testosterone, the results will continue to compound.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can say without a doubt that this combo works. As a Holistic Health Coach, I'm always looking for natural ways of improving not only my own health and wellness but that of my clients as well.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will definitely be recommending the combination of Testosterone and DIM to my male clients. My guess is that the female combo of Progesterone and DIM works equally as well too! ;-)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours truly,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  Chris Keseling

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-left: 20px;"&gt;&lt;a href="/shop/Testosterone-Boost"&gt;Testosterone Boost&lt;/a&gt; is an all-natural, drug-free topical formulation containing herbs shown to stimulate the body's production of vital testosterone, the most important male hormone. Testosterone supports lean muscle development, increases libido and performance, boosts energy, stamina and recovery, promotes tight, youthful skin and reduces signs of aging. Testosterone is required for maintaining bone density and blood sugar levels as well as creating a more positive outlook on life!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-left: 20px;"&gt;&lt;a href="/shop/DIM"&gt;DIM&lt;/a&gt; aids the body with estrogen metabolism, particularly with eliminating xenoestrogens that have estrogen-like effects in the body. DIM comes from Indoles, powerful plant compounds found in cruciferous vegetables like Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale, Brussel Sprouts, Cauliflower and Leeks, that can help to maintain a healthy hormonal balance for both men and women.

&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Dear Wayne,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  I just wanted to tell you that my friend Sonia, who I called you about a couple of weeks ago, is doing amazing on the &lt;strong&gt;Miracle of Life&lt;/strong&gt; vitamins. Her energy has returned and her wonderful smile. She cannot say enough good things about it.&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	Now she has the whole salon wanting the vitamins. So I will need to know how much money I will need to collect from each person. Sonia and Trish want 1 bottle, Tammy wants 2 and Sue wants 1 plus a bottle of your Liquid Minerals!
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	Please tally up each individual's cost and you can ship it all to the salon address in my name.
	Our salon is humming along like a freight train!"
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	- Linda, Posare Salon, Las Vegas, NV
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every day we get stories like this. Of course, it's always nice to get a good review about any of our formulas, but Linda is a very special customer and her enthusiasm for life is so contagious, I just had to share it with you. Linda is also a breast cancer survivor and highly values every split second of her life.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;What is Miracle of Life?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think manifesting the nutraceutical formula we call &lt;a href="https://www.bodyasdoctor.com/shop/Miracle-of-Life"&gt;Miracle of Life&lt;/a&gt; was for me, a moment that must have been like when Mozart wrote the Jupiter Symphony.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One night, as I sat quietly in a meditative state and allowed my mind to clear, yet hold onto the intention of all the therapeutic actions I wanted the formula to be able to do. Soon, thoughts and ideas were flooding my mind, coming from everywhere and yet nowhere. Afterwards, it seemed I couldn't write fast enough to get it all down onto paper.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I could go on and on about it. If you would like to learn more, we've written several articles about this formula. I recommend starting with this article, &lt;a href="/contagious-health/Miracle-of-Life-the-3rd-Coming" target="_blank"&gt;Miracle of Life: the 3rd Coming&lt;/a&gt;.

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;I Felt Results in Just 3 Days!&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Wayne,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have had great results with the REVIVE product!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My diabetic feet have been cracked and sore for the longest time and I have tried several creams and lotions to try and heal them including using Neosporin ointment to heal the cracks. REVIVE is the first cream that has provided me total relief from cracking, and dry skin.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The best part?&lt;/strong&gt; I felt huge results in just 3 days! Now my heels are smooth and not dry or cracked. The bone on the side of my foot, below my big toe was inflamed, and swollen. Now, the redness is gone, and I feel so much relief from the pain associated with the start of arthritis in my toes. Also, the yellowing of my toenails has almost gone away. One of my toes has a toe fungus that splits the toenail and it appears the fungus has stopped growing and is starting to heal.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	I have only been using this cream for 3 weeks and have been applying it twice daily. An amazing product! My feet thank you so much!

  &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Feet are our friends and when they are hurting, it’s all we can think about. Diabetics are especially susceptible to poor circulation, but anyone who works on their feet all day knows just how painful it can be.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-left: 20px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bodyasdoctor.com/shop/Revive-Circulation-Cream" target="_blank"&gt;Revive Circulation Cream&lt;/a&gt; uses natural plant extracts to stimulate blood

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;Squalane Keeps My Skin Wrinkle-Free&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;The most wonderful thing happened to me the other day. I went to see my doctor for a regular check on my diabetes and he said &lt;em&gt;"Claire you look wonderful for 71 and in fact, you look wonderful for 61"&lt;/em&gt;. Now that coming from my doctor made me feel very good. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I must tell you I am full blooded Italian, so some of my well being could come from my genes. However, I've been using Shark Oil Squalene for about 8 years now and I honestly think it has something to do with my complexion. I have no wrinkles on my face at all. I am a sun worshiper, and use the oil every day before I go out and after showering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People my age and younger comment on my face all the time and I tell them about the shark oil. Then I tell them I have a son who's 54, daughter 53, son 48, and son 44, but no one believes me. Why would I lie about my age? I'm proud of it and how I look.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of my friends are in there 40's, 50's and 60's. My husband is 62. I think I'm getting younger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Claire Marcey&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;If you had skin cancer, what would you do?&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;img src="http://www.bodyasdoctor.com/images/articles/testimonials/Robert-Black-skin-cancer-before_295x222.jpg" alt="Robert Black skin cancer tumor on chest" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;"&gt;A very close friend Robert discovered a tumor on his chest that had begun protruding. He had already seen an oncologist who recommended surgery to remove the growth, followed with radiation and chemotherapy.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instead, Robert decided to prime his body heal itself!&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When he called me, I immediately recommended he eliminate meat and dairy from his diet. In addition, Robert began juicing fresh, organic fruits, vegetables and greens to alkalize his blood and to trigger his body's natural immune system response.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also shared with Robert about a fabled &lt;em&gt;Black Salve&lt;/em&gt; was supposedly created by the Aztecs, and passed along to the American Indian tribes a millennia ago, to treat all kinds of skin diseases. This Salve supposedly worked near miracles for all of those fortunate enough to lay their hands on it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I first came to America, I heard of a mystical healer living in a log cabin in the Rocky Mountains of upper Idaho. As destiny would have it, a chinese herbalist at the Oriental School of Medicine in Portland where I volunteered years ago, was able to obtain a mailing address through another friend.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With only a name and address, I wrote her a letter describing Robert's situation, his overall health and asking for her help. Two weeks later we received a short reply with instructions to send payment to her secret address in Idaho. The money was sent and back came two jars of Black Salve.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Robert began applying it directly to the tumor and covered it with gauze. Within days, the tumor began to regress, and regress! In just about 2 months of daily applications, the tumor was nearly GONE!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bodyasdoctor.com/images/articles/testimonials/Robert-Black-skin-cancer-tumor-shrink_550x405.jpg" alt="Robert Black skin cancer tumor shrink over 2 months" style="display: block; margin: auto;"&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to improving his diet, Robert took several nutritional supplements to boost his immune system:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-left: 20px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bodyasdoctor.com/shop/Ultra-D3"&gt;Ultra D3&lt;/a&gt; with high-potency vitamin D3, vitamin K2, mineral co-factors and antioxidant vitamins A,C,E.&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bodyasdoctor.com/shop/Super-Curcumin-C3"&gt;Super Curcumin C3&lt;/a&gt; is a patent-protected extract of 3 types of curcuminoids found in Turmeric root with remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bodyasdoctor.com/shop/Immune-Support"&gt;Immune Support&lt;/a&gt; containing organic medicinal mushrooms, trace minerals and vitamin C to stimulate T-cell and white blood cell production to enhance immune system response.&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bodyasdoctor.com/shop/Germanium-Sesquioxide"&gt;Organic Germanium&lt;/a&gt; enhances immune system response by supporting T-cell function, and production of Interferon and antibody-forming cells.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sadly the mystic healer in Idaho passed away, but as good fortune would have it, the director of our manufacturing lab was aware of a Black Salve formulation from the wilds of the Amazon.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We now make our own Black Salve which we call &lt;a href="http://www.bodyasdoctor.com/shop/Reclaim-Black-Coffee-Salve"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reclaim&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, beneficial for a variety of skin conditions from age spots, blemishes, freckles to skin cells damaged by cancer.

	If you could bottle enthusiasm, you'd see a picture of Dawn. She is one of our truly wonderful customers. Dawn is a professional singer and entertainer, having danced and performed on stage for nearly 30 years. She owns and manages a tribute group featuring Big Band music of the 1940's and an energetic Golden Oldies show with Rock &amp; Roll hits of the 50's and 60's.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Watch and listen as Dawn tells it like it is - how she followed our dietary recommendations and used our formulas to reverse chronic knee pain that was limiting her ability to move on stage, rejuvenate a sluggish thyroid of 13 years, and lower her cholesterol from 353 to 210 in just 10 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Be forewarned - put on your seat belt on before you click the video play button below. Dawn is pure, unadulterated energy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YSAiJ7K_zq8" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" width="640"&gt;
	&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	What a story! All this can happen for you too, if you want it bad enough like Dawn did.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	While our formulas played their part, it all came together because of Dawn's passion, enthusiasm and zest for life. I believe this is truly what ignited the healing force within her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;For Years I Suffered with Joint Pain, Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;In my younger years, I was never as energetic as the other
  kids on my block. I have fought fatigue since I can remember.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; In  
addition, I have no cartilage in my knees and had to have injections to 
 enable me to walk without severe pain. Three years ago, I had my foot  
operated on and the bones never healed. I could hardly walk at times and
  I was frantic because I am a motivational speaker and must stand for  
hours to deliver my message.
	&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;About one year ago, I was blessed to hear about Wayne Garland and his  
products. I contacted him and he immediately placed me on Ultra D, Life 
 Transfusion Minerals and Age-Less Anti-Inflammatory.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; I am so happy to  
say that today, I no longer have chronic fatigue. The bones in my foot  
have totally healed, I can walk and stand again without pain.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Forget  
fibromyalgia, I can’t even remember what I felt like when I suffered  
with that disease. It’s totally gone. What about the knees? Well, there 
 is still no cartilage there, but I have no pain either.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since taking your products, I no longer need to take the injections and the 
pain  is gone. I can stand and my legs and back will take the pressure.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In my years of research as a minister to help bring healing to  
emotionally hurting people, I have found that God wants us to be healthy
  body, soul and spirit. That means the physical as well as the 
emotional  and spiritual. He says the body is the temple of the holy 
spirit and  that we should take care of it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Life, unfortunately, does 
not always  present an easy road for us to travel. Not only are we 
carrying  emotional scars, but we are carrying the physical scars of 
poor health  because we have neglected to realize that what we put 
inside will  eventually present itself on the outside.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe in the
 miracle of  creative healing. I have found, however, that God does not
 always heal  us miraculously or instantly with a creative miracle. 
Rather, he teaches  us that our body is a miracle of healing and will 
repair itself if we  will nurture it properly with good nutrition and 
supplements to aid the  cause. Besides, if He heals us miraculously, and
 we continue with our  bad habits of poor nutrition, we will not be able
 to maintain the  healing.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks to God and Wayne, I am maintaining.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wayne Garland's comments:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ellason is a tireless, inexhaustible angel. We met through her  
non-denominational ministry called 
	&lt;a href="http://www.whereeaglesfly.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Clean Heart Ministries&lt;/a&gt; where she  
helps anyone who crosses her path. As a minister and motivational speaker, Ellason spends a lot of time 
 on her feet, and when we met, she was having  
injections into her knees to relieve the pain due to lost cartilage. Now, not quite a year later, Ellason is pain-free and with more energy than she can ever remember having.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My blood pressure has been uncontrollable, and even with medication it was high. My doctor had me on Lisinopril, and believe me, this medication could knock an elephant out!  It's for chronic heart failure, and unfortunately, that was me after I had a mini-stroke.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'd rather take something that is going to build up my heart and clean out my blood vessels - that's what this does - than take something that only masks the symptoms. I think it also strengthens my heart.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They couldn't get my blood pressure down for love nor money. Now it's like 152/82. Let me tell you, it has never been that low, and it is still falling.

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;My Cholesterol Dropped 56 Points with Cholesteine and Steel Cut Oats&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Wayne,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	On Sept. 11, 2010 my cholesterol was 236. The good was not high enough and the bad was not low enough.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My doctor wanted to put me on medicine. I asked him to give me a chance to do something about it myself first. He gave me an order to get the cholesterol checked in January of 2011.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My friend Jan had told me about you, so I looked up your website and signed up and ordered Cholesteine. My husband started fixing organic steel cut oats for me. He added a little honey and stevia to them. I eat a bowl of the oats almost every morning for breakfast.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Nov. 11, 2010 my cholesterol was checked again and it was 198. Two months later, on January 17, 2011 my cholesterol was checked again. My doctor's office called and told me my cholesterol was 180. The nurse said the good is higher than the goal and the bad is lower than the goal. The doctor said to continue what I was doing and he'd 
see me next Sept. for my annual check up.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Cholesteine and steel cut oats are the only change I have made to my diet. We eat a lot of chicken breasts and other healthy stuff, salads, veggies, etc. However, breakfast is my favorite meal and that's what I order many times when we eat out. We don't buy hardly any beef, but get a hamburger sometimes. I would say the bulk of our diet is pretty healthy, but I eat what I want.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know that the Cholesteine and the oats have made all the difference! I would encourage anyone to try the Cholesteine before giving in to pharmaceuticals. Pharma always has such a long list of side effects! Thank you for doing what you do and being there!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Sincerely,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Judy Porter&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;I Lowered My LDL Cholesterol 55 Points in 6 Months&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Wayne,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I turned 50 this year and since I never go to the doctor, my wife was adamant I have a physical and blood workup done. I’ve been healthy and athletic all of my life, so my weight was fine and bodyfat was less than 15%, but my cholesterol and blood pressure were high – really high.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I eat well (or so I thought) and my dad always had high cholesterol, so the doctor said it was hereditary and there was nothing I could do about it. He wrote me a prescription for a cholesterol drug, but I said “no thanks” and wanted to see if I could lower it naturally.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I called my friend Dale who works with you and he said I should read your book, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="/shop/lower-cholesterol-naturally-ebook"&gt;Kill Cholesterol Before Cholesterol Kills You&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. It really opened my eyes about what a good diet is.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I made the commitment to switch to a plant-based diet, although I must admit I was concerned how I would get enough protein to maintain muscle size and strength. I always thought that was what animal meat was for.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also started taking the formulas he recommended: Cholesteine, Liquid Minerals, Nattokinase, Liv-Rx and Omega 3/6/9.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I work in construction and the guys normally eat fast food for lunch. I would bring a big salad for lunch and they teased me. For the first few weeks, I didn’t really feel much different, but I kept with the program. And then I realized something – the guys couldn’t keep up with me in the afternoons. I had all this energy and they were sluggish and always wanting to stop and take a break.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After 6 months, I went back to the doctor for a blood test, thinking for sure I’d made some progress. He said he’d call me in a few days and we would discuss the results. Later that night, he called and asked, “What are you doing?” I thought, “Oh no, what’s wrong?” My LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) dropped 55 points, from 164 to 109! He couldn’t believe it.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He said, “nobody drops their cholesterol like this without drugs. People might lower their cholesterol by 20 points, but no one lowers it like this!” He then said, “well, I guess there’s no need to put you on a statin drug now.”
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your program and changing to a plant-based lifestyle has made an incredible difference in my energy, how I sleep and best of all lowered my cholesterol!

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;I Was Searching for a Cleanse that Worked&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Two years ago I had unsuccessful knee surgery and I had put on extra 
 weight. I was in need of a cleanse and tried that guy on TV’s cleanse  
and had no luck. I then tried a different cleanse and was starving the  
entire time and did not get any results. I  also heard of the acai-berry
  cleanse which was a joke and a major rip off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	I said to my wife, “Does Wayne Garland have a  cleanse?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;a href="/contagious-health/Tap-into-the-Power-that-Made-Your-Body"&gt;We looked it up on his website&lt;/a&gt; and found his to be very unique and 
exactly what I needed.  So my wife and I did the cleanse together for 2 
weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	I started to work out 2 times a week for one hour a day and the  
results were incredible. My wife who is thin to begin with lost 7 pounds
  and looked much healthier and I lost 23 pounds!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	I was so focused I decided to continue on my own for the full 4 weeks
  and increased my cardio workouts. I ended up losing 39 pounds! Since  
then it has been 3 months and I have been able to keep the weight off.  I
  have now lost a total of 44 pounds and feel relief throughout my 
entire  body!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	The results I received was a direct relationship with trusting Wayne's &lt;a href="/contagious-health/Detox-Protocol"&gt;Detox Protocol&lt;/a&gt;, an extreme  amount of discipline, and hard work. I followed the game 
plan  exactly how it is laid out and  did not cheat even once – not one 
bad  drink or one piece of chocolate or one slice of pizza and it was 
all  worth it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Before I started, I said I know what eating poorly and not exercising
  has done to me and that was not working so I decided to go full tilt  
with the s program and the rest is not history, but a healthier  
future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	My favorite saying during the cleanse was, “Just get me to the baked  potato,” because that meant I made it one more day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	The few things I wished I had time for were the coffee enema, hot  
stone massage, and epsom salt bath; but with 3  kids, work, and coaching
 my  daughters T-ball and softball teams, I just could not fit it in this
  time. The next cleanse I will make the time for  them because it will 
 only increase my results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	I also must say that I never had any diarrhea, cramping, or felt  overly hungry at all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Once again I know I sound like I am always repeating myself but,  “THANKS WAYNE, YOU ARE THE MAN!”&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;It's said that the reason a dog has  so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. It is also said that the best friend  you can have is a dog.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Perhaps 
the best friend your dog could have (apart from you) is a bottle of our 
miraculous 
	&lt;a title="Life Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex" href="/shop/Life-Transfusion-Liquid-Mineral-Complex"&gt;Life  Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please take a moment from your day to sit and read this story of friendship and amazing recovery from a stroke by "Bitsy".
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
	Dear Wayne,&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	I would like to share a wonderful  experience I have had by using you Life Transfusion minerals.&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	A little over a year ago, my Tea Cup  poodle had a stroke. I spent a 
small fortune at the veterinarian and the animal hospital in Las Vegas. 
The little dog lost all control of her body from the neck down. She was 
mentally alert, but her body parts just couldn't function. After two 
weeks of c-scans and other tests, the physicians advised me that there 
was nothing they could do for Bitsy, and they suggested I have her put 
down.
	&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	My friends, Rob and Russell, explained to me the miracles of your 
Life Transfusion. They had a friend who owned a cat that had been hit 
by a car. The Vet was ready to put the cat down. The lady, a doctor, 
had bathed her cat in Life Transfusion and the cat healed and 5 years 
later he was still doing fine. They suggested I try soaking Bitsy in 
your product and see if it could help her. Knowing that Bitsy knew me 
and believing that her mind was still very active, I asked the Vet if I
 could take her home for the weekend.
	&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;	
	I started bathing Bitsy in a combination of about 2 gallons of warm 
water and 6 tablespoons of Life Transfusion, 5 times a day. It was so 
sad to see her lying paralyzed in that sink. She kept looking up at me 
as if to say, “Oh no, not again”. I would wrap her up, wet, in towels 
to keep her warm and I kept her in a very warm place near the heater. 
After three days, she started moving her rump. I was so excited that I 
called Rob and Russell to come to the house. By the time they arrived, 
Bitsy had managed to get her hind legs under her body and she was 
trying to stand up. I kept up her baths and within two days she was 
standing on all fours. Two more days of treatments, and she was 
walking. She now runs and plays on her own.
	&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	I add Life Transfusion to her drinking water everyday, and she will 
not drink any water I give her that does not have Life Transfusion in 
it. Just to be safe, I add my own dose of Life Transfusion to a small 
glass of water each morning.
	&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	Thanks to you, we are both doing fine. The miracle of your product 
has shocked both Bitsy's Vet and my physician. My heart is in great 
shape! Your product is accurately named. Thank you.

	Kingman, AZ
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The naysayers and nutritional supplement critics say that vitamins, 
minerals and herbs are all "placebo effect" and a waste of time and 
money. The next time anyone says that, pull out this story and ask them
 to explain it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;This is the miracle of Contagious Health!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. Apart from the &lt;a href="/shop/Life-Transfusion-Liquid-Mineral-Complex" target="_blank"&gt;Liquid Minerals&lt;/a&gt;, I also add one gelcap of our  standard &lt;a title="Ask Dr Garland: Vitamin D3 formula" href="/shop/Vitamin-D3-2000iu" mce_href="/shop/Vitamin-D-3.html" target="_blank"&gt;Vitamin D-3&lt;/a&gt; formula to all my pets' food each day. Pets need vitamin D too, especially when they stay indoors.&lt;br&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;I Can Walk Again!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Today I want to introduce you to Mrs Liliana Prange. The two of you 
are going to become close friends, like she has with me these past few 
weeks.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Liliana is an extraordinary woman, fighting painful, crippling 
Rheumatoid Arthritis with grace, determination, humor and a firm, 
resolute belief in her body's ability to heal itself.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
	Losing my balance was the first sign of trouble. Then the pain set 
in. First in my hands, then my fingers wouldn't move, my toes were glued
 together and my neck wouldn't turn. Slowly, I was locking up and 
becoming a cripple.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	The pain came over me like waves. The doctors put me on some awful, drug
 called 
	&lt;em&gt;Arava&lt;/em&gt; which just made me numb and turned my skin all yellow. I
 dropped that like a hot potato.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	Then suddenly I couldn't walk. I started using a cane, and then they 
put me on crutches, but I couldn't even drag myself into church, the 
pain was so bad. My mother-in-law had two wheelchairs and gave me one to
 use so I could get to the park and enjoy the outdoors and  meet my 
family and friends. My husband could wheel me to my favorite chair at 
church. I kept praying of course, I always have. God didn't send any of 
us here to be unhealthy or unhappy.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	By chance, though knowing it's all part of life's plan, I got the 
name and phone number of Wayne Garland who was experienced in alternative, 
non-drug therapy. The story was that he'd saved a person's mother from a
 bad heart, without surgery or drugs many years ago, and she was 
doing just fine right up to this day.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	By the time I called, lifting the phone was about the only thing I 
could do physically. My neck wouldn't turn left or right anymore. My 
ankles, knees, hip bones, elbows even my wrists could barely move and if
 they did, they felt like they were on fire the pain was so bad. 
Everything was swollen up something awful looking.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	Well this man with a funny-sounding accent said he'd fix it all if I'd do what he said. First he sent me his recipes - 
	&lt;a href="/shop/Meals-That-Heal-Recipe-Book" &lt;strong="" target="_blank"&gt;Meals that Heal&lt;/a&gt; - he called them.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	I'd gotten terribly overweight without any exercise, it was 
embarrassing. He told me to stop all dairy products - milk, cheese and 
such, as dairy creates inflammation in the body.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	I've been on these special soups and meals, and dropped meat from my diet for just about six weeks now and guess what? 
	&lt;strong&gt;I've lost over 30lbs. Yes, 30lbs!&lt;/strong&gt; Friends don't recognize me. My dresses float on me. The loss of weight makes moving so much easier now.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	Then he put me on some special formulas from India and China. I was already taking some things, but he added stuff I had never 
heard of before; 
	&lt;strong&gt;Curcumin, Omega Fatty Acids, Ionic Minerals from the ocean, a special Bone Density formula to rebuild my bones and muscles and his Ultra D3 formula.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	Guess what? I can walk now. It's just from room to room, 
	&lt;strong&gt;BUT I CAN WALK&lt;/strong&gt;. My neck moves again, so I can turn and look at the world and see what's going on around me.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	All the swelling in my ankles and knees, wrists and elbows has gone, gone, gone. Best of all? The pain has disappeared. Disappeared. Without any drugs now, remember.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	I'll still need the crutches for awhile and the good old wheelchair too, but this is all happening after just a month and a bit on the program.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	My husband Marshall says my back isn't straight enough and that I need some therapy. We'll get to that soon enough.
	&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	God sure works in mysterious ways doesn't he?
	&lt;br&gt;
	Liliana Prange, Woodhaven, MI
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Liliana's belief in herself that has really made 
all this truly work.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Here's a summary of the all-natural formulas Liliana used to restore normal function and mobility:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/shop/Super-Curcumin-C3" target="_blank"&gt;Super Curcumin C3 Complex&lt;/a&gt; - fights inflammation, boosts immune system. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an immune system dysfunction.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/shop/Bone-Density-Skeletal-Support" target="_blank"&gt;Bone Density&lt;/a&gt; - total bone nutritional generation formula.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/shop/Omega-3-6-9" target="_blank"&gt;Omega 3/6/9&lt;/a&gt; - fatty acids fight inflammation and pain.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/shop/Life-Transfusion-Liquid-Mineral-Complex" target="_blank"&gt;Life Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex&lt;/a&gt; - high Magnesium and all 84 minerals and trace minerals to rebuild a skeleton.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/shop/Ultra-D3" target="_blank"&gt;Ultra D3&lt;/a&gt;
	- vitamin D and K are the two essential vitamins necessary for Calcium conversion and 
activation, directing the flow of Calcium from the bloodstream into the 
bones along with lowering inflammatory pain.
	&lt;/li&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;The Arthritis Pain in My Hands Was Unbearable!&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My name is Anna Marie Calabrese and I'm from Italy. My family is from the village of Toro in Compobasso, have you heard of it?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We all talk with our hands!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When we aren't talking, we're eating, and sometimes we do both at 
once. I raised my family around the kitchen table, eating and talking, 
that's Italy.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Then my hands became frozen from arthritis. My fingers were like sticks. I couldn't cook. And I couldn't talk!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The pain was so bad that I couldn't bend my fingers or make my pasta,
 my sauces or soups. It was so bad that sometimes I would cry.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then my boy Michael told me about his friend Wayne Garland who had helped him. I refused to go to doctors - I don't trust them. But Wayne is different - he calls you back when you leave a message.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He listened to my story and said he'd fix me in no time. The man's a saint. He sent me this bottle of pills in the mail - it was called "Celadrin". My fingers moved again, I could hardly believe it. The pain disappeared in what seemed like just a few minutes.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then a disaster occurred. I ran out! I didn't want to bother my 
husband, he has so much to do, so I called Mr Garland myself and got him to send more of his Celadrin pills.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was in tears waiting for the pills, but cried even more when the 
box arrived - because I knew my pain would be gone - and I could cook 
and talk with my hands once again.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you! This is a miracle, I'm going to tell the world.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

A key ingredient in particular, Celadrin® is a cellular health breakthrough that aids cells to rapidly repair and rejuvenate. Studies have shown Celadrin to be fast acting and more effective than Glucosamine.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left: 20px;"&gt;By enhancing the lipid structure of the cell membrane and 
restoring the vital fluids that increase elasticity, Celadrin acts as a cellular lubricant, beneficial for reducing skin wrinkles, speeding injury recovery and even effective for athletes seeking faster recovery between workouts.

	A lot of skeptics say that natural medicine is all make-believe and fancy "placebo effect" science.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	You'll be inspired by Stephen's story and his fight to overcome chronic back pain at a young age. Tell everyone you know to watch it, and together we will refute the critics once and for all.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	After the doctors told him he had degenerative disc disease and 
arthritis in his lower back and that there was nothing that could be 
done and it would only get worse with time, Stephen decided to give our 
	&lt;a href="/shop/Bone-Density"&gt;Bone Density&lt;/a&gt; formula and our special &lt;a href="/shop/Meals-That-Heal-Recipe-Book"&gt;Meals that Heal&lt;/a&gt; recipes a try.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;After all, what did he have to lose but the pain?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	In just three months, he felt like a new man - and better than he had in 10 years!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	Wayne's comments:
	&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;em&gt;It is estimated that over 60% of America suffers bone degeneration. 
Osteoporosis in particular is nearly epidemic. Drugs are useless in 
fighting this and the side effects from hastily approved and rushed to 
market drugs like Vioxx and Celebrex are downright dangerous!
	&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;When my daughter Ashley turned 16, we found out she had thyroid 
    cancer.&lt;/h1&gt; I have a deep faith in God and all of our family prayed so hard &lt;p&gt;for her to be saved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Ashley is now 21, but back then we didn’t know anything. The doctors 
said surgery was the only way to go, that it was “a matter of life or 
death.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Every day since then has been one long, dark nightmare, especially 
for my little girl. Would I ever see her become the magnificent young 
woman that I knew was within her?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Not only did they cut out her thyroid but they removed most of her 
lymph glands as well. For four long years, its been one trip after 
another to the hospital in West Palm Beach. It seemed that with every 
visit, the doctors would say that her counts were still climbing and 
there was residual cancer around her neck area.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	But I know something, maybe you do too. The devil only comes to kill,
 rob and destroy and there is a God that can turn anything around if you
 ask him with all your heart.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	A good friend told me that I needed to call Wayne Garland in Arkansas, who had overcome cancer naturally, and did things differently. So I gave 
him a call and incredible coincidences started happening.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	He wanted Ashley on a special diet of fresh, organic fruits and 
vegetables that we were to make up as healing soups and also to juice 
and drink. Lo and behold, a friend turned up with a juicing machine and 
showed us how to get started. He had a bunch of pills too for Ashley's 
thyroid and immune system. And no more partying and late nights out with
 friends (that was tough at first!) so Ashley could get lots of good 
sleep every night to help the healing process.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Word of Ashley's condition got to a thyroid doctor at Tampa General 
and we rushed up to see him as this seemed like another “gift” from out 
of nowhere. He said that the tumor had shrunk from one centimeter to 
just millimeters (hallelujah!) and not to do another invasive biopsy, 
just to leave it alone and see what six months would do on this new 
program.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	That moment, when the doctor walked out with these results, I could 
hear deep within me God telling me that Ashley had been healed and that 
the next tests will show it all to be gone.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	It has only been three months since we started working with Wayne, 
but Ashley is completely off Synthroid®, the artificial thryoid drug 
that was making her so groggy, sluggish and exhausted.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	His natural formulas, especially the &lt;a href="/shop/Thyroid-Energy"&gt;Thyroid Energy&lt;/a&gt; formula, have really turned her around. Her energy and clarity is just amazing. He even put her on a special &lt;a href="/shop/Balanced-Woman"&gt;Balanced Woman&lt;/a&gt; natural hormone formula, because she has never had a normal menstrual cycle in all her life, but she does now.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My little girl is coming back to us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	I want everyone to know of this miracle, that you can overcome 
anything and God will help you, just hold onto his hand. To all our 
family and all our friends reading this, thank you for all you have 
done, for all your prayers and the never-ending support and love you 
have given us.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	God be with you.

    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;Cholesterol Over 600 and 100% Blockage in 2 Main Arteries&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My husband Carl had 100% blockage in two main arteries and the other was 60% blocked! Carl started to have chest pains when working in the yard or out in the cold and he was very tired all the time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	The doctor ordered a heart catheterization and found that all three arteries had clogged up, two were 100% totally clogged, and the other had over 60% blockage. 
	&lt;strong&gt;Carl’s cholesterol level was over 600.&lt;/strong&gt; (No, this is not a misprint) and &lt;strong&gt;his triglycerides were 1,233!&lt;/strong&gt; (again, not a misprint.)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Carl had a triple by-pass operation 13 years ago and wasn't about to go through it all over again, as the pain nearly killed him the first time. So, the doctor put a stent into the one artery with only 60% blockage and said that was all he could do for Carl.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	We were both desperate to do something more. That’s when it hit me - call Wayne Garland. He had done so much for us and others over the years with his formulas.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	I dug up his number and called him out of the blue. He said he had a program for Carl that would de-clog his arteries, get his cholesterol down and also shed the pounds of extra weight, so his heart would work easier.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	And get this, with &lt;strong&gt;no drugs or surgery&lt;/strong&gt;! Wayne did completely changed Carl's diet.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;No Meat&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;  No Dairy of any kind&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;  No Pizzas, Big Macs or Fried Chicken&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	The foods we ate were fresh and all vegetarian - salads and lightly steamed vegetables with virgin Olive oil and lemon dressing. 
	&lt;a href="/recipes/Miracle-Potassium-Broth-Recipe"&gt;Miracle Potassium Broth&lt;/a&gt; soup was eaten every day with lots of broccoli and cabbage and garlic, with Flax Seed Oil stirred into it. No white sugar, no white flour.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Carl also started taking 
	&lt;a href="http://store13443.americommerce.com/shop/Cholesteine-Cholesterol-and-Homocysteine-Control"&gt;Cholesteine&lt;/a&gt; formula at high dosages. After one week, we went back to check the stent with the heart doctor and &lt;strong&gt;Carl's cholesterol dropped nearly 400 points to 221!&lt;/strong&gt; (not a misprint) &lt;strong&gt;His triglycerides were now 504.&lt;/strong&gt; In just one week!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	The doctor couldn’t believe it. We were thrilled to say the least.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	The program meant lots of walking too, slowly at first but Carl quickly got up to the target of 45 minutes a day.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	We checked his blood pressure and pulse continually and these came down too - like magic. His blood pressure fell from 145 to 105 and his cholesterol kept falling like a stone. It is now down to 154 and the triglycerides are down to 235.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Carl's doctor just kept shaking his head and saying, 
	&lt;strong&gt;“whatever it is that you’re doing, keep it up, it’s working.”&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	We then added 
	&lt;a href="http://store13443.americommerce.com/shop/Life-Transfusion-Liquid-Mineral-Complex"&gt;Life Transfusion Liquid Minerals&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;with high Magnesium to help Carl’s heart beat easier and to dissolve the Calcium in the arteries.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Carl also started using an incredible soybean paste with honey called 
	&lt;a href="http://store13443.americommerce.com/shop/Nattokinase"&gt;Nattokinase&lt;/a&gt; that they use in Japan for all artery blockages.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;strong&gt;Carl’s weight dropped fast too.&lt;/strong&gt; Pounds just came off, to the point that I had to take-in all his clothes as they just hung on him like a scarecrow. He’s out doing yard-work again, on his treadmill every day and full of energy. It’s just amazing to see the difference in him.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	We thank God for the help we received from the My Body as Doctor team, caring enough to show us the true way to a healthier life, free of disease.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Annette Crawford&lt;br&gt; Montgomery, MI
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	p.s. Two of our friends are on the program too and seeing the same drastic changes in their cholesterol, weight and blood pressure.
&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;
	My name is Arthur Cranstoun and I just got 
out of prison. I was a Tobacco prisoner, hooked on the filthy weed for 
nearly fifty years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Oh, I sure tried to quit, I tried everything under the sun. I knew it
 was killing me, and worse, it was killing everyone around me too. Like I said, I tried and tried and tried and failed every time to quit smoking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Then I was told about this Wayne Garland fella and his team. Long story short, 
	&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;after 46 years, I have quit smoking! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;And get this,&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; I don't miss it one little bit!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Listen to me now; I tried every damn thing in the universe to stop 
smoking. The patch, chewing gums, fake cigarettes, Commit, hypnosis, 
hocus pocus pills, the lot. Even good old Will Power didn’t work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	You see, this guy is real cunning. He didn’t just come up with
 just another pill or potion, he came up with an entire “system” that 
understands the nicotine addiction and the way to beat it. I wouldn’t be
 telling you this story if it wasn’t true, that just isn’t me as anyone 
who knows me can tell you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	This &lt;strong&gt;Smoker’s Cure&lt;/strong&gt; is a 5-part program. You start out slowly (this 
reduces the failure rate of over-expectation) and take a little capsule 
of herbs each day for three weeks before your "Quit Day" to get your 
body ready for the nicotine withdrawal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Then, on the day you’ve marked on your calendar in big red letters as
 your Quit Day, you take a bath. True! A long, soaking detox bath with
 a batch of funny herbs that sucks out all the years of nicotine in your
 skin and tissues. This goes on for 3 days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	And you then brew up his Tobacco Cure Tea, this stuff is brutal at 
first, but one day I had a bunch of errands in town and forgot to bring 
along some of the Cure Tea, boy was that a rough day! I doubled-up on 
the tea as soon as I got home and the cravings settled right down.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	There’s even a special Tranquilizer Tea that you have on standby 
for whenever your nerves get jangled. He’s thought of everything.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	And here's the stroke of genius; you actually get to smoke. A secret 
cigarette, a collection of some weird herbs, so you can smoke without 
smoking, if you know what I mean.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	By the end of the first week, 
	&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;yes just one week&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, the 
cravings were barely noticeable and within two weeks, I no longer had 
any cravings or desire to smoke at all. I mean, that’s just incredible! 
And to me, the most important part in quitting smoking, is 
	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;No More Cravings!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wayne calls cigarettes Coffin Nails. If you don’t want to end 
up in a box, do what I did and stop today. Get the kit. You won’t 
believe how fast this program works.
	&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;strong&gt;My comments: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" alt="No Smoking sign" src="/images/articles/No-Smoking_200x200.jpg"&gt;We all know that smoking kills, 2nd hand smoking kills and now even 3rd
 hand smoke - the smoke particles that stick to seemingly everything - 
are demonstrated to carry carcinogens that kill too.  
	&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61753920100209"&gt;Read the report here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;em&gt;If that wasn't enough, another &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6195GM20100210"&gt;study from Hong Kong&lt;/a&gt; shows how 2nd hand smoke dramatically raises TB risk, particularly in women.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;em&gt;No one is safe, particularly innocent babies and children trapped in a smoking environment.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;em&gt;his special Smoker's Cure Program,
 developed by a close friend of mine, is the answer to your 
prayers. Smoker's Cure is a complete, five-part herbal program to 
detoxify your body and break nicotine's addictive hold on you.
	&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;em&gt;Everyone who tries it, who is committed to quitting smoking, has had the same positive result as Arthur did.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;em&gt;If you’re in “Nicotine Prison”, call us now. We've got your release papers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

	Today's story comes from the desk of 
	&lt;a href="http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/cannellBiography.shtml"&gt;Dr. John Cannell, MD&lt;/a&gt;, Executive Director of the &lt;a href="http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/"&gt;Vitamin D Council&lt;/a&gt;, a non-profit group dedicated to educating the public and professionals about &lt;a href="http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/vdds.shtml"&gt;Vitamin D Deficiency&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	It shows the dramatic healing capacity of Vitamin D3 on one of the most baffling epidemics of modern time - childhood Autism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Note: The mother's letter below has been edited for brevity. You can 
read the full account on the Vitamin D Council's newsletter archives, 
titled, 
	&lt;a href="http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/newsletter/another-autism-case-report.shtml"&gt;Another Autism Case Report&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Reprinted with permission.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;strong&gt;Dear Dr. Cannell:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	At age 2.5 years, between December 2007 and January 2008, my son 
experienced a fairly dramatic onset of symptoms that led to his 
diagnosis of autism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	We took our son to see a number of specialists during the winter of 
2008 including a neurologist (who diagnosed him with Asperger Syndrome),
 a psychologist (who diagnosed with autism), and a second psychologist 
who specialized in the treatment of autism (who diagnosed him with 
Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not-Otherwise-Specified). All three 
diagnoses are on the autism spectrum. He also began seeing an 
occupational therapist, a speech therapist, a behavioral specialist, and
 a DAN! (Defeat Autism Now!) doctor for dietary interventions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	We saw a dramatic improvement by April/May of that year. Nearly all 
the symptoms on the list above had resolved. We assumed the improvements
 were due to diet but he started to go into the sun around that time. 
Our son slept well and spent many peaceful, happy and anxiety-free 
months during the spring and summer after turning three.
	&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;img src="http://www.askdrgarland.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" title="More..."&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	By December, our son's symptoms had worsened further and we decided 
to put him in a very expensive and intensive autism treatment program 
through our local hospital. He made slow progress during his 
participation in the program from January through April. He was also 
involved in speech and occupational therapy during the winter months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	During that winter, I was crying to some friends about my son and 
describing his seemingly seasonal pattern of symptoms. We had just seen a
 second neurologist searching for help, and I was extremely frustrated 
when, after listening to my son's symptoms and history, he told me 
bluntly, 
	&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"There is nothing seasonal about autism,"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; then suggested that we put our son on an anti-depressant. We refused the medication.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	One of the friends I was crying to is a research librarian and the 
other is a medical researcher. After our conversation, they located and 
e-mailed me a few journal articles they thought might help, one of the 
articles was by Dr. Cannell and discussed his 
	&lt;a href="http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/health/autism/"&gt;vitamin D theory of autism&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Reading the article was one of those "Aha!" moments and I felt hopeful that Dr. Cannell was on to something.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	By June our son was released from both speech therapy and 
occupational therapy and we were told that he no longer showed any 
delays for his age. When he had begun occupational therapy in January, 
the OT had been astonished at our son's lack of muscle tone. She 
recommended that he also receive Physical Therapy services, so we went 
on a long waiting list. Our initial OT was in a car accident, and in May
 we were transferred to a new OT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	When the new OT first saw our son, she said could not believe he was 
the same child described in the notes. By May the low muscle tone, 
hyperactivity and distractibility noted in his file, were no longer 
evident. His turn came up for physical therapy and we were told he no 
longer needed it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Our son has always spent a lot of time outdoors in the summer, 
without sunblock. He had a happy and relaxing summer. As 
fall/back-to-school approached, I began to fear the onset of another 
regression and again read the article by Dr. Cannell my friend had sent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	I visited his website and decided we would try a vitamin D 
supplement. Our pediatrician did not encourage any dose higher than 400 
i.u. (that found in a typical multivitamin) but did write a script to 
have his 
	&lt;a href="http://www.zrtlab.com/vitamindcouncil/"&gt;25-hydroxy level tested&lt;/a&gt;.
 In August his level was 37, so we started him on 5,000 iu daily and had
 his level retested on October 21st. By October his level was 96. The 
pediatrician was concerned that this was too high and told us he should 
not have more than 400 iu per day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Knowing that Nov-March are typically his worst months, we reduced the
 dosage down only to 3,000 iu from October through mid-December. At an 
appointment in December our son was doing wonderfully (none of his usual
 fall/winter symptoms yet evident) and the pediatrician told us 3,000 iu
 was too much and that we should be giving no more than 400 iu.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	In mid-December we reduced the dose to 1,500 iu. By the beginning of 
January we noted a marked loss of eye contact. We also noted that our 
son was again interchanging his right hand for writing and eating (after
 using his left hand exclusively for 8+ months). We increased his 
vitamin D level to 4,000 iu daily in early January. On January 11 we had
 his 25-Hydroxy level checked on January 11 and found that it was 89. By
 the end of January, we and his grandparents noted improvement in his 
eye contact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	In January 2010 we attended his preschool conferences. The teacher 
had marked cards with the following code (1=age appropriate, 
2=developing, 3=area of concern). Our son received 1s in all areas with 
the exception of hopping on one foot and balance beam where he received 
2s. We were told that he is on par with or ahead of his peers in all 
areas (academic, fine motor, etc.), and that his teacher had noted no 
unusual symptoms or concerns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	During the fall/winter 2009-2010 our son has been free from nearly 
all of the most troubling symptoms that plagued him the previous two 
winters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Jeannette, Wisconsin&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;strong&gt;Dear Jeanette:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	You're welcome. Several things need comment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	First, the symptoms are typical of autism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Second, the seasonality of symptoms suggest a vitamin D deficient disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Third, the treatment in the spring of 2008 seemed effective but, in hindsight, it was simply due to spring sun exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Fourth, as you may now know, light boxes for seasonal affective disorder make no vitamin D.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Fifth, your pediatrician knows little about Vitamin D other than what
 committees tell him; your decision to ignore his advice probably saved 
your son's brain from further injury, as autism is a progressive 
inflammatory destruction of brain tissue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Sixth, the fact that you needed bed rest and gave birth prematurely suggests you were Vitamin D deficient during your pregnancy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Seventh, his twin sister has never had autism, despite the same 
intrauterine environment. This is consistent with my theory, that autism
 is caused from a quantitative, not qualitative, variation is one of the
 enzymes that metabolize Vitamin D. That is, there are no structural 
differences in these enzymes in autism, only a genetically determined 
difference in the amount present. These enzymes are responsive to 
estrogen; estrogen protects the brain from being damaged by low Vitamin 
D, probably by increasing the amount of activated Vitamin D present, 
explaining why boys are four times more likely to have the disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The report that your son deteriorated when his dose was reduced from 
3,000 to 1,500 IU suggests autistic children need adult doses of Vitamin
 D. When you reduced the dose from 3,000 to 1,500 IU/day he worsened 
although his level on 1,500 IU/day was probably still greater than 50 
ng/ml. This makes me think that dosage needs to be stable and suggests 
that Professor Reinhold Vieth's theory of a detrimental seasonal 
resetting of the intercellular metabolism of Vitamin D may even be true 
at levels above 50 ng/ml, where the body is storing the parent compound,
 cholecalciferol, in muscle and fat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	His current dose of 4,000 IU per day is perfectly safe and will give 
him a level of 80-100 ng/ml, inside the reference ranges of American 
laboratories. Toxicity (asymptomatic high blood calcium) begins 
somewhere above 200 ng/ml. Generally speaking, autistic children should 
take 2,000 IU per every 25 pounds of body weight for six weeks, then 
have a 25(OH)D blood test and adjust the dosage to get into the high end
 of the reference range, 80-100 ng/ml.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Although I first published the Vitamin D theory of autism theory 3 
years ago, few autistic children are currently treated for their Vitamin
 D deficiency. This is due to several reasons. One, those who think, 
correctly, that autism is a genetic disease, stop thinking after that, 
reasoning that genetic diseases are untreatable. Such thinkers do not 
understand epigenetics (upon the genome). Vitamin D is probably the 
heart of epigenetics, as nothing works upon the genome like vitamin D.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Secondly, the "all autism is caused from vaccinations" crowd cannot 
accept the Vitamin D possibility as it threatens their core beliefs. 
They simply cannot change their minds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Finally, as you now know, organized medicine would say you should 
stop the vitamin D and watch your son deteriorate, which is why slavery 
to evidence based medicine is fine for scientists and unethical for 
practitioners.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
