Addictions, Hypoglycemia, Lumps & Polyps, Weight, Gingivitis
"I had reached a point in my life where I was physically, mentally, and spiritually
bankrupt, I realized I needed a complete overhaul, having been addicted to alcohol,
drugs, sugar, and hyper-stimulation along with a wide variety of physical infirmities.
If my life was not in chaos I didn't feel secure. Stress was my motto. On the way
to a final crash, my mother's loving voice cried out that I should attend Hippocrates
Health Institute. I walked through their doors terrified, but with great hope. I
have finally learned that everything that happened in life that bothered me was
more about my perception of and reaction to them than what is really true. I have
maintained the program for the past three years during which time my weight has
regulated, a lump disappeared, the polyp on my vocal chord is almost non-existent,
my surgery for gingivitis was no longer necessary, and my hypoglycemia has come
under control. Last year, feeling renewed, I graduated from the Health Educator
Course and have now dedicated my life to teaching people about living foods and
benefits of the Hippocrates lifestyle. One of my endeavors has been to create a
wheatgrass and sprout farm in Webster, Florida, near Tampa. Thank you Hippocrates,
now I have the love and serenity in life that I had been searching for".

Uterine Cancer
"Two years, 10 months, and 18 days ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I was 31 when
I went into the hospital for what was supposed to be a simple procedure to remove
a blood clot that was on my uterus. However, it turned out to be a grapefruit sized
tumor growing out of my uterus that was touching my ovary, bladder, colon, and abdominal
wall. My surgeons removed my uterus and one ovary and told me that they did their
best to scrape any remaining cells from the surrounding organs. The diagnosis was
a pelvic sarcoma with a very aggressive cell type. Since it is an uncommon tumor,
it is hard to give an accurate statistical prognosis; however, I do know that things
were looking grim. My oncologist, with whom I have a wonderful relationship, gave
me six cycles of intensive chemotherapy over the next four months.
Four weeks after completing "conventional" therapy, I went to Hippocrates. I was
bald, skinny, weak, menopausal, anemic, and had a low white blood cell count. I
spent three weeks at Hippocrates, and a different member of my immediate family
stayed with me each week. I had a wonderful experience there and took the program
home with me (as did each member of my family, much to their surprise). I have been
juicing 5 times a day (2 wheatgrass, 1 cucumber, and 2 green drinks) since then
and eat the mostly raw, vegan, organic diet I learned about at Hippocrates. I bought
a second Champion juicer that I leave at work so I can juice there. This lifestyle
definitely requires a strong commitment, and two years later I am still refining
my routine so that it fits more easily into my day, but I can assure you that the
benefits have been stupendous. I feel well and am told I look well.
As best as modern medicine can tell, there is no evidence of cancer in my body.
I recently became engaged to a wonderful man and, though he eats a fairly standard
American diet, he is very supportive and encouraging of what I do. The best news
of all is that over the past few weeks my remaining ovary has started functioning
again! With the support of this lifestyle, I am now looking forward to a long life
full of good times and health".

Gallstones, Weight, Exhaustion
"Arriving at Hippocrates open minded, but overweight and worn out, I knew I was
searching for more than a three-week life-change program. Within two days I signed
up for the Health Educator Program and remained at Hippocrates’ healthy and healing
oasis until becoming a new person. Throughout my detoxification, pounds were dropping
as fast as the gallstones were leaving, and I found myself avoiding the gallstone
operation that my physicians were encouraging. What was most memorable at Hippocrates
was the way the directors and staff gave us permission to be who we are; they never
used dogma or extremism to persuade us in any way. The knowledge I received from
Anna Maria on live blood analysis, emotional insights gained through psychoneuroimmunology,
and the way I feel today, contrasted with my former life, have created a new destiny
for me. As we were taught, happiness is our core ambition. Engaging positive thoughts,
consuming living foods, moving, exercising and becoming friends with our bodies,
along with cultivating our faith in God will bring us a life of success and family.
The program allowed me to dismantle, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, while
giving me the support, guidance, and strength to piece myself back together again.
I can honestly say now that one of the most profound experiences in my life, other
than giving birth to my children, is becoming a Hippocrates Health Educator".

Bone Malformations, Pain, Confinement to a Wheelchair, Hydrophobia
"I was born in Quebec in 1942. Doctors told my parents that I had a malformed left
hip, one that eventually caused change in the shape and position of my legs, back,
and neck. Although I always had pain, I did not want to take medication, because
I knew that it would alter my state of mind and rob me of the rare moments of happiness
that fate had afforded me. Allopathic physicians were not able to help me — in fact
they said that I would eventually need a wheelchair. I did not know where to turn.
During the last 20 years, I have not been able to sleep on my back. However, I eventually
discovered complementary health care and began the long process of self-healing.
A year ago, I was perusing the newspaper and saw an article about The Hippocrates
Institute. I called my friend, Francine, and asked whether she would come with me
to Florida so that we could undergo the program.
My visit was extraordinary! After all of the years of frustration, I could not believe
what was happening. What I liked the most was the wheatgrass therapy. After just
3 days, the malformation on my left hip — which had been there for 62 years — began
to diminish. During a consultation, Brian advised me to use magnets by placing them
on the most painful areas of my body. He also counseled me to do three types of
exercises in the pools at Hippocrates. (This was an exceptional challenge for me,
because I had drowned and been pronounced dead when I was 5 years old! I was saved
and resuscitated, but since then I’ve had a terrible fear of water.)
One of Brian's suggestions was that I use weights on my legs as I move freely in
the water. Initially, this was difficult but with the help of the loving staff —
members, specifically Joyce Ann, I did it. Within one month, the pain in my leg
was gone! And, in 1-1/2 months I was rid of all of the pain in my legs, back, hip,
and neck.
I am enjoying the living cuisine, consuming three green drinks a day, and following
the program to a tee. I swim like a fish three times a week, walk every morning
for 3/4 of an hour, and do stretching exercises every day at home. I am very grateful
to everyone at Hippocrates, and I know that I will never again be in a wheelchair.
My stay at Hippocrates Health Institute changed my life forever. And I will always
use and cherish everything that I have learned there. Now, I can play with my grandchildren,
ride a bike, and have a wonderful life. The Institute is a very important place
for everyone; for me, it saved my life! I hope that others make this oasis part
of their lives; not only to heal themselves but also to become examples of what
God intended for us all — a pain-free, healthy life"!

Unhealed Broken Bones
"Many people suffer from broken bones. I have had various severe breaks in and around
my ankles. Several years ago, I broke my fifth metatarsal in two places. When the
cast was removed, I learned that one of the clean breaks had not healed. The orthopedist
suggested securing the area with screws; this was not a good idea, because I had
already had such surgeries and could not endure any more. I had no idea what to
do. A friend suggested that I call The Hippocrates Health Institute. I talked to
the Director, Brian Clement, who advised me to start a vegan, living-food diet that
would build my bones. He also counseled me to use magnets. Although his contributions
were helpful and I saw results, I had still not completely healed after several
months. After considerable contemplation, I realized that it would be best to attend
the program. I called Brian and told him that I needed to attend the 3-Week Life
Change Program but could not afford it. He responded, "You cannot afford not
to come!"
So I did. And during my stay, I focused on electromagnetic therapy, therapeutic
movement, and adherence to The Hippocrates Diet, including green drinks and wheatgrass.
After the three weeks of the program, my health and attitude had improved significantly,
and x-rays showed that the bone had healed completely.
Some time later, I was dancing at a fair in my hometown of Key West. My orthopedic
doctor was there and looked at me with great surprise. He could not believe that
I was dancing so effortlessly; so, he asked what I had done to correct my problem.
I told him that Hippocrates had not only changed my bones but also my whole life.
I have subsequently returned to Hippocrates twice, and I hope to continue to spend
more time there.
I have traveled throughout the world in search of wonders. After my experience at
Hippocrates, I came to realize that in my home state of Florida there is an Institute
full of wonders that is attended by people from every part of the globe"!

Poor Immunity, Meningitis, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol,
Arthritis, Pain and Cramps, Seizure, Brain Tumor
"When I was eight, my spleen ruptured, and doctors had to remove it. During the
procedure, they determined that my intestines were ‘turned around’; so, they decided
to remove a part of them. My dad let them do it, because they said it was important.
Subsequently and throughout my childhood, I was sick every year with colds and flus
that lasted for weeks. My doctors told me that I needed inoculations against pneumonia
and flu because I had no spleen. In addition, I began to lose the hearing in my
left ear from tubes that had been placed into my ears when I was a child. My health
challenges continued into adulthood and I began contracting systemic infections.
Shortly after I was married, I developed spinal meningitis and nearly died; my body
was covered with sores. And, one of my subsequent medical examinations revealed
that I had hypertension, high cholesterol, and an arthritic disc in my back. I also
had constant pain in my neck and arms, in addition to continuous cramping in my
legs from which I had suffered throughout my life.
On Saint Patrick's Day in March of 2003, I had a massive grand-mal seizure. When
I awoke, I told my wife not to be upset but that something else had just happened.
I went to a doctor who sent me for a CAT-scan; he told me that I had a lesion —
a large tumor — in my brain. He added that I should get an MRI for a better view
of it, saying that the growth was connected to the part of my brain that facilitates
thought and controls the body, and that it was inoperable. He wanted to consult
with my family, saying that if this happened to his wife, he would send her to Columbia
Hospital. The tumor had been growing in my brain for so long that it had become
interwoven into the brain tissue; he suggested that I leave the growth alone and
take Dilanten for seizures. My doctor stated that it would eventually grow and,
when it did, 70% of the mass could be removed. At that time, if I survived this
procedure, I would have to endure radiation and chemotherapy.
I was no longer able to work or play with my children, and was sleeping 18 to 20
hours per day. While I was counting the days, a friend of my parents told me that
Hippocrates had helped both him and his mother. So, my parents sent me there for
the program. It was problematic for me at first, because I had difficulty sitting
and concentrating; however, I persevered and, in the process, learned to understand
and appreciate what The Institute had to offer. I remained loyal to this affirmative
lifestyle and began making an incredible transformation. All of my life-altering
disorders, high blood pressure, excess cholesterol, chronic pain, and even the activity
in my tumor, have either disappeared or are in remission. According to my latest
MRI, there are two dead spots in the middle of the tumor and the swelling is gone.
I am now the healthiest that I have ever been"!
