Project Description
Jeff, BC, Canada
“ The benefits are huge. They’ve changed my life, and I didn’t even know that I needed so many things changed. It’s like a domino effect, in the sense that I came for sleep, and now it’s like all these things have aligned, and it’s life-changing… My only regret is that I didn’t come here five or ten years ago. But I would say I can definitely notice, I look a little younger, and it gives you your life back, essentially .”
Improvements with: Adrenal Fatigue, Digestive Health, Hair, Skin and Nails, High Blood Pressure, Inflammation, Insomnia/ Sleep Issues, Low Energy/ Chronic Fatigue, Muscle and Joint Issues, Neuropathy, Post-Accident/ Fall Recovery, Weight Loss/ Obesity.
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Insomnia: 4 Trazodones (first night it was 8), handfuls of Melatonin and NyQuil Nightly; slept 0-3 hours a night of a very broken sleep; very tired in the morning. Normally, before I would go to sleep, I was already worried whether I was gonna be sleeping one hour, three hours, or be up all night and how it would affect my day and what I had to do… I was hearing every day: ”You don’t want to make dad mad. dad hasn’t slept again.” | 1 Trazodone, sleep 4-6.5 hrs, uninterrupted sleep, feel well-rested in the morning, like when you’re young, you wake up and you’re up and refreshed. It’s been years since it happened. Now, I am not worried about not sleeping at all. I just wake up and feel energized. I feel like a teenager. I’m so giddy. Cause it’s an interesting feeling to feel this good again. |
| Low Energy: I used to drag my butt around. | Even if it’s five in the morning and I’ve slept five hours, I’m energized and it is consistent throughout the day, which made me the happiest, ‘cause I’m back to my old self, chipper and happy. |
| Body Inflammation – I was achy. My inflammation was awful. I couldn’t get through the day without pain and would wake up with pain. I was experiencing numbness and pain in my entire body. | On day three, here, I noticed a difference. I noticed that the pain significantly decreased. |
| Left arm pain – was seven to eight out of ten. A majority of the side would’ve probably been within that range of 6-10. The right side, just throughout the day – ongoing pain, numbness, stiff, sore and achy. | Now on a scale 1 to 10, I experience pain may be 1 to two a day. Sometimes I don’t even think or evn realize I get through the day. I felt amazing all day. |
| Knee Pain – both, but left more so from just some tearing hurt. I couldn’t run or do certain activities at the gym. The pain was 7-10 on my left one and 6 out of ten on my right one. | I’m not a runner, but I’ve started to run. I didn’t think I could. I’m going for a small run, and it feels good. I still need to work on my running skills, but I run for about 20 minutes, and that’s good for me. |
| Could not exercise – Just from the pain, the inflammation, I wasn’t able to exercise the way I would’ve like to, ro for the duration. Normally, I would cut into about 1/3. I always felt like I was on the verge of another muscle tear. When someone invited me for a walk, I’d be: “Great, I have to go for a walk, I’m gonna be in pain.” Normally, I would feel that I need to get an ibuprofen. | After all the therapies and appointments with everyone here and just following the program, I'm excited to get back home and get back to the way I used to exercise, mountain bike, to be able to look forward to doing the things I used to, to be able to go on the ice and play without sore knees or worried I’m gonna get hurt or this is gonna ache the whole time. It’s a feeling of relief. |
| Weight – Weight – I wasn’t intending to lose weight. | I lost 15 lbs. (by departure time) |
| Bleeding Gums – my doctor told me for years that I had bleeding gums. They dint’ really know why, because my teeth were healthy. | After four to five days on the program, I noticed that my gums weren’t bleeding. And then the next day and the next day, and that’s been 15 days, and they don’t bleed. |
| Cracking Feet – I had athletes' gross feet. They were dry and cracked and bled from sports. | My feet are not perfect, but the difference in the heels is that they are not cracked. They feel smooth. |
| Hair, skin and hands. Hands were red, puffy, swollen and numb, and I just couldn’t figure out why. | My hair feels incredibly soft, and my skin feels are soft. Even my hands. It’s just rejuvenating. |
| Burned out Adrenals – I was drinking tons of caffeine drinks to stay up, and blood and organ screen tests showed that my adrenals were exhausted. | I thought I was healthy because I was doing a lot of sports, working out, staying active and still eating relatively clean. And then I showed up here and did the organ screen and realized that I’m in a rough shape. |
| Blood Pressure Day 1: 170/116 | Blood Pressure Day 21: 139/ 90 (Lowest was 118/ 82) |
| Digestive Health – I didn’t realize how your digestion is being affected. | My digestive functions are working better, and things are flowing more smoothly. |
Experience Highlights:
- Everything. I came open-minded. I wanted to experience everything.
- The group activities, the classes are so informative and eye-opening. I really enjoyed those. You learn a lot of stuff that you can take with you, not just to show others, but to implement into your life.
- How we were treated like family – everyone is very nice. That positivity transfers over to us because a lot of people are not sleeping, and whatever their issues are. The positive attitude brings the entire group up.
- Other people on the program – all going through different things
- Food – the meals were beautifully planned. I was anti-vegetables. But after day two, I could see myself and said this to my family: I could eat salad for breakfast and these meals all the time now. I already have a plan in my head.
- Appointments, massages, different therapies, counselling – you can feel the care and that they genuinely want to help you. When you go to an appointment in town, they want you in and out, next person. And you feel that. I think that was a big part of my healing and my growing, just knowing that everybody is welcoming and there is no judgment. They are supporting, and it makes it very comfortable to share and do things with everybody.
- Colonics – I had a thousand reasons why I didn’t want to do it. And that was one of my favourite things. The people that do it, make it so easy to do the process. You think it would be something uncomfortable, and I was surprised.
