P.S. And I forgot to mention earlier, I haven't had any back pain for over a week now and I've been on the computer more in the past 2 weeks than I normally am. Just an hour on it before would make my back almost cramp up. My chiropractors aren't going to recognize me whenever I make my next visit.

Hello Adrian,

Life is full of surprises! I began the 13 day Tri-Decathalon only as a means of losing a few pounds. I told myself I'd be more than satisfied if I lost 8 pounds. I wasn't concerned too much about the "other health benefits" that my friend told me I'd experience. I felt that I was already eating properly (more or less), and I was as healthy as I'd probably ever be.

As I read the instructions that came with the Tri-Decathalon, I was a little taken aback when I realized that for the next 13 days I would not be eating any dairy foods, cooked veggies and fruits, meats, chicken or fish, sweets or deserts. Oh well. It would only be for 13 days.. and I could supplement with fresh salads and fruits, so how bad could it be?

Let me back up a little...
I was 75 years old in November. Along with age came the all the aches and pains that those of us lucky enough to have lived into old age fully expected because we have been told that all those aches and pains were perfectly NORMAL as we aged. Therefore I had accepted that the chronic pain in my left hip (diagnosed years ago by a "specialist" as bursitis) was how things were going to be for me.. live with pain, grin and bear it. After all, I'm OLD! What else could I expect?

What I didn't expect was that into my 4th day of the Tri-Decathalon the pain in my left hip that I had lived with for years would suddenly and inexplicitely vanish completely! Not a twinge! Over the years the pain had occasionally become so severe I had to have steroid shots and I even was prescribed Bextra on occasion. I almost routinely took Aleve on days when the aches became almost intolerable. As for walking..well, walking with a limp had become my normal gait.

The benefits continued. I have had problems with my digestive system for many years. The sudden improvement there was remarkable also. I was sleeping better. I felt more energized than I had in years. Only someone in my age category who has had to come to terms with feeling tired day after day would appreciate how great it was to suddenly feel the years fall away!

By the time I was coming down the home stretch, I knew that this was not a fluke, coincidence or a temporary reprieve from the problems of aging. I wasn't limping, even when walking distances. I was continuing to feel great day after day..! Wow!

The biggest change in my life has been that I now know can't afford to risk going back to my "other life" - My doctor had told me for years that I was lactose intolerant. Did I stop eating dairy? Of course not. When beginning the WFF program I did so because I had to in order to do it correctly. It taught me a valuable lesson. My body will rebel when I continue to force foods it neither can tolerate or wants.

Using the Whole Food Farmacy as the basis for making changes in my diet my health has improved to a degree I didn't ever think possible considering my age. Three months later my hip is still pain-free. This after about 10 years of living with chronic pain !
Again, WOW!

Hi Adrian, I started my Tri-Decathlon after witnessing its impact on a colleague at work who I had daily contact with during his 13 day event. I am a 51 year old male who is relatively active. I play golf and coach one of my sons basketball teams. I have always been a competitive person and played various sports throughout my years. Now at 51, I have experienced joint pain since my early twenties as a result of wear & tear on my knees from football and basketball. I also used to drink 5 to 6 Diet Mountain Dews every day. I only mention these things to give you some idea of where I was before starting the program. I am 62" tall and weighed 238 lbs. prior to starting the Tri-Decathlon. I had never cleansed my body and many can attest to my love to eat all types of food and large quantities as well. My only intent when starting the plan was to cleanse, or detox, my system, but what happened along with the way is totally amazing. I have totally transformed my whole outlook on my life and my eating and drinking habits in regard to living a healthy and satisfying life.

I began to notice a rapid change in my body as well as my mental and physical health. I used to swallow 4 pain pills a day for my joint pain. The pain virtually vanished during my Tri-Decathlon and I have now stopped taking any pain medication! I no longer drink the costly and caffeine laden Mountain Dews. I went from 238 lbs to 217 lbs using the Tri-Decathlon and whole food concepts, and I have been able to maintain this weight rather easily. Now my 30 minute daily walks have turned into 40 minutes and Ive gone from 2.5 miles to 3.5 miles in only 10 more minutes a day. I walk rain or shine with my little 6lb. dog, Tibet. People in my community often stop and ask how Ive been able to make such a sudden change in lifestyle.

But the one thing that had the greatest impact on me being able to make this change to eating better - with quality rather than quantity being my focus - was that one evening after work when my 13yr old son made the comment "Dad, since you have been on this program, you arent as grumpy as you normally are". This hit me right in my heart and made me realize the eating habits that I changed were having a dramatic, positive impact on my life and my loved ones.

I could go on and on about better sleep, less colds and illness, etc. I truly believe that by going thru the 13-Day Tri-Decathlon I have enriched my total life from the inside out."

Sincerely,

Rodney Scott

Adrian,

It is going very well! You probably heard that my big surprise and excitement was that Tara decided to do the Tri-D with me. Having her join me in living within good nutritional practice is a major victory. I lost 10-12 pounds, hovering now between 178 and 180, so there is still more to do. Tara lost about 9 pounds. Monday was our last day. I thought we would seriously binge when it was over. To my surprise, even faced with some of the foods I thought I would want at the end of 13 days, I have mostly been attracted to the healthier more whole choices. I also don't require as much food. Wow! The first day off, I had Phi + for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and a light sandwich for supper. Oh, by the way, we didn't eat all the food provided in the tri-d. Food was left over. Amazing!

The thing I most dreaded about this was drinking the "doctored" water. I just knew I would not like it. To my surprise, this was an exciting discovery. I did not need to add any fruit juice. I drank it straight. Regular, even bottled, water doesn't taste good now. I also noticed your body actually absorbs this and you don't pee it all out. It's like Gatorade without all of the sugar and junk. Wow!

I just bought a new pair of jeans. My old ones are even bigger than they were before. I am now 15 pounds away from my weight when Tara and I married. I'm pretty excited! That will put me at the top of the weight range (AMA) for my height. After that, I shoot for the bottom of the range 145. I'm planning on reaching 165 by January.

Thanks for letting me know about this. It has truly made doing the right thing a reality!

Peace,

Scott Sprad

"..Since both my husband and I had to lose weight, and because it was only a 13 day program, I knew I could do anything for 13 days. Seven days into the program I felt I had lost some weight, but figured it to be maybe 3 or 4 pounds max. I was getting ready for Church and thought to myself as I pulled out a dress (that I had not been able to get into for over a year) "I wonder how long it will take me to get into this one dress?" I slipped it on to check it out and it fit perfectly! Totally shocked, I decided to weigh myself the next morning even though I had six more days to go. It blew me away. I had lost 10 pounds. I could not believe it! I was expecting 3 or 4, but 10 pounds WOW!! I was never hungry, and I had energy to burn. By the end of the 13 days I had lost 16 pounds. This was unbelievable as I had been on every diet that has ever come down the pike. My husband lost 14 pounds!

I am so impressed with this program for several reasons. Even though I have been taking herbs and supplements for the past 17 years, I had developed a lung problem that caused me to have a rattling sound deep in my lungs. I just could not get rid of it. I noticed around the 16th day that my lungs were clear and the rattling sounds was gone...It is amazing how alive your body becomes and how it thanks you for giving it food that was created for us to eat naturally.

As of this date, I am down 21 pounds and my hubby is down 18 pounds. We will be on this forever!"

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for your concern. I am doing well using the Phi Plus food. I absolutely love it, and I've lost about 16lbs along with a few percentage points of body fat. The inflamation in my joints is next to gone, my skin is radiant and my energy level is very high. I have almost completely changed my eating to raw and organic foods and love it. I haven't seen my rheumatologist as yet, but I expect to serve him a little crow when I do next month!

Thanks for all the articles and testimonies you've sent.

Note: Her Rheumatologist actually told her that diet and nutrition would have no effect on her Rheumatoid Arthritis!

Hello Adrian,

Wanted to share with you the great day I had.

I show dogs and was at a show today. I had not been out to a show since December so had not seen a lot of my "dog show friends" in months. I had several of them make comments about how much better I looked, the energy I had and the over all calmness, brightness and peace they saw and felt around me. I told them about getting off the medication (so I wasn't drugged into a calm mood) and about the Whole Food Farmacy products. I even got some of them to at least think about what I was telling them and some are actually interested in this "new" way of eating. I am very excited! I do feel so much better and look forward to a healthier new me!

Thanks for your last email with more information. I received the DVD, but I haven't been able to watch it yet. Thank you for your support. I'm sure it will help.

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the note. I am a chiropractor and a strong proponent of whole/raw food nutrition. I lecture extensively in my area on the topic.

I stumbled across your site while doing a web search and was thrilled to find a site I can send my patients to. I like what I saw and have ordered some products to try. I'll be including this site as a resource for my patients and my audiences.

I look forward to working with you. I share your passion and sense of purpose on this topic.

In Health,
Dr. Hilgardner

"I am writing to share my experience on the Tri-Decathlon Deluxe program. Well, I must say that I am very pleased and impressed with it so far. All my life, I've had a difficult time losing weight. It comes off very slowly, usually no more than 2 pounds maximum the first week (if I'm lucky), and then maybe a half pound per week after that. And I'm usually grumpy and miserable the whole time I'm dieting. However, after having been on the Tri-Decathlon for only a week and a half, I've lost 6 pounds, which is the most I've ever lost in that short period of time. Not only am I encouraged, but I feel better than I have in years. I have more energy, I'm sleeping better at night, my brain seems a lot clearer, my attitude is more positive, and I have no aches and pains. I'm a much happier person.

Prior to the Tri-Decathlon, I had a severe probelm with aching joints. I tried everything on the market to get rid of my ahces and pains, but there was only one product that helped yet it did not take the pain away completely. I stopped taking my joint formula when I started the program, just to see how much of a difference detoxifying would make, and to my surprise, the aches and pains are gone. I can't believe how great I feel. When I finish the Tri-Decathlon this weekend, I'm going to switch to the Liquithon. Oh yes, the food is VERY TASTY, especially the TropiPhi."

"...My Cholesterol numbers were checked (6 week checkup). They dropped from 276 to 122. My doctor was amazed! I am on the medicine, but they only predict a 30% drop at best over 90 days. I can only guess that the changes I made after our first conversation, watching the video and visiting the website had a lot to do with the better than 50% drop in only 6 weeks. There is discussion of reducing the dosage of medicine and possibly going off it, if I continue to make progress. I will!"
