“What a difference you have made in my life!”

Emily was having a tough time dealing with her anxiety and depression, and was on the verge of getting a prescription when she discovered the Personal Program. Now people who see her can’t believe the difference: she’s lost weight, is sleeping regularly and finding joy in her life again. She wrote to tell us about it.

“What a difference you have made in my life! I was having a tough time walking by windows on high floors. I knew I needed to deal with my depression and weight gain, but did not know where to begin.

“I was on the verge of using antidepressants when I answered your questionnaire and got my vitamins in the mail. I had little hope that they would help, but figured it was my last chance before resorting to medication.

“I have tried taking vitamins before. I once went to a ‘wellness center.’ They prescribed so many vitamins that taking them became a full-time job. I had so many bottles of vitamins that by the time I was halfway into laying them out, I had forgotten which bottles I used and which I didn’t. Plus they gave me a stomachache.

“I have lots of vitamin stories. Never had a vitamin done me much good, and all of them caused stomach problems. Not so with yours. First, they are easy to take. I take one packet before I leave for work, and put the second in my purse because I usually eat dinner at work.

“It took only a few days for me to start feeling better. I was no longer depressed, my appetite for carbs diminished, and I started sleeping at night. I started to lose weight immediately. In two to three months I have lost over 20 pounds, and I am not even trying. And I have done nothing different except take my vitamins.

“People who see me can’t believe it. I own a popular restaurant in a small town, so I am a big fish in a very small pond, and people notice whatever I do. I had never put on weight until I was about 54 years old; prior to that I weighed a steady 120. The feedback on my weight loss has been amazing. I told no one, but everyone notices, and when they do I direct them to your website.

“I have a sad life story, with an abusive mother and first husband, a bad divorce, two children who do not speak to me, and two beautiful grandchildren I am not allowed to see... all good reasons to be depressed. But not any more. Emotionally I feel good — not euphoric, just ‘life-is-okay-again’ happy.

“Your vitamins have worked for me. I don’t generally believe in miracles, as a cynical, sophisticated 60-year-old. But you have done it for me. Thank you.”
