testimonials from our detox program

 

 


Dear Miles:
Please excuse the delay in getting this letter to you. My purpose in waiting was to see how the cleanse
affected my life after the immediate results wore off. It is now two days shy of three months since I
started your cleanse, and the thing is...the immediate results are still very much present.


As you know, I went into the program with the intent of turning my life around. I am 62 years old, and
before the cleanse I was literally killing myself. I ate lots of fats, sugar, caffeine, red meat, cheese, etc.;
and very few fruits, vegetables and fish. I also didn't exercise. I was about 20 lbs overweight, but it was
all in my stomach, which is the worst place with regards to heart problems. I started exercising when I
started the cleanse; slowly at first, and building steadily, both in strength and endurance. The food
program you put us on helped get rid of many of the toxins in my body, while allowing my taste buds to
appreciate healthier food groups. This, in itself, was a life altering experience.


In the middle of the three weeks, you had us come in three consecutive days for 2 1/2 hours of
acupuncture, Tui-na (scrubbing and cupping,) sauna and meditation. After the first session, I couldn't
wait to come back for the next two. They were relaxing and refreshing at the same time.


As of today, I have lost and kept off the 20 lbs and gained physical and mental strength. But the most
impressive and unexpected result for me was an emotional calmness which appeared naturally, without
effort, and has continued to manifest itself in both my professional and private life. It is as if a weight has
been lifted from my shoulders.


I don't know if I am the exception or the rule; but either way your detox has drastically changed my life
for the better. I would recommend your program to anyone who is looking for a new start, or a fine tune
up. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.


Sincerely,
Bob Gregory

“I want to thank all the members of Tilo Medical that created a very pleasant and professional setting for the detox program. Unlike detox retreats where one is pulled out of the daily environment for a few weeks, this detox program was designed to allow for the integration of healthy new habits in day to day life. I was empowered by being an active participant in the success of the program, my detox program. In a way I was 'taught how to fish, not just given the fish...' Now that the detox is over I truly don't feel any urge to go back to 'my old ways' I am happy to continue taking care of my body without feeling deprived. While on the detox, one is advised to 'reduce or eliminate' certain foods and successes
are not measured in absolutes but in relative terms that take in consideration real life situations. On top of that, interactions between participants are encouraged and one feels the support of the group. Another aspect that seems unique to the detox program offered by Tilo Medical is the multifaceted approach of: West meets East, the best of Modern medicine and Biochemistry and the ancient ways of China; reflecting, obviously, the spirit with which Tilo Medical was created. Thanks for the continuous support, during and after the detox,”

“Participating in the detox program at Tilo was one of the better decisions I have taken in recent times. Although the program at first appeared to be overwhelming and complicated, Dr. Reid and the staff at Tilo were very helpful, and always available for support throughout the program. The program involved a combination of detox shakes, herbs, sauna, acupuncture and massages, which all combined to form a complete and well rounded experience. By the end of the program, I had completely changed the way I eat, how I feel and had lost some extra weight too. The most rewarding aspect overall was that I developed a new confidence that I can now be aware and fully in control of how I eat, based on the newly acquired knowledge and experience of completing the program. I would recommend this program to all who want to improve their well being.”

“I got a lot out of the 21 day detox program. Some of my aches and pains went away or were greatly diminished. My mind also appears to be clearer, and I can concentrate more easily. There is a marked improvement in my overall energy level as well. I highly recommend this program to everyone even if they don’t think they have a need for a detoxification of the body. That’s what I thought and I was mistaken.

- Ken Hirshberg, Student

 

“I do recommend the 21 day detox program at Tilo Medical. Coming from a background of allergic sensitivities, I already have a clean and healthy diet, and this program gave me tools to do even better. I have gained an improved digestion and immune response both during after the detox. It was an enjoyable experience, and I now see the necessity to perform a detox or cleanse periodically. It feels like an oil change.”

- Frederick Guerin, Aviation engineer

 

“I wanted to share my experience with our detox program and thank you for your visible and invisible support. The program is working amazingly for me and it is truly transforming the way I relate to nutrition. Very surprisingly, I had almost no craving for cookies and fries; or craving for a lot of food in general; feel very energetic, don't need to sleep as much and have lost weight! Also, thank you for the amazing three day retreat-pampering-soothing-yummy spa treatments.

“I would highly recommend this detox program Dr. Miles Reid is offering. I feel that this is the best thing I've done for my health in a long time. I gained more awareness about what I consume, and I think that if I can keep this cleaner physical state, for sure I'll live longer and feel better. I thought I had a really healthy diet before, but this really helped in a number of ways. Probably the most important was that I became more aware of how gluten affected me. On a no gluten diet, my vision and perception became much clearer. I was never hungry and ate nearly as much as
normal, but with more awareness. I also noticed that I wasn't reaching for the salt shaker as often as usual! I felt like my pipes were being unclogged, and my system becoming much cleaner. I also noticed that my usual muscular/joint inflammation was better. I used to take aspirin nearly daily when I'm working, and during the detox time it was very rare.
I found that going through this with a group also helped a lot. On my own, I might not have had as much discipline, but with a group it definitely seemed more effortless. And the detox treatments were also very luxurious-- I felt very pampered, like I was getting some spa treatments. Most of the time, I felt more peaceful and quiet within.
I found Dr. Miles and his staff to be very helpful, supportive, and knowledgeable, and I think everyone should do this detox, mostly to become more aware of what you're feeding yourself, how it is affecting you, and learn to make better choices. It will most likely add some quality years to your life!”

“Thanks again for the wonderful Detox experience. I have never participated in a "cleanse" of this sort so I came in with little or no expectations. During the 21 days, I was able to regain control over certain eating habits that were detrimental to my health. Besides losing some weight, I would say the biggest change was a feeling of clarity and control over my food choices. I still like to eat a wide variety of different foods; however it is now with more attention and less indulging. The combination of massage, sauna and acupuncture seemed to have a very calming effect on my nervous system and I found myself less irritable and more likely to handle difficult situations with ease. Thanks again and I look forward to follow up treatments in the future.”

I had a great opportunity to go through the detox program at Tilo for two times with 6 months apart. My first experience was so enjoyable that I decided to do it again. The most important part for me was the feeling of deep care that all members of detox team provided. I felt like a child in a safe mother's hands where I can relax and let things go, purify myself, rest and get new strength into my body. I was a little bit light headed at the beginning of the diet, but not so much, and it told me that I really do not have so much chemical poisons in my body. I was able to completely change my diet and keep it that way for several months. I found that my major toxins are negative emotions: anger, frustration, fear, worry. I felt a release of this emotions during acupuncture treatments and special breathing exercises we had were a great help to me. Extra energy I got from detox went to alter my perception and I had several deep moments of seeing things differently.
The second detox was even more delicate for me, more easy and even more enjoyable. The most enjoyable thing was an amazing feeling of group support and seeing all other participants shiny, happy, and light. It filled my heart with great appreciation. This time "emotional detoxification" was more clear for me and I am able to keep it as a great tool for my everyday life. The extra energy from detox helped me to go through stressful events in my life and act differently, actually, I made changes in a big part of my life during this detox program. Thank you very much to the detox team for all their care, affection, commitment and all other participants that supported me, strengthen my determination and made it easy and enjoyable.

I highly reccomend the Tilo Medical detox program. It was a wonderful, transforming experience. Dr. Reid and the rest of the staff were exceptional and went out of their way to make sure everybody got the most out of the program. I really enjoyed Dr. Reid's multi-faceted, integrated approach, which included different forms of acupuncture; nutritional supplements and counseling; breathing exercises; medicinal herbs; and ongoing support in the form of group meetings and internet forums. Dr. Reid's integrative approach was so effective that it inspired me to now approach my own health and well-being in a more integrated way. For example, the detox program not only addressed the foods, beverages, and chemicals that we take into our bodies, it also addressed negative emotions that have an impact on our bodies and minds. Most importantly, Dr. Reid gave us tools to help us release such toxic emotions once they emerge in our bodies and minds. As a result, I'm more aware of how interactions and the emotions they evoke affect my health, so now I approach such interactions with more caution and awareness. The accupuncture, tuina, and other treatments were awesome. At first I was a little skeptical because I had never had accupuncture before. However, after my first day of treatment I felt great, and after my second day of treatment I felt a tremendous surge of energy and well-being. The detox program helped me become more aware of how food and beverages affect my body, moods, and energy. It also helped give me the
discipline to eat less. As a result, I lost weight and feel better. I realize that maintaining my health and well-being is a life-long affair, and I'm grateful to Dr. Reid and the rest of the Tilo staff for giving me tools that I can use for the rest of my life to maintain such health and well-being. Thank you Dr. Reid and Tilo Medical!
