The skinny on weight loss

As I mentioned in last week's article I received a letter and lab slip from a doctor in Orofino who recommended his patient go on the Ideal Protein diet/treatment because his cholesterol level was 4,100. Yes, you read that correctly, 4,091 to be exact. His name is Jim and he wrote: "The reason I started using the Ideal Protein Program was because my total cholesterol was at 4,100.

My palms were covered with Xanthomas (tumors). My feet had pea sized hard lumps on my heels, making it painful to stand. I had to work with gloves on my hands. Also, on both of my index fingers, I had large hard lumps that were so painful that if I bumped them, even lightly, the pain was such that I thought I would pass out.

I have seen several doctors including two dermatologists. I also had three different biopsies. I feel like the medical community failed me. None of them had any ideas what to do. At least one of them tried steroid injections in the Xanthomas. The steroids did not help.

In the past I had severe sensitivity to sunlight and heat. I could not tolerate being in the sun for any period of time. Now, the sun does not bother me at all. I can tolerate heat much better.

Dr. Harper felt the Ideal Protein Program would get my cholesterol level down. He had no idea about the Xanthomas. Four weeks into the program, I have noticed some weight loss, a major increase in energy, my Xanthomas were gone and completely pain free. After only four weeks on Ideal Protein, I had a lipid panel done and my cholesterol went from 4,100 to 230.

Dr. Harper and his staff were great! Ideal Protein worked way, way better than I would have ever thought. Thank you so much. I have one question: Can I buy stock in this company?"

Jim may not be able to financially invest in the company, but he made a better investment. He invested four weeks in his own health and what a payoff. Folks, this isn't just weight loss. This program can be a major shift in your health and your body's ability to heal itself.
