THIS YEAR DO YOUWant To Reverse Disease? Want To Lose Weight?Feel Concerned You’re Locked Into Your Genes? IF YOU THINK IT’S TOO LATE TO CHANGE,
READ THE COMMENTS FROM MY PROUD PATIENTS BELOW:
You Can Change, At Any Age!
“My pain has subsided consider-ably. But, I must tell you that I don’t think I would have made it this far without your help. I was a mess when I � rst saw you, but you gave me a new sense of strength, new knowledge about nutrition and just a better regard for myself.” ~ Nurse Practitioner/IBS and ulcerative colitis su� erer, age 62
“I feel awesome a� er eating the diet, especially in the morning. I can’t believe how much has improved with such small changes. My cholesterol is normal, and my triglycerides dropped dramatically - almost 200 points! My blood pressure medication was stopped, yet my blood pressure is the best it has ever been.” ~ E.M., age 44
“My cardiologist was so impressed with my results. By following Dr. Dunaief ’s advice, I’ve been able to stop all three of my blood pressure medications. My heart palpitations, which were limiting my activities, have dramatically reduced in frequency, my energy levels have increased and I have lost 15 pounds in two months.”
~ Nurse, age 62
“…just wanted to share the…great news – I passed my � tness test and achieved my highest score ever! � ank you for all your support and help. You know how important this was for me. I’m so pleased with the results.” ~ Military Surgeon, age 43
David M. Dunaief, M.D.Clinician, Author
and Speaker
� e results I have achieved working with Dr. Dunaief have been quite remarkable. My primary goal was to reduce average blood pressure to acceptable levels. � is was accomplished in a little over 3 months. Coincidentally I was able to reduce my overall cholesterol from 250 to 177 with a much improved LDL/HDL ratio in 4 months. In addition I lost over 30 lbs and went from 24% body fat to 17.7%. I have some good days but mostly great days and I’m very happy with the results and look forward to even more improvement in the future.—D.L., age 64
