Bill Porter Testimonial
Dear Robin Sharan,
Ever since I completed the liver-gall bladder cleanse at the
Annapurna Inn, I’ve been waiting to hear back from my allopathic
primary care provider on how this process had affected his view of
my health. I finally received his results today. For months he had
been trying to convince me to take medications to lower these number.
I resisted, hoping to find an alternative. I’m glad I waited.Before the cleanse, my blood pressure was 145/96 and my LDL cholesterol was 168.
As a result of the colonics and liver-gall bladder cleanse, my blood pressure is now 120/83 and my LDL cholesterol is 130. My primary care physician
still doesn’t understand how this was possible, especially in such a short time, but the numbers don’t like. All he could do was scratch his head.- Bill Porter / Red Pine
Lucretia, 91 years old, testimonial
My name is Lucretia. I am 91 years old.
For the last five years I have not felt well. After a very bad fall, I had no energy. My balance was off to a point that I staggered when I walked. I had pains on the right side of my stomach and soon I developed a terrible itching all over my body. I went to my doctor about all of these problems, but they had no answer or help. My granddaughter was doing a program with Robin and mentioned my problems. She brought Robin to my house and Robin encouraged me to participate in her program. I started the very next day. I did not stay at the Center as I live just down the street. My first colonic was unbelievable, even with the Epson salt cleansing from the night before. I continued on for the rest of the program. They supply great foods and wonderful Kangen water. It was hard for me to drink the gallon of water, but you do it because you know it is important.
After several days I was starting to feel better. The itching was less and the pain on my side which is my liver didn’t hurt as much. I was preparing for the gallbladder cleanse. I am starting to feel so relaxed and at peace. The Annapurna Center certainly provides all that and more.
Time for the gallbladder cleanse – I spent the night at The Annapurna to prepare for it. We had the olive oil juice and Epsom salts and the castor oil packs and went to bed. We were up early as we had to drink a gallon of water. We then had a colonic and the passing of stones, mucous and more. The cleansing was unbeliveable. As of now, I have no more itching and the pain on my side is gone. Has this program exceeded my expectations? Yes and more. It is so beneficial and health giving.
What is so wonderful at Annapurna are the people there, so loving and caring. I certainly recommend this program to all.
