'I started my
Tri-Decathlon after witnessing its impact on a colleague at
work who I had daily contact with during his 13 day event.
I am a 51 year old male who is relatively active. I play
golf and coach one of my son’s basketball teams. I have
always been a competitive person and played various sports
throughout my years. Now at 51, I have experienced joint
pain since my early twenties as a result of wear & tear on
my knees from football and basketball. I also used to drink
5 to 6 Diet Mountain Dews every day. I only mention these
things to give you some idea of where I was before starting
the program. I am 62" tall and weighed 238 lbs. prior to
starting the Tri-Decathlon. I had never cleansed my body
and many can attest to my love to eat all types of food and
large quantities as well. My only intent when starting the
plan was to cleanse, or detox, my system, but what happened
along with the way is totally amazing. I have totally
transformed my whole outlook on my life and my eating and
drinking habits in regard to living a healthy and satisfying
life.
I began to notice a rapid change in my body as well as my
mental and physical health. I used to swallow 4 pain pills
a day for my joint pain. The pain virtually vanished during
my Tri-Decathlon and I have now stopped taking any pain
medication! I no longer drink the costly and caffeine laden
Mountain Dews. I went from 238 lbs to 217 lbs using the
Tri-Decathlon and whole food concepts, and I have been able
to maintain this weight rather easily. Now my 30 minute
daily walks have turned into 40 minutes and I’ve gone from
2.5 miles to 3.5 miles in only 10 more minutes a day. I
walk rain or shine with my little 6lb. dog, Tibet. People
in my community often stop and ask how I’ve been able to
make such a sudden change in lifestyle.
But the one thing that had the greatest impact on me being
able to make this change to eating better - with quality
rather than quantity being my focus - was that one evening
after work when my 13yr old son made the comment “Dad, since
you have been on this program, you aren’t as grumpy as you
normally are". This hit me right in my heart and made me
realize the eating habits that I changed were having a
dramatic, positive impact on my life and my loved ones.
I could go on and on about better sleep, less colds and
illness, etc. I truly believe that by going thru the 13-Day
Tri-Decathlon I have enriched my total life from the inside
out."

“ Life is full of
surprises! I began the 13 day Tri-Decathlon only as a
means of losing a few pounds. I told myself I'd be more
than satisfied if I lost 8 pounds. I wasn't concerned too
much about the "other health benefits" that my friend told
me I'd experience. I felt that I was already eating
properly (more or less), and I was as healthy as I'd
probably ever be.
As I read the instructions that came with the Tri-Decathlon,
I was a little taken aback when I realized that for the next
13 days I would not be eating any dairy foods, cooked
veggies and fruits, meats, chicken or fish, sweets or
deserts. Oh well. It would only be for 13 days.. and I
could supplement with fresh salads and fruits, so how bad
could it be?
Let me back up a little.... I was 75 years old in
November. Along with age came the all the aches and pains
that those of us lucky enough to have lived into old age
fully expected because we have been told that all those
aches and pains were perfectly NORMAL as we aged. Therefore
I had accepted that the chronic pain in my left hip
(diagnosed years ago by a "specialist" as bursitis) was how
things were going to be for me.. live with pain, grin and
bear it. After all, I'm OLD! What else could I expect?
What I didn't expect was that into my 4th day of the
Tri-Decathlon the pain in my left hip that I had lived with
for years would suddenly and inexplicitly vanish completely!
Not a twinge! Over the years the pain had occasionally
become so severe I had to have steroid shots and I even was
prescribed Bextra on occasion. I almost routinely took
Aleve on days when the aches became almost intolerable. As
for walking. well, walking with a limp had become my normal
gait.
The benefits continued. I have had problems with my
digestive system for many years. The sudden improvement
there was remarkable also. I was sleeping better. I felt
more energized than I had in years. Only someone in my age
category who has had to come to terms with feeling tired day
after day would appreciate how great it was to suddenly feel
the years fall away!
By the time I was coming down the home stretch, I knew that
this was not a fluke, coincidence or a temporary reprieve
from the problems of aging. I wasn't limping, even when
walking distances. I was continuing to feel great day after
day..! Wow!
The biggest change in my life has been that I now know can't
afford to risk going back to my "other life" - My doctor had
told me for years that I was lactose intolerant. Did I stop
eating dairy? Of course not. When beginning the WFF
program I did so because I had to in order to do it
correctly. It taught me a valuable lesson. My body will
rebel when I continue to force
foods it neither can tolerate nor wants.
Using the Whole Food Farmacy as the basis for making changes
in my diet my health has improved to a degree I didn't ever
think possible considering my age. Three months later my
hip is still pain-free. This after about 10 years of living
with chronic pain! Again, WOW!”

“During the first
six months of 2005, I was under a spell of depression to the
point of suicide. I was chronically fatigued, sleeping 12 to
16 hours a day, drinking heavily, eating unhealthy foods,
and smoking tobacco. After months of this self destructive
cycle, I awoke one morning and decided that I was either
going to severely hurt myself or make a decision to live. I
chose the latter. One week later, while having dinner with a
friend, he passed the “Stardust Sea Salt” and curiosity led
to a discussion about The Wholefood Farmacy products. Soon
after, I ordered a Tri-Decathlon. It was great. A month
later and I was feeling better than I have ever felt in my
life! I have so much energy, my mind is clear, and my skin
glows! I had tried so many diets, fasts, and spiritual
retreats before in the past and nothing really worked. The
WFF Tri-Decathlon worked for me. I am also using more of the
other products. Thank you Wholefood Farmacy for helping me
to reclaim my life!”

“It is going very
well! You probably heard that my big surprise and
excitement was that Tara decided to do the Tri-D with me.
Having her join me in living within good nutritional
practice is a major victory. I lost 10-12 pounds, hovering
now between 178 and 180, so there is still more to do. Tara
lost about 9 pounds. Monday was our last day. I thought we
would seriously binge when it was over. To my surprise,
even faced with some of the foods I thought I would want at
the end of 13 days, I have mostly been attracted to the
healthier more whole choices. I also don't require as much
food. Wow! The first day off, I had Phi + for breakfast, a
salad for lunch, and a light sandwich for supper. Oh, by
the way, we didn't eat all the food provided in the tri-d.
Food was left over. Amazing!
The thing I most dreaded about this was drinking the
"doctored" water. I just knew I would not like it. To my
surprise, this was an exciting discovery. I did not need to
add any fruit juice. I drank it straight. Regular, even
bottled, water doesn't taste good now. I also noticed your
body actually absorbs this and you don't pee it all out.
It's like Gatorade without all of the sugar and junk. Wow!
I just bought a
new pair of jeans. My old ones are even bigger than they
were before. I am now 15 pounds away from my weight when
Tara and I married. I'm pretty excited! That will put me
at the top of the weight range (AMA) for my height. After
that, I shoot for the bottom of the range 145. I'm planning
on reaching 165 by January. Thanks for letting me know about
this. It has truly made doing the right thing a reality!”

“Yes, I’m very
happy to share, since I’m feeling better than I have in
years, and so quickly I have been transformed by these
fantastically flavorful foods.
I just turned 50, and had been experiencing many of the
physical and mental symptoms associated with mid-life
crisis, along with the advent of peri-menopausal symptoms.
For the last 18 years I’ve enjoyed a satisfying career in
the healing arts, but, best know for my marathon style, deep
tissue body work. Wonderful stuff, but, it was getting
harder to keep up. I was beginning to realize that, I’d
soon need to consider developing alternate career strategies
that would potentially allow healing for my physical
distress of the last 5 years. I was emotionally struggling
with the many decisions and dilemmas becoming apparent. Not
only was my blossoming weight becoming an issue for work,
sense of self-esteem, but also, I was becoming plagued with
the severe pain of tendonitis, arthritis, also, a developing
sleep disorder, IBS, Candida, eczema, food allergies, adult
ADHD focus issues, depression, anxiety attacks, floundering
libido, even the possibility that the fatigue could be
related to Fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue ensuing. What a
mess.
Needless to say, as tough as I am known to be, my response
to clients of, “I’m ok” approach, was making me feel pretty
quietly desperate. With all of these unpleasant things
cropping up you would think that I lacked awareness on self
care, this was not the case. I have always been a promoter
of healthy eating, exercise, clean country living, etc.
But, here I was falling apart at the seams, and wondering
why. Well, I tried every health fad, and every classical
health promoting modality imaginable, diligently trying to
keep the peace within my aging, crumbling self. But, it
wasn’t relief enough, something was lacking.
Out of the blue, I rediscovered a flyer about The Wholefood
Farmacy’s Phi Plus. Unfortunately, the flyer got filed
(which means misplaced, almost permanently, in my office).
So imagine my delight, to find this reminder a couple of
months ago while editing thru the archives. It was like a
light going on. I spent hours pouring through the volumes
of pertinent info on The Wholefood Farmacy website, just
hungry (pardon the pun) for the positive messages there for
me. I was hooked as I read the home page mission statement,
so by the time I got into the philosophy, simple business
concept, I was biting at the bit to sign up....I just knew
this was for me somehow! It all made complete sense.
I went for the gusto with the Tri-decathlon Deluxe, several
of the samplers, and of course, I had to try that long life
mushroom infused coffee. Gee wiz, what could be better than
that, than to allow a healthier option for my favorite
addiction, and feel ok about it?
I am happy to report I had epiphany after epiphany, and an
overall healing like never before. And, how simple, and
pleasurable the experience had revealed within days, such
relief from pain, and other disagreeable maladies on all
levels. Imagine my surprise and overwhelming sense of joy,
at the rejuvenation not just of my body, but, my spirit and
mind as well, all of me was suddenly undergoing renewal and
refreshment. The refreshed ability to intently focus while
calmly multi-tasking again, or vividly retaining dreams from
an excellent nights sleep, without waking to intestinal
distress, or a sense of dread to start the day, joints that
move freely without pain, fluidity and grace returning.
Wow! A miracle, it seems. I have lost 15 pounds and feel
great. Now that I know how easy that is, with these tasty
foods, I intend to lose at least 15 pounds more. I can
actually go do my workout now, and hike without pain.
What’s more, passion on all levels is back with enthusiasm.
It has been a total pleasure sharing all of this with
friends, and how great that they are interested in knowing
more, and signing up. It’s only been 2 months and I have
several wonderful people in my down-line, and bonus checks
to deposit. It’s a pretty amazing opportunity it turns out
as well. Imagine my glee and satisfaction of remedying my
health, wealth, and overall well being, all at once. Thank
you Wholefood Farmacy!”

“Before being
introduced to Wholefood Farmacy, I was always
feeling tired, ill and un-motivated about many things. I
was primarily a meat and bread and desert monster kind of
person. After only 13 days on the Tri-Decathlon Wellness
Program, my mind became sharp and clear and my energy level
went through the roof! My skin feels soft and radiant! I
feel like a completely new person! It feels like
a Spiritual Awakening! In all my life, this is the best
that I've ever felt!"

"For most of my
adult life I have been battling Hypoglycemia. I usually get
extremely tired and un-motivated for a few hours after a big
lunch. In order for me to function again, I usually cap off
my meal with a piece of chocolate. This gives me a
temporary fix to get my blood sugar up again. Once I became
exposed to Wholefood Farmacy, I began replacing my chocolate
fix with Phi Plus. To my amazement, Phi Plus completely
satisfied my sweet tooth cravings for chocolate and
deserts! It is believed that if you give your body what it
needs nutritionally, you will not hunger for processed junk
food and sweets. As God is my witness, I'm here to tell you
that the Wholefood Farmacy product line is the REAL DEAL!
It completely satisfies your body, mind and spirit. After
all, God has commanded us to keep the Body Temple Clean."
