"The Green Juice Fast was an awesome experience for me.  I had inflammation in my hip. . . . by day 3 I had NO PAIN.  It was all gone.  I could not believe it.  There were no longer any signs of bronchitis and the throat drainage that I was experiencing by day 3. I did experience lots of energy . . .  Also, let me mention I lost 10 lbs and lots of people commented on my skin; asking if I had just had a "face lift".  I also never felt hungry while only drinking juice.  I felt very good, clean in my entire body and experienced good thoughts as well.  Overall, it was an amazing experience for me and I am recommending this cleanse with you (Siegren) to everybody."  Heidi, Arizona

Thanks so much and keep up the good work."  Carla M., Tucson

Not only did you totally convert me into a coconut lover, but my super picky daughter grudgingly tried some fresh coconut meat for the first time and loved it, then proceeded to run around the house singing about how she loves super healthy coconuts!!  Thanks again for that awesome class.  Sincerely, former coconut hater turned lover :)"  Perri M. , Arizona
