I'm curious about how people order

[Jos-hua Medicine man]

Hello friends,

Now that this group is up and running, the website redesigned (still some work to do but 80% done) I will devote the next two weeks to redoing the autoresponders (all the old links to the old support group address need to be redone), the eguide and a few other things.

Before jumping into it all again (I redid it all in November when I cam back from Nepal since MSN changed the link from communities to group) and devote energy and precious resource, I am curious how and why you all ordered your HPS cleanse.

Did anyone order because of the easydetox@getresponse email series? There are about 25 messages in that series leading up to a cleanse order...

Did anyone order because of reading the eguide.

Or did you just go to the website, read the website, think about it a bit, follow the group, and then decide to order.

So, lets use some of the new features here in VB... i'll set a poll and everyone can just vote.

Thanks for letting me know... it will help me in deciding what to do next with my time and energy re marketing.

peace.

Hi Jos-hua,

I was told about hps and cleansing by Pat and then did the reading and research before ordering.

It was a combination of things: I ordered 4 months after hearing about the program from a friend, visiting the website, reading the information and viewing the messages on the boards.

[Tisha_P]

Hi Jos-hua,

When I was first learning about alternative ways of healing and was led to this site, I still needed to read and learn for myself if this was something I felt was right for me.

I visited off and on for about two months. I read what people were saying and your answers to them. I really liked the fact that you had done this yourself and that you had experience. I liked that you took a personal interest in everyone. That is what helped me to decide to join this group.

Love,
Tisha

[Sumina_B]

Well, Saurabh likes to be extremely thorough when it comes to making a decison about things. Anything from buying a camera to signing up for something like HPS... so we did a lot of research before we actually paid the money and got started.

We probably read and browsed the site for about 2 weeks before we signed up.

Much Love,
Sumina

[Tina_A]

It was definitely just the website and the excerpts from the testimonials that encouraged me to sign up. I found the website, looked through it, printed info off for my boyfriend to peruse, and then I ordered that same night.

[Marilyn_W]

Jos-hua:
For years I suffered from colon problems - dating back to my childhood days. A trip to the bathroom was the most excruiating experience of my life - as a result I experienced all sorts of problems. As I got older and did much research on health issues and correcting the problem through natural means as opposed to medical - I knew the answer was out there somewhere. I always thought the colon was the answer.

Since getting my computer and being able to surf around looking for answers I did extensive research on colon cleansings. I have always wanted to do this but the procedure just didn't set right with me. I didn't like the idea of someone else sticking something up my behind and trusting them to put the proper amount of fluid in me. Plus the fact that there was no follow-up on the person once the procedure was done.


Happening upon the hps site really got my attention in that I liked the idea of only taking on 7 people per week and following each case personally. This was what I was looking for. I felt that I would have individual attention during the whole process as well as follow-up and education in eating habits. After reading that, I did not hesitate and signed up immediately. Going back to old ways after a cleanse accomplishes nothing.

I have a long way to go, but I am doing better and will continue to get better. I do not know what good health is as I do not think I have ever experienced it, but I do know that I feel so much better now than I did 1 year ago.

I really look forward to the cleanses and am almost sad when the 7 days are up.

Looking forward to my level 3 - each one is a new experience.

[Jaya_D]

Jos-hua;

I had been looking at the site for about a year and a half. I had done a number of cleanses over the years, but this one caught my eye as something different so I kept tracking it knowing another cleanse was on the horizon. I also observed a friend who was in the process and witnessed the transformation he has undergone.

I was drawn to the idea of sequential cleanses going into more depth with each successive one. It seemed to make sense to peel off the layers with a systematic approach.

I believe in the body's innate ability to heal itself and I see cleansing as a vital step toward relieving the stress of everyday existence. Cleansing also has the ability to reset my internal communication around life habits. This is needed in my case, since I have ignored my teachings for a while.

A clean body is less confused for me. The less held in the cellular memory the better. I know when I have been toxic and how out of it I am, so I assume that is happening all the time in varying degrees with a struggling GI tract.

So, glad to here. Thanks for the offering.

I was interested in doing a fast. But,
I didn't just want to go in blind. I did a search using a search engine and came upon the HPS site and spent a number of weeks reveiwing the support group info. I also read through the e-guide and once I felt confident thats when I decided to go for it.

[Susan_L]

Jos-hua,

I was researching cleansing/fasting and found the web site. I spent several weeks reading every possible page on the web site.

The information was so thorough, straight forward and most of all without hype I decided it was for me although the concepts were completely and totally foreign to me. I could feel the sincerity and desire to help rather than make sweeping promises and make money.

[Mark_K]

After dealing with constipation off and on for several years and unable to gain weight, I knew I needed to do something. After going to google this is the first and only site I looked at.
It took about 2 weeks to decide and sign up, I'm exited to start!

[Masashi_Y]

Hi Jos-hua,

I have been looking for a program to improve my health. When I found the web site, I was surprised but immediately undetstood the importance of the material. I was impressed by the information provided in the web site, along with the pictures. It did not take me much time to order.

Thanks,
Masashi

[Andrew_H]

I did a google search for "nail ridges" and found your site.

Your site also covered "baggy eyes" and "tongues" which were also areas indicating problems with my health.

It appeared to have good quality health information and was well presented.

I was particularlly impressed with the section on food combining.

I had previously thought about doing a cleanse but never got round to it.

What you offered sounded very professional and exactly what I needed.

I didnt purchase imediatley as I was concerned about commiting so much money over the internet to what I thought might be some "scam" (ie you take the money and disappear)

I came back a couple of days later and decided to take the risk.

Im glad to say theres no scam, just a genuine service.

Thanks

[Paul_G]

I came upon the site after doing some searches for colon problems since I was having chronic problems that were significantly impairing my ability to enjoy life. I read most of the site and after a few weeks signed up for the autoresponder series and the ebook.

I would have to say it was all those things that pursuaded me to do this. It was not something I entered into lightly and I was skeptical at first. I will let you know how it all turns out when I'm done!
Thanks

[Richard_D]

I came to the site strictly by referral. When I was actively searching for fasting information, I stuck to those sites providing articles and essays, documents, etc., and deliberately avoided any places marketing a product or service.

Had it not been for a direct referral, I doubt I would have ever discovered the site. I'm generally skeptical about info offered in connection to products or other commodities, especially in alternative medicine.

Lucky I found the site, b/c otherwise I would have continued experimenting on my own, and at the time I was looking very closely at "conquest" fasting (hoo-boy), so it's quite a bit of providence that I didn't end up doing that.

Rick

[Shub_C]

I did the research for a week about bowel related problems and then decided about cleansing without hesitation.

I also read about colon cleansing from different sources and thought it to be the way to go.

Shub_C

[Terry_S]

I read the website, read the website again. Came up with questions and used the support group to answer it. Then I percolated everything for a week and then ordered.

The website really whetted my appetite for a fast and cleanse program! :p I have done some cleansing work with enemas, so I was excited as soon as I saw the site.

The support group is definitely a big plus. I would go so far as to say that it is essential--I wouldn't have spent all the money and time all on my own with just the website influence.

Terry. :)

[Lardin_B]

Hello,
I just stumbbled on this and I was looking to find somewhere to tell why I chose this cleanse over the rest.
One day I went into the google and types colon cleansing and HPS was the first one that popped out. I read a bit and liked what I read ESPECIALLY that there was no mention of this celebrity did this and that well known person tried it. It was all about cleansing and cleansing alone without using well known figures to sell the products. I usually listen to my intuition and it was very strong in me to chose this program and till now I am pretty happy with my choice.

I was looking into a colonic board, found lot's of different packages, styles etc, etc but did not find any "good" solid information on why you should do a colonic (other then it's good for the health of your colon).
Your HPS site is much more thorough about colonics, health and the overall well-being of an individual that I knew I found the right place! It was a lit light bulb moment for me to go ahead and do it.

[Tyrone_S.]

Like most people here, i've had chronic colon/stomach problems for a number of years as well as rapidly deteriorating health. Having grown up in Jamaica for most of my years, i had a strong belief in the cleansing process and the 'natural way' of healing.

In Jamaica we use all kinds of herbs to cleanse our bodies and cure sickness. I was hardly ever ill living on my quiet beautiful litlle island. 3 or 4 years after coming to live here, however, my health rapidly declined. At the age of only 21 I had chronic constipation and constant stomack problems as well as parasite overload. My health was degrading rapidly. That's where my search for a cure lead me to HPS. I had already suspected that the doctors and their worthless drugs wouldn't do anything for me so I sought out natural routes instead.

That's where my online search led me to HPS which I had ran into using a search engine (Yahoo) after typing colon stress (or something of the kind). I was first overwhelmed by the volume of information the site offered. All the sysmptoms explained were ones I was suffering. However, colonic irrigation was something I had never heard of and that made me hesitant to join. But after hearing the miraculous testimonies I made up my mind to to embark upon the cleansing path.

Unfortuantely at the time, money was a problem and my living situation was less than satisfactory. I never did join HPS until a year after, but I had always come to the site regularly. After my first cleanse, I felt like I had erased years of bad eating and suffering in one cleanse. I professed from there on that I would finish the cleansing path and never look back again.

EDIT: The support group and secondly the website were the most instrumental in me making my decision to join the cleansing club.

[Frankie_B]

for me it was the support group - since i had my doubts about actually getting through it without moral support - and also the wealth of information that is so abundant on the home page alone... it was clear that the support group was more than just fellow fasters saying 'you can do it!' (and i don't underestimate how VASTLY important that is!!) but all the different levels, people from all over the world, people doing it for different reasons..everyone knows something someone else doesn't, all the generosity and sharing ..that i picked up on immediately. and wanted to get involved with it.

i personally have not seen an online community like this before, and i was pretty excited by it, just what i needed to find to kick my butt into doing this!

i think it's great - a way of utilizing the internet for health. why not? a great way of bringing people together.

Frankie

[Jody_O]

I was searching the net for information on juicing, especially as it relates to cleansing, and found the site. I had only planned to use juices for cleansing and dietary purposes, nothing beyond that.

After repeated visits to the HPS site for information, and reading the testimonials, I decided to give it a try. I start my precleanse in a few days, and I don't think I will ever regret this decision.

The postings were important to me in making my decision. I am impressed that people continue to contribute to the site months after their own cleanse has been completed.

Jody

[Michael_I]

Hi Jos-hua,

Months ago (maybe even a year ago) I did an internet search in order to find some neat things to do with my juicer. I came a across a site dedicated to fasting (not HPS). However, they were not accepting any new members / fasters as the time. I kind of dropped the fasting / cleansing idea, and went on my way with the juicer.

However.... The idea of fasting lingered in my mind. I looked around on the internet again in August, and this time, for some reason found your site.

I read everything I could in the time I had (around 30 minutes), and immediately ordered the level1 package.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... The web site is VERY well done.

Thanks for making this great,
Mike

[Julee_T]

Jos hua,

I was searching for any information linked to colon problems, information, etc.

I saw HPS, read the testimonials, looked at the pictures and devoured all information contained in the website.

[Annmarie_M]

I had heard about this subject before and was reading a bood about clearing clutter from our lives about 3 weeks ago and the subject was mentioned again. I did a google search and HPS popped up. After going through as much of the website as possible, I thought about it for a couple weeks and then decided to give it a shot.

Hope that is helpful.

Annmarie

[Janaka_P]

From the site: I read through it over a couple of days and then ordered right away - just what I didn’t know I was looking for!

[Lacey_B]

Hi Jos-hua-

I had done an interent search on cleasing and no other website was a structured and full of information as HPS. I had wanted to do a cleanse for a long time and was clear that I would actually get results by doing this program. After I read the web site I couldn't stop thinking about it. And I love testamonials! They get me really inspired.

Peace,
Lacey

[Dave_A]

Joshua,
I found the web site about 2 months before while doing a search for fasting and weight loss. I went through every page of the web site (about 4 hours). and then thought about everything. it took about two months to make the decision, but I am happy with it. It is not high-pressure and presented enough info to make a positive choice.

[Kirsten_B]

Hello Jos-hua,
My husband found your web site in the spring of 2003. I have always been curious about alternative forms of healing. I wanted to take a more hands on approach to improving my health. I witnessed first hand how much my husband benifited from your program but I was reluctant to try it for myself because of the time it would take. I always had an excuse. I finally dicided that now was as good a time as any. I read the web site and immediately signed up. I am looking forward to my first cleanse.
Sincerely,
Kirsten

[Lindsey_F]

Jos-hua,

I took a year of coming back to your site and reading. Everything helped.

I must admit that I feared some kind of cult-like guru because of your title and warnings not to talk about certain things. I even lost sleep over it.

I tried to contact someone to see if the e-addresses were real but her mailbox must have been full and rejected my letter.

I never found anything on the internet that said negative things about you. The more support group stuff I read and your replies the better I felt.

So I reached at crisis of decision- what was worth more to me money or my health? That answer is obvious.
What good is money when you are too sick (or dead) to use it.

[Rodney_L]

Joshua, by far it was the website information. You just hit home to everything that has controlled my life.

[Alicia_B]

I visited years ago and was amazed at what I saw. The information was life-changing. I could not afford to do the program at that time but I began to search . . .

I began to get colonics and eat a more natural diet. I looked everywhere for information regarding diet and lifestyle.

I continued to get colonics but I must have lost my way as far as food intake is concerned.

Recently . . . I remembered the website and began to search for it. It took me days but when I finally found it again I felt as if I returned home. This was exactly the information that I had been searching for.

Everything just makes sense. I knew that this time I would not let money stand in my way and I signed up for the fast immediately.

[Marty_K]

Jos-hua,

I think that what you are doing is extraordinary, viz. using the technology of the internet to give people access to an incredible health benefit. My story evolved like this:

a) I happened upon the HPS website
b) first I see the pictures of what comes out of you...ai-yai-yai!
c) then I see the depictions of odd shaped colons...eeeek!

I became convinced that I need to become accustomed to colon cleansing.
OK, other people are showing pictures, selling remedies, cleanse kits, herbs, what made yours different?

d) I didn't want to go it alone, ie. buy the stuff, read a book, etc. I need guidance to close the learning curve.
e) I browsed the HPS website for a week and found it very extensive, more than any other site.
f) I read testimony after testimony at the support group from people that are really doing this.
g) you acknowlege the work of Dr. Jensen and other pioneers of colonics.
h) I got a personal response to an e-mail inquiry no more than twelve hours after I sent it.

So I basically said to myself, quit browsing and get started!

[Lauren_D]

Hi Jos-hua

I got online to do some research about cleansing after learning about it from 2 co-workers. HPS came up on Google. I thoroughly read the website, some of the forum posts, thought about it overnight, then ordered the next day.

The website was so informative and having access to what people have experienced sold me.

This program is also affordable, compared to $2,000 that my co-workers paid locally.

Best -
Lauren

[Noreen_L]

Hi,

Over the past one and a half years my friend, David, has been losting weight but there was something different about him. I observed something else happening. He was so at peace and relaxed. It was not about your topical weight lose program.

Then I meet Louis, David's friend, she had been in the program for a very long time. I really liked her. We talked about food combining and some of her own experiences. I was very interested in cleaning myself inside out.

Since the new year, my son and I started eating only organic foods. At 5 years old, he seems to have such an appreciation for food. He savorys every bite. However, I am feeling I still need to make some other kinds of changes so here I am. . .

I am thrilled and very excited about being in this program.

Much love,

Noreen

[Justyna_B]

Like many other people here I was looking for information on colon cleansing and I used google search for that. HPS web site was the only one I looked at, I took some time to read testimonials, look at the pictures and very soon I was a believer. I saved up the money and two week later ordered the program.
Justyna

[John_G]

The answers are not totally representative of my choice. I recall reading about in a publication by McAlvany-- discussing digestion, food combining etc.
There was info re: Reids book with reference to your web site.
That is how I stumbled upon your web site.
I guess the timing was right.

[Greg_S]

I came upon the website about a yr ago. That was my first exposure to cleansings. The material made sense but I never really made a decision until just recently to give it a try. Reading through the testimonials of various people also helped me make my decision.

[Clark_C]

My first awareness regarding the need for cleansing was during a radio commercial 5-10 years ago when someone stated that during John Wayne's autopsy, they discovered 40 lbs of undigested meat in his intestines!

They promoted some herbal product they claimed to do what this site says. If I recall, there was no mention of colonics at all. So, after reading more on this site, it was obviously another scam.

I don't remember how I came upon the site, but briefly read parts and bookmarked it for later review. I came back again a few months later and read more. After I finished reading it, I still waited another week or two before actually ordering.

Clark

[Ramona_W]

We didn't see the site when surfing a yr ago. The wife of an emplyee asked about Ramona one day & recommended that we check out the site. They came over & spent 1/2 a day with us assuring us that it worked, was safe, and was the very best way to go.

We checked out the site, really liked the material, but were concerned that it was just another sales pitch. So then we sent in our email to see if with all her allergies, Ramona could go through the procedure safely. We were also concerned that she had become too weak. Your answer was helpful, but others were recommending certain tests. We knew she didn't have much time to waste, and you have to wait a long time to get in to see some doctors. That really wasn't the course of action we wanted... they'd either recommend surgery or lifelong medicines, which is why we were trying to avoid them!!!!

I'm sorry but we didn't ever see the support group testimonies, and I did get really frightened when I considered how complicated it could be to use an internet based program for such a procedure. Our internet server is unpredictable and I'm prone to losing everything I do on the net! I sure didn't want to have trouble in the middle of the Formal Cleanse, & not be able to have local help if needed. So then we almost didn't proceed. But we're sure glad we did!!!!

Our newfound friend talked us into it again. She said it was a gentle procedure, safer even than any medical testing, she was confident that the colonics was our answer, and that we could figure out the computer logistics, although she's never seen your new layout.

She was right. You've done an incredible job putting this all together. Writing up comprehensive instructions on any project this big, is a real challenge, overwhelming in fact. You've done a great job with the cleanse & education. As for technically incompetent people like me, maybe I could help you write a simplified version of the summary!!! We think you're doing great, thanks Jos-hua!

[Jessie_C]

I was in Koh Samui, Thailand for 2 weeks in May, and I read a little bit about fasting programs in a spa guide that I picked up. I had been having some strange health problems, and the idea of fasting really appealed to me. When I got home, I searched the web to see what kind of information was out there about fasting programs. I came across HPS-Online and read through the web site for a couple of weeks. One thing that really struck me about HPS is that Jos-hua also does in-person cleansings in Koh Samui. Since that is where I was when I started to think about this, it hit home for me in a way that I didn't expect. It felt like it was meant to be.

I also talked with some friends and my yoga instructor about fasting and cleansing. I was still thinking that "cleansing is something that only weird people do." But once I read through the support forum and talked to people I know about cleansing, it started to seem more like something that my body really needed.

There is so much useful information on the HPS web site. I am the kind of person who needs as much information as possible before I do something, whether it's a process as important as cleansing my body or something as small as buying a camera. The comprehensive information on the web site, combined with assurances from friends and some kind of gut feeling that I had, is the reason I decided to go ahead with the 7DW cleanse.

[Anna_P]

Jos-hua,

I had never heard of colon cleansing, and all I knew about fasting was that some people did it, but I didn't know why.

My Trager practitioner put me in touch with Pat W. who told me about the HPS web site. After looking it over for a week or so, and after a couple of phone conversations with Pat, the whole concept of cleansing and detox began to make perfect sense to me. I must admimt that at first I was horrified - what is wrong with these people that they mess around with their bodies like that!

It was my eagerness to improve my symptoms, the reassurance of Pat, and the excellent info on the web site that turned me around.

Anna P

[Belinda_G]

Jos-hua,

I had done a google search looking for Dr. Hulda Clarkes Liver cleanse, really looking for her parasite 'product' that had been recommended. The liver cleanse came up on the HPS site with the recommendation to do a bowel cleanse, kidney cleanse and definately parasite purge.

I aggreed entirely (with my prior experience of cleansing some 18 years ago and limited knowledge).

it was a case of wondering where I was...then wandering around the support site and community for a couple of hours. Getting more and more excited, realising the brilliance, experience, care and life changing opportunity that was being offered here.

Being so bugged by parasites - as soon as I saw Maz in Australia in the community (It seemed to be American based cyber space) I sort to sign up.

love Belinda

[Tamara_L]

Jos-hua,

I was looking on the internet for cleansing information. I came across the usual pills to buy, but I have in the past, tried these kind of products but with little results. I only succeeded to get my bowels moving for a period of time.

I was also looking for a way to lose some weight. I tried many many different diets that came out on the market, but after losing about 5 pounds, the whole process came to a halt. It was not from a lack of trying!

From researching information on cleansing I found contradiction. Some said no to colonics and some said yes. Others cleansed by food and pills only. I felt that the only way to get really cleansed was to cleanse/detox the entire body with both methods. How can you clean the colon only when your blood, liver, etc. are toxic?

When I came across the HPS website it all made sense. This is what I was looking for. I read the website many different times and over a month's time. Then I purchased the program because I knew this was the way to go.

Tamara_L

[Philip_A]

Just read the site info and applied a little while later.

Cheers

[Anna_P]

Heidi,

We continue to be a lot alike. That's about how I ordered too. But I had the advantage of having spoken with a woman who lives near me who had gone through the program. That really helped with the fear factor. She was unbelievably helped. She had terrible rheumatoid arthritis (her husband practically had to dress her in the morning, as I understand it), was taking $25,000 a year worth of medications (which didn't help much) and was at the end of her rope.

That was Pat W. You oughtta read up on her sometime.

Cheers!
Anna P

[Valmiki_N]

I'd been tracking the website and forum for a few months now, and the forums definitely made a huge difference, Even though the website has a wealth of useful information, it is the personal experiences that had me hooked. And while testimonials are always good, it's an unbeatable advantage to be able to actually email the members and ask questions (thanks Saurabh, i finally made it).

The initial investment of time and money kept me from actually go all the way, but all of the above, added to the sensible concept of combining fasting and home colonics (privacy) to cleanse from the inside out, makes a very convincing argument to go with HPS.
Glad to be here :)

[Ronald_H]

In early 2003 I came across the HPS website as part of a search on colon cleansing. I had found different sources that talked about it's importance to overall health and was just looking for additional information. The cost of the program at that time was more than my concern about colon health could justify. Also, I could not see blocking out time from my job to do it effectively and correctly. I couldn't see making it work in the midst of a lifestyle that left me totally exhausted after long work days and weeks.

As an alternative I tried several herbal cleansing programs even though the full colonic seemed clearly the more complete way to go. When the announcement about the price increase arrived, I had just resigned my job and was in the process of rethinking my work options. Now I had time to devote fully to at least the Level 1 cleanse and the depth of the program in regards to helping with personal disciplines, etc., suddenly made this more than just a physical colon cleanse. Also, since many other aspects of developing personal health are included (food combining, fasting, emotional and spiritual functioning) the program suddenly seemed to be a necessity for this stage of my life. The timing was right.

In short, everything available to evaluate HPS played a part in deciding to spend the money and time on this program: the website, eguide, autoresonder emails, forum comments, access to current cleansers, and most definitely the full scope of what is addressed by this program.

Jos-hua, thanks again for your investment and commitment to the HPS program.

[Virginia_M]

I read through the website for about three weeks and the thing that got me was no amount of fasting would be abe to clear the amount of crap hidden in corners of the colon.

[Jennifer_R]

I had read a previous book about steps to take for optimal health and colon cleansing was one of the items. It recommended a couple of daily steps along with a quarterly "super cleanse." While it gave pointed to items to buy for the daily cleansing, it gave no guidance for the quarterly cleansing. So online I went in search of help, and to HPS I arrived. I read the information and a lot of what was on the site was information I had heard before. That helped reinforce it. Plus the price was going up the next day and I decided I didn't want to gamble on it being simply a marketing ploy. Lucky for me I went ahead and ordered because the price did go up the next day! :)

[Donaciano_G]

Hi,
well, I first found out about the site through a google search about colonic cleansing. Later, I went through the site and read through all of the documents, testimonials, and the theory behind the whole process.

- Donaciano_G

[Mark_H]

I stumbled across the website one day and it seemed logical and well-thought out. I thought about ordering over a period of months, and when my IBS worsened significantly for a few weeks despite diet and exercise, I realized that traditional methods were not going to work long-term, so I ordered the program.

Take care,
Mark

[Nancy_H]

Personally, this is something I had been considering doing for a year after reading a news paper article about a health resort in Thailand which specialised in this kind of programme, but I felt that I did not want to have to travel to detox. Then I spotted this web site after searching for detox solutions and was immediately attracted by the wealth of information offered, the pictures also helped, kind of proof of the pudding.

[William_C]

Greetings Jos-hua,

I had no current health problems when I discovered the HPS web site, but I was concerned about my future health because I had always eaten the SAD diet. I read every page, and testimony on your web site. I checked out the group and read through the posts. Your philosophies agreed with mine. I ordered.

Thank you for serving us!

Wiliam

[Kylea_G]

I'm increasing the bar for those instant orderers!

This was simply handed to me by the Universe -- I saw a listing on Google when my husband was searching online for something completely different (I don't even know what).

I knew I had to follow that link and when I did I knew I had to participate. I didn't even read the entire site... just "knew".

If there was one clincher it was the statement that hps cleansing was *not* about products.

[Scott_M]

I was definitely impressed by the website, and I liked getting the e-mails, even though I knew I wanted to do the program it still took a year for me to finally order it. I think the e-mails helped me to stop procrastinating

[Mark_D]

I was researching bags under the eyes. The more I read the more intriqued I was. What encouraged me to go ahead with it was the detailed instructions and knowing that thousands of others have already gone through with it.

I have been looking into this type of thing for awhile now serching high and low I've tried orka pepsin wich is suppose to do the same thing but didn't work. What really sold me was the pictures, I've seen photo copies but nothing in color like this it blew my mind I knew right away it was a must have.

[Ken_B]

Jos-hua,

I did quite a bit of research, saw your site, waded through the imposters and felt that you were the genuine article.

NOTHIN LIKE MAKIN THE RIGHT DECISION!


Thanks,

hello,

i first looked at the website after google searching for colon cleansing in the spring of 2004. i then decided to juice fast on my own, then tried the master cleanser. it wasn't until after a few fasts, emails from hps, reviewing the site, a lot of unanswered questions, and dissatisfaction with my health that i finally purchased the first cleanse in the fall of 2004.

Hello

I googled. found the site, read, saw compelling pictures, signed off, and then gathered months more momentum as my colon continued to act out with seemingly a life/brain of its own.

I was already working with a Rife machine, colonics, Ayurveda, lifestyle changes, compassion and food combining. My efforts were still 'efforts' and behavior modification, prayers and bargains.

I revisited Jos-hua's site, read more pages, and realized that the savings of driving, struggling, bouncing on and off mental focus and congruency was worth the $$ nvestment. I was already investing time and energy.

I appreciate the cultivation of wisdom and felt that while I could 'do' many things around my colon, I ultimately was subservient to it. I am seeking honor, simplicity and knowingness of my body. That I apply myself and can measure results is appealing, as the parasite infestation/mucoid layers are way bigger than my will, apparently.

SO, I can feel the oportunity and power of riding on the support of you all, and Jos-hua's expertise. I am excited to unfold, grow and emancipate!

Thank you Jos-hua for sharing your experience for us to benefit. Jeanine

I was researching fasting and colon cleansing on the internet due to my problems with constipation and irregular bm's and came across this website. I was impressed by the amount of imformation and how thorough it was and how many benefits resulted from this program. Also, seeing the pictures of all the toxic crap inside of us influenced me to order.

Joshua,

I had been researching potential causes and cures for diabetes and came across mucoid plaque being very harmful to the body. I typed in mucoid plaque in a search engine and somehow I was led to your sight. I'm very glad I was.

I proceded with the colonic cleanse because I had already decided to dp all that I could to improve my health. I read about the Hallelujah Health lifestyle and decided to change my eating and lifestyle to follow this. The improvement was dramatic but I still had problems with my bowel. In my reading I had come across 'colonic cleansing' as part of the treatment for various complaints. I asked the people who supported the Hallelujah Health program in Australia and they gave me the web address. I read the website and knew that this was what I needed to do. I believe that there is a toxic build up in my body that prevents a complete healing of my bowel problem and allergies. I am excited to be able to do this for myself and I know that there is a great support group in the forum. Thank you Jos-hua for going that extra mile and making this available to all of us.
Blessings,
June

Actually this is the end of a convoluted path that did not start out with health at all. Where it actually began I can not tell you today. It was one of those starting on one website and a breadcrumb led you somewhere else ... eventually interesting health stuff started to emerge and I started my own google search on "colon cleanse" all types.

I had tried fasting years ago with little or no success.
I had tried colon cleanses in the form of high coffee enemas (a number of times ... different stages of life) but I had questions about how effective they actually were. I never could feel that using a 4 to 6 inch nozzle to flow in maybe 3 to 4 qts of water was going to get out all of the gunk even if you did it 3 or 4 times in a row as most enthusiasts suggest. Professional colonics made sense on some level because of the amount of consistent water flow. However they are very expensive (not to mention inconvenient) and one or two I figured were not enough to do anything significant.

Finally I read about the "colema board" and lying down with at least a 5 gallon flow (in the privacy of your own home) sounded interesting ... my next google search was on that board ... how it worked ... reviews on it, how much it cost and where to get it. In this search I happened upon HPS. It took me 5 mins of reading to know I was in a place that was going to lead to something important. I took the rest of the day (several hours) and much of the next reading over the site (there is a lot of information here). I wrote to the email address listed on the site for questions that I had ... got no response. I almost left at that point thinking if whoever was at the other end was not interested in PRE-SALES questions being answered then how interested would they be POST-SALES.

I did nothing for several days and actually forgot about it.

Then I started experiencing the light headed feeling that I always associate with my blood pressure being high only this time none of the normal things I do made it go away. The next thing I know I was directed back on the HPS site and reading again. This sequence of events was enough to make me realize there was something to learn and a new approach and discipline to my life.

I signed up and am now awaiting my first cleanse with excitement.
Common sense tells me if one is to cleanse it has to be a whole body not just parts of it. This discipline appears to cover it all. It was enlightening to see the comments of those who have gone thru the cleanses ... that however was not why I chose to try the cleanse myself. Everyone is different therefore each experience will differ ... maybe slightly ... maybe a lot. The one thing for sure is each of us gets exactly what we need ... it is then our job to recognize that and continue on. :cool:

The system was different when I started . I don't think you could view the online site of cleansers. I kind of liked that it was closed. I don't think it was and is necessary for non cleansers to see our activity.

The website is so complete and professional as a vehicle to inlist future cleansers. That way people on the site can say anything among people who are on the path and not worry what non cleansers will think or be shocked or be mislead or afraid.

Just in the way that level four is closed not non fourth level people. I certainly respect that and am sure they enjoy the freedom to share freely.

I was doing a Google search on "brown sugar" (e.g., is it really more healthy than white sugar) and happened on the food combination information. After reading some of it, I wanted to know who was posting it. So I followed the URL Address stem to HPS and found you.

Ironically, earlier that morning I had said a very heartfelt, long prayer asking spirit for assistance in healing my body, and improving my health, vitaility, nutrition, etc. After reading the information on your site, including the group's comments, I knew it was a direct answer to that prayer.

I spent the next two days reading on and off from the site, and after reviewing my finances and working out a budget, I joined.

[Adrian_S]

For a number of years, I have been trying to live a healthy lifestyle, although I didn't have major health problems. I didn't follow a specific diet, but tried to stick to the "common sense" (don't like the Standard American Diet but didn't know about food combining, either). Suffices to say that I hate taking medicines - I leave colds heal themselves (or have some teas).

Still, now I then I have my problems - such as my right nostril is stuck very often, especially after I wake up. So, I was looking for some remedies on the Internet, found products, but also found out about a yoga procedure for doing that (Jala Neti - nasal washing). I wanted to know more about it (remember that medicines is the route I don't want to go), and got to a yoga forum website, which was discussing about purifying the body by doing 7 yoga techniques, Jala Neti being one of them. Some guy asked why he should be doing some technique which involved swallowing a cloth (the reason was to remove some of the colon unhealthy coatings), and someone else wrote about mucoid plaque and HPS.

I got to HPS, and it fit my health philosophy (but went way beyond). I'm a very thorough person, so I took 3 days to read the entire website, testimonials, followed links and forums and read those threads. It was so much new information... and it made so much sense. Before ordering I also found some other similar sites, with good information (some of it not available on HPS), but they were more products oriented (not pills, but more like air ionizer, water alkalinizer, etc.), and didn't emphasize people, testimonials and support group.
Three days after I first heard about HPS I ordered... and here I am.

[Seena_T]

Hi Jos-hua-

I was looking online for ways to detoxify- there is so much information out there that I felt I was going in circles... I needed a master plan- one voice to trust and follow.

I don't know what I was looking up when I got to this website- I think fasting- but I knew it was "meant to be" when I started reading. I read the whole web site and parts of the forums. I couldn't stop returning- the only thing holding me back was the price (I live on a small military pension).

I thought about what I was begining to spend anyway- on the unrelated products and information - which sometimes conflicted- and decided I COULD afford to make 4 payments - that it would be worth the peace of mind and would end up saving me time, energy, and money. Then I realized it wasn't much to pay for real health. This all took me just a couple of days.

A New Beginning

Somehow this cleansing program sought me out at a time for change in my life
style. Along with a month of diet change from the books that are recommen ded to read, I already see a difference for the good. Looking forward to
feeling my best with the upcoming cleanse. It just makes so much sense!
Getting healthy!

[Stacy_M]

Hi Jos-hua

I was looking at one of my favorite alternative health websites one day, and I followed a link to pictures of "colon droppings". I had seen such pictures before at other websites, but it had been a while, and for some reason I just decided on a whim to see those pictures. That link led to the HPS website. I got caught up in the website, probably looked at some of the testimonials, and had a gut feeling that this program was what I had been hoping for. I balked a little at the price, but ultimately went ahead and ordered. I didn't "go away and come back", because I didn't want some part of me that thinks it knows better to change my mind for me.

I think that the excerpt about milk, and maybe some of the others from D. Reid's book, played a major role in convincing me to order. I already had some knowledge of the truth of what he's saying, and that gave the website a lot of credibility in my view.

Reading D. Reid's book, and reading posts of other cleansers, continues to convince me that HPS was an incredible find and that signing up was absolutely the right choice, and that I have a lot to look forward to. Thanks Jos-hua!

Love Stacy

[Holly_C]

I found the website one night while researching food combining. I had never considered a 'cleanse' before - in fact, didn't know there was such a thing! - at least not such a full and comprehensive one. I read the website over and ordered either the next day or the day after.

[Jaigi_T]

Hello Jos-hua,

I ordered after having been recommended by a trusted friend who seems much more up to date of novelties on the web than I do. I would probably never have come across HPS, researched it or ordered it had it not been for this person.

Jaigi_T.

[Brandon_C]

As many people have, I accidentally stumbled upon HPS while researching food combining. Just a short time before, I became more aware of my condition of an uneven abdomen. Having been told that it was a slide protrusion due to a build up of mucoid plaque, I wanted it out! I actually was unable to find any solid information searching online - probably incorrect terminology. A few weeks later, and just days after concluding that there must be an underlying cause for me to still have acne after cleaning up my diet, bath products used, drinking lots of water, etc., I started to read about HPS cleansing.
At first, once I realized what it consisted of, I thought it was quite crazy. I did not think I could ever bring myself to performing a colenema. But, it all made so much sense and seemed very logical. A great man once said: "The truth is written in every man's heart." So after only a couple of days of thinking about it, and reading a few testimonials, I decided this was right for me. I had actually ordered Daniel Reid's book before I purchased the program.
I have only fasted twice before, each for only 36 hours, but I did feel good afterward. The way I see it, it's all or none. I now know the 36 hour fast (no herbals, no colenemas) did not do much to detox my body, but this is the complete package, the way to do it right. And I always say, "Anything worth doin' is worth doin' right."

[Stacey_H]

I happened onto your site as I was browsing for information about
food combining, colon cleansing and fasting. I had been interested in
doing some combination of them to really kickstart my road back to health. When I saw them all together I got excited.

I was also considering getting a colonic but was having a hard time with
the idea of someone else administering to me....too shy, nervous, etc..
It's something I'd rather do in private but with someone to ask questions, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Glad I found you- can't wait to get started!

Jos-hua;

I've been looking for some time,for a cleanse that's going to suit me.

I've done three cleanse's so far, some good ,some bad, so we'll see
in the comming months and i'll decide then if i'll continue,but i must say that everything looks really good so far.

As for this cleanse i was looking and reading for a long while, wondering if the cleanse was good or bad. And i came to the conclusion that it was.So here goes, happy to be here!

[Walter_T]

I had been considering embarking on some sort of colon therapy for a little while. As I mentioned in my Intro, Kevin Trudeau's recommendations is to have a colonic every other day for 30 days. That seemed like a difficult bill to fill. When I came across this site, I was elated to find what seemed to be a much more thourough program, and one that could be done in 1 week (give or take).

[Mia_L]

Hi everyone

I ordered this way "I read the website, the autoresponders, the eguide, the support group, and then only ordered" as fincancially I would have chosen to do this at another time, and so if I was going to do it I wanted to make sure my money was being well spent.

The autoresponders that came up when I enquired about a Liver cleanse took my attention. This was what I put in the search engine and it prompted to only do a Liver cleanse once the body is less toxic.

I do feel there is an order to do things and it made sense to me. Once I read through the details on the website I recalled the TV programe I had seen some years previously on cleansing and believed the best way to do anything is to start at the begining.

So I did! :)

[Tangene_C]

Hello Jos-hua,

I have actually visited the website several times in the last year. I would put colon cleanser in the msn search engine and the website would come up. The first few times my thoughts were "why does it have to cost so much to clean me out!" Not really understanding all involved because with most things I do, I look at cost first and then determine if the services are worth it. With this I could not get past the cost.

Well after a discussion I had with a co-worker about colon cleansers, I went back to actually read through everything at the website. She opted to do something else with the pills, but having been down that road I didn't want to do it again, I wanted something different. There is a saying "if you want something you never had you got to do something you never did."

I have not had optimum health for years. It was time do something different. So I asked you a bunch of questions that you answered very promptly (that actually impressed me).

So I put my money and my determination out there and here I am.

[Carol_W]

Hello Jos-hua,

I was curious one night about colon cleansing and started looking for information. The site was a bounty of info and I read through a bunch that same night. I came back several days later read some more info and then read some introductions and testamonials.

I looked at some other websites and pictures, but kept coming back to HPS. I thought about it for several weeks and came back to reread some it and decided that if I was going to try this path I need the guidance of experienced travellers. So I signed up.

I actually found your poll about guidance level in the confirmation email to be the final confirmation of this being the right thing to do. But I'll address that over in another thread.

[Kimberly_R]

Hi Jos-hua!

My friend Dawn_S told me about the cleansing, and that was enough for me! I trusted in her wisdom and guidance:)

Peace,
Kimberly_R

[Karen_M]

Hi Jos-hua,

I stumbled on to the website, was amazed and horrified by the photographs, bounced around the site for a couple hours then signed up.

What really convinced me were the introduction threads, and more importantly, the responses and what appeared to be an ongoing dialogue -- advice and support from folks who had apparently been there. If this was a sham of some kind, then someone went to WAY too much trouble...

I'M glad I'M here!

Peace,
Karen

[John_F]

I ordered the cleanse after many failed attempts at getting healthy by myself.

I've read a lot about health and healing and the ideas expressed on the website reflected what I already knew to an extent but it seemed to take it to a much higher level.

It didn't promote a quick fix, but a very integrated approach that required some discipline and patience yet was powerful enough to catalyze change and healing in the body.

[Michael_M]

I'd say support group. Not only is the support group compassion from a group of people that want to see others have a successful cleanse, it's also full of information and shows the mistakes and successes of others and what they did. Because it's such personl experience it's very inspiring. I also picked this choice because I have cleansed in the past and didn't finish it. This is something dynamic that helps keep you going.

I stumbled across the hps website while on a 36hour water fast I was scanning the net for fasting information and came across hps.

I immediately saw a load of content which I read to see if I became interested in any of it and I straight away I was hooked.

I began reading the website daily for about 3weeks applying for the esaydetox mail and all the rest and was absolutley enthralled with the content.

It was purely information I had never had my hands on before.

A completely different way of looking at the body.

After many conversations with myself I decided to stop wasting time and sign up.

[John_H]

Hi Jos-hua

I was looking for colon cleansing products on the web. I was narrowing down my choices, reading reviews, etc. Somewhere along the way I found your website. The fact that there were so many testimonials to read, all seeming very authentic, may have been what persuaded me the most. Plus the fact that I knew I needed to do the board. I decided the next day that this was the best system that I was going to find, so I ordered.

There's a lot of advertising/competition among the product-oriented companies. I saw a few "review" sites also that give a particular brand flying colors in every category (they may be slightly biased?) It might be difficult to for the HPS to get noticed amid all the other hoopla and promotion by the other companies, for people who haven't heard about it thru word-of-mouth. So I feel pretty lucky that I found HPS.

- John

[Jai_N]

I had questions which my western doctors could not answer for me so I decided to take my heath into my own hands. In that time I discovered HPS and the website content was enough to convince me that this is a good investment.

[Katherine_R]

I found this website by accident about a year ago. Read everything that I could find that wasn't restricted (apparently from reading others on this thread I didn't find some of the things they did, and didn't know I could email someone to get some of my questions answered.)

Then I looked at other websites, Dr. Bernard Jensen, got a few of his books, and his daughter's new one ( I asked for it for Christmas). Ordered his cleansing products and did a 7 day cleanse around the 1st of December,2006.

I kept coming back to this site thinking maybe I was missing something, saw a post that mentioned Dr. Reid's book, got it and have read it a couple of times.


The hardest thing during that cleanse was having to cook for my husband all the wrong things:i.e. lots of meat (beef, pork, some chicken), vegetables from the can or frozen. And not only that, but having him ask why I wasn't eating, and when was I going to start.

I became a member, for the support and to find out what I was missing doing it by myself. My big goal is to be able to STOP BUYING HEALTH INSURANCE, because when you are self employed, ya gotta buy it yourself. Until I can prove to my husband that I am totally healthy for the next 40 years, he won't understand. I don't think he would ever do a cleanse, but maybe if he sees a big enough change in me he might ask what I was doing.

Whoops, got off the subject!!

[Patricia_S]

Hi Jos-hua

I was reading the book called [U]The Weight Loss Cure[U] and the Author was making referrences to products that could be purchased. I fired up the computer and started looking online for the products for colon cleansing and found this site. I read it for a couple of days and then started reading testimonials. I made my decision after that. The web site and the thought of the support group interested me enough to sign up.

[Dorothea_L]

Hi,

Five days ago, on Wednesday, I was researching the use of castor oil; in that search I saw the phrase "colon purge" so I used that to do another google search.

HPS was the 10th listing down and when I saw "juice fasting" it especially caught my attention because it sounded easier than water fasting.

When I got to the web site, I read for a few minutes but when I saw your video, I clicked on that and listened in. For me, that's pretty well what made my decision (can you tell; I'm impulsive). A video can deliver so much information in such a short time, I think it is your most effective tool for someone like me (I'm visually oriented, not word oriented)

When I saw all the words on your sight, it almost discouraged me, but fortunately I have a wise husband, from whom I was wise enough to ask help. He took a serious look at your sight and read as much as possible and agreed with me that it was something worthwhile. (Especially when he read someone's testimony about mercury being released from his body!)

In the word search for your site, do you have "colon cleanse" as well? Because way back in January, I was doing some research about that. Perhaps your site did show up... I didn't see it though and was probably not ready to listen anyway.

I so do appreciate all the hard work you do for HPS and its cleansers, thank you.

Dorothea

[David_K]

I was travelling on business (to Las Vegas, NV) and in my hotel room I got online and was doing some online searching for some symptoms I have and HPS caught my eye. I read through the whole site, looked at the pictures, read through some of the forums, and then searched for negative reviews of HPS. When I found nothing negative at all about HPS, I researched cleansing in general and found there was a general consensus out there about the benefits of cleansing. So, I came back to the forums again, read some more, and that made my mind up for me. The other programs out there will probably do about the same thing as HPS, but without guided help and the ton of support here, those sites don't compare. They are selling you products... you're just a number to them. It's different here. Support is forced on you in a loving and caring way. Reciprocation of the support is expected for others, and I like having that responsibility :) So, I ordered after about reading everything for around 2 hours... in a hotel room no less :) You can't go wrong with the HPS cleansing system!
Dave

[Christopher_S]

I did some research and found that a lot of my health issues were most likely due to a toxic body. So I googled around and found first some 'get cleansed quick' junk sites(pills, etc.) and then HPS. I investigated the site for approximately 4 weeks before I made my decision to join. I wanted knowledge and sustainable results not a quick fix. Every other site was at best only that so it was an easy choice.

Thanks,
Chris
