I first discovered HPS about 2 years ago. I was hesitant to join because I was unsure how safe it was and considered the process to be extreme to say the least.
However, it sparked my interest in natural health which I have been studying nearly every day since. I found my research bringing me back to the same things that are staples of the HPS program: juicing, fasting, (cleansing), home colonics, herbal supplements etc.
It was at this point that I decided to take another look at HPS. I knew from my research that HPS was based on sound principals but there were a few key things that motivated me to make this investment in myself:
1. The support group - I knew that I would need guidance with the specific aspects of cleansing from those who had experience with it. I liked the idea of being able to practice the cleansing in the privacy of my own home, while at the same time being able to be privately involved with a group of people who were and are practicing this program. I knew that having the support of people who have experience with cleansing would mean the difference in my success, which after completing the program I can attest to.
2. The COMPREHENSIVE program - having all of these cleansing techniques (juicing, fasting, home colonics, herbals etc.) combined into one program was another motivating factor. After doing the program, I can say that not only is the program comprehensive, but it is also laid out in a way that makes it very easy for the beginner to follow and even customize to their own scheduling requirements.
3. The owner - Jos-hua was another reason I began the program. Through all of the information on the site and the videos that he made, it really made me confident that I was making the correct decision. The thing that I liked most was that he is actually practicing the HPS program like all of the members of the group. Instead of just "researching" or doing a couple of cleanses, Jos-hua has done extensive cleansing practice on his own body, which gave me real confidence in his expertise and the program in itself.
With all that being said the most important part: THE RESULTS! :)
After seeing some of the pictures on the HPS website of the stuff that people were eliminating, I was expecting some pretty gross stuff to come out during the cleanse. However I thought since I was a bit younger that my results would probably pale in comparison to what I had seen.
Let me tell you that I was ASTOUNDED by the amount of toxic waste that came out of my body! I can't even put it into words, so I included pictures of what came out at the bottom of this testimonial. Please note that these pictures are the NORM of what was coming out each and every time, 2 times a day for nearly 10 day straight! I still have a hard time believing the amount of stuff that was (and probably still is) inside of me. Actually experiencing it for myself really brought about an awareness of what I am consuming on a day-to-day basis, which has translated into my post cleanse eating habits.
Along with getting rid of this massive amount of "sludge", I have experienced the following results:
- My insomnia has improved significantly. I sleep sounder and wake up much less frequently during the night. Also, I require less sleep than I did before beginning the program.
- My depression/anxiety has diminished to the point where it has little if any effect. This is after having these symptoms for over 8 years, and them having a significant impact on the quality of my life. After the cleanse I feel much more calm and composed.
- I have more energy than I can ever remember having. Any symptoms of chronic fatigue which had become a normal thing are pretty much gone. This energy seems to stay with me throughout the day.
- I have lost nearly 30 pounds since beginning the program (from 205lbs to 177lbs @ 5ft10"). This is the lightest I've been in over 6 years. I feel much lighter on my feet.
- I am off of any recreational drugs and alcohol. This is after almost 8 years of habitual drug abuse, along with heavy drinking which was steadily increasing up until beginning HPS. Not only do I refrain from these things, but I don't feel the "urge" to use. In most cases it is the opposite and I am actually sickened by watching other people participate in these things. I think the knowledge I have gained about my body/organs and the understanding that I am in complete control of my health for better or worse have made this possible.
- My digestion is MUCH improved (with all of that junk in there I don't know how I was digesting anything before this!)
- I CRAVE fruits and vegetables now. A lot of HPS cleansers have experienced the same thing. I used to crave the complete opposite -
starches, deep fried foods, sugar etc. Now I can't seem to get enough of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds etc.
- Probably most importantly, I now have the knowledge and skills to begin rebuilding my health and immunity. I have learned so much from this program as of yet, but I know that I am only scratching the surface of what is possible. I know with practice, any worries about my health will be a thing of the past which is already making my life much more enjoyable.
Before beginning the program most of my friends and family were ridiculing my decision to begin cleansing like this. Now after seeing my results, the same ones who were laughing are now considering HPS and want to know more about the process!

The pictures are from days 3,4,5,6 and 7 of the cleanse, in that order.
