| Customer Testimonials Say It Best |
| |
It's easy to state that we are committed to helping people lead healthier lives by providing top quality, science-backed nutritional supplements (though it happens to be true!). It's also easy for us to declare that we are truly committed to the health care practitioners who prescribe our products, through educational and practice support (which of course, we are). It is, however, impossible to persuade a customer to praise us if we are not 100% deserving of that praise.
No one speaks to the quality and value of our products and services better than our customers. We thank each of you for sharing your heartfelt comments; your feedback is very important to us!

HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL TESTIMONIALS
"As a nutritionist, I use the Designs for Health Detoxification Protocol with all of my patients. They see immediate results, which in turn, inspires them to continue on the path to wellness. The PaleoCleanse shakes, Probiotic Synergy, Omega Ultra Marine and the Detoxification Support Packets are the core products of my practice. While the program is designed for 3 weeks, many of my patients feel so much better using the products that they continue for 6 weeks — and some stay on the shakes for breakfast or snacks, as part of their normal daily regimen! Most patients report weight loss, increased energy, better sleep quality and clearer skin. Some patients see dramatic improvements in their blood pressure, cholesterol, and joint pain. I will always use the Detox program as the core plan for all of my patients. Designs for Health makes detoxifying convenient with the Detox Packets and the compliance is truly remarkable!"

"As a health care practitioner who has recently begun using your products, I'd like to tell you how pleased I am with: 1) your service; 2) your technical support, especially the "Friday Fun Facts" and Clinical Rounds; 3) your products; and [most of all], 4) your ongoing attempts to keep your "Professional Brand in Professional Hands" (as evidenced by your recent letter). The lack of that commitment to the practitioner has caused me, of necessity, to abandon other brands readily available via the Internet at barely over cost to the practitioner."
—Francine M. Michaels, DC, Carmel, CA
"As I was preparing the Designs for Health order last Monday, at the Santa Monica Homeopathic Pharmacy, the manager there told me about your incredibly generous offer (donation of $10,000 of product to our troops in Iraq). I have always enjoyed sharing information about the quality and efficacy of your products with customers at the pharmacy, as well as with my private clients. I always share the motto, "Science First." However, now I think it should be "Science With Heart." It doesn't get any better than that. Thank you for all that you do."
—Susan Tourtelot, CN, Los Angeles, CA
"I have used Designs for Health supplements for years in my nutritional counseling practice. It is difficult to find high quality supplements without gluten, and that is very important to me since I have many clients that are gluten-intolerant. Education is also very important and I appreciate the effort Designs for Health has put forth making health care practitioners, including myself, aware of the latest research and how to use their supplements."
—Carolyn Borst, CN, Jefferson City, MO
"I recommend Designs for Health supplements to my patients because of the clinical results I achieve using them."

"The Premiere Platform patient education newsletters that I send out from the Hypertension Institute each quarter are an extremely effective way to educate patients to take control of their health and their lives. The response from patients is fantastic. Designs for Health is instrumental with their support for editing, printing and mailing these to all of my patients. They should be commended for their interest in education. Thanks for all that you do."

About Hypertension
"I wanted to share my experience working with Designs for Health. I have developed a professional relationship with my Designs for Health Representative. She takes the time to explain the products in detail and sends me updated materials related to new products and protocols. It's rare to find a company that offers its customers not only high quality products, but the highest quality of service and educational material that be accessed in seconds from the website. I look forward to the Friday Fun Facts [e-mails], and I frequently tune in to listen in on the Wednesday night [Clinical Rounds] lectures. I appreciate my Designs for Health Representative because she has become an endless source of information for me."
—Karen Roth, MS, NC, Holistic Nutrition Consultant, Valencia, CA
"The Premiere Platform program has provided a very useful service for my practice. It allows me to keep up with the latest product releases through new product samples and spec sheets. Another great perk is the Clinical Rounds CDs that I add to my continuing education library. With savings on seminars, continuing education, and product samples, the Premiere Platform program gives back in more ways than one."
—Jade Teta, ND, LAc, CSCS, Winston-Salem, NC
"We are extremely pleased with the results that we see with Allicillin. The liquid form is very effective with childhood ear and upper respiratory infections, and is very well tolerated. The Allicillin capsules are our most effective weapon against gastrointestinal pathogens. We couldn't be more pleased!"
—William C., ND, Shipsewana, IN
"Neurolink has been very helpful to many of my patients, especially those who have over-focused anxiety and mood issues. In my experience, in many cases, it works as well as medication."

"Metabolic Synergy - I appreciate [the] "all-in-one" aspect of this formula: It's not only a high potency multivitamin/mineral formula, but [it also] contains blood sugar control nutrients, important for so many of my patients with food cravings, overweight, blood sugar swings, fatigue, brain fog, and mood swings."
—Hyla Cass, MD, Pacific Palisades, CA
Author of Natural Highs and 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health
"Melatonin, StressArrest, and 5HTP are loved by our patients to eliminate insomnia. DFH products are very bioavailable [unlike other brands I have used]. I know this because I do blood tests before and after supplementation.
"Allicilin has worked as effectively with our patients."
—Marc Darrow, MD, JD, Board Certified Psychiatrist
Los Angeles, CA
"I believe that Brain Vitale is an excellent combination of brain nutrition and cellular support. I use it every day as a mainstay of my own brain supplementation, along with an additional capsule of GPC. I recommend [Brain Vitale] to every patient who asks what they can do to help their brain be as "healthy" as possible."
—J. Michael Uszler, MD, Santa Monica, CA
"Metabolic Synergy is a perfect all-in-one multivitamin for anyone with Metabolic Syndrome. I use it with all of my insulin resistant clients. With high levels of B vitamins, vanadium, alpha lipoic acid, and inositol, it helps with fasting glucose levels and weight loss, and my clients usually see noteworthy results within the first month of use. I strongly recommend Metabolic Synergy to anyone dealing with insulin insensitivity, high cholesterol, or high triglycerides."
—Trisha Ochoa, CHN, Santa Monica, CA
"StressArrest is one of my favorite products. I work with many perimenopausal and menopausal women dealing with ongoing daily stressors and responsibilities. StressArrest just helps them take the edge off and reduce their anxiety. Also, it has proven very effective for increasing relaxation and turning off the mind at bedtime. I recommend it often."
—Monika Klein, BS, CN, Clinical Nutritionist / Lifestyle Coach,
Agoura Hills, CA
"The Magnesium Glycinate Capsules are an excellent way to deal with insomnia. I have the patients take 2-3 caps at night and it provides a more restful and uninterrupted sleep."
—Michael Galitzer, MD, Los Angeles, CA
"I personally really like ArthroSoothe caps. I take them before and after my weight training sessions. My joints, especially fingers, wrists, and other joints, are less sore after intense training. It keeps me going."
—Karlis Ullis, MD, Santa Monica, CA
"I just wanted to express how much I love the Metabolic Synergy formula. I recently started taking it and have noticed quite a difference in my energy levels. I feel much more balanced with my blood sugar levels than I have in the past. Also, I have a very sensitive system and these vitamins are very gentle on my stomach. I'm excited to have this product in my life and I've introduced it to many of my clients."
—Marlyn Diaz, Nutritionist, Encino, CA
"We used OsteoForce and Vitamin D Synergy in a 61 year old postmenopausal woman, not on hormonal replacement therapy, and her bone density scores went from "osteopenic" to "normal" in 6 months."
—Jeanne Peters, RD, Nutritionist and Alan Peters, MD
Redondo Beach, CA
"PaleoFiber is a great supplement and tastes good too! I highly recommend it to my clients at our medically supervised clinic as a fantastic way to add more fiber to their diets! I have personally seen incredible changes in clients who experienced digestion problems and are now quite pleased with the lack of bloating, ill-feeling, and constipation.
PaleoMeal-DF is a lifesaver for me, whether it is used as a meal replacement or an in-between snack during my hectic schedule; it has a high and healthy satiation factor and tastes great even with water alone.
PaleoBars go with me wherever I go! They are definitely the best bars available for the health conscious individual, and they taste fantastic! They are a best seller at our facility where we continue to get great feedback from our patients and clients. It's an added bonus that they come dairy-free as well!"
—L.M. Hoffmann, CPT, Private Trainer, Palos Verdes Estates, CA
"A client came to me with a terrible leaky gut. Upon the recommendation of her naturopath, she had been taking a colon cleanse supplement containing cascara segrada, aloes, etc. — every day for 9 years! I inquired with the teachers at the California School of Herbal Studies regarding the best way to get her off this product, and they all said that she would have to be weaned off of it and her bowel retrained, because of the anthroquinones in the product. They estimated that this process could take a full year. Instead, I started her on PaleoFiber, gradually increasing her dose. She is now on the full suggested dose, absolutely loves the product, and has almost completely weaned herself off the colon cleanse product! I'm happy to report that she is having a couple good bowel movements per day. Amazingly, this was accomplished in just 3 weeks!
Given the fact that you are going to talk about the best Designs for Health products during today's Nutrient Roundtable teleconference, I thought you might appreciate this story. Thank you for PaleoFiber!!!"
—Sarah Bearden, DN Med, MS, CN, Kentfield, CA
"I wanted to write to you about the success I have had prescribing ArthroSoothe. A patient of mine went to see the orthopedist, who went so far as to write in his office note that nothing would help the patient short of total knee arthroplasty, and she shouldn't bother having any x-rays, MRIs, OR ANY OTHER TEST THAT MIGHT BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE NEXT FIFTEEN YEARS! She started ArthroSoothe at half of the recommended dose — two tabs daily, and was pain free in one week.
Another patient and friend of mine started ArthroSoothe after having bilateral total knee replacements. Her symptoms were significantly improved by surgery, but she still had significant pain, difficulty getting out of her car, going up stairs, etc. About a month after starting the ArthroSoothe, she went to France, and on her return she told me she visited a castle there. The castle had 282 steps, and she was able to walk up and down without difficulty, and she remained asymptomatic the next day!
Not all of my patients' successes are as dramatic, but overall the large majority who have used ArthroSoothe have been very pleased. Thanks for making my job easier."
—Ardis Fisch, MD, Lennox, MA
