I suffered from diabetes for 7 years. I am 165 cm tall and weigh almost 130 kg.
I also suffered from high blood pressure. I started on Optimal Nutrition seven weeks ago. My blood glucose levels were up to 18 mmol with medications. Now, I have
a normal range 5.5 to 7.5 WITHOUT any medications. After the first week I reduced my diabetes tablets from 6 to 3 per day. After 3 weeks I stopped taking them all together. Today i.e. 30.08.2001 after seven weeks of Optimal Nutrition I take only half a tablet to control my blood pressure and I have lost 15kg of my weight and ... I keep loosing weight further. My life is getting back to normal !
I also noticed that being on the Diet I am never hungry, I eat less and the food is fantastic! I have plenty of energy. My doctor cannot explain this in any way. Now he is interested in learning more about the Optimal Nutrition.

I used to take insulin injections for 21 years. My visits to the diabetic clinics in Sydney were pretty boring as they were following the same pattern ending with another prescription for insulin. After reading dr Kwasniewski's book I started all my family on the Optimal Nutrition. Within one week I stopped taking insulin. Initially my keton bodies were elevated. It has been now two years since my last injection and I cannot express my gratitude strong enough to dr Kwasniewski. I passed the information on to other diabetics who also enjoy similar improvements.

I belong to a to a group of people who were seriously mistreated by a medicine,
both in Poland and in Australia. From an early childhood I have been suffering
from a complex heart defect acquired as a result of a throat infection and subsequent rheumatoid disease. I arrived in Australia with my sick heart as an adult. Later, I developed asthma following a severe pneumonia. As a result of above "normal" cholesterol level (6.4 mmol), in January 1999 I started a cholesterol-reducing diet. After a month or so, the cholesterol level fell slightly (5.9 mmol but the level of triglycerides had increased to 3.3 mmol. I decided to abandon the diet; I could not continue working in my two jobs whilst on it.

The condition of my heart deteriorated progressively regardless of treatment I suffered from frequent bouts of colds and influenza. The frequency of asthma attacks also increased. At the same time I had spells of dizziness combined with vision disturbances, profuse sweating and vomiting - all caused by the heart medication as recently admitted by my cardiologist.

In recent times, my heart, having already three damaged valves, increased in size dangerously. After 2 months on the optimal nutrition, being 7 kg lighter in weight, and having a normal blood pressure and pulse, I visited my specialist. The cardiologist could not believe that my heart had decreased in size so markedly compared with its size last year.

He asked me curiously what I had been doing in order to accomplish such an improvement in my health. He told me that he had never come across a patient whose enlarged heart had reduced in size as much as mine had. I did not explain, stating that it was not the right time for it. Also, I did not inform him that my asthma was also gone. Recent blood tests have shown that my total cholesterol level had increased slightly but the level of triglycerides had fallen to 1.1 mmol.

My mother had had rheumatoid arthritis for 38 years, and for 12 years had simply lain in bed and been unable to stand. After two weeks on the diet her fixed joints and toes began to move and for the first time in many years she was able to stand on her own legs. My husbands feet became warm again, he has stopped limping and enjoys life afresh. In general, my whole family are far fitter and we are delighted

Doctor, you have become a new star in my life. A life full of physical and psychological pain from that terrible Buerger's Disease. You arrived at a time of despair and hopelessness to improve my health, when I seemed to have no chance of saving my second leg from amputation.

After two weeks on the Optimal Nutrition I stopped taking pain killing and sedative drugs. At last I could sleep all night. How wonderful sleep is can only be understood by one who has for many years been kept awake by unbearable pain. About one month after I started the diet the wound from my foot amputation began to heal for the first time since the operation in 1984.

In December 1987 I came to Arkadia for medical treatment. This confirmed my conviction that your methods deliver concrete results in the cure of Buerger's Disease, because my health improved considerably. Pain in my legs from walking disappeared almost completely so that half an hour's exercise brought no trouble. I am leaving your Health Academy with every hope that now I will be fit.

Thank you; it is so wonderful that you opened this Academy and have now cured me and many others in need. My thanks to your extraordinary staff who give hope and joy to all sick people. I am asking all who are on the verge of a breakdown, if they are doubtful of Dr Jan Kwasniewski's methods, to believe in him as I did.

In January 1987 I experienced sudden pain in my leg. The pain was so terrible that I could only take a few steps. A vascular surgeon referred me to hospital, where for three months I received intravenous drips of lignocain and Sadamin without any improvement. At last, doctors decided to amputate my leg, and I agreed because I had not seen any benefit from the medicine. I could not sleep at night, the pain was so unbearable.

Shortly before the operation my wife told me that she had seen on the TV programme "Play for a Million" a doctor who could cure arteriosclerosis. I asked the head of the ward for leave and immediately contacted Dr Kwasniewski who agreed to my coming to Ciechocinek. After examination he put me on the Optimal diet. From the beginning I was very skeptical about the diet but after one month on it I noticed good results, the pain disappeared and I could sleep at night.

After two months I was walking. But because I felt so well I started to eat bread, potatoes and the disease returned. I broke down and stopped believing in anything, I was convinced that there was no help for me. Unexpectedly I received a letter from Dr Kwasniewski that from 2 November, 1987 he was opening his private practice. On seeing him I told him that everything had been so good but suddenly the disease had returned. The doctor told me that I had not kept to the diet. Unfortunately it was true! One week later I felt so well that I travelled to Torun by rail and the rest of the way on a bicycle. After finishing my treatment on 14 November, 1987 I started work again on 23 November, 1987, which I could not even dream about before. Doctor Kwasniewski is HEALTH.

I came to Arkadia with asthma which I have had for 21 years. Thanks to Doctor Kwasniewski after 3 days I stopped all medication which I have never done before.
At present I smoke many cigarettes and asthma does not give me any problem. Pain has disappeared from my legs and spine. I thank Dr Kwasniewski for this and I am very happy and convinced that I will have no more trouble with this sickness with which is so difficult to live. From a grateful patient.

I am 35 years old. I have multiple sclerosis. Treatment by an outstanding specialist did not give the expected results. As my health worsened I could only drag my right leg and to take a step was not possible. I came to Arkadia on 2 February, 1988 as my last chance of recovery because of the passive medical attitude.

Dr Jan Kwasniewski greeted me very cordially and assured me that the progress of the illness would be stopped, and further treatment at home would bring improvement. What a nice surprise when after 6 days I noticed the first symptoms of improvement. With my leg which I could only drag I could now take a few normal steps. As the days went by my improvement continued and now I can raise my leg enough to place my foot on a window sill. This is after only 10 days of treatment. It is pity that Dr Kwasniewsk's reputation is not more widespread. He is a hero of the twentieth century.

I have pelvic arteriosclerosis. Arteriography has shown an aortic occlusion at the level of the fourth lumbar disk. I could only walk about 150 metres when acute muscle pain would make me stop and rest. The only solution was an operation to graft the arteries of both legs. Without operation the life of such man is not long B about 2 years.

This was sentence I have received in Koszalin Hospital and I had similar opinions at Wroclaw Clinic and Szczecin Clinic. But at Ciechocinek after four days I had the courage to walk to the centre of the city. What a joy! Although walking slowly I did not have to rest. It is a pity that few only can benefit from the treatment in Ciechocinek. How much pain, tears and bitterness could be saved. The word "thank you" cannot express what I feel for you, Doctor and your personnel. Our language does not have sufficient words. How few can help so many!!!

Born again!I have had chronic coronary disease for a few years. In 1994 I went to hospital where I made some progress and was prescribed some pills and told that I should not undergo any physical strain. In 1995 I went to hospital in May and in June but my health still deteriorated. In September 1995 I came to Doctor Kwasniewski to Ciechocinek with all my laboratory and hospital results.

Dr Kwasniewski said that he could help if I would use the Optimal Nutrition. Cardiologists from the Specialist Clinic in Lodz sent me to the Central Hospital in Warsaw for angiography but my condition became worse. I then began using the Optimal Nutrition and prescribed pills. Dr Kwasniewski maintained that after 3 months on Optimal Nutrition the pain should cease and I could omit the pills.

In April 1996 I again had an appointment for angiography but the situation became better so it was no longer needed. In May 1996 the pain vanished completely, I stopped all pills and I feel well. I can walk and I can do all my work without any pain. I am still going to the Cardiology Clinic in Lodz, where the doctors are very happy that my health improved. However they do not know the cause of my improvement but think that the pills helped. I am very thankful to Dr. Kwasniewski. Thanks to him I was born a second time. I am willing to help with all the information about my disease. My wife has been treated for hypertension for 8 years. She had a haemorrhage caused by hypertension. She was in hospital for one month in 1990. She was better after hospital but 5 months later again had headache and further treatment in the outpatient clinic. Taking pills gave pain relief for a short time but the pain returned again. When my wife started using Optimal Nutrition she had radical improvement in her hypertension. Her weight dropped 4 kg in a month and 8 kg after two months. We can help with any questions.

I am 85 years old. I spent 13 days in the Health Academy. I have regained strength

I am 34 years old. The first symptoms of my multiple sclerosis appeared 10 years ago. I developed double vision, weakness of my legs and right hand, and speech abnormalities. I have been treated twice in hospital and by herbalists. I also took microelements. None of this has stopped the progress of my disease.

The Optimal Nutrition recommended by Dr. Kwasniewski has improved my health. My legs have became stronger and now I can walk longer distances. My speech is normal. My general health has improved and my hand is now all right. I have lost 3 kg in weight during my stay here. I am leaving "Arkadia" full of hope that by using the Optimal Nutrition the improvement in my health will continue. I thank Dr. Kwasniewski and his personnel my renewed health.

In a few words I would like to describe the progress of my treatment. About the middle of May last year I suffered a very rapid deterioration of Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans). The necrosis of my finger tips started spreading from my left hand to my right. My surgeon on every visit suggested that I stay in hospital for amputation of my dead fingers.

In December additionally my right big toe became necrotic and its amputation was advised. I never believed that I could be cured but it turned out I was wrong. Today, after 12 days of treatment I feel wonderful. The pulse returned, wounds have begun healing, and best of all I do not have to go to hospital. I heartily thank Dr Kwasniewski and his staff for their efficiency and patience in my treatment.
