Testimonial from Dr. Robert Ford
I have to admit that I was a skeptic, like most of my colleagues, when I was presented with yet another “supplement” to aid my treatment of patients and to add to their wellness and preventative medicine programs. However, the potential of a product with high source Omega-3 fatty acids intrigued me. I researched chia over the course of a few months and could find little, if any, fault with the science.
As a busy Family Practitioner, I am presented on a daily basis with patients with GI problems, arthritic complaints, menopausal symptoms, sleep disorders, weight issues, hypertension and elevated cholesterol. The treatment of these conditions are plagued by side effects and high cost. Mila has the potential to treat all of these conditions and more. The future of medicine is effective, low cost treatments with minimal side effects that will benefit preventative medicine programs. I honestly believe that Mila has a place in that future.
Early research has suggested that pregnant women given Omega-3 fatty acids have children with better eye-hand coordination and reach milestones earlier in life. Chia is safe in pregnancy and can be given to children without detrimental effect. Studies in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, attention deficit disorder, hypertension and weight loss are underway.
In addition, I am the medical director of a weight loss clinic and plan on offering Mila to patients as an adjunct to medication. Taken before meals, Mila absorbs 7 to 10 times its volume of liquid and gives a sensation of fullness.
On a personal note, since starting Mila, I find that I have more mental alertness, energy and sleep better. I suffer from chronic insomnia and typically only get 5 to 6 hours of sleep a night. The first week I took Mila, I overslept 3 days and was late to the office! I take Mila one hour prior to lunch and find my appetite significantly diminished with no afternoon hunger pangs.
I recommend Mila to anyone who wants to feel better and am working to get my local medical community on board!
Testimonial from Dr. Jamey Hanley
Like other health professionals, I am frequently approached to represent or endorse various kinds of vitamins and other nutritional supplements or treatments, to which I usually say “no.” When Lifemax came around I was not looking for anything else to do. I was already very busy and not looking to add anything else to my already full plate. However, one thing I have learned over the past 20 years or so is that great opportunities are rare and maybe only come around once every decade. Therefore, I never close my mind to an opportunity but instead I always take a cursory look so I can at least feel good about saying “no.” The leadership at Lifemax combined with the company’s amazing healthy whole raw food, Mila, made it hard for me to say “no.” Consequently, “yes” was the only correct answer.
From a health and wellness perspective, Mila is simply amazing. This healthy whole raw food is quite literally helping so many people that it is becoming a movement in and of itself. As a dentist, I have seen patients exhibiting the signs and symptoms of conditions in their earliest stages. In many cases, significant improvement can be achieved by modifying the diet with Mila. The reason for this is because my extensive training and experience allows me to recognize the oral changes that are often the first sign of systemic illness. As an example, patients with undiagnosed diabetes will often have telltale signs such as “acetone breath.” Vitamin B deficiencies may cause halitosis, burning tongue, cracked lips and sores in the corner of the mouth. I believe that the nutrients in Mila are ideal for everyone and especially those with maladies and conditions such as these. This puts dentists in a unique position, among health care providers, to have a profound impact on our patients early simply by urging them to include Mila in their diet. On a personal level, my father died of complications from diabetes, so I know first hand the impact this disease can have and the importance of diet. It is because of my family history as well as my professional dedication and desire to help others that I recommend Mila all day every day with no reservations.
Testimonial from Dr. Ming Wu
The following is a incident that I would like to offer in support of the benefits of Mila. My friend contacted me to help his daughter who has had eczema for 20 years. His daughter would not take fish oil pills because of the pollutants, or Chinese herbal tea due to taste. I have had a long standing issue with dry skin as well, and have looked for alternatives, with mixed success. With my friend asking for help, I prayed for an alternative solution, a whole food with Omega 3. The following day a client of mine came in and offered me a sample of Mila. I thought this is a miracle. I hadn’t heard of chia seed and that it contained the Omega 3’s we were looking for. I tried Mila for two weeks and noticed that my dry skin disappeared. Then I sent 2 packages to her and within 2 months her condition was remedied.
I am very cautious about endorsing products, I feel that I have a responsibility to my patients to promote things I believe in. The feeling I had regarding Mila was a very positive one. Mila has now become a daily part of my life, one scoop of Mila and one tablespoon of Goji Berries mixed with hot water. This provides me with good nutrition and the vital nutrients that help to keep my body in balance. The wonderful results I have seen have led me to become involved with the company. The Founders are people I have been fortunate to get to know and I respect their caring ways and outstanding character. I now recommend Mila with confidence to many of my patients and have been pleased to see many positive results it has provided for them.
Testimonial from Dr. Mitch Davis
On a personal note, Mila has made significant improvements in my health. I have genetic hypertriglyceridemia, and take 3 medications to control my lipids. However, the best reading for my LDL (”bad cholesterol”) was 120. After 6 weeks using Mila, my LDL was 80, and my HDL (”good cholesterol”) rose from 50 to 65. Both of these are cardioprotective. Despite supplementing with Co-Q 10 while I take statins, I was still having problems with my memory and concentration. Within a short period after starting Mila, I noticed a marked improvement in my mental capacity. In addition, I have an improvement in my overall energy level.
Patient testimonials:
I have had many of my patients report improvement in their acid reflux symptoms, and several patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome have improved while taking Mila. I find Mila useful to improve constipation, and am using Mila for my patients with fatty liver, both to support a weight loss regimen, and because omega-3’s reduce hepatic lipogenesis.
My most dramatic testimonial involves a young woman who has Systemic Lupus Erythematosis, who is Rheumatoid factor positive. She was regularly having severe flare-ups, and associated joint inflammation. These symptoms required her to use 8-10 narcotic based pain medications, as well as non-steroidal anti-inflammatories daily. Her energy levels were very poor; she could no longer exercise and was frequently calling out sick from her work. After using Mila for 2 months, and since that time, her flare-ups are minimal, her pain medication and anti-inflammatory use is markedly reduced. In addition, her hair is growing in thicker, and her energy levels have improved to the point where she is getting to the gym, as well as running again. In her words, “Mila has given me back my life.”
Testimonial from Pamela Schwarz
I am a Neuromuscular Therapist who specializes in the alleviation of chronic pain and the correction of dysfunctional biomechanics. One of the things I do is help people understand how they can improve their health at home so that they can positively affect their healing process. I am constantly researching ways to help my patients and I must say that Mila has been the best discovery!
Personally, I have noticed a huge difference in my own hands, which had a tendency to swell and ache after treating multiple patients in a day. This is no longer the case since I have been using Mila on a regular basis. I also find that I have much more stamina and added energy when I have a Mila shake between patients in the middle of my day. I am thankful to be using Mila everyday for my family, but some of the best results have occurred in some of my patients.
A 66 year-old female who has been being watched for a genetic predisposition to glaucoma over the past 5 years, has seen a reversal in the symptoms of progression toward the disease since she has started taking Mila.
Another of my patients, a 43 year-old female, suffered from inguinal hernia discomfort as a result of chronic constipation. Since incorporating Mila into her regimen, her digestion has improved and she does not experience that symptom anymore.
Another one of my patients underwent surgery for severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) to reattach her esophogeal/stomach juncture. Her doctors were amazed that although she was so thin from months of weight loss, by using Mila for a couple of months “she was healthier nutritionally than most people that come into the hospital for surgery” and therefore did not need a feeding tube when she left the hospital.
A woman called me about her 90-year old father who had begun exhibiting signs of dementia and asked me what to do to help prevent his deterioration. She was thrilled when she called me again because he started exercising without prompting and acted more alert after consistently taking Mila in his morning oatmeal for less than two weeks.
I implore those who have health concerns, and even those who do not, to use Mila as a way to restore the body’s balance to give it a better chance to heal itself, which thereby, possibly reduces the likelihood of acquiring health concerns down the road.
Testimonial from Dr. Sam Gershenbaum
As a board certified plastic surgeon, I am truly blessed to have one of the busiest cosmetic surgery practices in South Florida. My clientele comes not only from Florida, but from across the United States and all over the world. A virtual who’s who, our patient list includes super models and cover girls, playmates, celebrity actors and pro athletes, as well as people like you and me. My success is due in great part to my reputation, and as such, my reputation means everything to me. Over the years, I have been approached countless times to endorse and offer health care products ranging from vitamins and supplements to various antioxidants and juices. Until now, I have never promoted or endorsed any such products. Therefore, it was a very big decision when I decided to endorse Mila and to promote it to my patients, friends and family.
Since incorporating Mila into my practice, I have witnessed the effect that it has had on individuals suffering from constipation, arthritis, ADHD, depression, fibromyalgia, and many types of chronic pain. I have seen acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome symptoms disappear, as well as significant drops in LDL cholesterol in several people. I have one patient who has suffered from debilitating menstrual cramps throughout her entire life and since she began eating Mila, she no longer experiences that pain.
On top of that, I have had countless people tell me that they have far greater energy than they’ve had in years. Many of my patients are professional models who have noticed that their hair and nails grow much faster, stronger and healthier than before.
Besides proving to be one of the most important nutrients for health, studies show that omega-3’s have an incredible impact on healing after surgery. They increase blood supply to healing tissues by improving microcirculation; the greater the blood supply, the better and faster the healing. Also, omega-3’s are a natural anti-inflammatory and they also improve immune function. What can be better for healing after surgery than improved blood supply, reduced inflammation and improved immune function? This is exactly the reason that I want all of my patients on Mila. I have become such a believer in the power of this raw, whole food that I have become the first plastic surgeon to add Mila to my patients’ list of pre-operative and post-operative requirements.
I urge all doctors to keep an open mind regarding Mila and consider recommending it for the benefit of their patients. My family and I take it daily to supplement our health. Mila is truly a super-food and I do believe the healthiest food on the planet. Anyone who is interested in their health and the health of their loved ones should be taking Mila.
Testimonial from Dr. Atul Gupta
Being of Indian descent, I was raised in a household where traditional Western medications were used alongside Eastern medications and natural remedies. My mother would sneak flax seed into our brownies and cookies because she read about health, nutrition, and food sources of natural remedies on a daily basis. As a physician, I am often approached by friends, patients, colleagues and pharmaceutical sales reps to endorse various lotions, potions, juices, vitamins, powders and exercise regimens. When I was introduced to Mila, I was skeptical, but I am always open-minded enough to do my due diligence before saying “no.” I say “no” a lot, and it usually only takes me a few minutes of research to find a reason to do so.
Mila is different. The more I looked, the harder it became to say “no.”
I take Mila daily, as do my parents, wife and children. Since taking Mila, my cholesterol is lower, and further away from getting into any sort of “dangerous” numbers. I work in the Emergency Department where for 18 hours straight, I run from one medical crisis to another. My L3-L4 herniated disc used to bother me at the end of a long shift, but doesn’t anymore. My father has a history of high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Through yoga, meditation, daily exercise and Mila, my father no longer needs his cholesterol and blood pressure medications. My mother has had longstanding back pain as a result of a car accident in the 1980s. There was a time when she could not remain in one position more than 60 minutes, whether it was lying, sitting, or standing. Years later, through yoga, meditation, and Mila, she now volunteers in hospitals, nursing homes, and spends time in her garden every day. My wife noticed an instant improvement in her quality of sleep and her level of energy. As a mother of a 3-year-old and a 4-year-old, not many moms can say they feel energized! My children, by the grace of God, are healthy and happy and because I want them to remain this way I make sure that they take Mila daily.
My friend was hit very hard after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This once vibrant model and active socialite often found that she had to bedridden on some days. When she wasn’t, she needed the assistance of a cane to walk. The progressive muscle weakness and change in her gait affected her back, causing chronic pain. The decreased activity affected her bowel movements, energy, and mood. Mila dramatically improved her pain, energy, mood, and daily routine. As a mother of two young boys, she feels so strongly about what Mila did for her, that she makes sure that her whole family, including the dogs, uses Mila daily.
Another friend with an intestinal disorder called ulcerative colitis has been keeping a “Mila Diary” for me. An active, working mother in her 30s was forced by her condition to endure daily enemas and live with daily pain and bleeding. With the addition of Mila to her diet, she has been able to reduce her medications and no longer has to take enemas on a daily basis.
These are just a few examples of what Mila has done for me and some of the people I care about. I have a list of similar stories including improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, ADHD, acid reflux, sleep, energy, skin, and pain, just to name a few. This list grows daily!
Testimonial from Dr. Stacey Levin
I have been using Mila in my veterinary practice for many of my patients. For example, I have treated several cats with diabetes whose blood sugar has stabilized merely by adding Mila to their diets. I have seen dramatic improvement in many dogs and cats with hot spots, itchy skin and hair loss. Skin, coat and nails have become shinier and healthier. In addition, my patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, such as periodic vomiting and/or hyperactive bowel disease have been stabilized with Mila alone.
At home, my golden retriever is having an easier time getting up and down the stairs than he did pre-Mila, and his nose has turned black again like it was when he was a puppy (don’t worry…this only happens in dogs). Even my toy poodle eats his Mila every day and is as clever as ever.
On the human side, my seventh grade daughter seems to have more focus and attention span and a much improved report card.
My dad, a retired physician who suffered from hypertension, saw his blood pressure go from the mid to high 130s over 85-90 mm Hg on average to a normal 118-122 over 78-82 by using two scoops of Mila daily for the past three months. We are pleased to say that he is no longer a candidate for blood pressure medication and the accompanying side effects.
Mila is truly the healthiest whole raw food on the planet and my pets and family will continue to benefit from its life-giving properties.
Testimonial from Tina Mulhern
As a holistic psychotherapist and life coach, I work with my clients to help them achieve optimal health and well-being on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels as part of my Whole Person Enrichment Program. My experience and training over the past 20 years is vast and I employ a variety of techniques. I am thrilled to include Mila as part of my treatment program as it undoubtedly accelerates my clients’ transformational process on these four levels! The following testimonial from one of my patients is a perfect example of how Mila is assisting her in generating profound and expeditious healing:
Like most people, I’ve been on the ‘treadmill’ for as long as I can remember. By Winter of 2008, my energy was gone and a couple of days before Christmas, while home alone, I fainted, hitting my head on the ceramic tile, thus requiring bed rest. At that time, I was suffering from significant depression with symptoms ranging from very low energy, low self-esteem, high levels of anxiety, loss of all hope and joy, and increased mood swings. My psychotherapist, as part of the treatment regimen, gave me the gift of Mila. My joy and hope came back within days. I felt alive once more and my energy levels increased impressively. I was in awe at the speed of this change.
I have been taking Mila now for almost six months every day. It is a basic part of my diet and my husband’s. Along with my mind-body work with my therapist, Mila has helped me not only with depression and to renew my energy levels, but it has also with other ailments. For seasonal allergies I don’t need to use my inhalers at all, and my antihistamine intake is reduced by at least two thirds. I can now eat fruits that I was allergic to, because the inflammation is under control. The scars on my skin (including the ones from acne) are disappearing. I’m very happy to start seeing my real face as an adult. My mental clarity is much better, and the improvement in my digestive health helped me lose the last 5 pounds to reach my pre-pregnancy weight.
Thank you to everyone in Lifemax for bringing this gift of health into my life. My prayers have been heard and answered and for this I am eternally grateful!
Testimonial from Edwige Gilbert
As a specialist in stress management programs, I see a lot of clients affected by unhealthy eating habits, unproductive behaviors, and struggling with their weight.
Recommending Mila has been a blessing. Within a week my clients report diminished sugar cravings and feeling more in control of their eating in addition to experiencing more energy and a positive attitude.
I have always believed in the power of the Omega 3’s, but Mila goes beyond that. It supplies the body with complete nutritional balance and is very useful for people who refuse to take vitamins, young and old.
I have also been taking Mila for the last 6 months and cannot do without it. I feel stronger, more focused and ready to conquer the world.
