"Hello,
I have been doing the Oxycise! Level 1 for nearly two years now. I recently ordered the Level 2 and mentioned my success with the Oxycise! program to the kind woman at your Colorado office. I'm afraid I didn't catch her name. But she encouraged me to contact you and share my story.

"I am a 49 year old male with Systemic Lupus. It struck me when I turned 40. I'll spare you the long story, but it changed my life drastically. In fact, it nearly killed me before the doctors were able to come up with a diagnosis and thus treat the disease. For years I languished under heavy medication, particularly steroids. If you know about steroids you probably know that they have a bloating effect and increase the appetite. And the symptoms of lupus include arthritis so any kind of exercise was pretty much out of the question. Needless to say, I got huge. My bone density decreased. I was terribly fatigued. Cholesterol and blood pressure increased to the point where I had to take extra meds to keep them in check. I was a slave to dozens of pills a day.

"I had done some breathwork in the past and was a believer in Yoga. But not an avid practitioner. When I saw an ad for Oxycise!, I thought it made sense and I'd give it a try. After a week or two I noticed a slight drop in weight. After a month, I knew I was on to something. I kept up with it daily and it became such a joy to watch the pounds drop. It was only about 3lbs. a month, but I knew that a slow loss could mean a slow regain if I for some reason would stop. I lost 35 lbs. last year. I look like a different person. My blood pressure plummeted which I consider a direct result of Oxycise! I'm no longer on BP meds. My cholesterol also dropped significantly, whether it had to do with Oxycise! I'm not sure, but the loss of weight probably helped. That plus a newfound conscientiousness about overall health, such as eating better. My energy level has increased. Just doing the Oxycise! is uplifting. I still have lupus and its symptoms, am still on several drugs - there's no cure for that I'm afraid. But what Oxycise! has done for me could help other lupus patients.

"I would like to the spread the word about Oxycise! in the Lupus community ... Please pass this along to whom it may concern. I'm anxious to receive my level two video. I got an e-mail that it is on its way. Also, thank you for putting on the newsletter list. I wish I'd known about it in the past."

All my best,

High blood pressure, panic attacks, high blood sugar, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, depression

Subject: Oxycise! has truly been a blessing to me

"Dear Jill,
I have been Oxycising for 8 weeks now.  I cannot begin to tell you the wonderful changes that I have seen in my body. In February, I was at an all time low. My blood pressure was skyrocketing, I was severely overweight, suffering panic attacks, high blood sugar levels, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and a host of other physical ailments. I constantly ached all over and was severely depressed...

"...I stumbled across Oxycise! on the web. I ordered your program right away and have been faithfully Oxycising and BodyFlexing. I love both programs although I find Oxycise! a little more suitable to my hectic life.

"I have lost 29 pounds and 34 inches. I have lost nine inches off of my hips alone. When I measured myself on 6/13, I started to cry. In just a couple of months, my health and appearance has improved dramatically. Not only have I lost weight and inches, but my blood pressure is excellent. I had to stop taking my high blood pressure medication due to the low readings. I am no longer depressed, and my face is so toned and firm. Everyone says I have a glow that is out of this world. By the way, I only measure my upper abs, waist, lower abs, hips, and one thigh. I have also lost inches in my arms and calves. All of this in less than 2 months. Thanks Jill for Oxycise!"

Yours Truly,

Arthritis, Hypothyroidisnm

"The program is wonderful- I have lost 13 pounds and 25" in about 8 weeks, which with my metabolism is wonderful!!!!! I have done food combining for about 4 of those weeks and of course that seems to aid the progress.

"I take a medication for rheumatic arthritis and another one hypothyroidism- the medication for arthritis is called an anti-metabolite so it definitely slows down progress on the weight loss."

High blood pressure, stress, PMS, back pain, depression

"...When I first saw the infomercial for Oxycise!, I was very skeptical. At the time I weighed about 250 pounds. In my life, I've tried everything to lose weight. I've done weight watchers, physician's weight loss, carbohydrate addicts diet, Atkins, Slimfast. You name a diet, I've probably been on it. I've also done about every type of exercise program as well, from aerobics, to weight training, to Tae-bo. But my results were always very slow or non-existent. I can't tell you how many fat grams, carbohydrates and calories I've counted in my life. So when I saw Oxycise!, I never believed I could lose weight that way. I ordered it only because I thought that, being a professional opera singer, it could help increase my lung capacity. That was seventeen months ago. I started the program without changing my eating habits at all. Since that time, I've lost over 80 pounds. With no change in my diet, I was consistently losing about a pound a week. No other diet or exercise program ever did that for me. In fact, most of the other programs I tried actually helped to beat into my head that I was a failure and that I would always be fat. So no one can ever tell me that Oxycise! doesn't work because I AM losing weight. And now I can actually say that I love myself. No other diet or exercise program has ever done that. This has been the only exercise program I've actually been able to stick with...

"I am definitely much healthier and happier now than when I weighed 250 pounds. And the weight loss I've seen has encouraged me to start making more healthy choices in my diet (which I've only started in the past few months). The advice I'd been getting for years from the medical profession did not work for me. As a matter of fact, one doctor wanted me to take phen-phen which could have destroyed my health and possibly even ended my singing career. Oxycise has helped to lower my blood pressure, increase my lung capacity, reduce my stress level, eliminate my PMS, helped end my constant back pain from the excess weight, and eliminate my depression and feelings of hopelessness..."

Spinal fusion, fibromyalgia, seasonal asthma

"Dear Jill,
I want to thank you for developing Oxycise! It is fabulous and has changed my life! I purchased the videotapes last May from QVC and have been faithfully doing it every other day. I have fibromyalgia and a 15-inch steel rod in my back (I had a spinal fusion for scoliosis when I was a teenager) and have not been able to exercise for years. I have tried swimming, walking, and many various videotapes all to no avail. My pain level would always get worse and I'd be set back for weeks. I had seen you on QVC a number of times and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. My physical therapist, who I see once a month, cannot get over the progress I have made and because of that I have made more progress with her than we ever expected! It has really strengthened my abdominal muscles as well as my lower back. I have been able to start walking and my pain level has dropped considerably. Because of the breathing component it has even helped my seasonal asthma! The one week I did miss a few days I really felt a difference in my back pain, so I haven't missed a session since. I have recommended it to a number of my friends and family. The added benefit of weight loss and loss in inches is just an added plus for me--it has helped improve my posture as well. What more can I say?! Thank you so much, I just had to let you know what a difference you have made in my life."

Thread: Other benefits besides weight/inch loss?
Author: Cindy
Subject: many added benefits...

"...at age 46 you start feeling rickety... - kept an added benefits log (along with my meausurement record): Sleep Better; Cellulite & Heart Palpatations GONE; Cholesterol & Triglycerides DOWN; PMS, Circulation, Sinus Congestion, Drowsiness, Skin, Nails, Digestion & Elimination MUCH IMPROVED! Haven't had any colds!! Who'd a THUNK it?"

Diabetes, depression,

"I thought I would let you know how Oxycise! has affected me. I first got your tapes about 4 years ago. When I first received them I did them faithfully for a month and lost about 10 inches. However like many others I let life get in the way of taking 15 minutes for myself.

"Within the 4 years I have become a diabetic, increased my weight, and am on medication for depression. A little over a year ago my sister had a gastric bypass. She went from 340 lbs to 170 within that time. She lives in a different city so I don't see her everyday, but each time I see her she has had more energy and looks great. But even though she has lost a lot of weight, she lacks that firmness that you can get with Oxycise! I decided that I was going to stick with Oxycise! and see what happens throughout the year. I started the first of January trying to Oxycise! daily. I was trying to watch what I was eating but wasn't doing very well.

"One of the ladies where I work had a heart attack right before Christmas, and said her doctor said that it was due to the diabetes. That's when I decided I needed something to really help me make a difference. So I ordered your 'Fuel for Success.' That has helped me tremendously.

"My first 3 days of cleansing was really hard because I had bad caffeine withdrawals. But I feel that this is something I can live with. I'm going on my fourth week of following 'Fuel for Success.' I know I've lost about 10 pounds since I started. I'm not dropping the inches as fast as I did four years ago when I first started. I've lost some inches, but feel that I've lowered by body fat percent, because although my waist and hip measurement didn't seem to go down that much, I was able to get into a pair of slacks that I haven't been able to wear for about 3 months.

"What has really excited me is that I have been able to decrease my insulin by 10 units. My blood sugar is right where it should be in the morning. I am sleeping so much better and think it's due to not eating past 7:00. I noticed that twice when I ate something other than fruit after 7:00 that I didn't fall asleep as fast. I also didn't sleep as good through the night. I feel so much better. My goal is to try and get off a lot of the medicines that I'm on right now by the end of the year. I'll keep you posted throughout the year."

Thank you,

Update:

"I was really excited yesterday because I went and weighed myself (my home scale broke). I have lost 18 lbs. since December. What really shocked me was when I took my measurements for my eight weeks and discovered that I had lost a total of 12-1/2 inches off my body. I had ordered myself Level 4 and the 'Chart Your Success' book with some birthday money I had received. I figured what better gift could I give myself. I really enjoy the level 4 tape and the different muscle groups that I'm working. But what I really liked was how in the 'Chart Your Success' book it keeps track of the reps that you do as opposed to the minutes you do them. I always had a hard time getting a second workout fitted into my schedule. Today I did my level 4 workout this morning and throughout the day when I'd think about it I would add some extra reps. I was surprised to see that I had done 54 reps today (almost a whole 30 more reps)!"

Skin problems, depression, Endometriosis, Neutropenia 

OxyChat Message Room post

"Hi!
 I just wanted to let you know what I've experienced. I can now go out without foundation which is GREAT. I suffered with adult acne for four years which was hard for me because I skipped the acne phase my teenage years. I had scarring from this adult acne. Thank God for Oxycise! I can now go out without makeup and feel proud (no more shame). 

"I also had posted earlier about my depression leaving me. I've suffered from bouts of depression for years but since starting (again) Oxycise! I'm just about drunk with giddiness from doing Oxycise!  I've been crying a whole lot less and am not as moody (the people around me thank God for Oxycise!. :-) 

"My nails are also growing long and strong (the first time in years). I have more energy. I work a four day week - 6:30am to 5:30pm and by 1pm each day I felt like I could crawl up under my desk for a siesta. Now I can make it through the day (I Oxycise! in the morning) and have enough energy to go out with friends at night (after my second round with Oxycise!) 

"I also have suffered with Endometriosis since I was 9. I am now 27. I have been on almost every birth control (hormone) known to man. They make me incredibly nauseous. Thank God I have been able to go off those due to Oxycise!  My periods are now regular for the first time in almost 15 years. :-) 

"Plus, my final benefit (for now) I have Neutropenia (a low white blood cell count) that kept getting worse until I returned to Oxycise!  I was going for weekly rounds of blood work and my blood count kept getting lower and lower. I started back on Oxycise! and in the first week my white blood cell count doubled and kept going up. Needless to say, my doctor was very happy with the results. Okay, time for me to depart. I think I've taken up the whole screen. Keep on keeping on!!!! Oxycise! is the BEST!!!"  :-)
