"By far the best - very clean and easy to understand! Good work!   -Hal Bieler, regarding chapter in first book.

 

"Dear Marian:
I have a delicious success letter for you. My 12 year old son has had a chronic skin problem. He has had dry skin so badly that his skin cracked. Nothing helped. After a month his skin which looked 90 years old, now looks like a normal 12 year olds. He has also been accused, rightly so, of being hyperactive. Since being on the diet he has slowed down considerably and the hyperactivity is under control."
-Bonnie List, Santa Monica

"Dear Marian,
I like you. I love you very very much for that banana bread and that apple pie very much. Why did you give us that banana bread when we're not even supposed to have bananas? I love you very, very, very, very, very, very much. "
-Phoebe, age 4

"Dear Marian,
Phoebe and I love to play with that police car. I want you to know that we loved the apple pie and the banana bread. Boy! It's been nice since we met and had a nice time together."
- Jake, age 10

"Dear Marian,
From living with constant headaches since I was 17 ALL THE TIME, I have not had one headache AT ALL! You talk about happy, this is it! And the side benefits are that my skin which has had whiteheads since I was 20, is cleared up, much better texture, my hair is not dry and frizzy, and my fingernails are really strong. Thanks, Marian!"
-Patte Monaco, The Bankers Life

"Marian dear....You are loved."
-Joanne

"I wanted to tell you that last week I had a complete physical examination by my doctor. His report was that my lungs are clear, EKG good, blood pressure normal and no cholesterol. So I am sure the diet is working for me. My heart enlargement has gone down to normal, and the only thing is scar tissue of my previous heart attacks. I am very pleased with the results."
-Katie Hossack

Your helping the Scientologists in your area with their diet is very much appreciated. I am aware of the vital nature of this field."
-L. Ron Hubbard

"I don't feel the need to rest so often now but am always ready for bed at an early hour at evening. Sleep well and wake up wonderfully rested. And by the way, I have lost a total of 18 pounds. I am certainly pleased with that."
