Testimonial from Dr. Theresa Ford
So we are extremely excited about offering to our patients a new option for improving their nutritional status. We are now recommending Mila to our patients as a nutritional source. For years we have recommended Flaxseed and Omega-3’s to our patients to supplement their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory regimens hoping for optimal absorption and bioavailabaility. We finally go that with Mila.
The ancient Aztecs used Salvia hispanica L medicinally to relieve joint pain and skin conditions. This had a natural attraction to us in the field of Rheumatology, supporting our efforts to incorporate non-pharmacological measures in our treatment regimens.
I recommended Mila to a patient who has a disorder know as Sarcoidosis, which is a multi-systemic inflammatory disorder. In her case it manifests with joint and lung involvement. She also has Hypertension and Hyperlipidemia. She is on multiple medications included Prednisone. So when her Cardiologist recommended additional medications to lower her Cholesterol level she determined to become more proactive in her healthcare. She began a spreadsheet charting her Lipid levels between April and July of this year. She started using Mila in July 2009 and had completed 4 weeks of daily doses at time of her last Lipid profile. Her chart looked like this (Normal values):
| Lipid Profile | 4/02/09 | 7/28/09 | Points Decreased |
| Total Cholesterol (<200) | 225 | 212 | 13 |
| Triglycerides (0-149) | 71 | 53 | 18 |
| HDL (good Chol >60) | 56 | 81 | 29 |
| LDL (bad Chol <100) | 155 | 116 | 39 |
I verified her results with the laboratory and needless to say we were both excited. Her Cardiologist told her to keep doing what she was doing and did not increase her medications.
We are well aware of the importance of not only treating illness and disease but the imperative necessity of prevention. Our diets hold a major key to this intervention. We feel that we have an obligation to be aware of our patients’ nutritional as well as pharmacological intake and to ensure the proper combinations. We look forward to working with our colleagues toward this effort.

Testimonial from Dr. Robert Ford
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!

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.

Testimonial from Dr. Jamey Hanley
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. Sam Gershenbaum
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
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 Tina Mulhern
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 Dr. Ming Wu
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 Pamela Schwarz
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. Stacey Levin
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.
