'ANTHONY"
AND GHR15 - A CASE STUDY
GHR
Canada approached Ottawa freelance writer, Patrick MacAdam, to acquaint
him with GHR 15. He was provided audio tapes of radio interviews and
copies of all existing literature on GHR 15. He then asked if it might
be possible for him to be put in touch with a user to monitor his
or her experience.
Mr.
MacAdam made no promises. He is under no obligation to GHR Canada.
The only commitment he made was that he would faithfully record and
write a daily diary and allow GHR Canada to reprint it. GHR Canada
has no financial obligations to Mr. MacAdam.
GHR
Canada , Ottawa, linked Mr. MacAdam up with "Anthony" (not
his real name) who was about to begin a GHR 15 program.
What
follows is Mr. MacAdam's diary (un-edited) which will be up-dated
daily.
"ANTHONY
"Anthony" is 65, semi-retired and going through a phase
in life he finds uncomfortable. He suffers from anxiety, stress and
tension, mild depression, lack of energy, leans to procrastination
and his nightly sleep is "broken" sleep.
His
family doctor prescribed an anti-depressant which helped a little.
He also tried acupuncture and massage and, while there was immediate
relief, it was not long lasting.
He
decided to try GHR15. He is taking the compound five consecutive nights
and stopping the next two nights. The cycle is repeated each week.
He was agreed to share his experience with me. Neither of us knows
where this treatment will lead but we do know GHR15 is made from all-natural
ingredients and that it is harmless to health and non-addictive
DAY
ONE, SEPTEMBER 28, 1999
I watched "Anthony" dissolve two scoops of GHR in 3-4 ounces
of water. The powder is water soluble and there are no dregs. "Anthony"
pronounced it pleasant tasting. As instructed, he put the opened container
in his fridge.
DAY
TWO, SEPTEMBER 29, 1999
We spoke by phone and 9.20 a.m. and "Anthony" told me he
still had restless, broken sleep last night. He said "one swallow
doesn't make a Spring" but that he felt somewhat better. He didn't
have the same degree of anxiety ("there didn't seem to
be as many butterflies in my stomach") or the feeling of a tight
steel band around his forehead. He said because his expectations for
GHR are high he is aware there might be a 'placebo effect.' Nevertheless,
he said he hadn't felt this good for many weeks. He also said he didn't
have his regular morning bathroom flatulence.
10.20
p.m. "Anthony" checked in to report he had taken Dose #
2 and still feels "perkier" than he has felt for some time.
DAY
THREE - SEPTEMBER 30
"Anthony" logged in by phone at 9.30 to report he was only
awake once last night. He said he woke up at 2.00 a.m., went to the
bathroom , went back to bed and slept right through till 7.00 a.m.
He said he is beginning to feel like the Police Chief in Casablanca
who told Humphrey Bogart "I think this is the beginning of a
beautiful friendship."
Of
course, "Anthony" was referring to a user friendly relationship
with GHR. He still experiences mild anxiety and says he finds it difficult
to relax, to read a book, to watch TV. "My mind keeps racing
at top speed and I can't totally relax. I will be taking my GHR around
10.30 tonight again. I am supposed to take it on an empty stomach
at bedtime."
DAY
FOUR - OCTOBER 1
"Anthony" says he knows and feels there are subtle changes
happening in his body but he just can not put a finger on them. He
feels better generally but he still has anxiety and tension and cannot
relax fully. His appetite seems better. This morning, instead of his
normal coffee with his newspaper, he had two soft poached eggs on
white toast and "devoured them hungrily." He says he still
has a compulsive urge that everything has to be done right away and
that even a small list of tasks seems like a mountain to him. He told
his family doctor he was taking GHR and he asked "Anthony"
to keep him posted. Anthony was awake only once last night and slept
from 1.00 a.m. straight through to 7.30. "Anthony" had a
check-up at his doctor's office and all his vital signs are A-OK.
He gets the results of his blood tests next week.
DAY
5 - October 2, 1999
"Anthony" reported another good night's sleep - "only
woke up once at 2.00 a.m.
but went right back to bed and slept till 7.00." What woke me
up was a blinding
headache but I got that from MSG in Spring Rolls. Lots of water and
a brisk walk
and it was gone by 9.00. "Anthony" takes Dose # 5 tonight
and skips the next two
days. He says the anxiety and tension are lessening: "Last night
I watched an action movie - Jean Claude Van Damme - for 2 1/2 hours
and, for the longest time
I wasn't fidgety. I watched the whole movie and found my mind was
relaxing, allowing me to escape into the plot without a thousand other
thoughts racing through my brain. It was a welcome feeling.
DAY 6, OCTOBER 3
"Anthony" ended Week One of his GHR "milkshakes"
last night and will skip the next two days before resuming the cycle
again. He said this morning that his wife is noticing positive changes
after only one week His disposition is better, his appetite
has picked up and he is sleeping better. "Anthony" himself
says his wife is considering starting on GHR15 too. After just one
week he had nothing but positive things to say - nothing negative
whatsoever. He says he detects positive signs in his bodily functions,
his thought processes seem clearer and any obsessive-compulsive leanings
he has are dissipating."
ANTHONY
- DAY 7
"Anthony" suggested that "a word with the wife"
might be useful at this point because maybe she sees things I don’t.
Mrs. "Anthony" said that after only one week she notices
changes for the better. He is not as moody, he doesn’t nap as often
during the day, he is more energetic and, slowly, he is beginning
to relax. She said she will start on GHR15 tonight when "Anthony"
resumes his five day cycle. "Anthony" says he feels a lot
better and slept well last night and ate a lumberjack breakfast this
morning.
DAY
8, OCTOBER 6, 1999
"Anthony" and his wife both took GHR last night - she for
the very first time. "Anthony" said he had a busy day, was
tired and went to bed shortly after l0.30 p.m. He slept right through
until 7.00 a.m. - no broken sleep for the first time in years. He
hopes it is a harbinger of things to come because he says he must
have a tremendous sleep deficit. He says "all my other systems
are go" and he feels great.
DAY
9, OCTOBER 7
"Anthony" said this morning that two nights of unbroken
sleep in a row was too much to ask for. However, he only awakened
once at l.00 a.m. but promptly went back to a deep, restful sleep
until 7.30. He said: "I should have told you earlier on that
all my life six hours sleep is enough for me. What is important, even
though I woke up once, is that I arose feeling refreshed ready to
meet the day." He says, "since going on GHR he finds he
has more energy and no wish to sit around "moping and feeling
sorry for myself. Now, I want to get up and at it. I also find when
I sleep I am not plagued by crazy problem solving dreams. I sleep
soundly."
DAY
10
"Anthony’s" wife says that in recent years unfinished chores
or "things to do used to bother him. Now, he seems more serene,
calm and stoic and he does everything without grumbling. I once thought
he was compulsive-obsessive, always nit picking. Now, he’s a pleasure
to be around. I can’t describe in words the turnaround I see in just
under two weeks."
DAY
11, OCTOBER 9, 1999
"Anthony" says he might have slept through the night except
for tree branches slapping against their bedroom window. He awakened
refreshed at 7.30 a.m. and says he seems to be losing some of the
fatigue that has constantly plagued him. His appetite is better. "What
else can I say," he said. Tomorrow night he ends the five day
cycle of Week # 2 and he is optimistically elated with results "even
this early."
DAY
12, OCTOBER 12, 1999
"Anthony" says he feels like "he’s becoming a new man
- reinvigorated, healthier, more alert and more concerned about what
is going on around him - and - he says he thinks it is happening in
Seven League Boots and not by inches. Tonight he takes dose # 10,
completes his second cycle and takes two days off. His wife agrees
with everything he has said: "yesterday was a very errand packed
day and that would normally be stressful for him. He didn’t bat an
eyelash and was a real dear even when we went shopping several places."
DAY
13
"Anthony" is on his two day hiatus from GHR and resumes
his 5-day cycle tomorrow evening. "What can I say that’s new"
he asked. "I feel good all around and the only thing I’ve noticed
I didn’t mention before is that when I wake up in the morning I don’t
have tearing in my eyes and I don’t have to wait 15-20 minutes for
them to focus. Hopefully, this will be a long lasting side effect
and a welcome one."
DAY
14 - OCTOBER 12, 1999
"Anthony’s" wife says he was a "whirling dervish yesterday"
and "it’s great to see him regaining his old form. We had the
tribe in for a traditional Canadian Thanksgiving turkey dinner and
he did most of it.
He stuffed the bird with his great oyster stuffing, peeled the carrots,
turnips and potatoes and roasted and carved the turkey. Then he washed
all the dishes and all the pots and pans and put them away. All I
had to do was bake two pumpkin pies. It’s wonderful to see him coming
back."
DAY
15, OCTOBER 13, 1999
"Anthony" said this morning: "what else can I tell
you? I’m running out of spit trying to find something new to say.
All systems are GO. I am A-OK and I am getting more and more A-OK
every passing day. Everything is positive but I guess that’s the way
it is supposed to be, isn’t it? GHR15 has my vote."
ANTHONY
- DAY 16, OCTOBER 14, 1999
"Anthony" joked this morning that his wife told him "now
don’t you get carried away and think you can leap tall buildings in
a single bound." He sounds really "up" and it
is obvious from his voice over the phone. He is an intensely private
person but he did say it was OK to write that GHR has also improved
conjugal relations which had been on the wane
DAY
17, OCTOBER 15, 1999
"Anthony" says he’s feeling so good he wishes he could bottle
the feeling and sell it on the market. "It’s like being reborn
without the aid of mind altering chemicals like tranquilizers and
anti-depressants. The real bonus of GHR is that I am ingesting only
natural compounds." His voice sounds much stronger and
confident booming over the telephone line.
. Since
this file is getting pretty lengthy we are going to start to update
weekly
GHR Canada
"Week
3 Oct. 28"
"Anthony"
starts his fourth five day cycle tonight and he has levelled off but
"not to worry, I’m where I want to be, I’m back to my old self
and I feel great mentally and physically". He says he hasn’t
experienced even a "scintilla" of an anxiety attack in some
time, he is eating and sleeping "like I used to". He says
he doesn’t know the meaning of the word procrastinate anymore and
"there aren’t enough hours in a day for me to accomplish what
I want to do. I don’t waste time watching mindless TV and I don’t
sit like a couch potato feeling sorry for myself". His wife concurs
with everything he says.
"Anthony"
says he has reached that point in his GHR15 program that he has stopped
counting days and weeks. His five day cycles are routine now and he
says he hasn’t felt this good and this productive in years. He says
life is more meaningful to him and his relationship with his wife
is as if they were newlyweds again. "What else can I say? I don’t
want to be repetitive."
