| Results of the online 12-Day McDougall Program have been more successful than those seen with our 18 years at our California-based residential program. With the online program, we are spending much more time with our patients, having more engagement with each other, and participants are learning and cooking from the comfort of their homes. It’s making a big difference. Our experience is extensive, with more than 12,000 participants over the past 44 years, so we know what you can expect. The top 10 benefits of participating in the 12-Day McDougall Program: Relief of chronic fatigue is experienced by 80% of participants. (An important finding from the Oregon Health & Science University study of the McDougall Program.) An average weight loss of more than 4 pounds (1.5 kg) in 12 days; as published in the Nutrition Journal. Relief of intestinal distress from indigestion to constipation to chronic diarrhea. More than a 22 mg/dL (0.6 IU) reduction in cholesterol. A 90% chance of reducing or stopping unnecessary medications (especially those for high blood pressure and diabetes). Relief of chest pain (angina) in most people with narrowed heart arteries (atherosclerosis). Lessening and elimination of swelling and pain from inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid and other types). Lower blood sugar and relief of peripheral neuropathy (pain in legs and feet). Almost all people with type-2 diabetics are cured of their diseases after achieving ideal body weight. Improved complexion with the reduction in oily skin and hair. Your improved appearance is best described as “looking years younger” and “being in the pink.” Professional medical guidance from McDougall-trained physicians; which can be continued even after you leave us and you return to your local medical care. Of course, benefits continue over the weeks, months and years that follow your time with us. Most people tell us (within a time shorter than a summer vacation) that they feel better than they have in years and life looks optimistic for a change. We commonly hear “Why did I wait so long? I should have made the change years ago.” Don’t hesitate to sign up while spots are available. Tell your friends and family members, too - everyone deserves to feel great.
