The Results

We don't just manage symptoms; we witness transformation. Here is what happens when you give the body the environment it needs to heal.

Clinical Outcomes (2025 Cohort Data)

Hypertension Reversal

One patient started with a systolic blood pressure of 158 and ended at 121 in just 7 days. Another dropped from 154 to 100.

Rapid Weight Loss

In a single cohort of 19 patients, the group lost over 100 lbs total in one week. One participant lost 14.2 lbs in 7 days.

Mobility Restoration

April arrived using walking sticks, unable to bend her knee. By the end of the week, she was walking without sticks—even in the rain. A month later, she had lost 30 lbs and abandoned the sticks entirely.

Voices from the Retreat

I feel like a new woman.
Participant, DSC6741

"Last Sunday when I came in, I could barely walk up the stairs... I had to walk up with my poles. After this week, I feel amazing. I feel lighter on my feet. I don't have any pain. I've been off all my medications all week... It's been a life-transforming experience."

My health has been transformed.
Warren & Yamei Ross

"I had an amazing experience... The staff and clinicians were all so kind, caring, supportive and attentive. My health has been transformed in the span of one week! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to improve their health!"

I found hope again.
Participant, DSC6739

"It was a reset. You know, sliding down darkness and coming back to where there's light. It feels really good... Don't do it alone."

The most uplifting week of my life.
Fran D'Agostino

God knew I needed to come here.

Overwhelmed by the effort.
Owen Bucknor

"I can say that throughout my 40 years plus visiting a doctor's office... I am overwhelmed by the effort the whole team offered."
