I used to be afraid to start up a conversation. Then I did the Success through Communication Course and now I can start conversations, continue them, and end them with complete confidence. Before the course, people had a hard time understanding me and I’d have to repeat myself often. It’s all different now because I can communicate and get my point across.”

– G.T.
Success Through Communication

I feel like I have improved in my communication skills. I can actually stay still as I’m talking to someone. I don’t get nervous. Good communication skills make a difference and can change a person’s life. I will apply everything I learned on this course. And the more I use my new skills, the more I will improve my life through communication!”

– D.K.
Success Through Communication

“I have learned that communication is a great tool that I can use for business, for my daily life and to be successful with others. Communication is a must for everyone who wants to succeed in life. I also learned how to start and finish conversations with strangers. I recommend everyone take this course—for their own good as well as for the good of others. We could have a more harmonious world if they did so.”

– Z.V.
Success Through Communication

The SRD changed my life in so many ways! I see my environment, I can make fast decisions about what’s going on in my environment. I can listen to my friends and family without other thoughts distracting me. I became a beautiful listener again on this course. I am delighted with my partner’s successes as well. I understand present time in a way I never have before. Thank you Mick, Alina and Ben, you made our progress through the SRD possible.

– H.W.
Survival Rundown

There are things that I am no longer afraid of or am not bothered by. I can deal with people in a much better way. I do not get upset over things that I used to. I have come a very long way over a very long road. Thank you to everyone who pushed me to get to the end. This is truly a victory for me. I have been waiting and trying for a very long time.

Survival Rundown

I just finished the Purification Rundown. It was a great action. I definitely noticed how toxins came out of my body and how they had affected me. Before the Purif I had some allergic reaction to something that affected my ability to study and work. I went to several doctors and even got a steroid shot and later Vitamin C IVs, but none totally handled the issue. But the Purif did. My skin totally improved as well as my ability to work and think. I can now continue without my body distracting me or affecting me negatively. I definitely recommend doing the Purif – it will clean out your body of all the toxins, chemicals and drugs that hold you back. I can now also study again without my body distracting me or giving me a problem.

– P.B.
Purification Rundown

Purification Rundown

“My wins on this program hit me as early as day 1!!! I was reading the book in the sauna and realized that we ALL have drugs in out bodies. Further, it doesn’t even really matter if the person had the intention of doing them or not. The drugs were still there! Prior to this program I always felt a little upset by people who had done drugs. But after reading this in the book I don’t get caught up in that because the solution and correct thought is we need to get the drugs and toxins out!!! I also had a really interesting manifestation of a shot I had got on my shoulder a few months ago. I experienced the same sensation in the same spot!!! I didn’t believe it!!! Another very interesting occurence on the program was big amounts of exhaustion from the niacin. I was sleeping 10-11 hours a night. I’ve never had to sleep so much. And then right
before completing the program the tiredness and exhaustion suddenly dispersed and I was able to easily and clearly and calmly wake up. Mid program it was practically impossible for me to get up and then Bam!!! That was all gone!”

“My responsibility, understanding and affinity for children went through the roof.
