out of my mouth. After 8 days I was down to 11 cigarettes, and then I spooked. I really did not want to let them go, so I stopped listening. I stayed with my 11 a day for years after, but I never enjoyed them. They had become a burden. So I dug out the program again,

and within 6 weeks it was over.

I have since recommended your programs to some people

and purchased some myself for those who I really believed would

benefit from them but might not really go all the way to purchase

them. One friend became a better bowler. A family member became

pregnant after years of fertility issues.

One more thing—
Power Imaging
—hopefully we can get more

of them in the future? I purchased the
Optimal Weight Loss
and lost 10 pounds. When I put it on, it was so soothing I did not want it to end. Thank you, Eldon Taylor, for your brilliance. And thank you,

Ravinder, for your patience and kindness.
