THE LIFE CHANGE PROGRAM
Hippocrates: The Definition
Good health is the most valuable asset we can ever have. It generates positive qualities like confidence, enthusiasm, vigor, and joyfulness — qualities that enable us to achieve the life we desire.
Yet, we all know that good health does not just happen. Like all things of great value, it needs to be tended, nurtured, and cultivated with care. This process can be both confusing and intimidating — especially to those who rely solely on hearsay and public information.
Hippocrates Health Institute was created some decades ago in response to this need. Over the years, we have developed the Life Change Program into the definitive blueprint for transitioning to a healthier lifestyle. Hippocrates' commitment paved the way to numerous discoveries in health enhancement and in the development of natural revitalization techniques, creating a successful model for modern, complementary health care.
Today, the center flourishes in a lush tropical 40-acre woodland in West Palm Beach, Florida, USA. Here, guests from all over the world actively participate in their quest for self-improvement under the expert guidance of our knowledgeable and compassionate staff. Participants enjoy our state-of-the-art therapeutic facilities, the exceptional skills of our body/mind therapists, the superb daily buffet of organic, enzyme-rich foods, and the exciting lectures on life principles.
The thousands of health seekers who step through our portals with commitment and genuine desire to find optimum health and well-being are indeed making a considerable investment in their future. With Hippocrates Health Institute as their partner in this liberating endeavor, these guests come to realize that good health is not only possible, but also definite and achievable.

Hippocrates: The Banquet
Food, according to Webster's Dictionary, is any substance that enables one to live and grow — anything that nourishes. Based on this definition, hardly anything in the standard Western diet can be considered food! Years of scientific research have confirmed the fact that food, when subjected to chemical preservation methods and heated above 115 degrees F, loses its enzymes and nutritional value. Worse still, it actively causes ill health among its consumers. Following World War II, the method by which food was manufactured for public consumption changed drastically. We entered into an era of modern farming techniques that included the use of pesticides, fertilizers, and genetic engineering to increase yields and the shelf life of foods. The effects of industrial farming have been exceedingly harmful to both the human race and the planet alike. Before World War II, all food was organic. Today, one must search the aisles and read labels carefully to find organic items.
At Hippocrates buffet table, you will find real food in its purest form— food that is fresh, organic, and enzyme-rich — the way nature intended it. Our daily meals consist of imaginative culinary creations designed to nourish and heal the body, as well as please even the most jaded palate. In fact, mealtime at Hippocrates is a virtual banquet, a feast for the senses and one of the many pleasurable experiences you will have during your stay here. You will be delighted to discover that healthy food is both exciting and full of flavor and taste.
Learning how to prepare these dishes is a valuable skill that will serve you well as you incorporate this nutritional lifestyle into your daily routine. Soon the benefits of this life-giving diet will become apparent to you and to those around you.

Hippocrates: The Curriculum
The basic structure of the three-week Life Change Program is outlined below. The program provides our clients with the necessary tools to take control of their own personal well-being and to allow the body to maximize its potential and heal itself in a natural way. The program educates students to the Hippocrates Lifestyle and the biological and scientific methods behind the miracle stories of Hippocrates. This instruction not only teaches the specifics of the diet, but features intensive instruction in therapies, the psychology of wellness, and maintenance of the lifestyle in everyday life.
Live blood cell analysis is the early key to recovery and provides a roadmap to better health. Clients detoxify their systems through diet and special procedures, which infuse the body with oxygen and allow for speedy recovery. The increase in energy is felt immediately as the body begins to experience recovery to wholeness. This is the point that guests rave about. As they become detoxified from habitual problems, poor diet, and the ravages of meat and processed foods, the effects of healing can be dramatically felt and seen.
Hippocrates staff is accustomed to witnessing rapid improvement in the physical well-being of persons suffering from cancer, leukemia, Parkinson's disease, hepatitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, and a myriad of other complaints. This improvement is heightened by an experience of increased self-awareness and self-esteem as the clients learn to gain control of their lives and take responsibility for their choices.
