Dr. Roni DeLuz and Robin Quivers appeared on CNN on tuesday night with Larry King. Robin exclaimed that she had lost nearly 30 pounds thus far using the methods of the Martha’s Vineyard Diet Detox. Here is an excerpt from the interview, provided by CNN.com:
KING: We’ve been talking about the book “21 Pounds in 21 Days.” We meet its co-author Roni Deluz who is the founder of the Martha’s Vineyard Holistic Retreat. How did you come up with this?
RONI DELUZ, CO-AUTHOR, “21 POUNDS IN 21 DAYS”: Well, I was sick, very sick, about 17 years ago. So I went on a rampage to try to save my life and actually…
KING: Even though you’re a registered nurse and naturopathic doctor.
DELUZ: Absolutely.
KING: You still got sick?
DELUZ: I still got sick and I was sick for a very long time. And I went to doctor after doctor until I found an herbalist 17 years ago that told me THAT I had a really bad digestive system. And then I found a colon therapist who told me I had a really bad digestive system. And then I found a homeopath and on and on and on.
Finally, I went back to school, Larry, because I had to save my life because at that point I was on so many prescription drugs. And the final prescription drug that I got was called Prozac. That’s when I knew that I had to turn this whole thing around.
And basically I found out that I did have a problem with my digestive system but I was also having a problem with many toxins in my body. I had pesticide poisoning and on and on and on. So I came up with the protocol.
KING: How do people who are overweight know if they have a digestive problem or not?
DELUZ: I think the first sign is they’re bloated. They bloat a lot. They have protruding abdomens. They can’t go to the bathroom. There’s many signs. Their skin sags. Their skin is like a different color. Their hair is thinning. I mean there’s many signs of a digestive system and I think people know it.
