Well, after many hundreds of cases, we have found some people that this protocol will not work for. This protocol definitely works for most people but let me outline the groups of people that it will not work for so that if you are considering doing this protocol (and fall into one of these groups of people) you will not waste your time and money by attempting to go through the process. It wil produce frustration and dis-satisfaction for both you and us!
Perhaps the man who devoted his life to perfecting this protocol, Dr. A. T. W. Simeons, said it best. After working with the number of people that we have, I can almost hear his voice.
“If these conditions are not acceptable, the case is refused, as any compromise or half measure is bound to prove utterly disappointing to patient and physician alike and is a waste of time and energy.” We would have helped ourselves tremedously if we would have adhered to this advice and simply refused to work with people that came up with all kinds of excuses as to why they couldn’t do the protocol correctly! We have caused ourselves way too much frustration trying to “work with people” on what they wanted to do instead of what they were supposed to do.
And I’m pretty sure he wrote this next passage after a patient consultation with one of the people that the protocol doesn’t work as well for, “The most tiresome patients are those who start counting Calories and then come up with all manner of ingenious variations which they compile from their little books. When one has spent years of weary research trying to make a diet as attractive as possible without jeopardizing the loss of weight, culinary geniuses who are out to improve their unhappy lot are hard to take.”
Allow me to quote Dr. Simeons one more time and this quote will lead right into the groups of people that the protocol will not work for, “Some people do not realize that a tangerine is not an orange and that chicken breast does not mean the breast of any other fowl, nor does it mean a wing or a drumstick.”
This protocol WILL NOT WORK for:
- People who will not listen or follow instructions
- People who have no intention of changing their lives at all but simply want the latest fad to get rid of some weight (another quote from Dr. Simeons: “This book discusses a new interpretation of the nature of obesity, and while it does NOT advocate yet another fancy slimming diet, it does describe a method of treatment which has grown out of theoretical considerations based on clinical observation.”) because if you keep doing all the things that altered the functioning of the hypothalamus then eventually it will do the same thing again
- People who are convinced that they know just as much as the doctor specializing in this protocol and can therefore do what they desire to do, substitute what they want to substitute and still make the protocol work - it won’t
- People who don’t do the protocol correctly because “it just doesn’t make sense” that it would work that way and not this way
- People who don’t read the book, the website and the material we give them but still try to make it work by guessing or assuming what they are supposed to do
- People who can’t or won’t follow a check list accurately
- People who are so determined that they are “doing everything right” that they won’t help us figure out what they are doing wrong - and they are doing something wrong or it would be working
Now, don’t get me wrong; not everybody in the above groups are intentionally trying to mess the protocol up (although some certainly appear to being trying their best). Some of these people are very sincere but they are sincerely wrong.
So, if you fall into one of the groups of people listed above, please don’t do the protocol. It will save you and us a lot of frustration and it will allow us to help all of the many, many people that don’t fit into the above groups because every single person that has done what we’ve instructed them to and followed through with the protocol has gotten results. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! Sometimes it has taken them a week or so to realize that there really was something that they were doing, most likely without even knowing it, and that we really were telling them the truth; but, as soon as they did realize it and make the corrections we were telling them to make then the protocol worked just like it was supposed to. Just like Dr. Simeons said it would.
