CFS (Chronic fatigue syndrome)

Melina from Maidenhead

I found the programme very easy to follow and the instructions in the booklet are a great help. I found that only after a short time of following the programme I stared to feel better with my symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, which was fab as I had been unwell for some 6 months already with no other treatments being effective in any way. I have eaten foods that are on my forbidden list but within a very short time and with not eating very much of the “wrong” foods I feel unwell again. I will be staying with the programme for the foreseeable future and I am over moon that something has worked for me. I now am able to go back to work, enjoy time with my family and start participating in sport again, which I have not been able to do for over a year.
 
Thanks very much!!!!!!!!

IBS

Usha from Hertfordshire

My doctor said I'd have to live with IBS for the rest of my life and there was nothing I could do because there was no treatment for it. I saw a glimmer of hope in an article about the novo test and decided to take it, I had nothing to lose apart from weight. 14 weeks later I can confidently say I haven't experienced any IBS symptoms since I started and I have lost about 10lbs. I have found healthier foods I now prefer and enjoy and I try to stick to my green list as much as I can.

Nicola from Lincolnshire

I truthfully went on the NOVO diet as I have suffered badly with IBS.  From the blood test I have learnt to steer clear of the Red food group on my list.  I can honestly say the IBS has cleared up and I am full of energy again.  It is just knowing what you can and can’t eat has helped me internally feel great.  I would recommend this programme to anyone, especially those with IBS or other bowel problems.

Judith from London

I’ve suffered for ten years with a sensitive stomach and I’d recently convinced myself that wheat and dairy were a bad idea but my system still reacted quickly and often violently to other things I was eating. The Immogenics NOVO test issued me with a list of ‘green’ foods that are ok to eat and ‘red’ foods that I shouldn’t. My bloating disappeared almost immediately and within a fortnight I’d lost weight. My mood and concentration improved and stayed level, and work colleagues noticed a rise in my energy levels; I felt like I’d been plugged into the mains.

Merel from New York, USA

It was amazing what great results I achieved by just slightly altering my diet with the NOVO program. I always suffered from irritable bowel with daily bloating and frequent cramping. The usual advice from my doctors of exercise, water and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables did not help. And after following the NOVO plan I have felt better than ever and I plan to stick to it. Thank you NOVO!

Helena from Wrexham

After almost 3 months, I feel like a new person, I have so much energy, have gone from having serious problems every day with my tummy to not knowing its there, and as a bonus I have lost almost 1 stone.
I was recommended this programme by my hypnotherapist, who I have been seeing for my IBS. I had told him about the problems I had with my stomach and also about my lack of energy, headaches, feelings of depression and in general not wanting to do anything with my life. I started the Candida program in November and lost almost 1 stone in the first month, I have had a hard time with it as I got really sick and had to stick to a very strict diet for a very long time. I messed up a bit over Christmas and I am therefore still on the very strict diet. I don’t mind though, I feel like a new person. I have so much energy, hardly feel my stomach anymore and just feel full of life. I would recommend this to anyone. It has completely changed my life, and the weight loss is just a bonus. I can’t believe I have been so sick for years and not known that it could all change in a month with the right diet. I will stick to it for life.

Indigestion

Mark from Stratford

I took the test 3 months ago as I’d been suffering from bad indigestion and was feeling lethargic.  The results came back quickly; I took a week to prepare i.e. buying in Green List foods and throwing away Red List foods.  Within 4 weeks I had lost a stone in weight, my energy levels had returned and no indigestion!

Migraines

Marianne from Kent 

The Programme was very well organised and I felt confident it was not just a fad but technically and scientifically based. After a week of headaches and feeling nauseous I started to feel a lot more energetic, I lost some weight which made me feel better too. The migraines I have suffered with for many years completely went and I have continued with the diet mostly as I think it has been a very effective treatment for my migraines, much better than taking medication. I feel very much fitter and stronger generally.

Chistian from Montreal, Canada 

I flew to New York from Canada to do the NOVO test in my quest to control my debilitating migraines. I started the diet in February and eliminated everything indicated. I have seen the results after a week with the disappearance of nausea and vomiting prior to my migraines and overall more energy. Imagine my surprise when I had a migraine I would often eat lightly which for me was a couple of pieces of wheat toast and black tea. I couldn’t understand why even that would make me nauseous and provide a feeling of discomfort. Now I find out that black tea and wheat are on the top of my list. I have not found it difficult to stay away from breads and cookies. The general sense of well-being that I get is additional motivation to stick with the foods I can eat.

Leah from New York, USA 

Coffee was my number 3 trigger food. I was drinking 2-3 cups a day. I used to get terrible headaches everyday or every other day which I medicated with Excedrin. Since going off coffee since March, I can count on one hand the headaches I’ve had. And of course I have the benefit of not having to take medication. That alone was well worth the money of the program!

Skin

Sarah from South Africa

My biggest problem was my skin, aged 35 with teenage breakouts and lumpy skin was understandably frustrating for me. So I decided to give Immogenics a go.  What I liked first of all was that the blood analysis gave me a completely personalised diet, just to suit me, and that questions were answered scientifically. Today I am amazed at my skin, friends are continually commenting at how amazing I look. People who I haven’t seen for a while have to do a double take to recognise me! I am now a Size 10 with smooth clear skin and I have loads of energy plus a great zest for life!  My husband is so impressed that he is taking himself off to do the test. Thank you Immogenics for changing my life.

Priti from South London

I first heard about NOVO through a patient of mine. She said it was easy and that it really worked. I thought to myself ‘yes, I have heard that before’. But in weeks she began to look great and lose weight. So I did the blood test. The thing I liked the most was that you didn’t have to count calories or weigh foods. It was easy – eat a food or don’t eat a food. I did NOVO strictly for 3 months and lost 20lbs and found my eczema had really improved. I had a lot more energy and so many people commented on how great I looked. The best advice I can give is don’t cheat it is not worth it. It is a lifestyle change and as soon as you start to feel the benefits you will want to carry on.

Robert from Rotherham

I took the test because I have psoriasis and arthritis.  This programme is not a cure but I can testify both my skin and swellings improved noticeably.  The diet has side effects and is not easy but perseverance is recommended for a good reason.

Weight

Christine from Cambridge

I started the diet after reading an article in Real Magazine “Is Salad Making You Fat”. Being a vegetarian with weight to lose the article made sense to me. I have lost 23lbs in 11wks and I am still losing weight. I have more energy and I no longer experience the acid indigestion I used to. I thought cutting out chocolates and cakes would be difficult but I no longer miss them. I have lost weight and feel 100% better and all the while I was able to eat chip butties.

Ross from Sussex 
 
I decided to do NOVO as I have suffered with chronic stomach problems since early childhood, also losing weight would be a bonus. My stomach problems cleared up almost immediately and I lost 2 ½ stone in 12 weeks, I now fit in trousers that I haven’t been able to wear for 5 years! The programme was quite difficult to begin with, but once you learn what you can eat and find suitable meal ideas it is an enjoyable way to eat. I love the fact that I don’t have to count calories and simply stick to my green list instead. Also knowing that if I put on any weight in the future – I just go onto my green list for 5 weeks, really makes me feel it is a diet for life.  

Anonymous rom New York, USA

I have been overweight all my life and have tried several diets only to regain what I’ve lost. After testing my blood with NOVO I reacted strongly to peanuts. Since childhood I have always eaten peanut butter and did till this day. I have followed the NOVO diet for 4 months now and noticed an 18 pound weight loss and an increase in energy. I wholeheartedly recommend the NOVO eating plan, especially for those who have grown disillusioned with existing diets and want a new approach to weight loss.

Kevin from New Zealand
I was in desperate need to lose weight, get fit and find a solution to my constant tiredness.  What made the NOVO Programme so appealing is that it is based on making a lifestyle change, not a faddy quick fix and it is was based on science that made sense to me.

From following the programme I had staggering results including:
Losing 20kgs
Reducing my trouser size from Size 46 to Size 42
Reducing my shirt size from Size 19 to Size 17.5
I managed to cycle to Lake Taupo Challenge – 160km!
And no longer need to use my asthma inhaler, for the first time in 18 years.
 
I feel full of energy and with so much less bulk that its almost a new life thanks to NOVO

Other Conditions

Peter from Derbyshire

I started the programme because I had problems with my eyesight and concentration levels at work, I suffered from a foggy head. I had my eyesight tested and it was fine, I was also then tested for high blood pressure and diabetes, both tests came back negative. The Optician found that I had swollen blood vessels in the back of my eyes, when I discussed this with a friend she explained that she too had the same thing and it was caused from sensitivity to food. I have been on the NOVO programme for 11 weeks and my eyesight and concentration levels are 100% better. I have lost 1 ½ stone and I can function day to day with a clearer head.

Emma from London

I started the programme because I have an autoimmune disease, I had tried other diets to improve my symptoms and they did not work. I wanted to lose some of the weight that I had put on because of the medication I was on.  In total on the NOVO Programme I have dropped over 1 ½ dress sizes. I have found the programme really easy to follow. I have been on the programme for 12 weeks - my skin has improved along with my stomach and energy levels. I used to get a migraine about once a week, since starting the programme I have only had two.
