I have had my wellness belt for about 2 years and never took it seriously. I have now been wearing it for about 2 months and am now on the last hole of the belt. It does work that's for sure. Do I have to purchase another belt that would fit me now that I can no longer make it any smaller. OR can I trade it in on a smaller one.
I had to write and tell you of my success with the Wellness Belt. I heard about it on the radio and decided it may help me. I had been "doing" the South Beach diet and had "plateaued" for 3 weeks. I started wearing the belt periodically at first, but July 21st, after vacationing, I got down to business. The rest is Amazing!!
I am now 32 pounds lighter and lost lots of inches galore - I had a pile of summer clothes that I had hoped to get into "maybe next year". They are being given away now - TOO BIG!!
My co-workers in the emergency department were amazed when I started sharing my story. Yesterday when I walked into work I was told there is a long list of people interested and one of my friends is going to see you Friday with her shopping list. Today three other people from other areas of the hospital are interested and ordering.
I keep repeating my success story to each and everyone emphasizing that I have also changed my eating habits. It's not just the belt. But, plateau on South Beach to down 32 pounds with the belt. A coincidence - I think not.
I don't know how to thank you other than sharing my story. I feel as if someone put a pin in me and let out a lot of air! I went from a size 22 jean to 18!! In three months.
My daughter is getting married next Oct 3rd, 2009. She is size 4 - I am walking her down the aisle - And I will be a healthy "?" I'll stop when I feel and look great - no number yet.
To all the people who are non-believers - it worked for me - and I thank Dr. Craig and all the people at the Wellness Belts company. Dr. Craig Curphey - Bless You!
2008-12-15 Dr. Craig, I'm up to 43 pounds as of today!
Note - as of 2009-02-01 - Julie is now down 51 pounds!
It has been 3 months since I picked up the phone to dial your number but before that I had heard for about six months your ad on the radio. It all sounded so good but I thought "Is it just another gimmick?".
However as my wife was in constant pain with her back, walking stooped over and not eating properly (she had lost a lot of weight and was very weak), could not sit for long because of her back, and had to lay down because of the pain.
Praying about this matter, I felt in my spirit to just go ahead and order a belt and say nothing to my wife. The belt came and Pearl said "what have you got now?".
Taking it out of the box, I was surprised at the weight, and as I showed it to my wife, I told her what I had heard on the radio about it.
She said "you have to be kidding - I could never wear that, and besides I have already lost too much weight.
"Honey - just try it - the man I spoke to (Ken) said he was sure it should help your back and perhaps do other things. If we are not satisfied after using it for 3 months, send it back and we will refund your money less the postage".
I had to help her put it on and said "just try to wear it for a little while" and I went outside to tend the garden.
About an hour or less went by and she came out to the back porch calling me and I ran to the house thinking something was wrong. But she stood there crying with Joy, "Ron - I can't believe it - since putting the belt on - the pain is gone.
This was in June. Since then we have gone to the lake (Long Point Ontario) which is about an hour drive from Brantford. However, prior to getting the belt, we didn't think we could get to the lake this year because of the pain of riding in the car was too much.
After getting the belt, we went to the lake twice this summer and each time for a week. While there she was in the water swimming every day - which would have been impossible before. But that's not all as her appetite came back and she was eating everything.
My daughter who used to take her out for afternoons was amazed at how much she had changed. No longer was she stooped over anymore, walking better, putting on weight and a whole new changed attitude.
When we met others who know us they all say "What has happened to Pearl?". This leads me to telling about the Wellness Belt as I can't help to be excited telling about the changes in her life, and what it could do for them.
In closing, I just want to say Thank You Ken for your patience in taking the time to listen to me for about a 1/2 hour, about the conditions of my wife and encouraging me to try it.
Thank you Dr. Craig for you and your partners for designing the Belt, and as always I say "Thank You Jesus" for using these people and answering my prayer and bringing them into my life, with the answer to my wife's pain.
Gos Bless, Sincerely Ron S., Brantford, Ontario
I am amazed at the success I am achieving with the Wellness belt. I started out on the first hole and within a week and a half am on the fourth hole. I wear it all day and forget that I am even wearing it. I dislike exercise so this is the perfect answer - it does not make me uncomfortable or take time out of my day so I can get things done and socialize while it gives me a workout and improves my health. It would take a month of dieting and gym workouts for the same results based on past experiences.I plan to wear this for maitenance purposes - we know this is the most difficult part of losing weight. I would be interested to know if you are a medical doctor or what specialized field you have your doctorate.
Kind regards,
Pat
FYI... I took home a couple of the belts this weekend to show them to my
family... and had great success.
My husband tried one on and instantly had relief from his back pain. One of
my daughters tried it out while walking the dog and was surprised at how
comfortable it felt on and would like to get one to wear at work. My other
daughter who tends to be a hard sell if it's something her mother
recommends, read up on it this morning and asked to try one out while doing
what she was doing today...so that one is pending...I'll keep you posted.

We spoke on the phone about my Wellness Belt. I need to have it shortened 4 inches. If you have questions feel free to call me. I appreciated you taking the time to speak with me and answer my questions regarding the belt.
I feel it has been very beneficial for me. My bone mineral density improved in my hips and I am no longer at risk.
Now I just need to improve my spine. I had a total hysterectomy around the age of 39 and now I am 50 years of age.
I do not take any medications so my body produces little to no calcium. I do take a calcium supplement, but I have a hard time remembering to take it. Not a very good pill taker.
I have recommended your belt to many people. The cost was well worth it for me.
You might want to wait for a month or so to make sure all is well, but I have to say, so far so good.
Here's a little background on my back problems.
My first husband died and the stress of his sudden death brought on a severe neck and back spasm.
My first visit to a chiropractor revealed I had had whiplash.
I was involved in two car accidents within a week of each other in my early twenties.
Twenty years later the effects of the whiplash appeared triggered by stress.
As well as my back being sore, my feet were very sore along the sides and my medical doctor suggested an orthopedic shoe, however when I contacted a chiropractor who sells them, she suggested chiropractic care instead.
My gait was off and my one hip higher than the other causing chronic back pain and sore feet. Regular chiropractic treatments have greatly improved my subluxation (stage 3 in my neck) however the pain has never gone away completely.
Today I wore the belt for approx. 2 hours around the house. I do not seem to have the soreness everyone speaks of. I am sleeping better and yesterday I cut the grass (push mower) with the belt on and no pain or very few sore muscles this morning.
I've tried a lot of things to lose weight.
My dad found out about the Wellness Belt and on Dec 25, 2007 I got it.
I started at 290 pounds and by September 2008 I was down to 170!
I have had the belt shortened once a few months ago and today I am getting it shortened again because I haven't been able to wear it for the last 3 or 4 weeks. Now I'm up to 210 pounds but I got my belt back today and I'm hoping to go back down to 170 again.
I would recommend this product to anybody. I'm going to get 3 of my friends to try it.
Thank you for such a marvelous product that keeps on giving as long as you "buckle up".
Hi,
I wanted to tell you about my experience with the Wellness Belt.
Two years ago I suffered an accident at work. I slipped on ice and damaged my tailbone, as well as my lower vertabrae. The pain was terrible, and I was sent to several doctors and had multiple tests performed. After months of physiotherapy, my doctors concluded I had progressed with my healing as far as I could. So they sent me back to work. Unfortunately, their version of healed and mine was not the same. I was still suffering greatly, having lower back pain continuously. I could no longer pick up anything, bending hurt, and sitting on anything other than a fat cushion was awful.
My father is very interested in alternative medicines. He had helped me previously deal with an gastroesophageal problem my son had. He learned about the Wellness Belt and insisted I try it. I am overweight and my father thought we could kill two birds with one stone. Since the doctors could no longer help me, my husband and I thought it was worth a try. So my mother and I headed into Barrie to pick one up. The first week or so was difficult, getting used to the weight from the belt. But then the most wonderful thing happened! The pain in my back started to go away! I found that the more I wore the belt, the less my back hurt. It seems the belt puts weight in the proper places, and holds my back straight, alleviating the pain. Now, if I forget to put the belt on, I soon feel the pain in my lower back, and it reminds me to put the belt on. And when people ask me about the "big belt" on my hips, I tell them all about the Wellness Belt!
I have not lost weight yet, but I am hoping for great things. In the meantime, the relief it gives me from my back pain is worth more than "all the tea in China"
Thank you so much for all your help
WELL THE WELLNESS BELT REALLY DOES WORK. I HAVE LOST ABOUT 7 BETTER, BUT THE INCHES HAVE MELTED AROUND MY MID SECTION. HOWEVER WEARING THIS BELT HELPS TO REMIND ME TO STAND TALL AND ERECT. I HAVE HAD COMPLIMENTS ON MY POSTURE.
HAVING SAID THIS, MY HUSBAND STILL THINKS THAT I AM CRAZY AND LAUGHS....BUT I LIKE THE FEEL AND THE RESULTS.
I HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS WELLNESS BELT TO OTHERS AND ONE GAL BOUGHT AND LOVES IT.
THANKS FOR AN EASY WAY TO LOOK BERGER AND FEEL BETTER.
Hello: I purchased my belt in January 2008 for the purpose of staving off osteoporosis problems in future, as I am now considered to be at the high end of normal according to bone density tests.
My belt was purchased at the same time as I began to have arthritis problems in one knee and so I found that I could not wear the belt every day. I wore it when my knee was not sore and swollen but left the belt off during those days when things were difficult with my knee. Still, between January and June I lost weight and inches while doing nothing else at all, except riding my bicycle. I wasn't dieting, just eating normally. I will continue to wear the belt when my knee is not sore and I expect that I'll continue to lose weight/inches and trust that my next bone density test will show that I am staving off the onset of osteoporosis.
I was just about to contact you to ask what to do now that my belt is into the last hole and is feeling 'roomy' when worn.
Thanks for an excellent product.
I have felt really well since I started to wear my wellness belt, I wear it all the time , the reason I got it was because of my back. I can honestly say that I do not have the pain in my lower back that I once had.
It is the best investment I could have made and it has improved how I feel about myself. I really miss it when I don’t have it on. I have recommend it to many people.
Subject: Inches Lost!!!
I purchases the wellness belt on Mar 4th 2008 and began wearing it the following day,, i had thought about it for quite sometime after hearing the testimonials on the radio and then reading the website several times" As i needed to lose 50lbs i had tryed many things out there and was unhapppy about the results. And spending another 200.00 almost was out of the question I guess what really sold me was the full year money back guarantee, i figured what have i got to lose. So needless to say within the first week i was beginning to notice the belt was becoming looser as i started i was on the first hole on a size 44 belt,, and now im on the 5th hole and am making arrangements to have it altered as i only have one hole left. Im not a person to measure but i have been on the scales regular and I'm down 25lbs this has all happen since Mar 4th IMPRESSIVE UH!!!!! i need to mention that i work at a very demanding and physical job 6 days a week so this i assure helps out. I dont have pictures of before as i did not believe that this were possible but i can assure you that i have people that will attest to my progress. Hope to hear from you soon Darlene
I purchased the wellness belt on February 22nd and I wear it everyday and I have gone down 2 sizes so far and have lost weight as well and I feel great and I don't try to hide my shape anymore. I do more exercising now than before and I feel good about myself. I even tell people about it. I recommend it whole heartedly and am amazed that it does what it is meant to do.
I bought my belt about 8 months ago because I wanted to lose 20 lbs and I had heard you ad on the radio.I wore the belt for a while and I did not lose a single pound and I thought the belt did not have any benifit until I realized that my bad back which kept me from wandering the malls with my wife was feeling better . now I go shopping in comfort and I wear the belt every day I would not be without it and am trying to get my wife to wear one as well.
I am currently on my second belt. Originally I purchased the belt to loose weight, but soon found a more important reason to have this belt.
25 years ago I fell down a flight of stairs and cracked my tail bone. The next 4 years were spent in a chiropractor office, 3 days a week. After that it has been off and on, with little to little to no relief, expect for Advil.
After just 2 months with this belt, my back pain is almost nil, most of the time. I look for my belt as soon as I dress in the morning and do not remove it until I go to bed at night. I have worn it with blue jeans, as well as an evening dress.
Everyone I speak with I recommend this belt to them. It has given me a new lease on life again.
I have also lost 10 pounds, which is the secondary importance of this belt in my mind
I just wish I had known about the belt 20 years ago.
am down again, it was so nice to go shopping and be able to find clothes that would fit size (18 and 18w). I have lost over 8 inches because the belt I started with was a 48 and size 26w pants and I just had it resized to I think a size 39 last week I picked it up on Thursday and am going to need to bring it back for resizing again I am in the last notch. I am so amazed with how well it works, keep up your good work.
I have been wearing my belt for 4 months - LOVE IT! I do tell EVERYONE about your product including fellow employees at Barrie Transit. Just to let you know, I will continue to refer tIhe belt with or without a fee as I am 150% sold on it. I think it is the best thing since sliced bread and want everyone to know. Thanks again.....Martha
Great. I'm slimmer around the waist already. I don't notice I have it on. I keep it on when using the rebounder to exercise my arms etc.
The doctor told me I'd lost 33% of my spine and hips. I took New Roots Strong Bones (hydroxiapatite)and used the rebounder. The last x-ray showed that both had improved, but there was still bone loss in my spine.
