"It was a very fortunate day in 2001 when someone lead me to the Keep Hope Alive website. Consequently I struck up an email friendship with Mark and began to delve deep into the vast amount of material he has gathered together over the years. In Kenya, where AIDS is rampant, some of the biggest obstacles we face - as over all of Africa - is the tremendous poverty, ignorance and stigma connected to AIDS. People do not know how to treat themselves and they lack courage and the money to get help. In my work in Kenya, we have used the information of the IRH to its best advantage for the poor. Through the Kenyan publication of IRH information (Great Health, Naturally!), now thousands of Kenyans and Africans have learned how to restore their immune system and keep it up at the lowest possible cost. Korogocho is one of the poorest squatter slums of Nairobi. Here people have no water, no sewage system, no electricity. Whole families live in one-room huts made of mud, sticks, iron sheets and cardboard. Yet it is here that the IRH book having a tremendous impact.
"Sixty PLWHA clients of the Medical Mission Sisters home-based care project, in third and fourth stages of HIV, were put on a simple regimen added to their usual medications. This humble regimen is what the project could afford to give their clients. Within the first month, 75% of those clients gained weight and within the next 3 months virtually ALL experienced better appetite, better sleep, recovered energy, weight gain and a reduction of various symptoms including diarrhea, coughs, vomiting, skin rashes, etc. The information in IRH is invaluable in the global fight against AIDS. As you read this book you will find that you can deal with your body with fewer drugs and more in line with Nature and Her laws. Mark, bless you for your work and keep it up."
"As a non-medical person, Mark Konlee has amassed an incredible amount of knowledge and understanding about human health, based on his very personal and often difficult medical experiences where he truly acted as his own and best patient advocate. IRH is the culmination of Mark's keen insights into the human condition, his compassionate and analytical mind and those "broad shoulders" that have shared the toils of others who have experienced similar health issues. These qualities make Mark an exemplary innovator who is truly interested in the well being of those around him. Marks' gift to all of us is the Immune Restoration Handbook that is richly endowed with new insights on immune function and self-help protocols that get you the medical attention you need - especially when you have exhausted all "conventional' options and it's time to "think outside the box."
"Having begun a cross-country odyssey from California in early June in search of self, I was happy to find the latest edition of your manual in the alternative bookstore in Denver - and had to have it. Its information is even more comprehensive than an earlier edition I was fortunate to receive. It contains a wealth of topics that can only serve to enlighten those who actively choose a more complete holistic path in their healing, and accept responsibility for it. Beyond that, thank you for the compassion, awareness and love behind your action, which gives to many the faith and hope to join with the process of life and move forward with living. It is gratifying to know that you include a spiritual perspective that, indeed, is an integral part of one's existence, a part that more of us need to embrace as it holds many answers."
"I send you my best wishes for your book, to be read by many people, who can finally find relief from their suffering."
"The information that you have amassed in your book even surpasses the knowledge of an AIDS Physician. This is because you take a broader view and not a restricted one."
"My liver had practically shut down due to all the prescription drugs the doctors had given me. The establishment almost killed me and I allowed it to happen out of desperation. Mark, I want you to know that I am eternally grateful. Your information and direction literally saved my life!
"I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFIDS. I ordered your book thinking that if it was a help for AIDS, it might help CFIDS. It is the only real help I have found in the six years I have been sick. My life is now worth living again."
"I am writing to say thanks. I tested HIV positive four years ago. I started your diet three and one-half weeks ago and have never felt better.... The quality of my life has increased ten-fold. I gave your book to my neighbor who has chronic fatigue. I'm glad to report that he is now symptom free and feeling great also."
"I want to thank you for the book and the new lease on life the diet has given me. I am now miraculously free from candidiasis, psoriasis and gastric distress. God Bless you."
"Some time ago you sent us a copy of your book. It has been circulated among members of our group. The whole book is informative and well put together. Many Thanks."
"Mark Konlee has created a patient friendly system for those facing serious chronic illness; a system that gives personal power back to the individual. IRH is an invaluable aid to persons facing these conditions."
