Retreat Testimonial Emails
1995 Retreat
September, 1995
Dear Gary:
You have been the facilitator who provided me with the kind of memories that great meditations are made of. I realized that I really needed some R&R when a meditation speaker asked me to close my eyes and let my mind go back to a time when I felt a wonderful sense of love and peace or extreme happiness. A most startling awakening occurred when I realized that I had no such events in my memory bank. That is when I knew how much stress I had been under and for such a long period of time. My health was truly in jeopardy.
I needed powerful, positive, life affirming experiences which could elicit warm, loving feelings which would in turn sustain me for a time. Your Healing Springs Ranch was and is an ideal setting for providing people with enough memories to last for some time to come. I thank you for sharing your dream, your life and your home with me and with so many others. I love you for being who you are.
I am the person who volunteered to do colonies for my workstudy opportunity. Even though I had no idea of the sheer volume of work involved, the experience was valuable for me on several levels. The feedback which I received about my performance and skills as a healer have been all positive. I hope and trust that you have also received good feedback regarding my work.
Gary, I have been told that within the next five years, progressive physicians practices will include, on-site, colon therapy. I believe that this will be a most practical and intelligent and comprehensive undertaking.
Should you consider introducing this service at the Healing Center, I am available and would be quite interested in renting space from you for this purpose. In addition, I am fully capable of having the necessary installation taken care of personally. All we need is the space of a small room.
I love your spirit, I love your work and I love you. I send blessings to you and to those you care for. Wishing you Peace, Love, Health & Joy
Anita, Certified Colon Therapist
These are the changes I have made in my life as a direct result of my experiences of detoxification at The Healing Springs Ranch:
1] I will eat only that which honors life., from now forward.
2] I will use, activate, stimulate my creative abilities in preparation of food.
3] a] I will fast one full day per week for life (water only)
b] I will fast ( juice and fruit) one week per month for life.
c] I will do an extended fast once per year for life.

1997 Retreat
February 25, 1997
Dear Gary: I attended your Paradise Gardens detox week program the week of 2/2-2/8/97 and wanted to express my gratitude to you and your staff for running the program. I will always remember how your “positive energy field” and the Florida sun felt; when I am down I allow this energy to rejuvenate me. The week away did make a significant difference in my life. I know that you are concerned whether your listeners are incorporating/actualizing the information presented to them in their daily life.
Sometimes this is easy and sometimes it is quite difficult.
Natural Life Energy:
During the week away it became obvious to me that I am of the Dynamic Supportive energy group. This realization has been a major breakthrough/turning point for me since I have been somewhat “stuck/ going around in circles” with identifying my essential needs. I have in fact always wanted to be a teacher. Since returning from the trip I have taken positive action towards finally completing my doctorate. In addition, I have increased my involvement in volunteer activities. On a micro scale, I have upgraded the training program at my business so that I may effectively teach others what I know rather than chronically complain that they are incompetent. I commend you for helping people on a much larger scale; in some respects you have helped me save my life.
Workout Issues:
During the week away in Florida I power walked 12-13 miles per day. I have been able to duplicate these efforts at home on Sat & Sun. During the work week I run approximately l-4 miles per night. I look forward to working out with the Running & Walking Club when I am not out of town on business. I am also continuing to lift weights & participate in other athletic activities. Thank you for the motivation your provided.
Health Issues:
After attending your former Texas ranch detox program in 8/95 I made radical changes in my diet including 95% elimination of caffeine, sugar, red meat, and junk food. I am currently taking numerous supplements as well as many of your products. These measures have improved my health status dramatically, however I still have other aspects of health to address.-During the recent BAI pledge drive I purchased the “Women’s Health Package”; I am hoping the “Women’s Health Encyclopedia” will provide additional in-sites on how to further improve/maintain my health status.
On one level (intellectual I guess) I have been attempting to lose the same 10-15 pounds for almost as many years. When I analyze the situation I realize that deep down inside on an emotional level I do not really want to lose the weight whereas on a superficial level I clearly do. In some respects it is actually more comfortable to be slightly overweight; people generally leave you alone (I love to be inconspicuous). When I get really thin, which I have in the past for short periods of time, any attention which results is extremely uncomfortable. In the interest of my health I need to overcome this negative thought pattern. I will attempt to visualize myself 10 pounds thinner in a comfortable emotional state (I may wear very conservative clothing so it won’t really matter anyway).
Creative Energy:
A major event during the detox week for me was apparent “opening of creative blocks” which have inhibited my pursuit of a balanced life in recent weeks. I decided on a new topic for my thesis and wrote a chapter in my novel while I was away. Upon arriving home I prepared a five year business plan for my business (I know we were not supposed to work on business issues while at your ranch). Either the time spent meditating or the subliminal message tapes correlated to a release of creative energy for me which I am grateful.
Stress Reduction/Dealing with Conflict:
A critical issue for me to address is stress reduction. While I am not normally a work-a-holic nor are ultra-controlling I sometimes, in the past, have let my emotions and repressed emotions run totally wild (screaming and crying fits) when faced with stressful situations. Fortunately, this problem has resolved itself substantially over the past year so that it rarely happens and if it does, only when I am alone. While away, I realized that such toxic emotions have had a major negative impact on my health status.
I am determined to refuse to let screaming idiots “rattle my cage” and upset my emotional balance. Yesterday, when someone started yelling at me I sat there and smiled and prayed for his well being. Even though he got more upset with me and threw papers and a chair I felt better. I then left the room.
12-Step Programs:
While I do not agree with many of your views and did not agree with your opinion of 12-step programs initially, I am “starting to come around” on this issue. I have, on a trial basis, substantially reduced my attendance at such meetings and do feel less focused on the problem and more proactive in finding a solution. You may be right on this issue.
Relationships:
It is difficult and painful for me to even look at this issue since I have chronically and
compulsively allowed people into my life based upon conditioning rather than essential needs. I also now realize that I may have a fear of intimacy which I am working on by practicing rigorous honesty in all matters. I was never a pathological liar or a thief but was constantly involved in gossip and games with people. I think these types of behavior make it almost impossible to emotionally bond with others. Therefore, I am involved with low quality relationships with perpetual conflict and minimal emotional connection. My conditioning has taught me that I always have to be in a relationship and have a active social life whether it is right for me at the time or not. It is difficult for me to accept on an emotional level that it is OK to be alone unless I am with people with whom I may emotionally and intellectually bond with.
Intellectual Development:
Another area of my life which I have made major improvements under your guidance is
intellectual development in a variety of subjects (politics, religion, philosophy, science, etc.). I finally obtained a library card (after 7 years) and read 3-5 books and journal articles per week. I also challenge my brain more on a daily basis in the scientific sense. This modification has brought me great joy.
Impact of Your Radio Show:
I listen to your daily WBAI show approximately 3 days per week (whenever, wherever possible) and your Sun. PM show when I am not out of town and therefore out of range. Listening to your show “psyches me up” and provides ongoing motivation which I am grateful.
Letting Go of Negativity:
On the last night of my trip I burned my forgiveness letters as well as a piece of paper generated during George’s daily sessions which I wrote “negativity”. It was in fact tremendously “freeing”. When these issues arise I just remember that they were destroyed and “let go” in Florida.
New Philosophy of Life:
The way I look at life now is that we are a “bank” of energy in the spiritual and quanta mechanical sense. Every toxic emotion, conflict, worry, compulsive habit, and piece of junk food is synonymous with a “withdrawal” from the energy bank. When all of the energy is gone we die.
If you actually read this letter I hope you do not find it too personal and/or too detailed. I enjoyed writing it anyway. I hope you still enjoy interfacing with “regular” people struggling to change their lives.
I greatly appreciate all the help you have given me, my friends, and family over the years. Love and respect Always, Veronica

1999 Retreat
October 21, 1999
Dear Gary,
It has been three weeks since my husband Michael attended your program at your
home in Naples. I can’t thank you enough for sending back the man I once knew before
the pressure of society today took hold. Before he came to you, he was out of control
between stress and the toxic food he was consuming. He has been off sugar and caffeine which has made a tremendous difference. He is exercising and juicing with one midday meal, this is a lifestyle he must stick with. Gary, you have made a profound impact on him. He quotes you every day to reinforce what is important. So far it’s working, I can only pray he keeps it up. It was a Godsend when I met you at your book signing in Freehold, NJ. Bless you. Yours Truly, Sherrie

2006 Retreat
May 4, 2006
This is just a brief note to thank you for inviting me to volunteer for the last month at your home in Paradise Gardens. I had a wonderful time, and of course I learned a great deal. Thank you also for the special time you took to offer us training, and answer questions. You have countless people seeking your time and teaching, and I want you to know that the time you spent with us was appreciated.
I particularly want to thank your entire staff, both English and Spanish speaking. Each and every one of them went out of their way to make me feel welcome. They took considerable trouble to see that I had everything I needed to do my work. Because of their care and assistance I was able to do a much better job. Please thank them sincerely for me.
I look forward to enjoying the results of our efforts. May they be successful.
Thanks again, Frank

Subj: UPDATE
Hi Doug- We left Gary’s Paradise Gardens today. We drove to Savannah for our first overnight stay. We wanted to do sightseeing while while we slowly traveled back to New Jersey. Wow, what a difference in Lauretta. She talked quite a bit, smiled, sang along with the satellite’s Frank Sinatra station, stayed completely alert during the 10 hour drive and was able to eat her broiled flounder and baked potato dinner using a fork. Many would say big deal but it is much more than a big deal it is miraculous. None of this was possible just four weeks ago. On the way down there was no conversation, she used her fingers to eat, she saw imaginary people in the car. She is able now to tie her shoes and that alone she has not been able to accomplish that for at least two years. Get this, for the first time since her granddaughter was born 2 1/2 years ago she actually remembered her name.
Gary has been able to accomplish in four weeks what the Alzheimer’s specialists have never been able to accomplish over years despite the use of expensive medications and trying to accept and deal with their terrible side effects.
Gary you have given Lauretta back to me. Her spirit has returned, she is playful, no longer has that “nothing behind the eyes look”. There is no doubt she will regain her full faculties over a period of time, even regaining her ability to pilot a plane again.
For those who are dealing with the beginning of this horrid disease let me tell you what happens: First the memory is effected and that is when it becomes identifiable, then eyesight and/or hearing is effected, the ability to write, sign documents, read and comprehend the written or spoken word, bathe or even go to the toilet by themselves or even open the door, can’t do laundry, can’t dress themselves, will become emotionally unstable, making life unbearable for the caregiver. Then you will be compelled to institutionalize your loved one despite you can’t fully comprehend how or why this happened to you. You will visit your loved one even when they will longer remember you name and even that you are the spouse. All your finances will be spent because there is no help from the government and then when death occurs you just might just be left penniless and in poor health yourself and might just feel guilty feeling that maybe you should have done more.
Right now if your spouse is effected you can stop the slide into oblivion if you strictly follow Gary Null’s protocol. Diet, meditation and exercise and no cheating on any part of it allowed. It will require some easy modifications but both of you will benefit from it. I have lost fifteen pounds in four weeks, my blood pressure is way down and blood sugar is returning to normal. No bad for only an investment of only four weeks, sure wish my stocks would have done this over the same period of time.
Dr. Null you have given us the priceless gift of life. Let me mention life had become so stressful over the last couple of years that I believe she was within several weeks on the outside a month of being institutionalized at a cost of approximately $110,00 to $120,000 a year with increases every year there after.
Sincerely, Chet
P.S. I give my permission to use the contents of letter.

Hi Gary, After learning of your Aug. 24 – 30 retreat, I just knew I had to be a participant. I learned from Doug that I had been one of several chosen to be part of the week. What a marvelous experience!! Your instruction on power walking motivated me to make it a permanent part of my weekly routine. One day I power walk and one day I do hot yoga. Your demonstration on opening chi/exchanging energy amazed me. Our meals were flavorful and gave me several ideas to enhancing my veggie dishes. Bobby\’s energy workshops and Shamji’s inner tunings will always remain a part of me. Luanne\’s information on Qi-gong was new to me and so useful.
Moreover, your personal gift to us of energy transference totally intrigued me and your evening lectures resulted in written notes that I will always hold onto for future reference. Gary, I sincerely thank you for being here for us. I have learned so much through your broadcasts, guests, lectures and books. I can pass on much to others.
As an aside, when I met you at the Retreat and focused on your face, I likened it to the owl. I thought – the owl is a natural predator to rats!! Your revelations have been singling out “rats” for quite some time now. I\’m so pleased to have met you. And thank you again for giving me the direction to pass on to my daughter, Whitney concerning a home business producing videos showing how anyone can grow food in water. She loved the idea!! We\’re currently setting up work spaces here and I ‘ve already talked with someone who will do the filming of our projects.
Many, many thanks- C Grant

Subject: January Health Retreat at Paradise Gardens
Dear Gary, Thank you for having me at your health retreat last week. I have been listening to you on the radio for many years and you have improved the quality of my health from the beginning. I have always connected with you on the radio and have heeded as much as i could your advice and wisdom in living. Attending the retreat was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I had hoped to experience the process of living healthily each day, juicing, vegan meals, exercise and meditation and then to translate that to home to continue it. What I also came away with, which makes the whole lifestyle more meaningful to me, was the appreciation for the energy of all living beings and things and how I could connect or disconnect with vital or not so vital energy in the process of living my healthy life and keeping focused on my goals.
Also, I am so glad that I could slow down and relax at Paradise Gardens because I was truly missing essential information by rushing through my life, impatient most of the time and really accomplishing far less than I wanted to. In slowing down I could appreciate my connection to so many things that make my life enjoyable to live. I truly thank you for the opportunity to enjoy the ranch and all that you provided. I don’t think I could have experienced the healthy lifestyle and continue the experience as I am doing, without having come to the retreat and lived it. I also got in touch with the selfish and angry issues and while that was hard to accept, it was not that awful that I had to push it out of the way and avoid dealing with it. Everyone has noticed that I lost about 8-10 pounds and that I have noticed a vitality in my whole body that I was aware of as a result of the work outs and power walking I was able to do.
Thank you. You are a great healer and you have spectacular energy. I will always be grateful. Carolyn ______________________________________________________________________

Dear Gary, I cannot thank you enough for allowing me to have been part of these past two weeks. I feel so blessed to have had such an opportunity like I had. I understand now the lessons that we were there to learn. I will be very conscious to implement them from this moment on in my everyday experiences.
All my life I envisioned places such as you described. I’ve yearned for that life and these past two weeks was a window into that very existence. I pray that one day I could share in such a community.
I have been asking the universe for guidance and purpose for such a long time and it has finally come. I am on a new path now and I feel so alive. Thank you Gary so very much for that!
I will begin my new journey with challenging myself to something totally out of my comfort zone, so I will see you in Central Park in a couple of weeks. But first, a lifetime long and coming, foot and body massage.
With all my love- Magdalena- ps the manicure was amazing!

This group photo with you in it was sent today to all the retreat participants by Maria, you may want to have it.
I LOVE the 3rd CD “Becoming the True Self” where you refer to the 12 step fellowships and the concept about meetings, saying I am an Alcoholic, food addict etc, same as you addressed it on the Chapter The 13th Step on the book you gave us.
I can’t believe I wasted 25 years of my life doing that. It is over and my step sponsor didn’t like at all the fact that I won’t work the steps further, I just don’t see how writing a long inventory (step 4) with all resentments from all the people in my life and turning it over will get out of “my story” .
Also want you to know that on Sunday I noticed for the first time that my new growing hair on the roots is dark (my original color), after the chemo for 6 years I only grew 100% white hair. By seeing this my German best girlfriend and her husband are going to start taking your powders as well.
My little girl is having such a great time in The Netherlands with her daddy that he is keeping her another 6 weeks until school starts, i am happy for her and that I have the all summer alone…I am having the time of my life Gary! Flori

Subject: Thank you!
Dear Luanne, I’m sorry to have taken so long to write this letter of thanks and appreciation. I am so thankful and lucky that I heard about the retreat even though it was at the last moment, when there were only 3 or 4 spaces left! And I was overjoyed when you called me back and selected me to fill one of those spots. The week with Gary was absolutely fabulous and unforgettable. Never before had I felt as comfortable and at ease with a total group of strangers as during this week.
We came from so many different backgrounds, yet were united in our quest for improvement and enlightenment. I’m sure you’ve heard a lot of feedback already, and I know I would echo what others have said far more eloquently. One of the most memorable experiences was Gary’s healing, the laying on of his hands and energy–He touched me most profoundly, and I experienced an exquisite reaction that I will never forget!
These days I must be content with keeping in touch with Gary through his shows on the Progressive Radio Network, or on WBAI. I hope to meet you the next time Gary has a premiere of a new documentary–I’ll come up to you and introduce myself, and thank you again!! Till then I’ll be taking my powders and juices, running, race walking, practicing yoga, taking care of my mother, and trying to make each moment special.
Thank you and Gary and John, and Mitch, and everyone else who helped make the retreat happen! Sincerely, Rita

Hi Luanne, First of all I have to say: “WOW! what an experience that was.” Fred and I just got home and he is already thinking of calling Jeremy to go to Naples in August for the next one. I want to tell you and Gary that when I first got there, after the 2nd day I thought to myself “Oh God, I have 5 more days to go!” I thought I was not going to make it, but when it was over, I could not believe how fast it went by.
At the airport we wanted lunch, went to Fridays and every single salad had chicken etc., so we ordered one with no chicken, no cheese, no croutons and vinaigrette on the side. Then in Atlanta found a great healthy place ate breakfast and got salads to go to eat in the car going back to Destin. At home, we had soup and salad. I guess when there’s a will there’s a way. We want to keep this up!
Also this morning we went for our 3 mile walk, tried to do the “Luanne Speedy Gonzales” walk (we were not that fast!) but we cut down the time by 12 minutes, Yeah! so every day we’ll try to do it faster.
Hope to see you in Naples and please tell Gary that Fred and I really enjoyed
the whole experience. See you soon, Ampy

Good Morning Luanne: I am writing to thank you, Gary and all who contributed their time, energy and love to the retreat experience last week. It was a powerfully positive experience for me. Epigenetically being together was a treasure.
I am moving on with my life in a more measured, conscious way; taking one step at a time addressing and completing one issue at a time…Mastering it. What a novel concept, eh? Is not always easy – but – must be done, and it feels great to address, confront and move. Also, focusing on solutions…more novelty!!.
Also utilizing past materials you had shared with me from our past consultation. Am uncluttering and organizing with a vengeance…. formerly was not possible.- now my inner voice is telling me it is the 1st Thing I must do…..Also selling and giving away some things that have served me well. Shall write a note to Gary’s NYC office to thank him directly. Right now I thank YOU!!
Go confidently in the direction of your Dreams- Thank you- Blessings- Kevin

Hi Gary, Just wanted you to know that this past week had been a profound experience for me. I have been getting calls, texts and emails from people still thanking me and sharing their life altering experience. I’ll share a couple with you:
Magdalena!!!! Words can’t express how grateful and blessed I am to have met you. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to all of us during the most amazing experience of my life. I can only speak for myself, I started de-toxing in July and went on this retreat because of some very serious health issues I am going through. What I received from attending this retreat I will carry with me for the rest of my life. You played a huge part as i begin my journey and I will never forget you. Your thoughtfulness, kindness and selflessness are gifts that you’ve given me that I will cherish forever. I’m so happy you had a blessed birthday and feel honored to have spent it with you. I look forward to seeing you again and you will always be in my heart. You’re amazing and I’m fortunate to have crossed paths with you. Sincerely, Daisey
Dear Magdalena, It was lovely meeting you. Thank you for always being there. Always being there. I’m working with my diet and trying to stay in the moment. Thanks for your advice…small steps.
The retreat changed my life. I have so much to learn and so much to do. I have not felt this way since I was a kid. Perhaps we could meet for a healthy meal.
I look forward to going into the water with you at the beach. We will feel like a little kids. Your smile and giggles would be wonderful. Someday soon I’m sure.
Until we meet again. Your friend, Patrice
I also sent out an email yesterday to everyone: Hello everyone,
I wanted to take this time and connect with you all.
I wanted to say again, thank you for being such an amazing group. It touched me very much how you all felt it in your hearts to chip in to help however you could and get involved on a personal level. The chain line was the most touching site, I have never seen that happen.
I mean it oh so sincerely when I say…that my birthday this past week was the most special of my life and i feel so blessed and honored to have been able to share it with you all. I thank you for that.
I hope that you all were able to connect with that thing inside of you that you were hoping for. And remember…information without actualization, means nothing. Small steps, everyone, small steps.
Please feel free to contact me if you should ever need to, or if you have any questions on how to proceed on your journey.
See you all down by the pier!
Best wishes and support, Magdalena

Subject: Progress
Dear Luanne– I wanted to update you on my progress since the Texas retreat this past July. I am doing quite well..
First, I lost 20 pounds, and weigh close to my ideal weight at 145. In addition, my body fat went from 20.5 in Texas, to 13.7 currently. That is a change for the better.
My diet has improved dramatically, and I exercise more intensively. I am weighing giving up a secure job, and making a life change to move update to a sustainable community. We’ll see how that develops.
I recently had a complete blood chemistry done by the holistic doctor I have been seeing for the past 20 years. He is very impressed with my progress, and practically all my markers are within the normal range or better. Those that are still issues, we’ll be working on.
In summary, the Texas retreat is like a gift that keeps on giving. I know I am in command of my destiny and am willing to change to achieve a better life. In addition, I’m very interested in both community and sustainability, and will be learning a lot in both areas as part of my future direction.
Thank you and Gary and his team for being a catalyst for change.All the best- Bruce

Subject: My heartfelt appreciation for a life changing retreat
Dear Luanne, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for a most transformative, life altering journey. I will treasure the gift of these 6 days spent at the retreat in Mineola Texas and at the beautiful guest house. The value of the retreat exceeds the cost I paid to attend.
Certain cultures have their Shamans/ Medicine man/ healers/ their Seers, and other mystical beings. One year while visiting family in Haiti, a man approached me in the streets of downtown Port-Au-Prince and whispered something to me. When I later recounted it to my family, I was told in Kreyol that this was a ” Mèt Mayetis”; I believe that Gary’s energy flows from that same source. My progress has been ongoing, “Gary said the energy flow did not give me what I wanted but what I needed”.
I mentioned to you during our session that as a result of my radiation, I developed trismus. I underwent speech therapy, cranial lymphatic drainage, interior mouth massages and acupressure, all worked to a small degree. However, one energy session, 2 hours and a day later and now a week later, I am still feeling the residual benefit of what occurred in that white room. Some of the numbness on the right side of my face which was a by product of the surgery has all but dissipated, I have a wider mouth opening than before. I pray and meditate that I will continue for years to come to reap the reward of this day. “I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything, the sun came up like gold through the trees and I felt like i was in heaven” Harriet Tubman
I am keeping to the discipline and structure of the retreat, green and red drink, fruits and protein shake with maca and chia seeds, power walking albeit not at 8:00 am, and my main meal a day. I can’t forget my new best friend Teeccino. Thank you that was a great find. I am currently reading a book on Somatics, continuing my search towards attaining and maintaining maximum and optimal health and a positive mental disposition.
Harriet Tubman was such a wise woman, that’s why I love to quote her, “I freed a thousand slaves, I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves”. I like the word enslaved better. Imagine, how many people Gary would guide to wellness and put them on the path to staying healthy by implementing the practices we’ve acquired during this retreat. Many continue to be enslaved by “Big Pharma”, diseases that could be so easily cured with good nutrition.
I feel so blessed and so energized by my experience, I have been given a new lease on life and have taking greater ownership of my health. This is my recognition for this wonderful bounty. With Blessings and warmest regards to Gary, Yolene

Luanne, I am beyond grateful for the experience I had when I was there. It took me from broken the day I arrived to excellence and renewal by the time I left. My heart ached for what happened on Friday, and I just hope that even though there were people who will probably never be grateful for anything in their lives, please know that this person here in Bella Vista Arkansas got more positive from the retreat than if you multiplied their negativity combined by 10.
When I was first there I was reluctant and even negative about working, but through one of Gary’s lectures my heart changed and I knew I needed to have a servants heart, from that moment on that was my goal. Gary showed me an incredible amount of kindness, and I will continue to be blessed by his words. I truly hope that Gary does another retreat as I would be honored to experience it once again. Next time at a much different place in my life 🙂 Blessings, Michelle
PS.. I did my power walk this morning and smiled the entire time.

Gary,
I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend your retreat. It was a complete and holistic immersion into health and nutrition. I admire the purposeful work you do each day and count it a privilege to have met you and received first hand teachings and lectures.
It was an amazing and transformative experience for me. I feel like it has catapulted me in my life’s journey. I am continuing with all the protocols you instilled and am already seeing and feeling the results…which in turn motivates me to continue on!
Thank you, Terry

Luanne, thank you for all you did behind the scenes (or occasionally “in” the
scenes) to make the week I had there the most amazing week of my adult life. I
still very much look forward to your reaction to my film yet understand that
seven free minutes to watch it is a tall order when one is as busy as yourself.
Thanks again. -Randy

Subject: Hello dear Gary!
Hi Gary, I’m finally getting a minute to sit down and thank you for my lovely retreat experience! Your love and your loving calm…wise words…made my heart sing* I am happy to say, that I have stayed Vegan. Although I have never really eaten much meat, I have to say that your video clenched the deal for me of eating no meat ever again. I can almost see deer coming up to me and birds sitting on my shoulder or head! From being there and having been on your drinking and eating prodigal, I am feeling so much better. My cleansing didn’t really start until I got home….I just wish I could have stayed there longer.
I’m not all the way there yet, but you left a lasting impression that I’m internally grateful for. I loved the work study and all of the very fine folks on your team. I could go on and on of how beautiful they all are and how blessed and honored I was to have gotten to stay in the staff house with them.
None of you look your age! I want more of all of that in my life* Luanne looks like a little cheerleader. She is as beautiful inside as she is outside. I learned many powerful lessons working with your cooks too. They are very real and very special ladies….I just wish I had done my time in the kitchen earlier so that I could have gotten to know them sooner!
I know a lot of the work study people complained about the amount of work they had to do, and I think it’s too bad that they didn’t see the gifts or the beauty in it. If I came back as a work study…I would do it all over again. I also want to thank you for gifting me with your Nut Butter Strawberry Jam and your Cacao Bliss! I’m not sharing…Your almond butter is the best I’ve ever had* I look forward to seeing you again…you are now a part of my heart Gary.
With much love, Kellye

Gary, I want to thank you for the opportunity to volunteer at the last retreat as work/staff personnel. I did not reveal that I am a practicing physician. I wanted to see if what I was led to believe was true. I spent a great deal of time listening and observing. It is not unusual at retreat to de-stress and leave reinvigorated. This retreat was quite different and quite remarkable. At the end, people were leaving saying their lives were transformed. They were saying how this was “one of the most important weeks of their lives.” I saw individuals who had end stage disease begin to reverse course. As a physician, life style and behavioral changes are an after-thought and not a driving force in the treatment of disease. In what was nothing short of stunning and mind blowing, I personally saw a woman with end stage multiple sclerosis, who upon arriving at the retreat, could no longer walk for the last 8 years, bend her knee, etc.,
By the end of the retreat, she was able to stand up on her own and not only walk with a walker, but, ascend and descend stairs unassisted . I have never seen anything like this in my over 20 years of practice.
Additionally, she regained intestinal regularity, and no longer had lower extremity edema. If I was not there to witness this woman’s amazing physical transformation, I would not have believed it to be possible. I thought of all my previous patients with similar end stage chronic conditions who asked if there was something else they could try. I shutter to think how I told them there was nothing more I could do for them. Gary, you profoundly told the retreaters to not be confined by false limitations in their lives. This woman exemplified that instruction. There were others who revealed how they had developed new insights and how they couldn’t wait to continue this new way of life when they go home.
I have already shared this experience with some of my colleagues, and I thank you for enlightening me on a new way of approaching disease and health. My practice will never be the same.
Sincerely, Steven

Dear Gary, My visit at your “Villa Retreat” in Texas was a life enhancing experience. I was most impressed with you and I am grateful to have had the pleasure of getting to know a glimpse of you. My daily doses of you have stirred a strength and energy in me that is empowering. I truly respect and admire your character and compassion for everyone. I never met anyone like you and it was an honor to get to know you better.
As I communed with God in silence on my walk yesterday I thought of you. I paid more attention to my surroundings. I always appreciated nature but I do so with more clarity now. I realize your request for us to be silent at times was for our benefit and I value that lesson even more every day. I am making the time to be silent and to help me connect with my inner thoughts.
On the last day you looked at me and said “and you, you have to De-clutter”. I was grateful that you took the time to notice and share your insights with me. It felt like a window of opportunity and I wanted to memorize it. I feel that the table you set before me remains with me and I live more deliberately now than I have in the past. You gave me more confidence and trust in myself. I pray that God’s light shines through me as I felt it did through you.
Thank you for making a lifelong impression on me, I am very grateful. With love, Kathy

Subject: It’s LA from your first Retreat Group
Dear Gary, It’s been a month since we met, I remember during orientation/tour of your property you stopping me from complaining and from that moment I was aware of my thoughts. I could see my focus and felt the need to just be there and enjoy the moment.
You asked me to write you and tell you what I learned from you and the retreat. I learned many things and enjoyed myself so much that I didn’t know how to deal with my emotions of such strong love. Truly feeling what a natural high is.
In a time of drama, (lack of a better word) instead of asking everyone (including you) around me for answers look within myself for the answers or another words ask God.
You taught me that my body has a good amount of energy. My experience that you were such a great part of, Power Walking. That week was magical to say least. I had no idea what my body could do. I have only did 1.7 miles on my treadmill and never tried to increase that time or the speed in which I walked. I did that for 2 years without adding to my time. I now for sure do 3 miles and have already added more speed/time 4.0 to my treadmill and when I enjoy power walking outside, enjoying nature more than ever. This is a new lifestyle for sure. See picture below….. Last day of our morning walk.
I learned from you, I need to not let people bring me down who have negative energy and live this way on a daily basis. Also not hang around negative people PERIOD
I do prefer to eat and walk without talking. It is truly more enjoyable and I feel the benefits.
I am making my dream to own property where I can grow food for sale and for myself. I believe I can create this before next year.
Jim and I adopted a Dog from the local Shelter, I admit it was Jim’s pushing me but I was talked into it because of what you told me about animals.
I truly know I blessed for everything that I experienced at your home. I have never met anyone like you and I truly felt special just being in your presence. Sorry to be so blunt but I am honest and want you to know you really do have a friend. What I love about you the most is your kindness towards people and animals and how you share it. I hope to see you again and look forward to catching up on all my life changing ways.
This was on the last night and I felt like it was a gift. I got to experience an Armadillo. It was awesome seeing who they are and it’s energy. Really was special. Lydia

Dear Luanne, I am so very grateful for this last week. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Gary and his loving and caring support team. The entire week has been a blessing for me. The knowledge and wisdom shared by Gary has given me more confidence and awareness for the decisions that I must make on a daily basis. Gary’s insight helps me clear away the confusion I felt about the important steps which must be taken for a sound and safe future.
Thank you for all that you shared and being a beautiful example of what is possible for all of us. Please save a space for me at the April retreat in Texas. I look forward to continuing this learning experience and building on the knowledge that I have gained this past week.

The grounds look spectacular at Paradise. The greenery, the flowers, The little bridge. You did a phenomenal job as always. I look forward to seeing you there in January. Let me know when you come to Naples and I will take a ride over to visit.
I wanted to thank you for a lovely week. I’ve learned so much and feel there has been much growth. My flu is completely gone and most of the shingle spots are also gone. I found it totally amazing to watch and interact with the people that you had this week. To see the remarkable progress of Carol, Lindsay etc. was totally amazing and mind blowing. You never cease to amaze me with your wonder and powers.
John Q was amazing with his patients and time that he put into our pool exercises. I am sure I’ve lost many inches and feel the weight has melted off of me.
Leonard was great in the kitchen with his imaginary dishes. Everything was tasty and was very esthetically pleasing. I was so glad to reconnect with Luanne, she is a gem and definitely your right hand person. A real keeper!!! this was a trip well worthwhile. Have a safe trip back to New York. Look forward to speaking to you soon. Love Terry

Everything was great. Of course, working that stove was a bit of a challenge. But, I think everyone was pleased with the food. I got lots of positive feedback. There were plenty ingredients to work with and the assistants helped me to keep things clean and organized. The staff and guests were very supportive and encouraged me along the way. And, I really enjoyed working with Gary in the kitchen and attending his lectures. Overall, it was a really positive experience. I’m really grateful for the opportunity. Thanks so much. Leonard

Hallo Luanne, I sincerely hope all is well with you. Well, I am here to say Thank You, to you and Gary. Excellent. I really really enjoyed the retreat. Just a few days has made so much difference and has changed my whole outlook to life.
Everything about the Retreat, for me, is a lifetime experience. Those lectures, has been an eye opener in more, much more ways.
The Food: I have reduced my food portions, I eat less now and drink more of my own homemade juices. Exercises were activities I used to think little of. Thank you so much for the Power Walks, Yoga, Gym, Zumba, Meditation and all the rest of activities.
I didn’t have a clue what the week will bring. I came with an opened mind. I am glad I came. Last but not the least, your counseling and the protocol has been a tremendous help. I have spread the message to friends and family.
All the best and God Bless. Honora

Subject: Recent retreat in TX, thank you
Hi Luanne, Vlad from Vancouver, Canada here. Just want to thank you and Gary for taking care of my friend Ivana from Dallas at your this past week. I convinced her to call you to sign for the retreat as she was diagnosed with cancer, as you know. Ivana is my long time friend as well as all her family. She was battling her inner battle with a death of her father (and my friend) who died unexpectedly this year due to very bad brain cancer. At the same time, she was going through the separation and long divorce from abusive relationship. Her world was lately just one bad new after another, so I was pleased to receive an email about the retreat coming up and I forward it to her insisting she has to go there.
She “reported” me every day from there and I know even though she knew a lot about what you guys do already, she was completely blown away anyway 😀
I do listen Gary’s shows- and yes, acting on them too- religiously for past 8 years or so and spreading the knowledge among my friends. Thanks to that I was able open the eyes of many people. It is amazing what you guys doing and how many lives are you changing regardless of the obstacles from the “system”.
Anyway, I’ll keep checking and thank you one more time. Please, forward my thanks to Gary and I wish you all the best in TX. Maybe we’ll come by to visit you with Ivana when me and my wife will be visiting my wife’s family in Dallas- Vlad.

I returned home from the retreat feeling renewed with wonderful energy. I can’t explain, but the energy I experienced has been life changing. I want to hold onto it forever and share it with others.
I am still amazed how assessable and engaged Gary was throughout the week. His lectures were insightful and eye opening. It did not go unnoticed how well we were taken care of by the entire staff. I am grateful that Gary opened up his home and share his knowledge with us. There is a special place in heaven for his humble bright mind and heart of gold. Until we meet again, Tracey

My friend, Kevin, has raved to me about Gary for years. It is because of Kevin that I picked up the phone to call you and it is because of you that I attended the retreat. I am grateful to both of you, thank you.
Gary was able to see what I really needed and gave me the tools to fill my needs. This is far above anything I expected. I cannot express my gratitude enough. I will always be grateful.

Subject: Amazing!
Only 4 days – most of which were spent driving to and from the airport. But the results are nothing short of AMAZING:
Before the retreat:
1 – I ate around the clock; never satiated, always needing more.
2 – Whenever I had sugar or carbs of any kind, including fruit, I would HAVE to sleep – especially dried or concentrated fruits like raisins. If driving, I’d have to pull over to rest. If at work, my thinking would become foggy and I’d fall asleep in my chair…
3 – EVERY break at work was spent sleeping – even if only for 15 minutes.
4 – At home with no energy, I’d sit in front of the television for hours, unable to function in any other capacity.
After the retreat:
I – I’m never hungry. Eating 1 meal a day is sufficient and snacks are no longer necessary.
2 – Fruits, carbs and sugar don’t have an effect on me. (I noticed that when Leonard gave me a bag of nuts, raisins and cranberries for the drive to the airport – I ate them without thinking and then panicked about having to pull over and sleep – which never happened! I felt great!)
3 – I don’t sleep during my work breaks at all – even during the 1 & 1/2 hour lunch break at 3AM!
4 – I have not watched television at home once! I’m on the go non-stop.
Yes, the organic gourmet meals were great; and so were the lectures, the people and the special bonding time spent with animals, particularly the donkeys. The long, great talks with other staff members were encouraging and enlightening. All in only 4 days – miraculous! Jody

Hello Luanne- I just want to send a thank to Gary, you and all the staff at the retreat for the very educational & relaxing week. I was so stressed & would become irritated very easily. I came to the retreat with very bad allergy. My nose was always running and stuffy I would have sit upright to sleep. My allergy had gone from seasonal to year round. I would constantly have to take Claritin with lately I became immune to. Over the course of the past week, with the change in diet and fresh air I started noticing I was not sneezing like I did before but it had not completely gone away. I got home and continued juicing and eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Luanne I have to tell you, I have not been stuffy, sneezing (except for the normal sneezing) or sleep less. This retreat have made a complete change in my health. Gary’s lectures and videos have empowered me and I plan to stay the course to get back in shape.
**Special thank you Gary for the selfless work

Hello Luanne- It is good to hear from you. I hope you are well.
The retreat inspired me to make change. It was scary and I second guessed myself more than I can count but thanks to the support from my family I left my Corporate Fortune 100 Company job! After the retreat I took a month to reflect, made the decision, gave 2 months notice so I could go through all the guilt and insecurities of my choice as well as the freedom and hope of a different future – and then I left. It was one of the best and hardest decisions of my life! Now my relationship with my husband and my son has grown stronger, I have a greater sense of self, and I have more time. My new position is closer to home, is very flexible, and allows me to honor my life and not a schedule.
I found the change in job, along with the emotional detachment work Gary did – set me on the right track to healing and taking back my life. The emotional work is the hardest for me as a good ole Nebraska girl I hate to disappoint. I discovered I was living for others and to please them as that gave me confidence and a sense of worth. I realized I needed to find strength and confidence from within and that is what I am continuing to work on. Every day I try to put myself and my family first and I am no longer looking back. I have broken the old work patterns from MANY years.
We are working on some volunteer time as a family at the local homeless shelter and continue to be good stewards of the earth. We are becoming vegan and make exercise a daily part of our routine. I have lost 35lbs so far and feel better!
I cannot convey how much the experience at the ranch transformed my life. I am sure you will see me in the future. In the meantime I have my notes from being with each of you and memories that continue to give me hope each and every day for a greater sense of self and perseverance to get through this crazy world we live in.
I wish you all the best and thank you for reaching out. Take Care! Heather

The beauty of the land and the animals, particularly the wonderful insanity/ vanity of the peacocks. (And why do the guys get all the good looks?)
The warmth, caring & professionalism of the staff. Len & Maurice, Stephanie, Elaine, Summer, Sherril, John and of course Luanne, what a gift. The food goes without saying!
Thank you for encouraging me to do more than I ever believed I could. And I did take note of your words on ‘writer’s block’. Generosity was the baseline of the entire experience. With Appreciation and Affection, Susan

Dear Luanne- How are you? I am excellent and blessed to be able to witness miracles every day. The most recent was being a witness to things I saw at Gary’s retreat several weeks ago. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to take part the second week and meet so many amazing people and benefit from the energy and wisdom that came from so many corners of the people, grounds and animals at Gary’s retreat in Texas. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for the experience.
I benefitted in many ways, but they don’t compare to the health improvements that I saw in so many others. I already told you how I improved my strength and pain level through the exercise routines from John Q, the massage from Georgia. and Lenny’s magic ray gun. My soul was nourished through Summer’s yoga/meditation session and yours and Gary’s daily lectures. My body was strengthened through the incredible meals, through the harmony expressed on so many levels from the grounds animals and people associated with the retreat. My mind was inspired by seeing what is possible when one is as focused and committed as Gary is. I can’t say enough good things about the experience and I can’t wait to do it again.
Also finally, I want to contribute to Gary’s movement to create a better world. A world that’s rooted in honesty, love, fairness and respect for the environment. I’m not sure exactly how best to do this but I am a trained statistician. I am attaching my CV and want to volunteer to do statistical work for Gary if he needs someone with my expertise. I am still working full time so my time is limited but I am planning to retire the end of this year or early next. After that I would have much more time to volunteer.
Finally, in closing, I was so happy to meet you and talk with you in person. You are an amazing woman and Gary is lucky to have you on his staff. I wish I had someone like you on my staff. Much love and respect, good health to you, Gary, Jon Q. Floyd and the many staff members who made the week so remarkable for me. Stan

Dear Luanne- Thank you so much for the wonderful recipes and the photos are amazing, too. You and the staff at the retreat made it a truly life changing experience for me in so many ways. Not only did I give away my cane on the last day of the retreat, since I was sure I wouldn’t need it anymore, when I returned home to Bellingham. WA I started walking every day for up to an hour so far. I couldn’t walk to my mailbox without a cane or walker before the retreat. My walker has been donated to a worthy organization and I bought a pair of trainers a size too large as per John Q’s advice. I am going to walk like crazy!
As for the recipes, I was a vegetarian before the retreat and in the month since the retreat I have been vegan. I am Lovin’ it! My life feels back on track and I can deal with my grieving in a much more positive way.
A few of us have been staying in touch from west coast to east coast and it is great to get to know such wonderful. supportive, positive people.
How can I express my sincere thanks to you and Gary for making this possible except to say you have my undying gratitude. To you and all the people who made the retreat such an amazing experience, many thanks and prayers for your continued health and energy,

Dear Luanne and Gary- I am so happy to see the person who came back to me yesterday. When I met Hadiyah, she was not as happy a person, as free and confident, as the person she is now. There are no words to express the ecstasy in my heart at seeing Hadiyah as she is now. I knew that Mineola was a magical place, but literally I have been given back my best friend. I cannot stop crying since I saw her again. I am beyond grateful. I feel like we have the space to finally enjoy our friendship again and see if our marriage can succeed.
She literally told me : “I no longer see myself as a victim; I am a victor. She is filled again with her love of life, she had found her strength to overcome the many things in life that took it. That is all I wanted, was her freedom. I never imagined she could love me again, still, she has proved me wrong. Thank you for helping her find the freedom to be herself. She now fully understands why I have so do dedicated to the process of what takes place with our community there. With love, Max

Dear Luanne, Gary, Barbra, and all of the other Mountain Movers,
Please forgive me if I couldn’t express my gratitude for my amazing retreat experience while I was there. I have gone through many traumas since I was a child and as a young adult. The emotional trauma has made it hard for me to socialize and verbalize myself around others. My past Years of absorbing heartache and pain has made me feel emotionally and spiritually crippled. I hate the word victim, but I’ll own it. I felt like a victim of many things.
The energy work and each and every one of the staff members have moved mountains. You all have saved my life. I am forever grateful. The energy of the experience is still blossoming. When I got back home my mouth didn’t feel imprisoned from my past anymore. Within the short span of 7 days I felt restored. I gain an immense knowledge of knowing who I am and I have gained strength in understanding of my Power as a human being. I never thought I would say this because I wouldn’t wish my horrid childhood on my worst enemy, but if I knew that I was going to feel as whole and as empowered as I am today than it was worth it. I feel victorious now. This experience is a brilliant seed that I will share with the world.
Please pass this letter to all. Love and Light, Hadiyah

The Autumn retreat at The Villa, TX was an awesome healing experience for me, thanks to all the hard work the planners, organizers, and staff put into creating the wholesome environment for the healing of the spirit, mind and body. It truly offered the opportunity for revolutionary lifestyle changes for all those in attendance.
The nutritious vegan meals were not only delicious, but exquisite in its presentation, offering proof that a healthy vegan diet can not only be healthy, but can exceed the beauty in its presentation of any meals found in five star restaurants.
The grounds of The Villa are beautifully arranged with the Rose Garden, Socrates Garden, Greek statutes, Butterfly Hut, the lake, the mineral spa and swimming pool, the ability to interact and feed the animals, and commune with nature, offered us the opportunity to be in silence, as we destressed and journaled about our experiences, and identified and come to a resolve on what we want to change in our lives; truly a wonderful and peaceful environment.
The classes offered by the staff in sprouting, meal preparation, art, water aerobics, power walking, instructions on the proper use of the gym and strength training, yoga, meditation, electromagnetic frequencies (EMF), hormone balancing, gave us the tools to create a better quality of life for ourselves.
Thanks to Gary Null, for your vision, knowledge and experience in areas health, nutrition, the environment, social and world events, your lectures on innumerable important topics, and the awakening of our minds and your challenging us to become critical thinkers; to become activist in areas of our passions to effect changes in, not only our lives, but also in our communities and in the world.
Thank you Gary for your tireless and fearless commitment as a leader using your voice and resources for the advancement of the human race.
Special thanks to my benefactors that made it possible for me to be a part of the retreat that occurred from September 30 through October 13, 2018, that further contributed to my healing and my opportunity to exceed my limitations in the quest to finding my authentic self. To them I am eternally grateful. Their making my attendance to the retreat possible was the answer to my prayers. I only hope my presence at the retreat, the healing I experienced, my once again exceeding my limitations by completing another marathon (my second in six months at the retreats), be an inspiration and will motivate others to surrender their conditioned selves in their quest to find what’s possible in their lives. Sincerely, Ron

Hi Luanne, I am writing to thank you, Gary, Dr. Steve, John, Barbara, and the entire group for giving me the tools to change my life.
I am following a vegan diet, exercising, working with a trainer, walking, and I just joined a pool. I purchased some of the equipment John had us using in the pool, so I’m ready to start water aerobics. And, I continue to lose weight.
I feel so much better than I have in a very, very long time. Something that I previously thought to be impossible, is possible. It’s a new life. I didn’t get Dr. Steve’s email so I was hoping you could pass this on to him.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart! Carol

Hi Gary- I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible retreat gift! You are so wonderful and may only good things happen to you, your family and loved ones.
I am truly disciplined and determined to nourish my body and mind to the max and get my body shape back once I and for all! Thank you for you for inspiration and all you do! All that walking did me good. I can now get into jeans that were too tight prior.
Here’s my breakfast smoothie made with blueberries, beets, purple carrots, daikon radish, ginger, lemon, protein and superfood powders, good energy and good intentions. Next time I’ll add a teaspoon of black seed oil as well. Also my light dinner last night. Collards and bok choy with wild oregano and a few drops of hot pepper toasted sesame oil. Also I put together this delicious salad from Erewhon’s organic salad bar while I was there today delivering their weekly candle order. Love, Diane

Dear, Gary, Luanne, and the Mountain Movers, Please pass this to all.
From my last retreat experience, I felt as though I had let go of all of my fear, pain, and anger. With this new perspective I felt human again. I couldn’t imagine that there was anything else I could possibly do to benefit my development. When my husband told me about the idea of going to the retreat, I didn’t think I need it. But I thought I could use a break from the kids. So I came with no expectations beyond enjoying Gary’s beautiful villa and enjoying the lectures. I was wrong. After I had the energy work and spent time on the track. I realize there was something else brewing in my spirit. I went on the track like a skeptic. I wasn’t sure why I needed to connect to torturing my body on the field.
Somewhere between the simmering of the earth, the magic of the skies, and the whistles of the trees, I found myself Alive on the track. My body need to know I wasn’t just here, but fighting. My cells awoken to a new purpose. My body recognize that I am no longer in suffering mode. Now I know I can no longer reside in neutral. I look at the medal Gary gave me every day to simmer the passion in my soles.
As a result of my time at the retreat, my circulation, digestion, and my life has improved. Thank you all for allowing me the opportunity to be healed once more.
Love and Joy Always, Hadiyah

Hi, Gary- Just a quick note to tell you how cherished the time spent with you was for me. That last morning was packed with insight to chew on. I miss you – and all your wonderful crew that surrounds you – human and other. I am in catch up mode and picking up pieces here – that drop when I am gone. Managed to get my juice machines out and continuing to juice – so good!
It was so lovely to spend the kind of time with you that was rare – I know that when you took me out with you on pick-ups it was your way of showing me the way life can be when it is well organized and done in an effective manner. That did not go unnoticed and was much appreciated. Kathleen

I want to thank you ‘ Luanne, and Gary. I was asked by my dear friend Charles if I would come to the retreat as he didn’t want to see me die. He said ” go and see if you learn something new. If you think its b.s. so be fit “. When I first came to the retreat for the 1st time. I was very unsure of what to expect. Yet I have always have been open minded to learn new things. I didn’t know what the retreat was all about and only knew very little of this Dr. Null. I watched a few of his DVDs and read 1 Book of his “GET HEALTH NOW! I have fought off cancer 3 times. I was weighing 87lbs. Feeling very weak and hopeless. I thought if nothing else i would get time for me. To focus on how much i been threw in my short time I’ve been on earth .
My first few days at the retreat. I was detoxing from nicotine caffeine and sugar. I was amazed by how great the food tasted. the beauty of the villa. the deep connection with retreaters, animals and the plants. I got time to reconnect with myself and the earth. during one of Gary’s lectures a spark went off in me. I spoke with Luanne that made me see how it was time to make the change for the better me!. I knew it was time to step up. To learn a new life style. To start loving myself. To start thinking of what and how I want my life to be. To make a fulfilling life for myself, my kids, and to not just make changes with myself. Try to make changes in the world i live in.
I have been to every retreat since then. I learn something new every retreat I go to. I know if it wasn’t for meeting y’all, learning. I wouldn’t be on earth now. I’m sending a deeply heartfelt Thank you, for all the teaching y’all gave me and keep teaching me how to keep growing- you have been a true blessing to me in my darkest time in my life.
I thank you are the only words I know to use to express how grateful I am for everything !! Yours truly Icel. your friend, your patient

I want to send you a heartfelt thank you for saving my life. I was living the American life style. I was on a fast pace life. I was eating the trash food, living on coffee with white sugar.Being stressed over things I can’t control, allowing toxic people to use me for their self gain, smoking cigarettes. I was not exercising, as like most Americans. I would watch TV that told me what to eat, what to drink, how drama is the normal part of life, how stress is to be part of daily life .
While I was living the American life style. I didn’t realize how it was effecting my health, mind, and soul. At the age of 36 I fought off cervical cancer. When I was 42 I had asthma, end-stage breast cancer, anemic, and I was fading away. I was 87 lbs. I then knew I had to make a big change. I was ask to go to Gary Null’s wellness retreat. April 2018.
Within the week I was at the retreat, I learned how to de-stress, how my food, thoughts, and exercise was very important for my well being. If I never got this chance to see how life should be lived. I would have died. I wouldn’t get to see my 3 kids become adults. Thank you for showing me how life should be and how to take care of myself with this new life style. I’m now 114 lbs, cancer free, stress free, and loving life Yours truly, Ice

Just wanted to share some of what I witness on this retreat.
A woman came in from hospice with multiple sclerosis after Dr. Null did some energy work on her, this lady was able to walk stronger had much more energy and looked vibrant!!! Another woman had hip surgery, after her energy work, she was able to walk six miles! This man was limping badly on his left leg, after Dr. Null energy work, he walked as if he didn’t have any problems on his leg!
I am processing all that I’ve witnessed, it was a magical unbelievable experience for me! I have so much more strength abundance of energy and in a much more positive state of mind. I have also exceeded my limits by completing 10 miles, was never able to do before. Enjoyed the pool aerobics, yoga and meditation classes! I’m incorporating all that I’ve learned into my everyday life, moving forward in a more healthy lifestyle. Yesterday I continued the power work gain so much energy then went into the woods to meditate, did some more walking then a burst of energy, happiness, positively and a surge of power took over me!! was so happy that I did a dance in the woods!!! , thank all of you for your amazing work in healing others!!! Especially Dr. Null for his energy.
By the way, it was heavenly being at the retreat, sitting in the lavender field, sharing moments with the trees, the scent of roses as you walked by and power walking to the sent of honeysuckle! which is my favorite😊
Showering all of you with abundance of blessings, love, kindness and compassion. Which is who you are 🤗 Sonia

Dear Luanne- Have been telling everyone about the extraordinary experience I had at Gary Null’s Wellness Retreat – an eye opener, thought provoking, fun, educational and everything in between.
I shall never forget the young man in his 20s who was there with his Mom. He was in a wheelchair, suffering from muscular dystrophy, unable to control his tremors and shaking, shaking, shaking – difficult to observe. But a miracle happened – After receiving Gary’s guidance, the tremors disappeared! He could feed himself, including soup – His Mom took a video of him bringing the soup spoon to his mouth. Unbelievable! If I had not seen it myself, I might have said that’s not possible. But it happened! Amazing!
And so many people there were walking better. One man went home without using his cane. Day by day you could just see how people were improving. For myself, a diabetic, my blood sugar numbers came down 70 points in the first week, and this was without meds (which was my idea). My walking also improved, though I still use a cane – but when I arrived there was a step on the path to the dining room that I could not manage without help. When I left I could do that step, up and down, without assistance. Also amazing. I did not know that my feet were numb and had no feeling. They do now, and I believe this protocol has probably saved me from future amputation. Wow!
Speaking of the dining room, this was my first foray into vegan eating. Fabulous! The best food I’ve ever had – absolutely delicious. I looked forward to every meal. And you know I’ve been around awhile (78 years) and have dined at many restaurants and dinner parties around the world. No kidding – this was the best. Am looking forward to buying vegan products for a new lifestyle.
Am thinking of the man with Alzheimer’s who arrived with his wife. She had to do everything for him – he just seemed to stare into space. No more. He was carrying on short. conversations with anyone, walking more spry, and I saw him on the floor doing yoga, needing no assistance to get up. Another amazing!
So much to take in – the grounds are magnificent, beautiful roses, fragrant honeysuckle and other joys of nature including those gorgeous peacocks and other animals. The saltwater pool, the water aerobics…I just loved it all!
Speaking of love, it permeated the environment, the staff, the retreaters. Wish the whole world could experience this – our world would be so much better. So much t be grateful for. A new motto: With Gary Null all things are possible!
Much love and appreciation, Alyce XXX

Subject: Serpent Power!
Hello Gary and Luanne,
Here is a brief account of my incredible experience at the Villa. I came to this retreat with a strong intention that a deep learning or change was to occur. It started during the mantra class, with the Yogi Shyam. Something told me to position myself in the seat directly across from him in the front row. As the class began, I felt the shape of my body reconfigure into a triangle, with the base burrowing down into the earth, and the point soaring up to the sky. The immediacy and intensity of this startled me, so in fear, I tried to stop it. When I did this, I internally heard an intense roar of rushing water in the core channel of my body.
In that eight hours of power walking those 28 plus miles, of which I only stopped a few times for juices and to inspect my feet and knees for any injuries, I experienced such a profound level of physical and mental energy that the whole thing seems like a dream. I experienced zero fatigue in any of my muscles or in my general energy levels through the whole day, I could’ve kept on going forever it seemed. I literally felt no tiredness. Peace. -Duane

Subject: Retreat Testimonial
Gary and Luanne- I don’t think of myself as particularly eloquent… and I’m afraid that I’m a bit long-winded. But here is my take on the recent retreat:
Please use any parts of this testimonial in whatever ways will assist you. I am a 53 year old mother of two, who left the workforce 16 years ago to home school my children. I’ve been back in full-time work for 3 years.
I am not in poor health although I carry more weight than I should and am for more sedentary than I should be. I came to the retreat with my family, mainly to support my husband and oldest child, both of whom have faced health challenges. My husband and I also wanted our children to be exposed very early to a wholistic, explicitly conscious approach to both living their own lives and also to healing any diseases that they might encounter.
I was exposed in my late teens/early twenties to the concept that we are all capable of far more than we conceive through Outward Bound. However, I definitely did not know how to integrate those experiences into how I live my life – very much due to the early conditioning which Gary so eloquently discusses. I have had issues for 3 decades with extremely poor self-esteem, chronic insomnia, depression and an inability to envision & articulate a future for myself for which I have a passion. In the last 3 years, I have felt quite unable to conceive of a way out of the hole into which I felt I was sinking, a hole that felt like death would happen before I actually died.
The experience of the retreat was transformational for me in that it was a time out of my normal reality: a modeling of a fiercely honest, intensive but non-judgmental approach to critiquing how I AM living vs how I MIGHT & WANT TO live. The quiet contemplation, the opportunities to give myself care and the exposure to people who’ve overcome unbelievable challenges – all of these elements sparked in me a fierce determination to stop missing my own life through fear of mistakes, failure and loss of approval from others.
On the last day, when Gary offered the opportunity to those who wanted to power walk until they were tired, I decided to start being courageous by setting my intention to walk about half again as far as I had ever run (13 miles when I was 21yo) – so my goal was 18 miles. I thought that would prove to me that I could challenge myself – set a huge goal and meet it. I was so happy to meet that goal and part of me really wanted to stop. But part of me knew that I didn’t HAVE to stop. Coaching and energy work with Gary and other staff provided support so I was able to keep going. I was also invigorated by the idea that I could give and receive encouragement to the others still walking; the more of us that stayed walking, the more support we all had out there to push further. So four days ago I woke up and power walked 26 miles with no training.
I don’t think that I can adequately express how grateful I and my family are to Gary and all the retreat staff for this astonishing experience. All four us individually, as well as our family unit, have been transformed. That this man and this group of people through this retreat can bring about the physical healing that we saw as well as the emotional, psychological and spiritual healing that our family experienced… well, I can only say a heartfelt thank you and hope that many, many others who are suffering are able to experience this also. Best, Amy C

Subject: Fwd: testimonial Gary Null Retreat at the Villa, TX April – May 2019
Hi Gary- My name is Ron. After attending two (2) previous retreats as fundraisers for WBAI, where I received life enhancing techniques from Gary and protocols to better my life, I decided to attend a third retreat. In fact, Gary saved my life. As I continue to make great strides in my health, I wanted to enhance and strengthen my resolve toward perfect health, so I chose to attend the most recent retreat.
After being diagnosed with two (2) terminal end stage diseases, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, known as (CLL), and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder, also known as COPD, I was told the only available treatment for the CLL was chemotherapy and was offered oxygen tanks and inhalers for the COPD.
Being very near hospice care myself, imagine how those traditional treatments options made me feel. These methods were chosen by family members, and I watched their quality of life deteriorate until untimely deaths. The cause of death for my father was CLL and two (2) of my brothers, it was COPD. And now a close friend of 56 years recently passed, also with leukemia, using traditional western methods.
I felt there had to be other alternatives. After listening to Gary talk about reversing disease using a plant-based diet and alternative modalities of healing and seeing the lack of results and the death of family and friends, I chose to attend my third (3rd) retreat and it has paid great dividends. After two (2) comprehensive exams, by pulmonologist, my lungs show no scarring or obstruction. They say my lungs are completely clear.
After a bout where my blood platelet count dropped dramatically due to the loss of my partner of 52 years, going into a deep depression and going off the protocol and back to an unhealthy lifestyle and diet, prompting my oncologist to schedule a chemotherapy this past January, I was given another protocol by Gary which restored my platelet count to normal range in one month, thereby eliminating the need for chemotherapy. My oncologist said three (3) times during the exam “Whatever you are doing, make sure you keep doing it”. These are results that are not found in medical books and are unprecedented in western medicine. What I find odd is that he never asked what I was doing.
Might I note that on my first retreat, I completed an ultra-marathon of 30 miles, and additional marathons on each of the last two retreats. That’s 3 marathons in just under a year. Who does that with diagnoses of 2 terminal in-stage diseases? You won’t find that in the medical books either.
I am only one of many to have overcome life threatening challenges. I have witnessed those lowering their high blood sugar over 100 points, those with high blood pressure come off their medication, MS victims complete a marathon, those suffering with obesity lose weight, cognitive improvements for those with Alzheimer’s, people arriving to the retreat in wheelchairs walking unassisted, with some achieving these results in just 1 week. I’ve seen others, with and without health challenges, learn new techniques for improving their quality of life, leaving the retreat healthier and happier. Even those without health challenges can learn techniques for taking their quality of life to new level.
I’m not suggesting that everyone will see such miraculous results in just one week; for us all, it’s about lifestyle changes, adopting a plant-based diet, proper exercise, stress management, proper sleep, a healthy environment and being in nature.
I experienced and learned about these things through Gary’s lecture, classes, viewing his documentaries, having excellent, well presented vegan cuisine, and being in nature, journaling in the rose garden, watching the butterflies in the butterfly hut, meditating, water aerobics in the mineralized swimming pool, yoga, massages, and working out in the gym. What I’ve learned from Gary at the retreats have saved my life, and for this I am forever grateful.

Gary…I’ve been to retreats before, but your retreat last week was the first ever that focused on a HOLISTIC approach to health and healing. I attended your retreat for my son who has MS, but got way more than I expected. Your focus on the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social aspects of the attendees gave me and my son applicable life skills that will carry us throughout the rest of our lives.
As you know my son, Quinnell, who is 31 years old, has had MS for the past 14 years. A virile young man at the age of 17 at the onset of the disease- now, prior to your retreat, a young man affected in such a way that it left him a shadow of his former athletic and academic self. His Parkinson like tremors in hands and arms disabled him from writing, drawing, swimming and otherwise experiencing life as the teenager he was when he developed the illness. The eye tremors caused everything to be in constant motion causing him to close his eyes to keep from feeling dizzy. The spasms and weakness in his legs rendered him unable to walk within 4 years of diagnosis and sentenced to the past 10 years in a wheelchair. An architecture major in college and an avid swimmer, the disease robbed him of the things he identified with that made him feel whole.
After years of therapy; treatment from what I thought were the best doctors; and medications, one stronger than the next (that promised to keep the disease at bay- but didn’t) the MS progressed to the point where pain medication no longer worked and he would require a pump in his stomach to render a so called “safe” dose of the medication on a continual basis. This is when he said ENOUGH!
Now that he was ready, we signed up for your retreat and after the first day of vegan, healthy eating, exercise, calming scenery, your lectures, energy sessions and other therapies, the tremors in his eyes STOPPED and he saw things in still frames in a way he hasn’t in 14 years. The leg and hand tremors became so minimal, he could eat soup with a spoon and drink from a cup. He could stroke his own beard for the first time in 6 years! He even stopped taking the tremor and pain medication after only 3 days because he said he no longer felt the ailments that caused the need for the medications. After 5 days he was sitting up straight in his wheelchair and able to stand (with assistance) with straight legs that prior to the retreat would buckle under his weight. Between the conflict resolution lecture by Luanne and the entire retreat experience, he is now able to stand up for himself both figuratively and literally!
No one can tell him, or me that a plant based diet and a healthy, natural approach to life doesn’t cure disease. We know it took a while to get to this point but with food and nature as our medicine, we are excited about the impending journey to wellness. I even got an extra added benefit of losing 8 lbs. myself.
We want to thank you Gary for sharing your gifts with us. Our minds have been stretched! You have made a young man who was losing hope happier than he’s been in a long time; and given THIS mother the best Mother’s Day present ever!
Jilletta and Quinnell

Subject: Dr. Gary Null’s May 2019 Retreat
Let me begin by expressing that this week at Dr. Gary Null’s retreat was a huge tune-up and eye-opening experience once again.
My story goes back 18 years ago when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer. with an inoperable tumor in my chest wall. My perception of Chemotherapy was that it was a poison, and certainly not going to save my life. I reached out to my dear friend, Luanne, who instantly introduced me to Gary Null, and his cancer protocol. I followed this protocol diligently for at least 12 years. I also informed Dr. Null that I was the first documented case of Stage 4 Breast Cancer in NYS that went into remission with no Chemotherapy. My oncologist also asked me for Dr. Null’s protocol so that they could consider using it in the new Alternative Wing of the North Shore University Hospital, Great Neck, N.Y. which they are utilizing to this day.
A time went on, however, I went from Vegan Diet to Vegetarian diet and was recently diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma. I had not been exercising and was carrying excess weight. I decided to reach out to Dr. Gary to get a royal tune-up. The week I spent at this retreat was a rejuvenating and eye-opening experience. With great gratitude I received an individualized protocol, sound therapy, massage therapy, and intense healing and energy therapy with Dr. Gary, which brought about a huge purge in myself, as well as losing some weight which I desperately needed to do.
I witnessed not only my own healing, but in awe watched others express their testimonials and observed their daily improvement. The Master Chef on board was an inspiration to us all as we enjoyed the absolute best Vegan cooking.
Thanks to Dr. Gary Null and his team, my life and well-being is on an upward swing. I came home with an exuberant and full of happiness attitude, knowing that I can beat this cancer. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Gary’s protocols, his brilliance, and his abilities to direct and change mine and other’s lives for the better.
Thank you so much for this exhilarating opportunity, one that I will never forget. I sincerely hope that this will encourage others to experience this fabulous learning and healing experience. Deepest regards, Gail

I just returned from Gary Null’s retreat and i wanted to share this with him and you. After suffering 3 strokes I felt like my body was failing me. Most people with 3 strokes fall into a deep depression, but from listening to Gary’s inspiring shows I decided not to go there. Even though I was dragging one of my legs around due to my strokes, I forced myself to walk, albeit awkwardly. I decided to attend Gary Null’s retreat in order to reflect on my life up till now and possibly learn more about who I am and to explore my health potentials.
I stayed for 2 weeks. I embedded myself in nature, and found myself surrounded by beautiful rose gardens, dozens of birds and several animals, and fresh air. I experienced delicious vegan cuisine organic juices and learned so much about organic cooking and eating; I was given so much love and personal attention from the staff as I attended lectures and classes to help me be my very best.
When I first arrived I struggled with walking one mile, dragging my leg with each step and my gait was unsteady. My doctor had told me that this is how I would be from here on in. I began to strictly follow Gary’s protocols at the retreat. Much of my time was spend in reflection and introspection. The last day of the retreat Gary invited a group of people to “walk until they got tired”. Well, I received energy work from Gary and amazingly with each mile I completed I felt more energy, a steady gait and no pain at all. It was at this point that I learned to release myself from old limits that prevented me from growing and my retreat ended with ME completing a 27 mile marathon with amazing ease! I feel much more in control of my life, my body and my health and am forever grateful for this amazing experience that NO ONE should miss. Kevin

Dear Gary Null.
I didn’t expect that the retreat week I spent with you would affect my life so positively. I didn’t come for my personal reason but just to have a relaxed week with my son Vito. But something extraordinary happened to me. 10 months ago I had surgery on my right hip and since then I struggled to walk for 5 minutes because the pain was impossible. After 5 days of retreat where I learned so much about living a healthy lifestyle, including juices, organic food (made to taste so delicious, I had no idea), really relaxing in a backdrop of the most awe inspiring rose gardens throughout the property that I have ever seen, thinking and just “being” far beyond my old limits which seemed to set me back for the past several decades, a miracle happened to me…I power walked 6 miles in one shot! I am still in shock and that is pure truth.
I felt so supported by you and the staff, more than I ever imagined, and my son was so proud of me as I sped up to the finish line with no pain, and with grace and ease…and YOU were there when I finished as well. That meant so much to me.
I will continue to do my walk and cook your vegan recipes from your book and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the most incredible life changing week of my life. Thank you very much! Maria

Hello Luanne- I just wanted to share some remarkable experiences I have had over the last 3 weeks. Just recently I was in the hospital in intensive care near death. I had double pneumonia and the flu My blood sugar was over 300, I had neuropathy in my hands and feet, heart palpitations, hepatitis C, Boils on my body that would not heal. I had memory and cognition loss, I had trouble with my balance and equilibrium. I was waking up 4 to 5 times a night to go to the bathroom and I was depressed because everything around seemed to be going wrong.
I asked Gary for help. He spent many hours counseling me & had me look into the past and see where bad decisions I made years ago are showing up in my health conditions today. It became apparent that in choosing a lifestyle of partying with alcohol & drugs there was going to be a price to pay in my health. Even though it was over 20 years ago, the damage had been done. Because there was no action to counter the negative effect, cell damage continues. So Gary put me on 4 protocols to address diabetes, heart disease, neuropathy, memory, cognition, pain in my joints, hepatitis C.
As a result after being here for 3 weeks my blood sugar went from 182 down to 81 this morning. The neuropathy in my hands and feet are cured, my hands and feet are smooth and normal to the touch. I sleep soundly through the night and wake up refreshed each morning. The extreme pain in my knees and back has lessened considerably where I can walk normal and even get back to power walking and bike riding. My heart condition has cleared up and I feel stronger physically than I have in a long time. My equilibrium has balanced out and I have no fears of falling. The boils on my body are healing, and I have every assurance that the hepatitis C will be gone from my body in due time. SIMPLY PUT GARY SAVED MY LIFE
In conclusion I want to thank Gary for his generosity in inviting me to this healing experience at no cost to me also his wisdom of nutrition and his insight on the human experience. I also want to thank Gary for speaking to my brother about his health conditions which are more severe than mine and looking forward to bringing him down to restore him to good health. With Gratitude- Mike

Dear Gary and Luanne- At 91 years old my husband was diagnosed with dementia. I was told by doctors that “nothing could be done” so I began to adapt to his declining mental and physical functions. When I brought him to Gary’s retreat he hardly spoke, he had no memory, no sense of humor, he was in what has been described as a stupor, never smiling and barely walking and existing with a concaving body. He shuffled with a cane and could not involve himself with any daily activities such as bathing, shaving, toileting himself or eating. I was helping him with all of that, which was an ongoing and exhausting effort.
After spending 2 weeks at The Villa last year my husband was walking a mile, began to have short but very appropriate conversations, his energy was much better and overall he was in a good mood. I felt like I was beginning to get my husband back! I was amazed at the level of improvement so much so that it moved me to tears. We went home with hope and a protocol for him.
6 months later I brought him back to the Villa and he was put on a new protocol and even more changed:
He began asking questions, he had articulate conversations with Gary and the guests, his memory was restored and he even was able to point out accurate historical perspectives during Gary’s lectures; his sense of humor returned and he found himself laughing with the other guests; his posture improved such that he was walking upright and only held on to his cane for security purposes.
He worked out in the gym to increase his strength and by the end of the week he was shaving himself, brushing his teeth and using the bathroom on his own. He listened intently during the workshops- and he even danced…for then first time in 10 years!
We were told that this was not possible by our doctors, only deterioration and then death. And now we fill our days with love and joy once again, something I thought would never happen at his age with a diagnosis of dementia.
Gary, you, Luanne, the staff and the atmosphere at the Villa saved my husband’s life and I am eternally grateful to you!
With great admiration and respect, I thank you, Hisako

Subject: saving my life and greater meaning
I had an opportunity at the last retreat to meet people from all over America. We all had something in common. We were . all searching for truth that would help us through our multiple crises. I saw what I would have never had believed possible. I won’t call them miracles, but I’ll simple say had I not been there anyone else would have said it was not possible.
I saw a man who had had 3 strokes who could not walk without losing his balance. He was dragging his leg which was paralyzed from the stroke. When I left he was able to walk nearly normally, with no loss of balance.
I saw a man who I met at a previous retreat – the first time I met him he could not look up or talk. He was confused; his wife had to do everything for him. At the end of that first week, he was sitting in Gary’s lecture; Gary asked a complex question and he was able to answer it after holding up his hand. All 40 of us were shocked. Not only did he answer him, he was correct. He had a sense of humor again and would carry on conversations with the other guests. His posture changed; he was sitting straight up, making eye contact with people, telling jokes and his wife said that for the 1st time in years he shaved himself, toileted himself and asked her to dance! She was crying profusely. All of us started to cry when she said “I have my husband back”.
I saw a person who had eating disorders at a previous retreat and had to be fed by a stomach tube; he was always fatigued; and then by the end of the week he was eating regular food, first time in 4 years. He went for long walks, 5-10 miles by the last day of the retreat, whereas before he could not do a half a mile. He said his whole life was transformed.
This was my 4th retreat. At previous retreats I had met multiple MD’s- oncologist, podiatrist, internal medicine, They too witnessed and discussed what was not medically possible. I had extensive conversations with them. They just did not know what to make of this.
When I left this time I left with a gift that deluded me the last 3 retreats: my experience was that I had cervical cancer, then at the age of 40 I got a diagnosis of end stage cancer. I was anemic and grossly underweight; I was depressed and for my entire life, I suffered with severe asthma. By the time I finished the protocol I was cancer free, gained 20 pounds, had no more asthma and was no longer anemic. But that was just the first step. I come from a more challenging background that the other guests. I am the 19th child in my family. My father was married to 6 different women in his life and I was born to the last of them. We were poor and illiterate. There was also a great deal of abuse- not by my Dad, but by my mother.
She came from an abusive background and was not prepared to be a mother. She stabbed me in the stomach on one occasion and beat me unconscious on several others. As a child you don’t know how to respond. You want to be loved and cared for, not to be hurt and demeaned.
This left some extreme emotional scars.. I guess only at this last retreat I was able to process all of this accumulated pain and to forgive my mother. And to free myself from all of the harmful conditioning that I grew up with. I was finally able to understand who I am as human being and the power of positive choices. I have read dozens of self empowerment books. And I’ve watched countless numbers of positive thinking videos. None were the keys to open that door. Now that door is open and I am free to make only positive, happy and healthy choices in life. I am not alone. At least 70% of the guests that I spoke with had similar transformative experiences.
I also met a few very negative people who spent their days gossiping and encouraging others not to enjoy their experience. And for the first time in my life I told those people that I was there to heal and grow, not to hear your emotional vomit. I now know how to deal with negative people and not to allow their energy into my life. I look forward to the next retreat. I now have the courage at home to start my life over.
The most remarkable transformation I’ve experienced in my life happened 2 retreats ago- and a person named Ron was there. When I first met him he had 2 terminal end stage diseases- COPD and leukemia. He could barely walk and used an inhaler. Within 2 weeks I saw this person who seemed deeply depressed- and you said to a group of us, that he had a choice- either go into hospice care as both of his MD’s suggested, as did as his brothers and fathers who died like that- or attend the retreat. He didn’t know what to expect. He was put on an advanced protocol.
By Friday morning of the second week Gary asked who would like to go for a walk. 7 people said they did. All of them had advanced diseases. Gary was there along with Luanne, medical doctors and nurses to observe and be a support system for them. And what I saw left me speechless- there are no words to describe it accurately. Within an hour all 7 people continued to walk! So I went and got other people to cheer them on- we had no idea how long they would go for. The entire staff and guests came down to cheer them on; we even set a refreshment table and had a lap counter.
About 5 hours later, virtually all 7 people completed a 26 mile marathon. But Ron completed a 29 mile marathon and he felt better than he has ever felt and he was breathing normally! I know marathon runners; usually they are very conditioned athletes-it takes a year or more to train for it. And still many don’t finish or practically collapse when they do- so how in the world do 7 very ill people complete what would be called a physical impossibility? But they did. It was filmed and everyone was taking photographs.
One of those people had advanced MS and told all of us the week before that if she walked ½ block she’d have to rest for 6 hours. She could not walk in a straight line and frequently lost her balance. But on this day she had perfect balance, phenomenal energy and she finished like a champion. 4 of them finished together, including a woman who dropped over 100 points on her Blood Sugar the week before with no medications.
So many of us were weeping out of joy. I tried to explain this to people but they just don’t believe it. But it was real and it happened. Clearly there is more than one approach to health. I am now cancer free, healthy and so happy because I experienced this. Ice N

Subject: Dr. Steven L
My name is Steve. I have been practicing medicine for over 25 years. I was board certified in the mid 90’s. I’m also a scientist. I was involved in research in molecular biology at the university level. To this day I still conduct experiments at home, though not for publication, but rather for professional curiosity. I have spent thousands of hours reading medical and scientific journals.
I first heard about Gary Null while being a listener of Pacifica Radio. Initially I was skeptical to Gary Null’s philosophy and approach. His approach to health was novel compared to the mainstream orthodox model from which i was trained. I was very intrigued by his unconventional means of healing. Further, what kept me listening was his constant sighting of scientific, peer reviewed articles.
Because of my skepticism, for a solid year I would take notes during each show and later that night I would research scientific articles to verify what Dr. Null cited on his program. I found that everything Gary Null cited on his program was backed up by scientific, peer reviewed research. I continued to listen and started reading his books. I started with “The Clinician’s Handbook of Natural Healing” and the “The Complete Encyclopedia of Natural Healing.” Both are reference tools I use to this day.
I adopted the protocols which Gary Null has developed. I had no major medical conditions, but in time, anecdotally, I noticed that my hearing improved significantly. I had more energy. I was sleeping better. I have been a competitive athlete for decades. I realized that many of the aches and pains associated with the grind and repetitive impact from sports, as well as the arthritis from broken bones suffered during competition, were greatly diminished for the first time.
I had heard about the health retreats and the testimonials from people who went there. Even though I was changing my understanding and approach to health, it was hard for me to process how these people were describing long term chronic diseases and leaving the retreat a week or two later with major improvements. I had heard that Gary had nothing to hide, was completely transparent, and had an open door policy. With intrigue, curiosity and a heavy dose of skepticism, I decided to call Dr. Null and asked if I could come to a retreat and observe what was happening.
After my first retreat I left with more questions then before i came. I discussed this with Gary and he invited me back. Since then, I have been to approximately 10 retreats. Seeing is believing, and what I have seen is amazing. Everything I had been taught in my medical training was being turned on its head. Gary explains at each retreat that he “does not treat or diagnose medical conditions.” But what he does do is introduce a completely different paradigm towards living.
First he teaches people to break through all limitations. Then comes trained exercise; nourishing the cells of the body through tasty, high level nutrition; and then immersing oneself in knowledge, nature, beauty, love, humor and happiness.
Though there is plenty of time to go off into the beautiful environment and reflect, meditate, journal, etc, there is so much to do. The day starts out with a lecture while warming up for exercise. After exercise, there are delicious, healthful smoothies, lots of fresh fruit and juices. In fact, people are encouraged to drink juices all day long. Both the yoga and the meditation classes are wonderful and aid in re-balancing.
At the retreat, participants are introduced to gourmet vegan cuisine. Yes, besides being a scientist, Gary is a gourmet chef.
People are introduced to growing their own food. Yes, besides being a scientist, Gary is an organic farmer.
People are exposed to animal husbandry. Yes, besides being a scientist, Gary has an animal sanctuary and has saved thousands of sick and/or abandoned exotic animals. At the retreat people can communicate, pet, and commune with animals rather than eating them.
People are exposed to exercise. Yes, besides being a scientist, Gary is a world class athlete.
Gary also brings in other experts from around the nation. There is, in my opinion, one of the nation’s best masseuses. People are so relaxed and have less pain after a session with Elaine.
Jon Q is the personal trainer. He loves what he does and it shows in his enthusiasm. Besides working with people in the gym, everyone loves his water aerobics classes where fun and laughter is non stop . Definitely a retreat highlight for all. We have been so lucky to have on occasion, a former NASA scientist who had developed therapies with energy frequencies. This brilliant man exhibits and explains his knowledge of energy healing.
Besides Gary in the kitchen, highly sought after accomplished chefs are brought in to prepare delicious, healthful food with beautiful presentation. We have often been lucky enough to have chef Leonard who specializes in gourmet vegan cuisine. When motion pictures are being filmed, they frequently reach out to Leonard to prepare meals for the famous actors.
Other classes at the retreat include art as healing, yoga, guided meditation, and cooking classes. There are also classes in fermentation and sprouting. Here students can learn to ferment foods and grow micro-greens while increasing their health and self sufficiency.
Everyone has the opportunity to have an in depth consultation with Luanne, who is one of the nation’s leading holistic, integrative nurses.
The staff at the retreats is comprised of handpicked individuals from around the nation who are kind, caring and always helpful. Gary calls them the “A Team.” Many of the staff are professionals, including nurses, doctors, businessmen, and even a judge. No individual is more important than anyone else. The main focus is to make the experience special, transformative, and one that you cannot find anywhere else.
As an observer, I have been astounded at the transformations I have witnessed which take place in a very short amount of time. Through my training and career, I have worked alongside the most highly regarded physicians in the nation, however at the retreats, I am seeing things that I have never seen in a clinic or hospital.
By Friday at the end of each retreat I see the transformations and hear testimonials. These are things for which I have no explanation, and things for which i did not believe were possible.
There was a woman who flew in from India. She was the wife of a medical doctor, who developed end stage multiple sclerosis. She was now relegated to a wheelchair. I saw with my own eyes this woman stand up and walk for the first time in 10 years. How can this happen in two short weeks?
There was a man who came to the retreat who had two lethal diseases; end stage COPD and leukemia. When he came, he told me he loved ballroom dancing, but couldn’t even do one dance with his grandchildren. He was eager and had a tremendous will to transform. In two short weeks, he was a changed man. The last day of the retreat he completed a marathon! That is why I keep coming back.
I have seen a man with dementia who came on day one with his head drooping down and no ability to dialogue. In two weeks this man was walking hours a day, cracking jokes, and participating in cerebral discussions.
I have seen a woman who made dramatic progress in her breast cancer in two weeks. She has been to a total of three retreats and is now cancer free.
I have seen many people with diabetes, some who were insulin dependent, regain their health and normalize their glucose levels.
I have seen a number of individuals come to retreats with painful and disabling arthritis, and by the end of the retreat are significantly more limber, pain free and walking several miles a day.
In fact, on Friday, at the end of the retreat, a group of people, most with severe medical issues and no background in athletics, are challenged to break through their limitations. They are told to “just walk.” Many of these individuals finish with completing a marathon!
These accounts are all side effects of healthful lifestyle changes; transforming and living an authentic life with love, knowledge and happiness.
As I stated earlier, I am a scientist. Though scientific method requires reproducibility of testing and results, this clearly is not possible with what i see at the retreats. These retreats are not set up to be experiments, but rather a place of nurturing and challenge. Having said that, i have observed dozens of people with severe medical conditions who experienced those conditions ameliorate or reverse. What I have witnessed and experienced is truthful.
There are no tricks, illusions, gimmicks, or snake oil. I am simply illustrating my observations from someone with a mainstream, orthodox scientific and medical background. Besides myself, there have been many other physicians, nurses and health professionals at other retreats. In fact there were 7 doctors at one retreat, all of whom were witness to the unexplainable phenomena of transformational healing.
Also as I stated earlier, Gary explains that he doesn’t discuss, treat or diagnose any illness or disease. He does however, give people tools to improve and balance their lives.
Still I leave each retreat not really being able to explain the phenomena I am seeing. When I ask Gary, he always seems to chuckle, pat me on the shoulder and tell me that some things have no explanation in our current understanding of science.

Upon returning home from Dr. Gary Null’s Retreat May 2019, I have been tuned-up once again, with inspiration and motivation to be “The best Me.” Since the retreat, I lost 10 pounds (and am eager to lose more!) and I continue eating vegan and exercising daily to lose more weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle which will keep me away from cancer. The energy healing I received from Dr. Null was exhilarating, and made me once again a soldier, not a victim to my disease. I am forever grateful to Dr. Gary, Luanne and the amazing staff and look forward to my forever -life relationship with them all. Thank you for this fabulous experience. I hope to return again soon.

Subject: Gary Null’s 2019 Spring Retreat and I
Dear Gary- I am writing to tell you how my experience at your recent retreat has revitalized my life.
BACKGROUND:
I have followed your lessons in healthful living for the last 40 years and used them well. Until about a year ago I had maintained a generally high levels of health in all areas of my life – often to the amazement of other people. I’d been somewhat of a role model and teacher for others regarding how to move forward, rather then downward in the aging process, always citing you, Gary as my primary teacher in this process.
However, about 2 years ago I began to feel the ravages of aging which felt beyond my control. When my balance began to fail, depression set in; because walking 4 to 5 miles/day had been both a joy and a remedy for other challenges in my life. I felt myself sinking into previously unfamiliar territory called “Helpless Island” – caring less and less about my self-care, and telling no one of my predicament. But I kept continued listening to you and reading your work.
Then one day I heard a testimonial by a 90 yr. old man about his retreat experience, and decided to try it.
MY RETREAT EXPERIENCE
Due to my initial state of mind when entering the retreat, my first few days felt quite ordinary, except for the delightful roommate sent to me from the Universe. My enjoyment of the beautiful surroundings was hampered by my impaired mobility. The food was phenomenal. Your lecture on personal responsibility presented an additional twist to your already compelling attitude on that issue.
However, your “energy treatment” amazed and perplexed me. I failed to react to it, as others reported, in any perceivable way. The next day I asked you how that experience might affect my ongoing recovery, and I heard you say (paraphrasing) that it would catalyze future work I might do for myself. I kept that in mind as I searched for answers.
Gary, I’d been home for 1 month before I consciously felt the impact – physically, emotionally, and spiritually- of that energy experience. I feel more in control of my life now, more focused than I have in years, performing the necessary dietary and exercise routines, walking farther every week and enjoying it.
As result of my retreat experience, as well as my direct contact with you, Gary, I feel like a renewed person at the age of 85 years.
Thank you, Luanne, and your entire staff for making this possible.
Sincerely, Clara

Subject: Testimonial, revisited
After the tragic loss of my life-partner and soul mate of 54 years, I was lost. I was overwhelmed with sadness so profound, so deeply painful that I thought I had nothing to live for. I began to spiral downwards and no longer focused on my diet, exercise, or any positive protocols. Within a month my health declined substantially; I was relapsing with my leukemia. The doctors were so concerned with my blood chemistry that they scheduled several rounds of chemotherapy. I had given up my will to live. And then, that prophetic phone that Luanne made, got my attention. She said that I needed to be in a supportive, loving, environment. She invited me to come to the retreat with Gary Null as his guest. I hesitated, thinking what’s the point? My life had gone from technicolor beauty in everything to dark gray. Finally I decided maybe there might be an answer. Thank God I attended. Quite literally it saved my life- again. I delayed my scheduled chemo.
Gary shared with me that I could start dis-easing again if I allowed my negative emotions to dominate me. Grieving is normal and necessary, but I allowed my grieving become my entire identity. It was all I could think and speak about. Once again I was given the energy of hope and possibilities. Gary told me to sit quietly with nature and let it help in my healing process. I also had energy work and once again had a profound experience. I did not know a person could cry that many tears with deep sighs. And then it was if an energy had wrapped itself around me and a lightness of being manifested.
Then I began to watch documentaries, such as Happiness, Honor Yourself, How To Find Happiness In An Unhappy World and Love that Gary shared with me. And this allowed me to move forward into a new sense of emotional freedom. He counseled me and helped me to realize that I was not grieving the loss of a person, but the loss of what she provided for me emotionally, physically, her support and all the things we shared together. Gary shared with me that I could start dis-easing again if I allowed my emotions to dominate, if I made grieving my identity, and that suffering keeps us from living a healthy life.
Now I was able to reconfigured my perception of the painful event that immersed me in self pity and for the first time understood that it was not merely the loss of this treasured relationship, but rather the loss of all that I had been given emotionally, physically, even financially from my partner. With this new understanding, I will for the rest of my life treasure the memory of her, but know that I now must have the focus, discipline and strength to take care of myself. By the end of the week every day was a brighter and emotionally lighter day for me. My senses were rejuvenated, taste/ color/ music were again fully appreciated. When I returned home to Atlanta for the first time in my adult life I knew I could not live through or be enabled by another- I had to stand on my own 2 feet.
I went to my oncologist to get new blood work a few weeks later. I was told that my blood chemistry was good & that I did not need the chemotherapy. He could not understand how that happened, but I was told, whatever you are doing, continue doing it. How do you say thank you for having your life saved? I don’t have the words, but I have the feeling. Sincerely, Ron

Subject: seizures
Dear Luanne- I never thought I could say that 2 lives in my family were saved in that one year. But it happened. This time it is not about my reversing metastatic breast cancer which I was able to do under Gary’s protocol, this time it’s about my daughter. Since 2014 she has been under the care of seven doctors and was on 13 different medications. 4 weeks ago she jumped out of a third-story window. She was not even conscious about the fact that she could have died. My daughter was diagnosed with seizures at the age of 3 after receiving vaccines. She was diagnosed with multiple seizure disorders in addition to delayed mental abilities and impulsive decision making. She did not have the sensation of hot or cold, also her brain did not go into REM mode when she slept. As a result she would be up and down all night. She has an IEP for school and cannot make basic decisions unless she is directed. She had multiple seizures throughout the night every single night. She was substantially underweight since she had no appetite. She fell multiple times a day due to lack of balance, she had no ability to communicate. And she looked down, avoiding eye contact. The doctors said that she will spend the rest of her short life in this state.
So one evening I was able to speak with Gary Null. He gave me a detailed protocol for her and within 1 week her seizures diminished to 1 a day, and for the last 3 weeks she has had none. She now has eye contact and has gained 13 lbs. For the first time in 12 yrs she is able to sleep through the night, and she is having lucid and meaningful conversations. She is not engaging in impulsive reactions but rather with reasonable thoughts.
At the retreats I saw Gary do his energy work and give protocols. I saw changes that no one, including MD’s who were there, could explain. A small group of us have kept in touch since our at retreat in April. All of us have something common: all of us experienced remarkable healings that defy medical explanation. And now I can add my daughter to that. Imagine when you’re told that when your child is having multiple seizures each day and that one day that seizure may cause her death, how I felt. We’ve been expecting her to die for the past 5 years, and now that has changed, even her medical doctors have taken her down to just 3 medications and if she continues to improve at this rate she may able to be taken off of all medications within the next 6 months. What can I say? Gary saved my daughter’s life. And now throughout the day and night my daughter is acting normal for the first time since her vaccine injury.
I thought that you should know this. Best wishes, Ice

Dear Gary- I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your advice and guidance. Several months ago, I was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. My neurologist told me that he wanted me to take another MRI in 6 months. I asked him what I should do in the meantime. He replied that all I could do was to pray.
Everything that I had accomplished in my life became a blur as I faced my own mortality. I told my family what the doctor told me and my son, Gregory, informed me that you were having a wellness retreat in Texas and thought that I should attend. He reminded me that I had everything to gain. Besides, he reminded me, didn’t I hope to see my 3 grandchildren grow up? I remained positive and listening to your broadcast on WBAI has provided a wealth of information over the years.
It is difficult to explain how mind and body transforming that experience was for me at the retreat! I felt that I was in an earthly paradise which caused me to regroup, reevaluate, and reconsider my options to regain my radiant health. I followed your protocols completely.
Your advice and holistic approach to living a healthier lifestyle shall resonate with me forever. I cannot tell you how thrilled I was when my doctor looked at the results of my new MRI and announced that the tumor was completely gone!! Your knowledge and guidance is invaluable! This saved my life! That’s why I had to give you hugs of appreciation at Symphony Space the other night!! With heartfelt thanks, Marcia

Gary, you’re larger than life. Thank you for sharing all the interesting stories of your life at your retreat. I had a great time, and have never met so many nice people. That was very sweet of you to invite me and to house me at the Villa. I was very touched by how nice the staff was (volunteers?). They treated me like some kind of minor celebrity. I was a bit frustrated that I didn’t know what time it was, and they bought me a clock! Also, so many of the attendees were, of course, from New York and were familiar with my show and big fans! That was fun because I rarely get to meet listeners.
Things are going from bad to worse here in California. On my way home from Texas in the airport shuttle I had to get dropped off at the rescue center in Santa Rosa because they were evacuating the area where I was headed. I eventually got rescued out of there by a friend, but still couldn’t go home for a week because my electricity was shut off and in my case it meant I had no water. More and more things are going wrong all the time. I just heard part of your fundraising show on WBAI – very informative! I’m sorry about your parents. That is kind of sad.
My friend Tony tells me that you can put people in touch with someone who can come up with protocols(?) or help with their health. I would like that kind of help if you know someone who would help me. I’m not terminal, so I guess that lets you off the hook. I’m in the process of becoming much more vegetarian, which I have felt I needed to do for a long time now.
I finally took a look at your Wikipedia page and was totally appalled. What a smear job. But, as you well know, Wikipedia is a political operation above all else. I wonder who the man behind the curtain is. People have ideas about that.
Thank you again, Gary. All the very best to you, Gary. Bonnie

Hi Gary- I know all your days are full, leading and directing, growing and educating, but I hope you have found exhilaration from something today. I visited your Villa during the 2020 2 week Spring Retreat. I waited for the Retreat with great anticipation, and when I arrived and saw you walking around with a giant bird on your shoulder, I knew I was in the right place.
My purpose for attending was not to talk, give my opinions or to be noticed at all. I only wanted to breath, be quiet, listen, learn, contemplate, release what was not serving me and get filled up with what will. I wanted to quiet my mind and my heart and connect with nature in a safe, healing environment. I was so glad for the opportunity to come, I was determined to give and work as hard as I could in order to contribute to the serene, exquisite, breathtaking environment at the Villa.
I often stopped during the day and just looked up at the towering trees. I smiled, closed my eyes and listened to the birds sing as the sun bathed my face. “How wonderful!”, I thought. Sometimes, I would throw my arms out, joined the birds, and just sing. I felt so and free. I felt light, unburdened and carefree. How healing this place is, (the life-giving drinks and food, the teachings, the pool, the clean, manicured grounds, the million roses among the statues, marble benches and graceful fountains, beautiful people and everything else that was offered.) I so needed this!
I arrived feeling lost in a dark shadow and suffocating in a cloud of heaviness and hopelessness. I left feeling light, free and very hopeful. I am committed to living MY life fully, and being true to my authentic self. I’m excited to sprint into action applying what I’ve learned, moving towards living my dreams. That brief 2 week reprieve and periodic encouragement and challenge from you, Gary, have given me new energy and new zest for life! Thank you!!! Karen

Reflections, Insights, and Progress from Anti-Aging Study
Dear Luanne and Gary- Thanks again for a challenging, transformative eight weeks in your anti-aging study. I’m doing great, and am still following the protocols. I wanted to give you both an update on my progress, and some random insights I’ve gleaned since I returned from Texas. So here goes-
I’ve continued to journal and reflect on my life, my mission, and new story. Slowly, it’s becoming clearer. Yesterday, for example, I did a webinar entitled, “Confessions of an Anti-Aging Study Guinea Pig,” where I explained the process/protocol I went through–benefits, challenges, insights —and opened up the discussion (in Zoom) to friends and neighbors. About 17 persons participated, and the feedback was very positive. I want to follow-up this session with ones on fasting/ intermittent fasting, best practices in supplementation, a “new health paradigm” etc. The ideas are flowing, and I’m excited. Moreover, as both of you exemplify, to be able to “walk the talk” makes your presentations even more powerful.
So I was a dynamic- assertive energy, coasting along for the past few years, awaiting retirement. Admittedly, nothing particularly dynamic in that picture. I’ve always enjoyed the exploration of ideas, especially ones I could put into practice and experiment with. The various lifestyle approaches we followed in Texas, is perfect for me researching further and experimenting with the best combinations to help in my development. In my teens, I used to read three books a week on average; my thirst for new knowledge and ideas was that strong. That passion has returned, and I’m enthused about the possibilities not only for my own development, but sharing my gifts with others.
In reflecting on what factors got me “over the hump” of my inertia and lethargy, I would say everything. Your approach works synergistically, one positive factor reinforcing another. I also have come to the same conclusion as you both would espouse, namely, that attitude is all- important. It took weeks in Texas for me to turn around that ship, and now I am heading in a more positive direction. Your staff was wonderful (John Q, John C, Elaine, Ron, Dave etc.) and made a real difference. Both of you are on such a high plane of achievement, it was easier for me to relate to staffers, who like myself, are a work in progress. Even so, both of you are role models that have been a positive factor in my life for many years, and in Gary’s case, all my adult life.
A recent talk with my cousin was revealing. She is an artist, and truly an original thinker and person. She used the metaphor of a wheel, and whether we are in the center of our life, or merely a spoke in the wheel going in circles. I’m closer to the center now than ever. For example, waking up 4:30 am, meditating/ breathing, race-walking, stretching, preparing my juices and smoothies, cooking and preparing my lunch, planning my day, doing light cleaning etc- all before 9:00 am in the morning. Seemingly, I get more done in those early hours than I previously had in the entire day. A big takeaway– I’m more productive and focused.
A participant in my presentation last night asked whether this protocol would be practical for your average person to follow. The question can be answered many ways. I commented that I was no superman, but a person who was very motivated to make changes at a critical juncture in my life. I also mentioned that any gains we’ve made, once achieved, are not static. Every day we are making choices which reinforce a positive direction, or not. That is both the challenge and opportunity; the challenge to keep moving in a positive direction, and the opportunity to become a happy, healthy and actualized person.
Ok, enough ruminations for now. I just wanted to give you a better sense of my current situation and thoughts. I really hope the second study results are a smashing success. Our entire medical paradigm is so off the mark. Both of you are exemplars of what a new health paradigm could be, and I respect and appreciate your many efforts to move us collectively into a better future. All the best….Bruce

Seriously Gary, journaling, your videos, meditation and not watching any TV
has been my life line. I have been dedicated to being stronger for years,
but this new path is simply miraculous. I attach a few videos to demonstrate the work I have been doing. You always say when you are older you must do more and I could not agree more with you. At 72 it is indeed the fountain of youth. Thank you!! Cecelia

Dear Luanne- I had a great week and my one regret is that I am not able to stay both weeks. Maybe after I retire if Gary continues to have his retreats.
Well by now you have probably figured out that because I keep coming back, there’s something very special for me in the experience of being at the Villa. Where do I start? I learn new things each time I come there but the one unifying thread is the amazing harmony that the villa creates by its physical beauty, it’s connections to nature and how it all ties together to provide spiritual sustenance for the many of us who are starving for it.
I keep learning that being a whole person involves growth on many levels and in different directions, that a major part of it is that we have to care for one another as people and as a civilization. That’s the most important lesson that comes out of the experience and is hammered home again and again by Gary in different ways through his extemporaneous discourses. When Gary speaks in the Socrates garden, as the sun is coming down, there’s a quietness in the audience, I am moved by it and think it must have been something like that when the great philosophers and mystics spoke at length to their students. Sorry for running on so long Luanne, but it’s an amazing experience for me each time. Stan

Hi Luanne- When you get a chance please send me the list of foods to avoid for hypothyroid that you had mentioned, thanks.
As for what I learned: basically I learned that life for me after the loss of my life partner is not necessarily over. I still have some time…as one of the people said, you will be together with your wife for an eternity, so what is the rush. I very much enjoyed the activities and the sense of a communal environment where it was fun to interact with all the characters there (and I mean characters!), which was very healing in itself for me. I met some people who had also experienced painful loss of their spouse, and we had some good sharing that was beneficial for me and the other parties as well.
Gary through his healing got me onto a deeper part of myself. When I came back, the feeling that I should return to my roots of performing stories, mime, comedy, and acting Shakespeare again, began to emerge more strongly, just because it is what I enjoy doing. (In fact I’m driving up to Maine this week to work with an erstwhile mime colleague to help him out financially but also to practice a bit under his direction and share some improvs together).
I honor the presence of my wife yet in all that I do and will do, her sense of fun. I also honor myself, and whatever evolution I have yet to experience, and honor the members of my family and friends, and people I have yet to meet whom I may serve to enrich with my being, knowledge, and good intentions.
Generosity of spirit was very much on display at the Villa, and an inspiration. I learned that everyone is engaged in a struggle, and that to evolve is not to give in and knuckle under, but to strive with resistance against the odds, using what gifts we are given to their best advantage.
Gary, extraordinarily gifted in many respects, was an awe-inspiring example of someone who could spin gold out of straw, but that took a lot of work, probably the work of many lifetimes; yet still an example of how to actualize and achieve one’s goals, commensurate with one’s own abilities. And to be smart: to look out for opportunities that are needed and exist. To survive means to use your intelligence, and to go with the flow of life, keeping one’s eyes open to the moment, responsive to the impending trends, as much as that can be done. To be creative means to bring your best, and using what materials are at hand, or can be acquired, stay true to one’s inner vision, to make the inner and the outer one, not to settle if one can help it.
Above all, I had many affirmations of what it felt like to consistently honor the spiritual aspect of life in all its dimensions, including food, and including humor, the great balm (not bomb, as in standup). Bernard

We all understand that Gary is a profound thinker and can coherently articulate his vast data base in his head impromptu. But he is somebody who doesn’t just talk the talk–he walks the walk. In fact, Gary is a full-throttle, speeding train. Whether it be the external forces of others negativity or complaining, or the internal forces of self-doubt or fear, no one is going to derail him in his singularity of purpose in the present moment. We–and I–should aspire to live such a life. M Kamin

I feel so Blessed to have finally made it to a retreat. I’ve been wanting to go for 25 years. Gary has been such a HUGE influence in the development of my life and I am forever grateful and just feel super blessed to have been a part of this amazing experience and I hope to stay connected in the future. I felt a sense of belonging and community with like-minded souls. When I got to the retreat I felt beat up, perplexed, and derailed. Health wise, truth wise & hope wise. I left with a solid plan to cure my health issues & given the proper resources to achieve this.
I felt a break through where I was stuck when Gary laid healing hands on my head.(like I went to another stellar dimension). The massages where so healing and unique yoga, John Q . Everyone on staff was just superb and uniquely special. After talking to Luanne I felt hopeful. I felt picked up dusted off wound up, put back on track and set on my way to kick some virus’ asses. Her guidance was so special. What a Gal. (Made my healing plan seem so simple and achievable. like a computer she just spat out the info and resources that I was In need of . what a gifted ,smart, blessed woman & funny as hell. Gratitude Luanne.
With all the media chaos with Covid , all the amazing truths that Gary taught us I came home with loaded guns & a wealth of knowledge to share with my worried confused family , friends and everyone not informed . At the retreat I feel like a supernatural thing happened ,something I knew I’d always do , a place I knew God put on my heart to go. To have this experience that Gary has gifted me from his generous soul . I can’t express in words the feeling of agape love & gratitude I feel for the generous sharing of his time & knowledge . And I mean like hours and hours of coming to us and talking for us. I mean who does this??? No one I ever heard of.
I feel God chose him as a spiritually ordained leader & teacher on Earth to rally up the children of God to defeat this evil deceitful force we all face. For me without Gary’s steadfast determination to reveal the truth to us. I wouldn’t know all the truths that Gary has shared through the last 25 years and thus not the same person I am today. The proven scientific knowledge he unceasingly gathers & feeds us is priceless. I know in my journey I am a light warrior fighting on the front lines.
I left the retreat feeling stronger in every way, confidant with a sense of belonging & purpose alongside the community of beautiful souls I got to share time with last week with. I have a stronger sense of purpose and belonging. I feel like my roots have grown deeper, My purpose clearer & I feel excited for my future & how I can do my part to make a difference. I’ve long listened to Gary . The way he speaks & teaches just sticks in my psyche. I have attended a few lectures at NY where I 1st met him in person… the blessing to spend such intimate time in a laid back sacred setting with every one of the beautiful people I got to meet was so special.
To actually feel a part of the energy that was at the villa would just take a spiritual essence to explain I’m really at a loss for words to fit this feeling. It’s where I was supposed to be as I always knew I’d be one day. The time is at hand now more than ever to spread the knowledge that was infused in me. I’m excited to let Universe guide me & use me for the higher purpose I’m here for. Thank you Gary from the depths of my soul for being you and being such a living example. A strong, moral, ethical Man of God and living as an example to show us how to not let the “things & ways “of this world control us. My grandmother used to call us her l’il chickens. I felt like a lil chicken following you around , listening ,soaking like a sponge your every word & watching you set the example that our world leaders should be setting for us. You have always from the first time I heard your show 25 years ago resonated as the truth & you prove it and you live it and You are such a blessing.
May God protect you & keep you. Anything I can ever do to be a helper to you, to give back a fraction of what you have given me, just say the word. Looking forward to being a part of the community excited all that you have happening. Winters are my slow time If you need any help with your projects I will gladly give my talents freely if you want my help.
Besides my being a singer/song writer/musician artist inventor by nature. I have a home improvement contracting business, Painting, flooring , simple electric, plumbing , construction.
I now own the business I’m super dynamic, diverse, creative ,handy. I can do or learn most anything really.. So don’t hesitate, I’d be happy to come out this winter or whenever for a couple weeks put my boots on and lend a hand. This past week keeps a smile in my heart and my chest out feeling strong and confident that I’m not alone in this fight for truth. The support system you are creating is simply divine. Thank you with Blessings & Gratitude . Your loyal Aquarius friend & advocate. Marlene

Hi Luanne- Here are my few sentences:
The two-week anti-aging program was a great experience for me and exactly what I needed to continue my journey. I had two major learnings. First, Gary’s lecture on the importance of being/feeling relevant made a big impact on me. I realized that part of my feelings of being not included among my acquaintances in my community was coming not just from my transition to veganism and giving up of alcohol, but also from no longer feeling/being relevant. Because I was no longer motivated, I had given up several major leadership roles in a group I participate in and which had put me in the center of things. This realization gave me a whole new understanding and I no longer feel rejected. I see very clearly my role in this. And I see the importance of being relevant to one’s sense of well being. To me being relevant is related to having a purpose.
Now I want a bigger purpose (restoring the vote to ex-felons/getting involved in the prison absolution movement) Second, in Luanne’s final lecture when Luanne acknowledged me for my work on restoring the vote to ex-felons in Florida; at first I felt embarrassed as “I had not done this”, then I realized that Luanne was using imagining to create reality and that it would help me to do the same—to envision myself as already accomplishing the goal and being applauded for doing so. Now I am motivated to move forward! Thank you. Luanne, for that. Using imagining to create reality is something I have done in the past, but had not done recently. I now have a wonderful tool that will help me achieve my purpose.
I have to say that you selected an awesome group of people for this study. Such a diverse group! To my mind they were citizens of the world…..
Thanks for everything. Sue

I want to thank Gary for this opportunity for attending this seminar, even though due to my gallbladder problem I could not participate as well as I would have love to do. I learned to apply a lot of which I have been studying for many years from many authors and used for my personal growth. After this seminar I had a revelation that is a weird experience which made me realize that I am sort of psychic and able to read people.
I always wanted to be part of the Null’s Villa family so hopefully he does not discontinue this process. One thing I wish for Gary to develop is an app sort of like Facebook where we can be a community of sharing our life experiences and not as a place to be spied on so we can share the things we know and enjoyable life becomes when we connect like-minded beings living this life on our travels… Namaste.

Hi Gary,
Our two-week anti-aging study at your charming villa in Texas was truly one of a kind experience i never forget. I loved waking up at sunrise and taking a power walk surrounded by beautiful nature, then day full of activities and meeting with likeminded people and ending a day by the pool side with peacocks. Peacocks were posing to me so nicely that I had to grab a brush and start painting.
Meeting with you in person was truly an honor. You have inspired me in so many ways – to take care of my health and wellness, to be an independent thinker, to participate in social and environmental causes, to be proactive in whatever life throws at me and not to fall into victim mentality, to name a few. I admire your courage to take on big companies and corrupt individuals who are destroying our lives. I keep praying for your safety and well-being.
I will stay on course with the anti-aging study and prove that age is just a number. I’m already feeling cleaner and leaner, my mind feels sharp, my muscle tone has improved, I’ve lost 5 lbs. Late morning berry/protein smoothie and early vegan dinner seem to satisfy all my nutritional needs along with the supplements and green/red juices.
You had asked me to reach out to you for some materials I can share with my friends and acquaintances to raise awareness and to support the causes and laws that are detrimental to our well-being. I will continue with my grassroots efforts to enlighten and educate as many as I can.
I wish you all the best. I hope that there will be an opportunity to meet again and perhaps work on some creative projects (i have a product/graphic design/marketing company).
Warmly, Kersti

Also, it was great meeting with you in person. You are very wise, knowledgeable, and insightful, as well as so much fun! What i have learned during my stay at the villa:
• To live in the moment • Focus on positive
• Make the most of every opportunity • Be force for good
• Have FUN • Importance of being surrounded by positive people/ positive energy
• Healing power of nature
• Small amount of proper nutrition gives the best results – lean body, sharp mind, more energy
• A big component of anti-aging is proper mindset – if you think right, you make better decisions
• Importance of introspection • Importance of good friendships
• Importance of balance in life • We create our own reality
Thank you. Best, Kersti

Good afternoon Luanne,
Thanks again for including me in the Anti-Aging Study, and for all you provided to make my two weeks at the retreat such a rewarding experience!
There is so much I learned during my stay in the Villa, that summarizing it in a few short sentences is a challenge. Among what I got in my two week stay includes:
An awareness of how much my mind has limited me in the past. This became obvious when I was able to walk 26 miles with minimal training, and was able to do so with very little soreness or pain. This has me examining other areas of my life, to see where I placed limits on what is possible.
I also learned how important personal integrity is. The more direct my relationship with my words, the greater power my words and actions have.
Also, that every little thing matters in life, and accumulating as many positive credits will serve me and others mightily, on the rest of my journey.
Sincerest Regards, Rich Goldberg

Hi Luanne:
Back home safe and sound and feeling absolutely fantastic! It was such a pleasure meeting you and the rest of staff who were so very caring and attentive. I will never forget the experience. As for Gary…that is a whole thrill by itself! I will be more than happy to provide a few sentences about what I have learned…I could write a paragraph – lol but will stick to the plan
Just so you know, I have been walking a mile each day since Sunday and today upped the ante to 2 miles! I am keeping the momentum going (lol).
Attending Gary’s Retreat has instilled a powerful change in mind, body and spirit. I came broken in body and mind to this Retreat but left with such renewed energy and focus to achieve the results I need. I learned to challenge myself every day and I practiced that in my walking and now able to increase from walking a mile a day to two miles a day. Gary also taught me the value of proper digestion and the consequences of not having proper digestion. I learned for proper digestion to take place, one should eat in silence, a fact I never knew. Also one should not drink while eating but should wait at least one hour after to consume a liquid.
The main lesson I learned while being at the Retreat is that Gary’s energy healing really works. Having experienced the power of his energy work, I was able to focus and vastly increase my exercise routine sets devoid of the aches and pains I had been living with for so long. Now I try to use my time effectively and always have a Plan B in place. Sincerely, Carol

Dear Dr. Null:
I had the privilege of staying at the Villa in Texas as part of the accelerated two week Anti-Aging Study. I would like to first extend my gratitude towards you for making the study possible and for opening the doors to such a wonderful place. The setting was serene and bucolic, but at the same time sophisticated and Shakespearean like. I enjoyed immensely the walks around the beautiful gardens. Also the scents, smells and sights of the surrounding nature made the experience even more meaningful.
The staff was amazing, so eager to help and so friendly. Luanne was so knowledgeable and so upbeat. She was so full of energy, ran the place so well and she graced all of us with her positive energy. She is simply “The Best”.
I took with me so much knowledge, but I also want all to know that I took with me so much more. I made so many new friends, other participants that were just amazing human beings. I have this warm feeling in my heart which tells me that this experience will go with me wherever I will go. The knowledge I gained, I plan to share it and spread it with as much enthusiasm as it was given to me. Most importantly I believe I left a better, fuller, stronger person; physically, mentally and spiritually.
Thank you Luanne for allowing me to be part of this study. Thank you Dr. Null for making the study possible. Blessings, Maria

Dear Friends,
There are many aspects of the Villa Retreat that resonate truly with my being, experienced more deeply as I emersed in the blending communication of our Earth and all existence emanating and expressing itself thru the beautiful Oasis filled with trees, foliage, birds, and all of nature’s beingness awaiting.
I am grateful for the opportunity to participate with a great group of people, in a space and environment conducive to well-being, harmony, clarity, and peacefulness structured to nurish the body, mind, and spirit in such a way as to encourage the awareness of going within and the unfolding, expanding consciousness awaiting there.
I came to the retreat in order to become more fully, “that which I Am”, being open, wanting to be in the moment as richly and deeply as possible; knowing that my life and my happiness is fully in my own hands.
Having lost my husband of 42 1/2 years and my mother, both two years ago, I am realizing the cultivation, navigation, and eagerness for the adventure of life is a key component of joyous living and going forward with an open heart. Awareness of All-that-is and creating a glorious life is my goal.
The retreat experience has given a forum to expand and fly!
Oh yes, and finding an eagle feather on my first day was a kick (in all reverence to my totem animal). Wishing you cosmic blessings and insights, Nesha

Overall a positive experience with some tension sometimes we need to b nudged out of our comfort zone- life is that way- I’m quieter and a better listener- I speak softer and are calm inside when faced with negativety- My cancer is not spreading so far- hope to see reverse trend- doing ozone and C along with juice- strict avoidance of anything cancer likes- I don’t miss or crave the things I liked-
I am optimistic for the future and hopefully report a reverse of the cancer- Looking forward to the next retreat if there is one-
All the best to Gary Luanne and staff- good job thanks- Dan

Hi Luanne,
Here a few sentences about my experience during my stay at the villa.
My main priority going into the retreat was to support my sister-in-law. However, I was also interested in being a part of the anti-aging group, resetting my life and starting a new journey after having a tough year. What I took away from the 2 weeks at the Villa has completely surprised me in an unexpected way. I have come out a healthier version of myself, with my skin looking better than ever, my weight changing, my mind clearer and more focused and my priorities in life changing. I have a positive & lighthearted attitude where I wouldn’t have before (a true New Yorker through and through), I know what I don’t want out of life, which means I am almost sure I know what I want and need and my life. I am smiling more and I am loving myself more and more.
Not only did I end up relaxed after 2 weeks of lots of exercise, clean food, chores and early mornings, I am beginning to appreciate those things because my body and my mind feel clean and healthy. I am looking forward to the next few weeks on the plan and hope that my results continue to improve because if I can feel this great in only few weeks, I can’t imagine what kind of an amazing and healthy self I will become at the end of this journey. Thanks! Elaina

Greetings Luanne!
I hope all is well and you had an enjoyable and restful holiday.Thanks for your email and it’s funny to receive your question because I’ve been thinking a lot about what I learned at the retreat- there was so much! If I had to pick just one thing (which is probably best as I’m sure your inbox is overflowing,) I would say it was the following: True healing comes from within.
For some time I struggled with a rather intractable condition that made daily activities difficult and left me feeling isolated and fatigued. I sought out practitioners, many of whom were sympathetic and skilled but could not find an answer for me. I thought they had the knowledge or skill to “heal” me and so on I went in an sort-of endless loop of looking for someone to fix my problem.
It took time to see the truth of my situation- which as Gary said “… healing comes from within.” It’s such a simple but profound statement and I think maybe I wasn’t quite able to see the real-world application of it until the retreat. I’m not sure why that was but the Villa is such a powerfully focused environment; (the food, juices, lectures, workshops, yoga….) and I witnessed some miraculous things taking place! It just felt like this was a unique moment, all of the pieces were in place and I was finally ready, empowered and able to do the work of healing.
I thank you again for all the excellent advise and counsel you offered- it made a huge difference for me and to my Mom. We have rededicated ourselves to making positive changes and sharing the joy and hope we received to others. We’re truly all in this together! Hugs to everyone, Wendy

Hello Luanne
This is Ana from the last Spring retreat. I just wanted to thank you guys and Gary for being part of the catalyst that has help me makes changes in my life that have helped me improve my health and well being. Since the retreat I made the change from vegetarian to vegan, gave up all gluten products too. Started working out at the gym on a regular basis and the change has been transformative. If I could afford it I would go again. Thank you!

Hi this is James. How are you? I started on the protocol and the only thing I’m missing is motherwort. I’m grateful for the improvement so far and I have all the other good vitamins too. I applied at one ashram and they considered it but they’re full now so I might try other ones. And I paid the 495 plus the electricity for my trailer so I’m hoping to get into somewhere better soon is that so many holes and leaks it’s not worth that I would like to get a van as you said would be good. I’m grounding myself and and doing better so I’m magnetizing more into my life.
Looking forward to working in the hydroponics learning how to sprout and more. I shaved my beard for now. The last thing I have to say is that the doctor that you referred me to said they only do vitamin c drips and hyperbaric oxygen not blood work ups but I do believe that vitamin c drips might help my stomach which is slowly improving. I Believe this was Dr Brown’s office. I plan on fasting for as long as possible to speed up my process. The effects of the retreat are still setting in as I believe it was in Divine timing. Thank you!

Thank you Gary. Thank you for the invitation to come to Naples and allowing me to accompany Deb. Thank you for encouraging me to see that I can do better to help myself. Thank you for the meals—they were all very good.
I’m happy I was able to walk as much as I did. I am setting up a walking program so I can continue what I started. Also, I’m no longer thinking about all the comfort foods I used to think about. I’m enjoying vegetable meals more than I knew I would.
Since returning home, I’ve noticed I’m not as negative as I was. I’m feeling much more optimistic about the future. I’ll send 30-day, 90-day, etc. updates on my progress.
THANK YOU, Judy

Just want you to know I really enjoyed Florida, our accommodations, the beautiful trees, spectacular surroundings, the fun cats and little doggies. I will taken some of your lessons to Texas and home with me shortly. I have all your questions
which I will continue to review. Thanks for your hospitality, feeding us such healthy food and your inspiring talks.
The weeks went by so quickly after months of anticipation. Thanks for the yard work—I am continuing that in Texas. John and I take different sections each day now that the frigid weather is gone. I will review the pictures I received from the reunion members and send some along this evening. I also have some hard raking photos you might need to get reimbursed the uneven ground on the other side of the fence across for the garage. All the best!!

Gary, You inquired how I’m doing since returning. For one thing I did so appreciate your well thought out probing questions in your lectures…and since then every day when I write in my journal, as part of my daily devotions (together with a proverb from the Bible), I consider one of your pertinent questions.
In your last lecture you mentioned my Father as a minister but I was not clear about what you meant to say by that. I did notice that 3 of your questions very much reflected the sentiment in my Dad’s favorite poem ‘Opportunity’ below which I think is a great philosophy along with the tried and true Biblical truths that my Father lived by.
So I continue to do my best – good enough for some and not for others but I try not to judge myself!! too harshly for my short comings!…and also to remember to give myself credit for the good I do and have accomplished: a balanced perspective!
Thanks again for including me (the stranger in the group) at the Running and Walking retreat. I listen to your show every day and am amazed at your brilliance and dedication to presenting a much needed perspective (based on truth and knowledge) to a world seemingly intent on its own destruction.
I hear you’re coming to NYC in April! Due to the new Mayor (who is a Vegan) no more masks or asking for a vaccine card! Hallelujah…and I seriously think your show may have influenced this decision. I was beginning to wonder if this would go on forever…as some would wish. I also have insights on that…hope to see you in April. Sharon

Hi Gary,
Just sending a note of great thanks for the health retreat this May. I am still so amazed of its wonders and all I’ve learned. Thank you so much for all you do. I’ve been a fan of yours for about 35 years
It amazes me that you have dedicated so much of your life towards helping others and still do. Learning that you have extraordinary gifts of energy healing was new knowledge and I am appreciative of that, also. It was also wonderful to see that you are the real deal and practice what you preach 100%.
I enjoyed your physical presence and felt honored to be part of that health retreat and feel your sincerity and love for all mankind. Your gifts of high creativity and superb intelligence and compassion was felt throughout the Villa.
I still read over my copious notes and am working on my goals from that weekend. Thank you so much- Sincerely, Joan

Good morning, Gary,
May, 2023 in Mineola, you saved my broken heart by introducing me to my will power, knowing that I am stronger than I think. After I came home, I was doing very well for a while but I then didn’t keep my shield strong against the noises from the world.
Thank you for inviting me to your healing paradise and giving me the opportunities in finding and embracing myself. Here I am.
Week 1, I was working my best to improve my health condition, including walking on the track, juicing, using Oxygen machine, taking supplements, watching videos and ending with the blessing Gary’s healing gourmet. (Yes, the feral cat was adjusting herself to the new environment.)
Week 2, I was feeling great that my spirit, emotion and health were at the optimum status until healing crisis occurred. I learned how not to let the health condition to breakdown the balance and I repositioned myself.
Week 3, I found more strength and applied what I had learned from the lectures to my everyday life, including deconstruct and reconstruct. I tried to crawl out of my comfort zone and to deal with the problems or challenges till my emotion overruled me. This week was a hard lesson but the most valuable lesson for every successful man. Being humble and not jumping to the conclusion or judgement without the proofs and being my own Gandhi. Same as healing crisis, the emotional attack took me 3 days to pull back together.
Week 4, I focus more on positive energy. All the videos I watched, some verses here there, the conversation with my dad… all make sense now. They are like the dots and dots connecting, puzzles pieces fitting in the spots. I remember when I was a teenager, one day at the dinner table, I was talking about what happened at school. My dad said to me that I should also see myself while I was pointing at others. I was not happy that instead of comforting me, my dad won’t give me the chance to complain or to let it out. Little did I know that complaining is not the constructive way. He tried to introduce his children the positive energy especially at the dining table. It is interesting why this old scene suddenly popped out to my mind.
De-cluttering is another thing I did to move my Chi or energy. I also learned to deal with my fear, face it and be strong.(XX) At Gary’s paradise, I found my oasis where the flowing energy reveals the true color. (I was working on it even in my nightly dreams.) Thank you for empowering me with consciousness/awareness and encouraging me to explore myself without fear of making mistakes at Gary’s paradise.
Thank you, Terry
