There are a lot of wacky and dangerous detox diets out there. The plan we’re about to share with you isn’t one of them. Created by Mother Nature and adapted for the modern woman by top New York City dermatologist David Colbert, M.D., this buzzed-about cleanse “is better than a new wonder drug better than a diet pill, better than Botox” promises Dr. Colbert. “It’s affordable, it feels good, it’s very safe, and it gives your body exactly what it needs to heal and rejuvenate.” Sure, ” there are side effects-but only the good kind: effortless weight loss, surging energy, improved memory, disappearing wrinkles, shinier hair and an allover radiance. “You can literally lose 20 years in 30 days,” promises the pro, who counts celebs and supermodels among his success stories. “The difference is amazing.”
A new way to succeed
Dr. Colbert’s plan began coming together as he realized patients were looking for a different kind of anti-aging magic. “Botox can smooth wrinkles, but it won’t give you a healthy glow,” he says. (’And that glow is what people are after-even if they don’t realize it. That’s when you get compliments on how young you look; that’s when you start to feel young.” Bonus: “A faster, younger metabolism is definitely part of the package!” So how do you get glowing? Dr. Colbert’s key recommendation is trading processed foods
for totally unprocessed ones: fresh fish instead of fish sticks, nuts instead of chips, berries instead of pie. “Processed food contains so many chemicals, trans-fats, unhealthy sweeteners and other junk that I consider it poison,” he says. “When you replace toxic food with food that truly no wishes your body, you’ll slim down and erase signs of aging pretty quickly.” To accelerate results even more . .
It’s as easy as 1-2-3!
Dr. Colbert, author of The High School Reunion Diet, created a special quick results version of his approach. Most use the jumpstart “detox” for three to six weeks. The plan is designed to help even the most tired and overweight body quickly reboot, repair damage and restore itself to optimal health. Here’s a ll there is to it:
1. Choose the simplest food possible.
“Natural and unprocessed foods contain the highest concentration of nutrients needed to flush out your system so that you automatically lose weight and look younger,” Dr. Colbert says. “In my experience, the more one-ingredient foods you eat, the better your results will be.” So stick to absolute basics-like eggs, broccoli, apples, olive oil-most of the time.
2. Give overworked systems a rest.
Odds are you’ve been overloading on sugar and other processed carbs, says Dr. Colbert. Which means the hormones your body uses to process sugar and carbs are overworked, possibly even malfunctioning in a way that makes you gain weight and age faster. So give ‘em a chance to recover. While detoxing, you’ll stick to just one serving of whole grains a day, limit yourself to low-sugar fruit, and meet the rest of your carb needs by eating nuts, beans and non starchy vegetables. Dr. Colbert says it’s an easy way to reduce calorie consumption, kill cravings, enhance fat burning and restore lost vitality.
3. If it feels bad, stop.
“There is absolutely no starvation and no deprivation allowed,” Dr. Colbert insists. “Listen to your body, and eat when you’re hungry and until you feel slightly full. You don’t improve your health by hurting yourself.” This same concept applies to workouts. “Gentle exercise -at least 20 minutes a day- is hugely beneficial to the detox process. So go for a nice walk, a bike ride, a swim. But you want it to feel invigorating, never uncomfortable.”
Big, beautiful results!
Readers who’ve tested Dr. Colbert’s simple, wholesome regimen say it did indeed help them get radiant in a single month. And it helped them lose weight like a teenager, tool “I had my husband come look at the scale to make sure I wasn’t reading it wrong,” smiles Missouri mom Christy Mouse, 52, who shed a whopping 28 pounds in 30 days. “I had no idea my body could change so fast. I really do feel so much lighter and younger. This diet is wonderful!” Want to see for yourself? Everything you need is on these pages!

Rx: Haiti Benefit Brings Stars in Support of Haiti
Mick Jagger, L’Wren Scott, Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts are among the concerned celebrities who have contributed generously to Dr. David Colbert’s efforts to raise funds and awareness for Haitians who lost limbs in January’s earthquake. They all appeared last Thursday in New York City to help host a benefit for Hanger, Inc., the largest designer and distributor of prosthetics in the world. The money raised will help Hanger continue to bring replacement limbs and crucial medical care to the more than 5,000 Haitians who lost arms and legs in the earthquake. One of the evening’s highlights was a live auction featuring signature guitars rounded up by Mick from his friends Bono, Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams… and a red Baby Grand piano signed by Mick himself.

The High School Reunion Diet: What It Is
Want to look your best at your high school reunion? The High School Reunion Diet promises to help you look slimmer, healthier, and younger in 30 days — just in time for that reunion or other special event.
The No. 1 secret to glowing, younger-looking skin, according to author David Colbert, MD, a New York dermatologist, is a diet of healthy, unprocessed foods. Such a diet, he says, is “better than Botox,” Colbert says.

“I noticed my great-looking clients [who include actresses Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz] were also the ones who ate whole, fresh foods from their gardens, and so I began researching how a healthy diet could help you lose weight and turn back the hands of time,” he says.
Processed foods, sugary beverages, and other forms of sugars are the reason Americans are fat, Colbert says. He also believes that, like the sun, sugar ages the skin and body. “It can spike blood sugar to dangerously high levels and cause inflammation, which makes you look old,” he says.
In his eating plan, these foods are replaced with natural, nutrient-rich and, preferably, organic foods from your local farmers market.
“Eliminating most processed foods (including sugary food and drinks) is the single most important thing you can do to improve your appearance, weight, and health,” he says.
The High School Reunion Diet: What You Can Eat
During the first, “detox” phase of The High School Reunion Diet, you focus on eating only “true” foods, including:
Brightly colored vegetables, especially green ones
Some whole fruits (only berries and the occasional apple, orange or grapefruit)
Nuts
Lean meat
Healthy fats
Omega 3 rich fish
Eggs
Herbs and spices
Dieters are encouraged to drink lots of water — six to eight glasses or more. Tea and coffee are OK, too.
Here’s a sample menu for Level 1:
Breakfast: Egg white omelet and coffee
Snack: Half a cup of plain yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon agave, and 1/2 cup blueberries
Lunch: Salad with goat cheese, walnuts, cherry tomatoes, and vinaigrette
Snack: Two celery sticks stuffed with peanut butter or cottage cheese
Dinner: Salmon, roasted broccoli, green salad with veggies, sparkling water
After losing 5-10 pounds during the first two weeks, dieters advance to the second phase for two weeks or longer. This phase includes more fruits, plus whole grains and wine with dinner, and is similar to the recommendations of the U.S. government’s Food Pyramid.
What’s not on the menu during either phase are foods labeled processed: Sodas (diet or regular), fruit juices, sugary beverages, sports drinks, beer, liquor, trans fats, instant and fast foods, and anything containing sugar in all its forms (such as high-fructose corn syrup).
But the author says some minimally processed foods can be healthy, like steel-cut oats, tuna packed in water, and (rinsed) canned beans.
The book suggests that you supplement the diet with a multivitamin with minerals, a fish oil capsule, vitamin E and vitamin C to ensure you’re getting all the nutrients you need, plus an extra dose of antioxidants and omega-3s. The bottom line, Colbert says, is that foods that don’t come wrapped in a package are more likely to contain healthy nutrients, fats, fiber, and antioxidants.
“All the additives, preservatives, sugars, salt, and food colorings in our food supply are not natural and the culprits to our unhealthy nation of overweight and obese people,” Colbert says.
The first phase of The High School Reunion Diet is designed to help you get over your “addiction” to poor-quality food, Colbert says. In phase two, you’ll whittle your waistline and work toward youth recovery.
There’s no counting calories or carbs in The High School Reunion Diet. And although it encourages exercise, there’s no fitness plan outlined in the book. Indeed, The High School Reunion Diet makes clear that it’s not a “diet” per se, but a road map for eating for beauty and health.
Still, if you replace processed junk foods in your diet with the healthier, more natural ones touted in The High School Reunion Diet, you’ll cut calories and lose weight as a result.
Benefit for Haiti: More Prosthetics on the Way
Here is the link to the Huffington Post article: Benefit for Haiti: More Prosthetics on the Way
Benefit for Haiti: More Prosthetics on the Way
By Alicia WhitakerHuman
Shortly after the earthquake in Haiti, teams of doctors volunteering to help made their way to Haiti with supplies and equipment for field hospitals. The horrific result of this particular earthquake and its impact on a country of fragile buildings led to an unprecedented number of amputations – the current estimate is upwards of 5,000 people. In other major earthquakes, lost limbs have numbered in the hundreds, not the thousands.
One of those doctors was Dr. David Colbert, a NYC-based dermatologist and internist who also has experience as an emergency room physician with advanced wound care expertise. Trained in France, he speaks fluent French and has learned enough words in Creole to make an enormous difference to the frightened patients he encountered early in the crisis, who were coping with crushing injuries and serious infections in broken limbs that made amputation the only option. Some had waited for treatment for several days and their limbs now could not be saved.
Colbert assisted in several emergency amputations, including one for a young man named Wilfred who insisted he’d rather lose his life than his leg. It was Colbert’s job to convince him otherwise, and he promised the skeptical Wilfrid he’d find him a state-of-the-art prosthetic. The boy was wheeled into surgery.
Colbert came back to NY determined to raise awareness and money for prosthetics and the related services that make them work in a country where low-tech is the approach of choice because of issues with money, infrastructure and skills. He reached out to the Ivan Sabel Hanger Foundation, allied with Hanger Orthotics and Prosthetics, the world’s largest maker of prosthetics , and decided to partner with them to make it happen.
Terry Reed, an NYC-based author and screen writer and a recent collaborator with Dr. Colbert on a diet and nutrition book, The High School Reunion Diet, recently traveled to Haiti and headed to the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Deschapelles, now the site of a prosthetics clinic. Here’s her report on what she found:
“During the earthquake, hundreds had been transported here over rough roads from Port-au-Prince and lay waiting in the courtyard for medical attention. When the Hanger people offered materials and expertise for the devastating number of amputees, the hospital gave Hanger a building for a clinic. In the front of the clinic, the technicians fit limbs for the people who arrive on crutches, in wheelbarrows, on the backs of mopeds. There’s a wing where the therapists teach the newly fitted to walk. They make the prosthetics in the back of the clinic, in a factory. The knee joints, elbows and other mechanical parts are flown in, but much of the artistry happens on site, where a custom leg is created by hands that understand the mysteries of weight bearing and tibia bones and patellas. The day I was there, a small team of hard-working designers and technicians made sixty three legs.”
Back in New York, designer L’Wren Scott, a friend of Dr. Colbert’s, enlisted the help of her boyfriend Mick Jagger to spearhead a benefit that will take place on Thursday, May 6. Together with Dr. Colbert, Reed, David Scott and other members of the doctor’s newly-formed foundation, they have attracted a large group of celebrities who are lending their names, donating goods for an auction and giving money for the cause. Among them are Rachel Weisz, Catherine Zeta Jones, Michelle Williams, Sienna Miller, Jude Law, Helmut Lang, John Currin, Rachel Feinstein, Naomi Watts, Zac Posen, Christopher Niquet, Edie Falco, and Margery and Ted Mayer.
Auction items include art and photography, couture gowns and jewelry, guitars signed by Jagger and the Rolling Stones and a number of other special donations from artists, designers and musicians.
The benefit and auction will be held Thursday, May 6th, 2010 at The Greenhouse, Scholastic, 557 Broadway, New York. The event includes a VIP Reception from 6 to 7:00 PM and a Cocktail Party and Auction from 7-10PM Tickets, list of auction items and more information are available at www.nydgfoundation.org/haiti
