Okky Oei, M.D.
"My wife Vicki and I first tried Km in 1988...Karl Jurak's wife Sarah
gave us a bottle so we decided to try it and saw immediate results."
Okky's true understanding of the product came when he was asked by Karl
Jurak to be his personal physician. "I was skeptical about Km at first,"
he says. "When I found out a little bit more about it, I was more
interested, but it was when I actually met Karl some eight months later
that I changed my mind." In conversation with Karl, he learned firsthand
what went into making Km, what Karl had been trying to achieve and why he
had created it. "My feeling is that this product is excellent," he says.
"I have no trouble recommending it at all and I stand by it 100%. I've
seen it work over and over again. I see it in it's nutritional light - it
is a great source of potassium, which is very important in my work. My
philosophy has always been to let the body heal itself," he continues. "Km
fits nicely into that because it is a very good nutritional product that
can help the body in its recovery process." Okky's enthusiasm for Matol is
not limited to Km, of course. Virtually all of Matol's products are
mentioned during the course of a conversation with Dr. Oei, and all
enthusiastically. "My goal is achieved when the patient is well and can
maintain that level of wellness through a program of a healthy lifestyle
and nutrition. Matol's products fit into this very nicely."
Albert Guinn, M.D.
"I have had a number of older patients who I have been looking after
for some years," explains Internal Medicine Physician Albert Lee Guinn,
M.D., "they have been provided with a whole range of medications from
vitamins to anti-depressants with no significant results. Then I
introduced them to Km and they would come back to see me and tell me that
they were feeling much better, for the first time in years. That's pretty
dramatic to me and it happens all the time! I take a nutritional course
every year at Harvard," says Dr. Guinn, "and every couple of years or so
there is a new discovery made in nutrition, some trace element we were
unaware was important, but which turns out to be essential. I think Km fits into
that nutritional picture." For Dr. Guinn, the true value in the products
is their nutritional value and the role they may be playing in replacing
minerals which are missing in our daily diet. "I use the products every
day, my whole family does."
Sandhya Buch, M.D.
"As I introduced Km and Matol products to my patients." explains Dr.
Buch, "the demand grew rapidly. Neighbors were asking for bottles and, in
visiting my hospitalized patients, nurses and other physicians were asking
me for products and information. In the first few weeks, I had already
seen some remarkable changes among my patients and knew I wanted to get
these unique products out to people as quickly as possible." Her husband
Yadu saw the growing demands of the Matol business and decided to devote
full time to the Matol Opportunity. "The results we've seen in people with
a wide variety of physical challenges have been very encouraging. We're
now in the Matol business because we firmly believe we can improve the
quality of life for many other people."
Barb Sobat, R.N. & William Sobat, M.D.
With her full time job as a registered nurse and taking care of her
family, Barb was definitely worn out. "It was the health aspect of the Km that I
liked," she says. "It was at a time when I decided to get serious about my
health." She began to use it and felt the results almost immediately,
jumping right back into her life with a renewed sense of vim and vigor.
Her husband, Dr. William Sobat, was another story entirely. "He's the type
of doctor who will pick medical studies apart. He's very fastidious and
skeptical." Consequently he was not interested in a product about which he
knew very little. It wasn't too long after that he began mentioning it to
his patients, although there was still a certain wariness. The first time
he recommended it to a patient, it turned out that the patient was a
friend of Karl Jurak's and had been using it for some 50 years! As a colo-rectal surgeon, Dr. Sobat recommends Fibersonic,
along with all of the Matol
products.
Tamara Oynick, Endodontist & Jose Oynick (her dad)
Living in Mexico, Tamara Oynick had to purchase Km only when
she went to the States, but when Mexico was opened to Matol she was able
to fully participate in the opportunity. She has discovered that the Matol/Km product compliments her professional life very well. "Most
patients come to the office very stressed because they are visiting a
dentist," she explains, "and also because of the fast pace of Mexico City.
I have found that this gives me the chance to recommend Km as something
which may help them, and the fact that I am a medical professional helps
me share the products with people who could really benefit!"
Freda McKissic Buch, OBGYN
"The potential long term benefits are what attracted me to the
products," she explains. "In my own case, the Matol
Enzymes provided immediate benefits. A few years ago, I discovered I
was lactose intolerant and so I avoided all dairy products. Since I began
taking Matol Enzymes on a regular basis, I no longer have and problems
with my digestion as long as I take the Matol Enzymes. That was an
immediate benefit, but I'm really taking them and all the Matol products
for the long term benefits they provide." It took some time for Freda to
get over her initial misgivings about selling the products in her
practice, the feeling that it was somehow wrong to be offering them to
patients. In the end, however, it was another doctor who convinced her. "I
realized that I was no different from a doctor keeping pharmaceuticals on
hand for patients. I was just offering an alternative.," she says. "Get
people sold on the products and, eventually, they will want to share the
products."
Dr. Anthony King, Nutritionist
"I tried Km for a
week," he says, "and within four days I experienced results. I knew that
this was something different." Although he was very conscious of the
financial opportunity Matol was offering, it was the health aspects of the
products that first interested him and still appeal to him today. "There
has been a lot of talk about the need to increase the content of fiber in
the diet and there is a substantial body of evidence to suggest that a
high-fiber diet helps reduce the risks of colo-rectal cancer, breast
cancer and various other diseases," says Dr. King. "I've been doing
nutritional counseling for about a year now and I find that the level of
fiber in Fibersonic
is probably the best source of fiber that an individual can find. I also
believe that it provides a level of fiber that most people cannot get
during the course of a regular day. I have no problems whatsoever
recommending these products. In fact, they are the only products that I do
recommend."
Dan Badzik, DDS & Marilyn Badzik, RN
With their background in medicine, this couple understood the health
benefits of the products immediately, but they weren't looking for another
business. "With our interest in preventive medicine, we were both very
interested in Km from the
start," Marilyn explains. "Dan was an instant winner with Km. Securing
good health for others is what we love to do most of all. Dan and I
believe we can all be in charge of our own wellness. Matol products are
perfect for those who want to take control of their own health."
Joan & Jerry Horton
Joan manages a hospital Radiology department and Jerry is a
Lithotripter (treatment of kidney stones) specialist. "Km helps us
in our work, because we both have stressful jobs," says Joan. "It just
makes us feel good."
And from Jerry, "Once someone tries the product,
the results outweigh any doubts. We have shared the Km product with a lot
of people and we've had very good results so far."
Karen Trainer, BS, CARN, CCDC II
"Fitting Matol into my lifestyle and career hasn't been a problem at
all," says Karen. "First off, the products themselves make me a better
nurse because I'm calmer, stronger and healthier. The medical community is
just coming to understand the benefits of natural herbs, botanicals and
alternative, holistic approaches to health. Most health professionals
understand that there is much more to health than medicine, surgery and
prescription pills. Matol has always been one step ahead of the crowd in
that respect. They are trend setters and market leaders when it comes to
providing the true nutrition people need to stay healthy in today's
world."
Marilyn Vanborrendam, RN
"I think nurses are the luckiest people in the world. I want them all
to know that nursing isn't the dragged-out, stressful, horrible, no-where
job people imagine it to be. I don't know of any other profession that
allows you to have such a positive impact on people. Other than Matol, of
course. I'm in this because I care. If we do it for the right reasons, we
can't lose. We just can't lose."
Mary Kraemer, RN
Mary was introduced to the products several years ago by a friend who
told her she might benefit by their use. "He was telling me about how he
had all of this energy and how I should try the Km product.
I basically tried to prove him wrong," Mary laughs. "That shows you how
much trust I had. He believed that I would feel better if I tried it and I
told him that I felt good already - I'm a very health-conscious and active
person. Then, when I used it, I felt results right away. I believe the
products have enhanced my lifestyle," she says. "I let the products speak
for themselves, just like they did with me," Mary says happily. "I have
complete trust in the products, so I can't go wrong!"
R.J. McCaldon, M.D.
"Over the past decade there has been an expanding public awareness of
the value of herbs and natural products in maintaining optimal health. The
thoughtful individual may choose to practice preventive medicine, to use
the gentle power of herbs in daily life, and be able to avoid expensive,
dangerous surgical or pharmacological treatments. It is a subject worth
examining, for the good of your health."
Frank P. Iozzi, D.C.
"As a chiropractic doctor for some 40 years, I have always been
interested in the healing properties of herbs. I believe that herbs were
not placed here on Earth by chance, but on purpose. My travels through
Europe made me realize that great advancements have been made in the use
of herbs for nutrition. Although the use of herbs is not as prevalent in
North America, we have traveled a long road to education and acceptance of
what has been recognized by many people for centuries."
