LESLIE'S OWN STORY

A brilliant Bavarian doctor and good friend first introduced me to Cura Romana some twenty years ago.  Here's how it happened: One day, while visiting his clinic, I mentioned to him that, since adolescence, I had struggled with my weight.  He smiled.

"How much do you know about Cura Romana?" he asked.

"Cura what?"

"Cura Romana — the Roman Cure."

"Nothing," I replied, "What is it?"

Instead of telling me he handed me a book written and privately published almost half a century ago by a British doctor — ATW Simeons.

"Read this," he said.

I did.  I could not put it down.

"This guy claims to have discovered a cure for obesity."  I told my doctor friend. "I find that very hard to believe," I added.

"Why not try it?  Find out for yourself," he replied, smiling.

He knew me well.  He knew that I never take anything on faith no matter how many so-called "experts" tell me I should.  I need to experience something first hand.  I have to know it from within.

Disbelieving and apprehensive, yet determined to find out if what Simeons had written was true, every morning I showed up at the nurse's office.  She weighed me, then injected me with 125 IU of a natural substance called human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG).  She gave me a diet sheet setting out what foods I could and couldn't eat and told me exactly how much of each I was allowed.  She said I must stop using my face creams and body lotions.  She explained that any animal or vegetable fats or oils they contained would be absorbed through the skin and interfere with weightloss.  Meanwhile, my doctor friend forbade me to go for my morning run.  This was the one thing I loved doing each day and which I then believed was keeping my body reasonably lean.

"You don't need it," he said.  "Let the protocol do its job and just trust the process."

After one week on the Cura Romana protocol, eating protein foods like beef, fish and chicken plus green vegetables and a couple of pieces of fruit each day, I had already lost weight.  I'd experienced no hunger.  I had energy to spare.  I was sleeping as deeply and peacefully as a child yet seemed to need only six hours a night.  I would awake each morning full of excitement about the day ahead.  I couldn't remember ever having felt so good.

Want to hear more?  My skin glowed.  When I looked in the mirror I witnessed the true shape of my face emerging.  I realized that my bone structure had long been covered over by puffiness.  By the end of three weeks I had lost fat I had never been able to get rid of no matter how much I'd tried. All I did to make it happen was just to do as he said — I kept following the protocol day-by-day.  It was the revelation of how powerful, simple and effective Simeons' protocol can be that set me on a journey lasting two decades.  It was a journey based on a passion to share my own experience with others who still suffer as I once did from carrying a body which we know somewhere deep inside is not our true body and who long to discover what our true body is and live our lives through it.

This is the story behind how Leslie Kenton's Cura Romana® came into being. If you have long struggled with your weight as I have — with all the frustration, disappointment and self-criticism that comes with this — I hope that Cura Romana – The Roman Cure - may help you end the struggle forever.
