How Elvis Lost 60 Pounds in 60 Days
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) January 30, 2009 -- Michael O'Connor is nationally known as the Tribute Artist with the vocal sound and styling that best resembles his idol, Elvis Presley. At 41 years old O'Connor may sound the part, but his commitment to a healthier lifestyle this year resulted in a weight loss of 60 pounds in just 60 days. When O'Connor now takes the stage, his fans are delighted with the slimmer, more energetic Elvis he now portrays.
Eight months ago his story was very different.
O'Connor had just been signed to perform a tribute concert in Atlantic City at the House of Blues to commemorate the 31st anniversary of Elvis's passing. But, at 290 pounds, he couldn't portray the Elvis he wanted fans to see. He would need to lose the extra weight to give his best performance.
O'Connor explains, "People don't realize that the suit I wear to perform as Elvis weighs fifteen to twenty pounds, and the belt another five. To sing and move around the stage under those intense lights, doing sometimes two shows a night takes incredible endurance. At 290 pounds, I was afraid I might suffer a stroke."
His dedication to better health led him through Internet research to the Global Healing Center and Dr. Edward. F. Group III.
He read about Global Healing Center's Oxy-Powder®, the only colon cleansing product to have its impressive results backed by scientific clinical studies for safety, and effectiveness in dealing with constipation and IBS. He compared Oxy-Powder's results with other products advertised as colon cleansers, but found that Oxy-Powder was uniquely formulated to use the power of oxygen to safely aid the body in relieving irritation associated with constipation symptoms. It was also the only cleansing product that guaranteed results.
O'Connor followed Dr. Group's instructions for a six-day cleanse using Oxy-Powder®, and enjoyed immediate results. Besides dropping 60 pounds in just 60 days, he found that he gained more energy, was calmer, and more focused.
"Regular colon cleansing takes you to a higher level of consciousness that clears your mind and allows you to function better. It definitely changed my outlook and brought peace in my life," O'Connor said.
In addition to using Oxy-Powder®, he performed Dr. Group's liver and gallbladder, harmful organism and chemical and heavy metal cleanse. He's now a huge fan of body cleansing and has seen the results first hand. O'Connor credits his achievement to cleansing years of built-up toxins from his body.
O'Connor will turn 42 this year, the same age Elvis was when he died. Unlike Elvis, who at the end of his life was on a self-destructive path of drugs and alcohol, O'Connor feels better than he ever has in his life. The results he has achieved through regular colon cleansing and living a healthier lifestyle motivates him everyday to continue on his path to keep toxins out of his system.
"More people need to know about the benefits of Oxy-Powder® and regular colon and body cleansing. I'm just thankful I found GHC. Their products have changed my life."
