Here are a few heart-warming testimonials from our Vitamix owners that describe the health benefits they enjoyed by using their Vitamix machine.
"Dear Total Nutrition Center,
I bought my Vitamix from Total Nutrition Center over 6 months ago now and received simply great service. Since that time the machine has performed flawlessly, and mine gets worked quite hard - I only eat through a tube and many of the blends I make up have tough raw items in them. I love that I don't even have to cut up a sweet potato to blend it up!
When I decided to get into a blenderized diet I researched all the options available and the Vitamix came up trumps in every department. Little things can make a big difference. It's so easy to clean - it cleans itself. The switches are robust and the analog dial is so much better than pressing buttons and having to run a whole program like you do with some other blenders. It's so obviously well-made, and made to last; even the little rubber feet are good quality heavy-duty items. But really the things I love most about it are ease of use, and the end product. I just toss in everything I want for my blend, no special preparation involved, ramp up the power, give it a couple of minutes, and I get a perfectly smooth mixture ready to use. Even hard little seeds like flaxseed don't stand a chance. I haven't clogged my tube with a blend yet!
If my Vitamix ever does die, like if it got hit by a piece of hurtling space junk or a truck or something, I'd not hesitate in buying another from Total Nutrition Center. In red this time, now that it's available."

"Dear Total Nutrition Center,
I have been using the Vitamix for 6 months now and making green smoothies every morning. The main thing I noticed was I hadn't gotten a cold for all that time and I generally catch them really easily! Not only has it boosted my immune system and raised energy levels, people have commented on how healthy I look.
Also my nephew Kade (as seen in the picture right), only 2 years old preffers green smoothies instead of chocolate and he'll drink the smoothie but won't eat the actual fruit or vegies, so he is clueless he is eating spinach, asparagus and all that healthy stuff. Thanks Vitamix!"

"Dear Tom / Leah,
My family and I are vegans which mean that we have lots of reasons to use a Vitamix. Matter of fact, after we bought one, it didn’t take very long before we realized that we needed more than just one Vitamix.
I have found the Vitamix blender to be reliable and just keep on going no matter how much it gets used. The Vitamix is also very versatile and with all the different foods that are required to be blended, creamed, chopped, buttered etc. the Vitamix shines through every time. I would definitely recommend the Vitamix to anyone interested in getting a super-duper blender.
I would to also mention the fantastic service the family business at Total Nutrition Center provides. It is obvious to me that they are dedicated and committed to providing the best possible assistance to all their customers. I believe this also gives the Vitamix Company a good name.
Thanks to the team at Total Nutrition Center! It is much appreciated."

(Below is an extract of a testimony on how the Vitamix has helped ‘Grant the Champ’ so wonderfully)
"Hello Tom and Leah,
Grant has benefited wonderfully with being fed blended meals via the Vitamix.
Just after Grant’s birth he was diagnosed with infantile myoclonic epilepsy with developmental delay; an extremely serious form of brain injury. The senior neurologist at the children’s hospital said that Grant was the worst case, level of brain injury that he had ever seen. He gave Grant from one to two years life expectancy.
When Grant was about 11 years old, his paediatrician suggested that Grant needed to be PEG fed. Grant had the operation and we started feeding him tinned formulas via the PEG. During this time we noticed that Grant’s bowel movements were still not particularly good. About 3 years ago, a psychologist suggested that we start feeding Grant blended meals. Very slowly over a period of approximately 4 months we weaned Grant off the formula over to homemade blended meals, with the psychologist closely monitoring.
We noticed remarkable improvements with Vitamix feeding and wonderful improvements in Grant’s well being when he started having homemade meals. When Grant started the blended diet he went for 7 weeks without any major seizures, his bowel movements became regular/normal and he now almost never became clammy and sweaty. We love preparing wholesome meals for Grant. It is something that we can do for him which is so beneficial.

“Dear Vitamix,
My husband had throat cancer and needed pureed foods and had a feeding tube for 4 months. The Vitamix, I believe, was a life saver! A friend had bought it for us. My husband, Greg, could get good organic food in him to do all the repair work his body needed in an easy way. Now, he is clean, healthy and continues to make power drinks every day!
My husband continues to amaze the doctors of his speedy recovery. Greg's body has been built back up in such a strong way that he's healthier than he was before he got sick.
I like being able to use the whole foods in its raw state, thereby getting all the fiber, nutrients and enzymes to improve and enhance our health. The Vitamix saved me time - I work many hours and being able to literally throw the food in the machine and flip a switch was great! I'm a real advocate of your machine and we've sold many people on the machine. I've given many recipes out to people that own it and have given mini classes on it.”

“Dear Vitamix,
One day during my chemo treatments, my doctor leaned over and smirked at me saying, “I don't know what you're doing, keep doing it!” I attribute my incredibly fast recovery and good health, to my wife Michelle research on nutrition and the Vitamix's capability to process the foods for us.
When I began my Chemo treatments all I could ingest was Ensure, because until we got the Vitamix my feeding tube kept getting clogged. The Vitamix allowed me to begin eating whole foods again. The Vitamix also helped me while I relearned how to swallow.”

“I believe it has been a major part of a near-miraculous recovery from concurrent bouts with advanced cancer and heart disease.”

“Dear Vitamix,
I had arthritis so bad I could hardly walk. Then I started making whole food juice in the Vitamix. I juice oranges, apples, bananas and pineapples every day.
I juice vegetables too. Now I do not take any medications, laxatives, or anything and I have no problems walking. I have had my Vitamix for over 6 years and there is no comparison.
I can't put a price on what the Vitamix has done for my health.”

“Dear Vitamix,
We are both suffering from high cholesterol, my own has been 257.
After purchasing our Vitamix machine I read through the booklets that came with it to see what foods would be beneficial in lowering my cholesterol level. I have used a combination of 1 cup soy milk blended with ¾ cup oats, honey to taste, and strawberries or raspberries (1/2 c). In three weeks of consuming this at breakfast, my cholesterol has come down 32 points to 224!!! It would not have happened if not for this wonderful machine that made it so very easy and fast to prepare.”
