  I did it on my Carnival cruise; and, I'm a little skeptical. I'm a registered nurse; and, I had to study anatomy and physiology in school. During the seminar that was supposed to funnel us into the treatment, I heard giant leaps taken with small truths. I'd sooner go back to my textbooks and review before I'd buy products based on what I heard from the therapists (if they really are...you don't have to be licensed to practice in international waters) and their sales literature. But, more to the point, I've done a fair amount of selling in my day. First, point out the customer's need. In my case, the therapist pointed out my "areas of jiggly fat". Next, create a baseline to show your product works. In my case, the therapist insisted on measuring FROM BEHIND. Next, give out the free sample...the fairly reasonable treatment. Now, here's the hook: show immediate results...the therapist measured me FROM BEHIND again, and I'd 'lost' 6.5 inches. By then, I was supposed to be so excited that I would be more than willing to fork over my hard-earned cash for the suggested 60-day regimen, costing $900-$1200 (depending on whether you buy it at the regular price, or for the 'discounted' price there on the ship.) Mind you, you can pay $400-$500 for 24 days; and up to $5,000-$6,000 for a year's supply. I paid $129 for the treatment; and, it was a fun romp that satisfied my curiosity. But as far as buying the products, the therapist lost me at the measuring-from-behind part. Like I said, I've done my share of selling.
