Natural High® Testimonials

“You've made another hit with Natural High 3 for our students to think about what kind of life they have the power to create with making the decision to be drug free and to reach for natural highs! My 5th and 6th grade students love these DVD's. You have found a powerful tool to help lead the way in educating our young people, our future leaders, in making healthy decisions for themselves. It gets more challenging each year to reach our young with a message that they will pay attention to and hopefully a message that will guide them to create natural highs. Your DVD's support those of us in education in guiding our young with a very important message. Thank you for devoting your talents to educating the young and the future of our country about making healthy, drug-free decisions!”

“I can't thank you enough for the Natural High videos and for founding the Sundt Memorial to honor of the memory of your brothers. I received a copy of the Natural High 2 video last year . . . . free- (I couldn't believe it!). As an elementary school counselor I lead the Red Ribbon Anti-Drug week activities at our school and I showed the video to my 4th graders. They loved it. It really is the best anti-drug material I've ever seen in almost 30 years of education. Thank you so much for all the accompanying resources for parents and teachers on the website too. I received a copy of NH3 this year and plan to show it to all the 5th graders. Thank you again.”

"I took the advice of the athletes in Natural High 2 and now I use my natural high (basketball) to stay drug free and solve my problems. Before I saw Natural High 2 I didn't have a cool way to stay drug free, like natural highs. I will always keep the words of those great athletes in my mind."
- Adam, Student

"Death, car crashes, and over dosing, as influential and shocking as they are, have been over-used and although students know the seriousness of the situations, we stop listening. This video gave new life to the subject. As I looked around the room, I saw certain children hold back gasps and eyes widen as they heard celebrities and sports stars talk about their experience with drugs, alcohol and relationships."

- Denise, Student

"Keep the videos coming. As a teacher, I learned that the video has a powerful message not only to students but to adults as well. Using these well known athletes and performers makes it that much more realistic to these teenagers. Teenagers love stars and like to listen to what they have to say, whether they are saying what is in to wear or to stay away from drugs. I just can't express how awesome this video is other than it is pretty much the complete package when it comes to drug prevention."
- Joshua Martinez, Teacher, New Braunfels Middle School, TX

"During the movie I saw how drugs can ruin and kill dreams. Peer pressure exists even in famous people's lives. I thought it was inspiring that the movie showed all the athletes not doing drugs. It was amazing how they stood up to peer pressure. They showed me that I too, can ignore the others and do what I know is right."

- Brady, Student

"After I watched the movie, Natural High, I learned that people can succeed without drugs. When I saw Laird Hamilton on this video I was shocked because I surf and I really look up to him. He is one of my favorite surfers and I for sure now will stay drug free. Surfing is an ideal anti drug."
- Cameron, Student 

“I am so excited that I just received Natural High 3 in the mail.  I have been using Natural High 2 for the last couple of years.  This is a DVD that actually holds the students interest from beginning to end.  I like the fact that the DVD offers real life suggestions for staying drug free.  The students really listened to the sports figures in Natural High 2 so much better than they listen to “old” people like me (age 45)!  I am excited to view the new DVD and share it with my students!  Thank you!!

"The high energy is great. The kids liked the movement, and the skills that these people were able to do. I kept hearing "that is so tight", which in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade lingo means two thumbs up. It was great you picked people that these young people would be aware of. Lastly, none of the people were talking down to my students, they were talking to them. The kids were able to relate real well to the sports, and the music. It was fast action, and high interest. I would give you all three thumbs up if I had them. Keep up the good work, and may God Bless you all on your journey, as you continue to plant seeds in kids lives and hearts."
- Patricia Kutach, Teacher, TX

"The advice from the movie taught me what to do to stay drug free. Drugs create a false reality which isn't as good as a real reality. Sure in a false reality you can float in la la land, but a positive reality can give you a natural high. A natural high is a talent that you have that keeps you away from drugs. Having talent doesn't mean it comes naturally, it means having to work for something you enjoy. Your natural high can be your one way ticket away from drugs. This is how the movie taught me to be drug free."
- Sara, Student

"Natural High 2 was absolutely excellent. I have been teaching a drug and alcohol prevention unit for the past couple weeks and this by far made the biggest impact."
- Emily Adkins, Teacher, OH

"Natural High 2 was WONDERFUL!!! Whoever made the decisions for the video were right in tune with the kids' interests and music style. Thank you. It was an excellent way to send the message of Red Ribbon Week and making life altering decisions/goals. The kids received the message loud and clear from the video. It really kept their attention and got them excited to talk about the sports activities and the negative impact of using drugs, alcohol, and tobacco."
- Carla Kohler, Teacher, Northwood Elementary School, OH

"I have learned from Natural High 2 that I don't need drugs. I get a natural high from sports and debate. Like the show said, "Without the side effects." I'm not missing out on anything by choosing to stay drug-free."
- Nicole, Student

"I used the video the same day it arrived in the mail! The timing was perfect as a teacher asked me to do a presentation related to substance abuse. I feel the students really paid attention to this video as it did not focus on the side effects of drug abuse, which they've already had drummed into them. It gave us the chance to talk about future goals and how drugs/alcohol use would change those goals. A VERY worthwhile endeavor, keep up the great work! Thanks!"
