"Where do I get a similar cup? It's so nice !"
"As I continue to work on my paper, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude for what I Ave learned this past nine months. Honestly, it is just amazing. John Joseph Immel, how can I even create a thesis that is more or better than the lecture you gave us regarding constipation? How?? When I read your words, I can visualize what is happening in the gut, I can feel the anguish and the straining of the intestines, and I can vision the alarm of the heart and nerves as they frantically call out forcrelief. I do not mean to be dramatic, but I truly just want to have a half-page Thesis that says, \"What John said.\""
"I wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed the consultation. I felt peaceful and more serene than I have for years for days afterward. The positive nature of the talk and your quiet voice caused these good responses."
"You keep it simple and also have a sense of humor about it all. That's very important to me."
"I never realized so much of what we struggle with all starts with digestion. Joyful Bellys program is beautifully designed. It takes you through the entire digestive tract, guiding you to a better understanding of its different components, while teaching and applying ayurvedic concepts as they apply to ailments that much of society struggles with."
"Dear John,
My friend asked me what online school is like, I responded and said I think it depends on the teachers because despite having never met my teachers or the other students, I never feel as if I'm alone. With whatever concern we have we're heard, and we're heard quickly.
Much gratitude to this wonderful program you've created."
"Thank you so much for offering the Kapha presentation this evening. I have recently completed my education in Ayurvedic Nutrition and found your website in looking for resource material. The information was presented very well. Ayurveda, though fascinating, can be daunting. What you offered was so easy to absorb and follow and shows how much you understand of Kapha."
"I found the anatomy and physiology parts and the self-study about digestion to be absolutely invaluable!"
"it only makes sense that knowledge that is over 4 thousand years old, designed to work harmoniously WITH our bodies and the natural world is effective, with minimal (ACTUALLY NONE!) negative effects. The PRICE for this is that the *patient *has to accept responsibility and *actively participate *in his recovery--(rather than the horrific 'Take this pill, and never mind the side effects' method of 'modern' medicine)"
"I have to say, I really enjoyed this course and I feel it is the most comprehensive and interesting course out there. It was very intense!"
"Thank-you very much John. You have a great website and really really delicious healthy recipes. I feel better already! I am very interested in studying Ayurveda further however live far away from Albuquerque, so may join some of your classes.

"John's suggestion to eat nothing but kitcheri to help my psoriasis and digestion has been the most useful advice I have gotten after a year of trying other cleanses with powders in smoothies for protein."
"I have been "self-studying" ayurveda for about 7 years now, and my very first introduction to it (I had never heard of it before!) was when my yoga teacher told me to "go to joyfulbelly.com" Since then I have been reading as much as I can, subscribe to your mailing list, and browse through the many recipes. I would like to now go a step further in my journey, and begin to help OTHERS find wellness through ayurveda. The Joyful Belly site has been so helpful in my own journey, that I am interested in furthering my education through the school."
"This is such good information. I have a mild scoliosis and twisting and back bend yoga poses have been troublesome in the past. Now I understand why."
"I'm grateful for the experience and feel that I am coming away with a deeper understanding of Ayurveda. I hope to continue with this path."
