"Hi John,
I asked my mother how she felt after the consultation. She was absolutely overwhelmed by you!! She was very nervous before the call, and said that within 5 seconds, she could sense that she could trust you. And, that is not something that normally happens with my mom, especially when it comes to her personal matters. She was very excited about all of the ideas that you had for her, and she plans to start making some changes.
Her main feedback was the sense of compassion and understanding that you had in speaking with her. She has been bounced around by the doctors, ignored at times, and really has felt alone through this whole experience, that no skilled professional really cares. Interestingly (and of course coincidentally, ha!) I picked up a book by Norman Cousins (a book that has been laying around my house for months, called Anatomy of an Illness), and was reading it the night before your phone call. Norman Cousins basically cured himself of a terminal illness, in the face of doctors saying he had no chance of survival. He said that having a caring professional who will listen can mean the difference in staying alive or giving in.
My mom has been somewhat in limbo for the last few years, waiting for someone to listen to her and care. And, even though it was just an hour phone call you provided, she sounded enthusiastic and excited about making the effort to take care of herself. I was teared up listening to her… "Well, John said that if I eat cilantro, that will help with my bladder infections… can you believe cilantro???"… and "John said that my popcorn habit may not be very beneficial, so he suggested I try baked apples, doesn't that sound delicious??" And the soup, the broth, all of your wonderful ideas… I think she may even try the oiling!!
Anyway, John, you have been our winter angel. The positive, trusting, healing energy you have provided has helped make our holiday so special!!
Thank you, God Bless…
Have a wonderful holiday :)))

"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've been utilizing the website for some recipes recently, and I've started to realize that my intestines have never felt better. Alot of anxiety may have been caused by my eating habits and digestion alone, then? It's like a warm feeling in my lower abdomen rather than a puffing or pain. Wonderful! How did your stay go?"
