Hey Cathi! So you were right... that did calm me yesterday! I only went to the
bathroom one more time after leaving your office yesterday, which is definitely
different from what I've been used to for the past 3 months! I told (my doctor) that
I altered my diet & have been seeing improvements so far, and feeling better than
before.He just gave me a look like "uh huh, yeah right!" And then he tried to talk me
into going on some more drugs. I don't get why I would need to if I was starting to
feel better?! We sort of just changed the subject and got out of there as soon as
we could! I really have been noticing little differences in how I feel, especially my
energy! & I'm really shocked at how well I've been doing with the diet change.
It's not so bad! ;) Can't wait for our next visit. I'll keep you updated like you asked!
It's so comforting to know that you care so much. Thank you for being you! :)

Dear Cathi, Just a note of thanks—I’m definitely feeling better. I believe the best way to describe how I’m beginning to feel is that I finally feel like I can breath again. My “core” just feels so much more relaxed. While I have felt awful with nausea and fatigue for a long time, it didn’t just happen “overnight” so until I started to feel better I did not realize how REALLY bad it was. I could barely get out of bed somedays—it often felt like a bus had just run me over. My breath always smelled—no matter what I did, I had heart palpitations, was severely constipated, was thirsty all the time, craved sugar constantly and periodically had extreme pain in my stomach and in the lower right side of my abdomen. Some days I really did not know what was going on or what to do as I was frustrated with no real concrete diagnosis or treatment from my Doctors. While I have been diagnosed over the years with other medical issues, these issues never seemed to explain all my symptoms. It seemed like they just wanted to label it and give me a pill but inside I knew something wasn’t right. It is hard to believe that I have been dealing with this for over seven years when I was first diagnosed with IBS and they didn’t know what was causing my severe constipation. I’m very hopeful that I will continue to feel better and am able to do more again in my life. Thank you!!

Hi Cathi, I just wanted to update you on how things are going. I haven't fully embraced the elimination diet yet. I have been eating up the groceries I had in the house when I saw you, and today, I go shopping for all the healthy stuff on the elimination diet. I HAVE however, drastically cut back on my sugar intake, which is progress for me! The big news is, my face looks 100% better!!!! While I'm not totally on the diet yet, I have been taking all the supplements you gave me and your recommendations for higher doses of vitamin D and omega-3 etc. I am sooooo excited that my face looks so much better after only a week! So I just wanted to say thank you so much for your help! And I will be looking forward to further results with the diet in the weeks to come. Thank you so much, I am so grateful for what you have done for me!

6/10-"Hi Cathi...o.k....so the only thing you haven't improved is my procrastination...that being said, I drink my warm lemon water every morning (not crazy about it but I still do it)...magnesium...iodine...vitamin D and the "secret cream"...and most importantly I have been following the blood type A diet...here is what has happened in 8 short weeks....I have more energy and I don't crash so hard at noon like I used to( in fact it is really hard to take the long nap that I used to) . Usually by this time of year I already have had allergy issues and a severe sinus infection due to them even with taking allergy meds....so far nothing as of yet and I have not taken allergy meds since we met. My bowel movements would make a man jealous!...much clearer thinking and not that heavy weighted feeling anymore...sleeping well at night...periods are 28 days apart...that hasn't happened in years...and to top it off, I have lost 8 lbs. !!!! Slowed down on the treadmill and started yoga ( I'm an A you know)...Thank-you for everything and I'll keep you posted with the ongoing progress...feel free to share this with others...(maybe I'll have a eat for your blood type special everyday at the Diner!) Love ya...Cathy"

6/10-"Cathi, thanks! I have been taking my stuff religiously and have cut out successfully all dairy (except a little feta on my salad), refined carbs/wheat, and splenda/artificial sweetener. I am adjusting to that and it takes a lot of will power, but I feel sooo much better. My face is clearing up, no headaches/brain fog, and I've already started losing some weight. I'm sleeping really well also, but am able to get up in the morning and have energy. My allergies are also doing much better from simplifying. The prgesterone is going well also! I am so grateful for your help, and while I know I have a long way to go, I am already seeing significant changes. I will call soon regarding an appt before I go back to school at the end of august. I'll stay in touch" *HT*

"Dear Cathi,
I want to tell you how you have changed my life. As you know, I went to the doctor for depression. They gave me pills, which I didn't like taking, so I stopped taking them.
My sister-in-law went to your class on Bio-Identical Hormones and said that everything you discussed was "ME". I felt awful, no interest in anything, lack of focus at work, always tired from not sleeping, "bitchy" as hell and gained about 20 lbs.
Then I did the saliva testing and did my life change. You started me on supplements and hormones. I can't tell you how much better I feel. I have energy. I have stared to lose a few pounds. I sleep at night without waking up. I look forward to living my live now!
Thank you for giving me my life back.
Love, Jeanne

"I have sufferred with pain and constipation almost all my life. I have had so many tests and they tell me I'm just constipated and I need to take Amitiza and Murilax. These medications made me feel sick and I was at my wits end. My life was horrible and I could never go out. I don't like to eat and feel sick all the time. A friend of mine told me about Journey to Health and I have now had 6 treatments and my life is so much better. We tried a few different supplements and FINALLY found a combination that worked! I also had parasites! These people really listen to you and they know what they are doing. I feel amazing and I have my life back. I can't say enough about his place. I will recommend it to everyone!--Ann C. Williamsville, NY

I am healthy and feel "normal" for the first time in many years. The best thing about Journey II Health is the staff. Everyone is friendly and encouraging. Cathi was wonderful to work with.

I have had many unsuccessful attempts at maintaining healthy weight, and have always had difficulty staying calm and enjoying life. Debora has designed an individual program that includes exercising, healthy eating, and reflective meditative practices. In just a short period of time, I have already lost 7 pounds and feel terrific. With her expertise and guidance, I have regained my "mojo" and am looking toward the future with a feeling of excitement that I have not had in a very long time. It's definitely working for me."-- D.B.
