Thank you very much for helping me overcome my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

It has only been four weeks so far, but I’m feeling incredibly better. I had been sick for a year and a half, and even though I had been improving it was so slow that it was almost unnoticeable. I could tell I was better than I had been a year ago, but I couldn’t tell if I was improved from two months ago.

Since I started on the herbs I was able to notice improvement in the first 48 hours, and it keeps getting stronger each day. My only real problem with the herb therapy is I feel so much better I forget to rest as much as you said I should.

I must admit I was rather skeptical when you told me I should not exercise during this therapy. I thought the exercise was the only thing that was keeping me going. My heart used to race rapidly for no apparent reason and I thought walking was helpful.

Since I started the herbs and began to feel better so soon, I thought I would try following the rest of your advise and stop exercising. I was really surprised at the results! My heart does not race anymore and I can now make it upstairs at home and at work without getting out of breath anymore.

I used to wake up six to ten times during the night, but now I fall asleep easily and sleep through the night.

I had thought I might be sick for many more months, or even years at the rate I was going. I still have a ways to go, but now I realize it is almost over.

My husband, my parents, two co-workers, and a friend were so impressed with my results that they are now firm believers in herbs and will be coming to see you for their own ailments.

I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found you.

Thank you very much, Jill

When I first visited Herbs & More, I had felt terrible for such a long time that I really didn’t realize how bad I truly was. I was so exhausted all the time. I woke up tired and hurt all over. The doctor told me I was in great shape, and should continue my aerobics and occasional jogging. The problem was, when I exercised, I had no energy left for anything else. Vitamins didn’t help at all and seemed to make a constipation problem even worse. I wasn’t sleeping and suffered from muscle cramps, so the doctor prescribed a mild tranquilizer. I was drinking coffee and craved sugar and sweets.

After sitting down with Steve for an Iridoligy reading, he put me on a program of herbs and rest. Everything he said made sense to me and so I followed his advise exactly. I began to feel better around the second week and at the end of the first month, could see a tremendous difference in my energy level and all over feeling of well being. I gave up the coffee and no longer crave sweets. It’s been about six weeks now and I am beginning to sleep well. When I get up in the morning now I feel good and my energy level is still increasing. I’m looking forward to being in good health and am grateful to Steve for all his advise and especially for caring.

Sincerely, Judy

I am 19 years old and came to Steve one day to pick up some simple herbs and while I was there I thought I would ask him if he could recommend a product for my acne problems. I’d tried every doctor and every medicine possible, and nothing worked until the herbs Steve gave me (Female Comfort with Dong Quai). After that I came to Steve with all of my problems. For about five years I have been feeling extremely tired, moody, and had problems concentrating on my school work. Steve put me on a program for about four months. I had to completely stop exercising while I took my herbs, and I was so worried I would gain weight and nothing would change. Was I ever wrong! I actually lost weight because for once my body was balancing itself out!

Today I feel wonderful. I have more energy than I ever imagined possible. I used to be a bit skeptical of herbs because society raises you to believe medicines and doctors are the only ones that can cure your problems. I now have more faith in Steve than any of my doctors!

What he has done for me has truly been a miracle. I will always come back to him.

Since being on the Chronic Fatigue herbal program in June, there has definitely been a change in the way I feel.

I sleep much better and more soundly. I was waking numerous times during the night, and then having difficulty getting up when the alarm went off. Now, even though I wake up, I am able to sleep in a deeper state and, therefore, feel rested when I wake.

My energy level is much higher. Not only do I have more energy, but the level of energy itself is higher. I have to be careful and make myself stop BEFORE I get tired as I have a habit of going as long as I feel I can. Now, I limit myself BEFORE I tire.

I feel more alert and as if my mind is much clearer. Before it was as if I was almost in a fog-like state.

When I am tired, it is a "healthy" tired. Before I would be so tired that I would almost be sick – sore throat – and that would tell me I needed extra rest.

There is a feeling of relaxation – more of an even feeling, bot so much emotions up and down – even though there is the same amount of stress, etc.

Last, but not least, my nails are in the best condition I have ever had them

When I first came to see Steve I was in bad shape, suffering from Chronic Fatigue and Candidiasis. I had been on an anti-candida program for at least four months. Dairy, fruit, sugar, and carbohydrates were all eliminated from my diet, which didn’t leave me much else but protein and vegetables. I had also tried treatment with nystatin, which had terrible side effects. Neither program seemed to make any difference or improvement. I was afraid my problem would never go away. Then I heard about Herbs & More. At this point I had tried everything and was open to any possible solution. At first I was uncertain about how looking in my eyes and doing a muscle test would determine my problems. I found out that I had been in a switch condition, which had made my attempts to cure myself useless, and my body just was not working right.

So, Steve figured out which herbs would work for me to change back my switch condition. About four or five days after I started taking the herbs I felt very tired and a little achy, but about three or four days after that I progressively began to feel better. My energy level increased and my candida symptoms began to lessen and I slowly began to include a larger diet, excluding sugar. Here I am two months later on a maintenance dosage (only for a month) of my herbs, for treatment of the switch condition, resting and not over exerting myself is a very important part of treatment. I have complete confidence that Steve will now be able to help rid myself of my candida problem.

Gratefully, Michelle

I’ve been on the "switch program" for about three weeks now, and I’ve already felt dramatic results. I’ve been suffering from Candida and Chronic Fatigue for about one and a half years now (in an extreme way-my health hasn’t been great for about five years, though). I’ve gone to many medical doctors as well as acupuncturists, chiropractors, etc. When I discovered chiropractics, I thought my health problems were almost solved. I had such great results, but my problems lingered and I discovered the "switch program". Now, doing both, I’m improving at a faster pace than ever before!

In the last three weeks I’ve felt less "yeasty" and drained. I wake up more rested daily, my spirits are better, I have more stamina at work (ie. I can go 5-6 hours without feeling like my legs would buckle under me with fatigue). And, most importantly, I have my mind back! My Candida reactions to certain foods and certain allergens caused me to space out and feel exhausted mentally. I had memory problems and often felt like I could cry for almost no reason. So, I’m feeling more like myself every day. It is wonderful and I hope to continue this improvement!

I thought this would be a good time to let you know how I’m recharging – as I’m waiting for the car’s battery to be checked!

When I walked into your store on Dec. 26, 1994 I remember feeling so exhausted, after many years of working through various family crisises. You assessed me as having a switch pattern, chronic fatigue, depression, aching joints, lack of concentration, etc. However, I also knew I needed another approach to my health integration because the various other healing techniques were helping, but not getting to the source of my problem.

I’ve been taking the herbs you recommended for almost four months, and the difference I feel is remarkable. I noticed right away that I could support my neck and head on my own, without feeling I had to lie down on the floor all the time. My back began getting stronger. I took your advise and rested a lot, which was important, although it did prevent me from working with clay a lot. In the long run it has paid off. Throughout, I feel spirts of energy.

I now can begin exercising again as my body is wanting it, in the form of walking and swimming. Work is no longer a struggle, mentally and physically, but I hadn’t done it in 15 years. I even laugh again!! My concentration is much more focused and I don’t feel that low feeling of "depression" and feeling stuck.

The physical therapist, who has been working with me on cranial-sacral work along with an osteopathic dentist, says she feels such a difference in the visceral organs (the connecting tissue is getting softer and different).

I’m very grateful that you were assertive with me because I really walked in to get help with the bronchial condition, which came about with my brother’s death in San Diego on Dec. 15. You were very intuitive and sensitive.

I plan on continually taking the herbs, and also plan on a visit to San Diego this year so we can have another consultation!

Again, thanks for your help.

Warm regards, Sandy           
        
p.s. the car needs a new battery, too!!!

When I first came in I was feeling very stressed and irritable with an extremely short fuse. If someone, family, friend, fellow-worker, crossed my path at the wrong time I would absolutely blast them. They did best to avoid me when I was in "one of those moods." Since I have been on the herb treatment I have noticed a great change in my attitude. I am much more pleasant to be around and things going wrong at work (school bus driver) or at home just don’t get to me like they used to.

Recently I ran out of the herbs and didn’t get back over for more (missed at least two weeks). I noticed, and so did my husband, that I was slipping backward. Last night I blew up at my young adult children in a way I hadn’t done in months. I immediately recognized the tired, worn-out, over stressed me. This morning I even unplugged the phone so I wouldn’t have to talk to anyone and worried people at work, except those that know what I have been doing.

The difference from before and when I was feeling better is like night and day, a good hapypy me and an unattractive, ugly me.

Thank you, Steve, you really have helped me to improve my life and give me the "old me" back!

Ever since I finished taking the herbs that Steve prescribed for my condition of being "switched", I have noticed a big difference at a deep emotional level. I feel that I am now a lot more balanced both psychologically and emotionally. Things that always drove me crazy I am now approaching with patience.

I have been doing a lot of spiritual work and I feel together with the herbs. I am at a level where I am able to manifest many things in my life.

In August of 1993 I walked into "Herbs & More" simply looking for some advise herbally for a long-standing problem I have had with…constipation. Little did I know that in that visit Steve would address a much larger problem I had been dealing with. After doing a quick iridology evaluation, Steve started asking me what else was up in my life. He started asking me if I had been feeling depressed, low energy, low immune system, low sexual drive, etc. He was so "right-on" with everything. I nearly cried. As a female in my mid 20’s, I am constantly evaluating my life. Am I doing the right thing, what will make my life meaningful? I often fall victim to life’s crazy angst. Steve suggested a dosage of herbs to help me combat what he called "chronic fatigue." After six months I sit here in the store asking for a new supply. I am feeling amazingly better, much more capable of dealing with the emotional stress life throws at me. As I told Steve today, six months ago I was very bummed out. I didn’t feel close to the high energy, present, person I usually am. I’m not completely where I used to be (life has a way of wearing you down), but I’m feeling happy, much stonger, and I believe in the power of herbs, relaxation, and yourself! And, by the way, some vegetables have helped my constipation beautifully!

Much peace,
