Dear Susun:
This week I’ve reconnected with your teachings via the learningherbs teleconference and Wisdom Talks recordings (I’m going to start all the infusions you mentioned in the menopause program!). I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to the programs – I feel nourished just listening to your voice.
…
Thank you so much for all you have given to the world.

You books have helped me through pregnancy , breastfeeding, and helping
other women friends lost in the medical wasteland! They gave me the first
hope to find health and food in my actual backyard!
Thanks,

Hi Susun,
I am planning to use your advice as you are quoted in the Yoga Journal article listed below for kicking the caffeine addiction. …Most of the articles I have read on getting off caffeine all seem to belittle the effort, like "oh, one can easily quit in a week and you may or may not have a day or two of withdraw adjustment." The article below was the first I have ever seen that really took this addiction seriously and made practical suggestions for helping someone come off caffeine in a healthy way. So thank you very much for this article.
….
Thank you again!
Michael

I am a naturopath and run a women's health clinic in Israel. I have come across a recipe that stops hot flashes within a day or two in over 90 % of the women that I have recommended it to.
Boil 5 cups of organic black beans in 5 cups of water in a covered pot for 1 hour. Strain the juice and drink 1/2 cup of juice 3 times a day between meals.
This recipe works according Chinese Medicine philosophy and raises cooling yin energy which is very low during peri-menopause.
Good luck,
Linda

Medicine Making Kit. The kit, the book and the teleconference have been the
most inspiring and fun stuff I've ever given myself.

Dear Susun,
Lately I have been rediscovering your work through your teleconference with John Gallagher. (I used your Childbearing Years book when I was pregnant) But now, after a couple of years and finding that I am understanding your perspective in a profoundly different way and wish to honour the wise woman tradition more than I have. …

… I really really appreciate all of the work and resources
that you have available for women and health. It is such a positive,
down to earth, our health is in our own hands approach.
I remember the day when I had more time to get together with my women
friends more and we would share things about our health. It is great to
have your discussion groups available.
best wishes and green blessings,
Kim
