Dear Susun,

Myself along with a dozen women in my company are going thru menopause. What a ride! Two of us have decided to go thru our change following your book "New Menopausal Years The Wise Woman Way" to a T.

Thank you for all of your wonderful info --

I try to keep extra books on hand to give out to young women that are expecting babies and I even gave away your book on breast health to a friend of mine for her daughter -- her daughter came up to me a few weeks ago and said that she was finally making headway with her problems --

Thank you Susun for all of your research and wisdom

Hello!
I have recently been given a copy of your book Healing Wise. I am on a path of self cleansing a spiritual growth-dragging my husband and two small boys along! Your book has been a phenominal push for me. I am right now steeping dandelions for syrup. It was a recipe I decided to make when the boys picked me a tonka truck full of blossoms and I had everything else on hand already. I found the recipe in your book…. I thank you for your time and your wonderful inspirational information.

Sincerely,
Keoma

 

 

I have also made a fabulous mistake. I would like to share it with Susun and yourself.

I was making my Dandelion Syrup and had it asimmer. I went past the syrup stage and directly to the hard crack candy stage. Oops, right? Blessedly wrong! It turned into a really thick caramel and the next morning it was inpenetrable. So I re heated it (it was in a quart mason) by setting it in a sauce pan of boiling water. Then I poured it on a sheet of wax paper covered in sesame seeds. I rolled the sticky clump into long snakes and let them cool. (Very tempting at this point) But when they were cool I cut them into small pieces and shared them with my family. To make a long story short, I have invented Dandelion Sesame Chews. Chewies my boys call them. They are a real delight.
Thank you so much for the information and the great push I needed to get my life on a real path. My whole family benefits. I will most definately visit the forum and thank you for letting me know of it.

Sincerely,
Keoma

Dearest Susun Weed-

I am following the recommendations in your Breast Health Book to heal a breast lump, for the second time. I healed one 8 years ago, forgot my lessons, and and now relearning them. I came to your website after searching for more information. Other sites tease with a little info, more promised if you send money. I am filled with Gratitude for what you offer freely on your site. I found exactly what I needed.

May your life be filled with blessings, as I feel blessed to have your books in my life.
Thank you, Thank you , Thank You,
Love,
Diana

Hello

I'm a fan and have been to a number of workshops and have quite a few of Susun's books. …

Katherine

 

 

Hello Susun,

I am currently in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy and have been reading your book ‘The Childbearing Year’ (which was recommended to me by my doula).
The natural ways of healing are of a great interest to me and I was glad to find your book and read about all the herbs and the natural methods of how to stay healthy and/or how to cure with a better understanding (and respect) to our complex as a whole.

Thanks & all the very best,
Shelli


 

Dear Susun.

You and your books have been a key guide for me for years.
I was blessed to be at your workshop here in Madison WI some years ago.
With best wishes,

kenna

 

 

Dear Susun:

I am 51 years old, mostly vegetarian all my life (do add some fish now),
and have been experiencing pre-menopausal symptoms. Because both my
grandmother and mother went into an early surgical menopause I don't have
any female support or knowledge.

When I discovered your book I felt like you were an answer to my prayer. I was beginning to feel really terrible with lots of bleeding, anemia, heart palpitations, insomnia, hypoglycemia, fight or flight etc. It was a very confusing time and I didn't feel like I
knew myself anymore. I began making nettle infusion and oat straw infusion
and alternating every other day. I also began taking the anemia prevention
infusion once a month that you provide in your book about childbearing.
I have been greatly helped.

I still have heart palpitations and hypoglycemia, but the other symptoms are
greatly diminished. …Please put me on your email list so that I can get news from you. I would like to look into the classes you offer.

Blessings!

Lisa

 

 

I have recommended your book to so may people that are also going through
Menopause. You are truly a God send.


God Bless

Rose

 

 

I just finished reading your menopause book and loved it. I am 54 years old and still having regular periods… I'm fixing my herbal infusions according to the directions in your book and I can really feel the difference from the extra steeping time. I even turned my husband on to it. Thanks for your help.

Patricia

 


 

Hi Susun,

I have been told that I have all the systoms of fibromyalgia. I was lead to your web site. I just know that your insight will help my body that aches all over at 52 years old.
I will keep you posted on how the infusion help me - I am beginning a new diary today using herbals.

Peace and Blessing on to YOU
Pastor Linda
