I, am one of them. I can't say it's been easy and we have all the symptoms in that book. We even have your tapes, autographed copies, and other publications from your site. ….
You look better than ever from your video of 1989. Go Girl!
Sincerely,
Joanne

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 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:
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

Menopause. You are truly a God send.

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.
