                  |  | Dear Karen,
 Thank you for great information and support.  I was able to speak to Susun last night as you suggested and it was wonderfull. We discussed drinking the herbal infusions daily and giving them to my daughter as well. I plan on drinking infusions daily and alternating between:  Stinging nettle, oatstraw, red clover, comfrey leaf and linden…
 Susun thought it would only benefit us both.
 I ordered Susun's book on menaupause.
 …
 Thank you so much for your help
 with gratitude,
 Nava

                  |  | Dear Susun,
 I have been reading your documents on Mammography and I agree completely with the comments of the medical fraternity and how it promotes a product that exposes the patient with the very thing that creates what it says it is trying to cure…

 … I was trying to find the 'Down There' book, but found this site instead.  I have read the 'New Menopausal Years'  and love the format.   I wish I could attend a
 workshop, but I am in San Francisco.  How lovely that you provide this Q &
 A.  Thank you so much.
 
 Blessings,

                  |  | Dear Susun,
 I have read many of your articles and feel your approach is very
 refreshing, I was particularly inspired by your writings on
 osteoporosis and candida. I read somewhere  you told someone
 their detox may be contributing to their problem and they should build
 up. The truth of that statement struck me - deep in my soul I feel
 your perspective is more harmonious with nature and therefore makes
 more sense. I would be so grateful to hear your perspective on my
 situation.
 thank you very very muchRachel

                  |  | Dear Susun Weed
 I was reading  your articles and ezines  during my pregnancy two years ago and they were great inspiration for me and a part of my preparation for home birth. Now, I am teaching yoga for pregnant women and would love to inspire them to look deeper in themselves in order to conect with feminine power within each of them. In my country, Serbia, women still deliver their babies in hospital, there is no puplic talks about natural childbirth, homebirth, etc. Women are mostly guided by men, technology, medicine. They are in fear when talk about birth. They need to look inside, to recognize, accept and awake they female power. I would love to do it for myself. To deepen that bond. In order to do that, I would love to put your article(s) on our website, in section for pregnancy. I would  love to translate your  Herbal Allies for Pregnancy Problems and Goddess is alive in Every Woman so I am asking your permision to do that. I will put  your name and link to your website, anyway. Hope that this is all right?!
 
 Many thanks for your wisdom and inspiration once again,
 Hope to hear from you soon.
 Best wishes
 Mirjana

 I am in the process of reversing my own disease since 2003.  Moving forward started with reading Healing Wise passed to me from a friend and learning and using those herbs. I really appreciate learning from you how to make it all taste its very best.

 I'm sure many women have told you and I tell you once more: thankyou, you contribute to the change in my life and help me get better. I'm an Italian feminist and yoga kundalini teacher, I'm working on a workshop about menopause and your sites, books, advices were so so precious.
 The goddess bless you, Paola

I have never met you, but I have read your books and given a good many away to pregnant mommas…Thank you for your time and help, and for all the strength already shared with me through Herbs for the Child Bearing Year.  I spent a lot of time by myself out in the "holler," as we call it, when my son was born.  Drinking red rasberry and nettle tea every day gave me a sense of companionship! Health and happiness to your family,jen osha

                  |  | Hello! I am a woman transitioning through menopause. I have tried the kundalinimeditation from the menopause meditation website and I found it to be really
 incredible. I am finding out just how much I supress my anger and my
 eroticism. The visualization and the breathing seem to release tension and
 anxiety, and I feel so alive and powerful - wonderful. I have done it just
 before sleep and it is followed by a dream which includes elements of
 sensual fulfillment. This is in contrast to the dreams of frustration I
 often have.
 I have done this meditation twice, one week apart. Since it seems sobeneficial, I plan to continue with it…
 Thanks for sharing this beautiful meditation. Marisa   |

 I found your interview on your website clarified some
 thoughts for me. I am not sure of the direction my life is going in, but it
 keeps seeming to revolve around plants and food. I tend to flit from one
 interest to the next and repeat the cycle.

                      Biography
 Susun 
                      S. Weed has no official diplomas of any kind; she left high
