When I first began seeing Josephine, I had high blood pressure and I was taking four prescription medications for asthma and allergies every day.  That was in December 2004.  I had been seeing another practitioner for colon hydrotherapy but was unhappy about the amount of “pills” that he recommended I take.  I was convinced that there was a way to achieve health through diet alone without “pills”.  Then I met Josephine and she understood my desire to eliminate taking medication and achieve health through what I ate and how I ate it.  The first thing she recommended to me was to begin “juicing”.

I took me a little while but I eventually followed her advice and changed my dietary habits.  I now juice regularly and follow a modest diet of green food products in the morning, a green salad at lunch and veggies and a protein at evening meal.  I also get a colon hydrotherapy regularly and have added two-seasonal “fasts” to my regime.

It was slow going at first and I almost gave up a couple of times, but Josephine is so energizing and inspirational that I kept up with the program.  I now can say they my blood pressure is within normal ranges and I no longer take any medication for allergies or asthma and have been symptom free for a long while.

I cannot say enough about the changes that have come about in my body since I met Josephine and began to follow her advice.  I am not always the best about following regime, but when I fall, I know what to do to get back on track and I do.  I also have added goals regarding my overall health and I know that Josephine can help me reach any goal I set for myself because she understands me as a person.  Many practitioners treat only your body and not your “spirit” but Josephine does both.  I feel she knows my heart and cares about me as a person.  I cannot tell you how often I have called her in some sort of “physical crisis” and she has made time to see me or talk me through any issues.

Josephine has been a blessing to me in more ways than I can enumerate and I am grateful that she came into my life.

Before seeing Josephine, I was severely impacted from years of using caffeine as a laxative and using other forms of laxatives as well.  With Josephine’s gentle manner and hydrotherapy experience, after 10 colonics over a few months, I finally was regular again without using any stimulants.  In addition, with Josephine’s urging I learned how to listen to my body eating a healthy diet of fruits, vegetables, and fish.  I feel better and enjoy food more than I have in years.

I owe Josephine a great deal and am thankful I found her.

After spending two years commuting to St. Louis five days a week from my home in Franklin, I was so run down that I hardly had energy to go out of my house on the weekend.  Josephine has put me on a vitamin program to build my energy levels and to strengthen my immune system so that I would not catch every cold and flu bug that passed by.

I am proud to say that after four months on Josephine’s prescribed plan, I have great energy and have not been sick or found the need to go to the doctor for health problem.  Not only am I feeling much better, I am especially happy that I am doing something positive for myself.

I had trouble with my weight and had struggled with my health and foods for a long time.  I heard about Josephine and decided to go and see her.  I had colonic hydrotherapy and changed the foods that I ate.  I thought I couldn’t handle changing what I did, but with Josephine’s help, I have changed my diet and I am now down from 154 to 124.  I am very happy and fl great.  I plan to have colonic every month.

Thank you Josephine 

I decided to see Josephine after attending one of her free nutrition lectures.  I was seeing another nutritionist at time but after hearing Josephine’s philosophy and approach I was convinced that a change was necessary.  I worked with Josephine in developing a healthy and positive diet to maximize my health.  I continue to work with Josephine with ongoing health and food issues and have found significant changes on my overall well-being.  Josephine has always approached our work together with patience and care.  She has such a positive and empowering attitude towards taking care of your mind and body.  I find her to be a true inspiration.

Dear Josephine:

I am feeling well now, almost back to where I was before I went in the hospital last August.  Your diet is working for me.  My cholesterol level has improved enormously.  In June my total cholesterol was down to 185 mg/dL, about 17% from where it had been for years (about 220 mg/dL).  I attribute much of the success to your good recommendations.

Dear Josephine:

It’s been a year since my first appointment with you.  I have had many successes with your guidance.  I am totally sugar free for one year; I have lost 45 pounds; my cholesterol is now normal; I have gone from a dress size 20 to 12; I understand more about food, therefore the way that I eat has changed for life; I exercise more regularly; and I make it a point to meditate or relax.  Knowing you completely changed my life for the better.

Dear Josephine:

Thank you so very much for scheduling me for weekend appointments, especially at such short notice.  As stated at the time of my appointment, there is no Colonic Therapist in Des Moines Iowa.. not that I can locate.  Both my husband and I have been following your dietary advice; and since receiving the three colonics I have been experiencing some improvement.  I wish I could see you more frequently but it is approximately 6.5 hours by car from Des Moines to St. Louis.  I have another appointment with my internist at the end of October and will schedule another weekend session with you.
