Jenny in Teignmouth
A lady came to see me in a great deal of distress. Some serious problems at home and some unsuitable food choices left her feeling very unwell.  I made some suggestions about her diet but I could tell she was reluctant to change. 
This is what she wrote to me 10 months later;-

" I came to see you about ten months ago, in great distress because of eating problems. You were very kind to me and understood that my upset was part of the whole situation. You suggested a hair test which was very revealing and a Paleo diet of which I was very dismissive, I'm afraid. (Sorry).

By sheer coincidence, I met a kinesiologist and he agreed to work with me. Everything he told me backed up everything that you had said and he has even used the hair test results. He tried to persuade me to do the Carnivore diet, but I couldn't handle it. That was when I remembered your Paleo diet. I have been on it for two weeks now and I have less bloating and less wind. What a result! 

Firstly I'd like to apologise for not taking your good advice last year. I might be well by now, had I done that. You were so kind, and an expert in your field. And secondly, I just wanted to thank you for being right all along!


I hope you are still practising, and making many people well."

Fiona in Tiverton -  my sick child.
"Having suffered ill health for a number of years, and seen many Dr’s and specialists, in desperation I took my eight year old daughter to see Marilyn.
After one consultation Marilyn diagnosed  gut dysbiosis with candida albicans. We  followed Marilyn’s suggestions of a strict anti candida diet, together with various supplements. Within a matter of weeks it was like having a different child..the symptoms started to ease and an overall feeling of wellness finally came back! It was truly amazing.
Not only has Marilyn correctly diagnosed where others have failed, but she has been an immense support to both my daughter and myself. Her professional knowledge combined with her caring and nurturing nature has been amazing, and invaluable to us. We are eternally grateful to Marilyn, and would highly recommend her to anyone!"


Sue in Torquay - weight loss

"I have battled with my weight for years. Up down, up down. I lose weight then put it straight back on.  Exercise helps, but I hate the gym and walking just didn't have the same effect.  Not any more !
Since I have been working with Marilyn she has worked out my unique nutritional profile and shown me where I was going wrong. No more diets ! Just a straight forward eating plan that works !
I have lost 3 stone 4lbs in 6 months and there is no sign of it going back on. I can actually look forward to eating without worrying about weight. Food really used to be my No 1 enemy. Now it's not.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Marilyn"

Jenny in Torrington - her Mum's cancer
"My Mum first had breast cancer 10 years ago. She had the usual chemo etc and thought she was all clear. Then, 4 years ago she was told it was back and even worse, it was now in her lung as well. We were both very frightened as Mum is in her 70s.  In desperation we asked Marilyn to help with supporting her immune system and getting her energy back.
Her Rainbow Support programme is amazing. It has given Mum the courage to fight this thing. Marilyn has become a friend. Her help and support has kept Mum going. Her advice about diet has helped Mum through her chemo and the Oncologist says she is making great progress.
We both can't thank you enough ! "

CHILDREN'S HEALTH Jenna in north Devon

My 2 boys both had health challenges. The eldest had severe ADHD and was frequently being excluded from school. My youngest was just a sickly child. Since following Marilyn's nutritional advice both children have made remarkable improvement.  No more school problems and an improvement in concentration and behaviour. The little one doesn't get coughs and colds any more. He sleeps throught the night without coughing !
I thought I was feeding them a good diet, but sadly cows milk and too much sugar and some processed food was having a bad effect. I am amazed how different they are ! I didn't believe it could work by just changing their diet and giving them a natural supplement. They actually like the food I am cooking instead of buying supermarket stuff.

The other thing that has made a huge difference is the Juice Plus gummies. The boys love them and I believe Juice Plus is providing them with important things that they weren't getting from their diet. I think Juice Plus is absolutely amazing. My asthma is much better too !
Another great thing that has happened - I can stay at work and not keep running up to school !!
Amazing. Thank you so much. 

Bi polar - Penny in Tiverton
I have had Bi polar for most of my adult life. It is terrifying. Since Marilyn has been working with me I feel much more positive and have not had a relapse for 2 years. Changing my diet and taking some natural supplements and Juice Plus has made a huge difference to my life. Marilyn has also helped me understand how my food choices were affecting my moods.
I used to think I would be medicated for life. Now I HAVE HOPE.

25 year cough - GONE  ! My GP is amazed too!-  Doreen in Tiverton
I have had a nagging cough for the last 25 years. One consultation with Marilyn identified a food intolerance. I had heard about the connection with unsuitable foods but didn't really believe it ! I am now over the moon and my husband is delighted too. I used to keep him awake coughing !
Thank you so much.

John age 63. Wellington.Somerset.- getting off long term antibiotics
“ after taking Marilyn’s advice and starting on a programme of supplementation I was able to wean my body off the course of antibiotics that I had been having on and off for a year.  I take immunovite, prostate support and juiceplus everyday and my psa levels have fallen from 4+ to less than 2 in 18 months, I have been free from antibiotics and medication to shrink the prostate for over 9 months.
I am enjoying better health than I have done for several years and I no longer fear the return of repeated bladder infection caused by an enlarged prostate.
Thanks to the powerful antioxidants in the supplements recommended by Marilyn.”

Sue in Barnstaple and Juice Plus

I just want to say a big thank you to Marilyn for putting me on to Juice Plus. I am a sporting Granny and thought I was eating the right stuff and put my flagging energy down to approaching old age . Wrong ! Juice Plus has boosted my energy 100%. 
I didn't think it was possible to feel so good. My hair and skin look better too and I didn't get one cold last winter  Utterly amazing. !

Shirley in South Molton and Candida Albicans

I have suffered years of misery and countless courses of antibiotics which had no effect at all. I can't tell you how candida has affected my life for the worse. Marilyn is the first person who has identified my problem as a yeast infection - candida albicans. Her knowledge and experinece with this beastly complaint is second to none. Why don't doctors understand candida like she does ? I never thought I WOULD EVER FEEL WELL AGAIN ! Thank you so much

SPORTS NUTRITION
I have been working with Marilyn for 2 months. For the first time I can actually see my exercise work out at the Gym is paying off since I have used her sports nutrition programme.  She has not only given me great advice about which supplements are healthy and which expensive ones are best avoided but also which exercises to do too ! great value.  I am delighted. Thanks a million Declan.

Weight Loss - Barnstaple

I have been using Marilyn's FROM FAT TO THIN weight loss plan and have lost nearly 2 stone.  I am also diabetic and have managed to reduce the insulin I need which I never thought was possible.  I never thought I could quit snacking on biscuits and crisps, If you want to lose your carbohydrate addiction - try From Fat To Thin. IT WORKS !!!!! 

WEIGHT LOSS - TIVERTON
I have been on every diet under the sun. I lose weight and then it all piles back on again. I get depressed and then I eat. Marilyn's on line and telephone support has been amazing . She has kept me on track, picked me up when I fall off the wagon and I now know how to stop re-gaining weight after a diet, I didn't think it was possible. thank you big time ! the new SLIM Sharon !

GREAT ADVICE - Torrington
I have just received a diagnosis of a nasty degenerative disease. I was very frightened and felt very alone as my GP didn't have much to offer me and hadn't any advice at all about diet. Marilyn spent about 2 .5 hours going through my case and giving me brilliant advice on diet and life style choices which will help to kick start my immune system. She has also put me in touch with a naturopathic Doctor who has given me confidence. I was depressed but now I have hope.

Food Combining- Laura  in Dorset
I came to see Marilyn because I was having terrible tummy trouble with bouts of either diarreahea or constipation and dreadful indigestion. She really helped me with advice about combining different food groups in special ways. It has really helped me and I feel so much better !

Thyroid - Gemma in Birmingham
Well worth the trip down. I wish someone had told me years ago I could manage my poor thyroid function with a few changes to my diet and natural supplements. I feel so much better, have more energy and I have lost 10 lbs which I never believed was possible !! Couldn't be happier ! thank you.

Stress - Martin in Bournemouth
I didn't believe my diet was actually making me feel jittery. I thought it was just my work and life style. It was a bit strange at first as I had to change my "dashboard dining " habits, but now I know how to get through the day without sugar and caffeine,I feel great. Juice Plus Complete helps too as I never had time for breakfast which meant I tucked in to cakes about 10 am. Love the taste too. More energy, better sleep and steady weight loss - fantastic !!! I feel a new man. Great on line support too - thanks.

weight loss and IBS - Sally in Dunster
I have lost 18 pounds - I can't believe it. I have followed your advice and for the first time in my life I have lost weight and my gas and bloating have completely gone. What you told me about grains and dairy made such good sense, I can't understand why everyone doesn't do it too. My husband's even agreed to try the same meals - amazing. A big big thank you !

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS - David in Bridgewater
I have just been diagnosed and was pretty depressed at my prognosis. Since meeting Marilyn I feel there is some hope of stabilizing my condition and reducing flareups. She has lifted my spirits and I am really happy she is working with me. It's a lonely place fighting this on my own - thank you.

Success after just one visit.
Dear Marilyn, 
Thank you very much for your help and advice earlier this year. My visit to you was most valuable and has lead me on a journey of self discovery and I feel very much better.

PSORIASIS
Thank you so much for showing me how my stressful life and inadequate diet was causing my flare ups. I didn't really understand how stressed I was until coming to talk to you. Since following your advice for 4 months now, I am delighted to say my skin has healed and I feel brilliant ! The diet change was easier than I thought.

ANOREXIA

Thank you so much for giving up so much time and for listening so carefully to my sorry tale. You are the first person who really gets me. I actually left you wanting to go home and change my life. Not because my children and husband want me to, but because I want to .Thank you, thank you, thank you.
ULCERATIVE COLITIS  Penny in Dorset.
Thank you so much. I have seen countless Doctors and Consultants who have just put me on drug after drug and now want to operate. I am so happy because the explanation you gave me about the influence my diet is having on my condition  makes sense ! I am already feeling better and have had hardly any flare ups since following your advice. Why don't Doctors know about this ? My mother has Crohns and I shall be sending her to see you very soon as I am sure you could help her as well.
UNDER ACTIVE THYROID
I have been going back to my GP regularly for several years now because my energy and wellbeing have been on the decline. This I understand is due to my poor thyroid function. The GP just increases my dose of thyroxine but this has not helped. My friend recommended I talk to Marilyn as she had helped her with a long standing condition. Marilyn explained that it doesn't make any difference how much thyroid medication you take, if the body hasn't got the ability to absorb the medication and use it. She told me about the special nutrients that were missing from my diet and gave me a supplement to supply these while I tried to alter m
y diet. Bingo ! I felt better after about 2 weeks. I am so grateful. thanks very much - Jill from Bournemouth.
osteo arthritis- Donald in Brighton
I have changed my diet ( following Marilyn's suggestions) to one which is more alkaline. My GP told me my condition was not serious enough to warrant a new knee, despite a lot of pain. I can't take the pain killers as they have too many side effects. In particular they affected my eye sight which is another cause for concern. I had to find another way of relieving the pain. I didn't realize that the "normal" food I was eating was actually highly inflammatory and contributing to my pain. Anyway - long story cut short - I can now walk further and sleep through most of the night without excrutiating pain. I have cut out quite a few foods like potatoes, bread, coffee and biscuits which I love which was hard but it has paid off. Why don't doctors know about food ?? So grateful for your help.
