HE IS HEALTHY AGAIN
Dear Dr. Karen (a.k.a Nice Lady!)~
How do I even begin to thank you for helping my 2 year old son, Andy get his health & life back? When I came to see you, I was at a loss as to what to do for my son. Ever since he was born he had countless ear infections and he was never healthy--always on anti-biotics for sinus infections and having constant skin issues--rashes, adverse reactions to food (burning his tender skin). He would then have reactions to those antibiotics and a new illness would crop up, resulting in more medication from his pediatrician. And as new parents, we are trained/told to see the pediatrician for everything. We were in a vicious cycle that was just spinning out of control. His illnesses had started affecting everyone around us, as we could never go to family functions for fear of getting anyone else ill--he has 3 young cousins. Everything was taking a toll on his little body and our spirits. He would never want to play, jump around, or behave like a "normal" baby/toddler. And it wasn't until recently when we came to you searching for some sort of help as we felt modern medicine had failed us and this was our last chance at giving our son a happy & healthy life. You were so very kind to take the time to really LISTEN to what concerned me & what Andy has gone through in his short little life. You detailed out an herbal regime and some diet changes, and I can't even begin to describe the difference you have made. He's happy again, playing, bouncing off the walls, and even showing the true signs of a daring 2 year old!! It's a far cry from where we were before. Now I just have to worry about where he's going to jump from next -- rather than what's bothering him!! He's even adjusting to the organic foods -- slowly, but surely!! He even tells me "Remember when Andy see's nice lady?" He remembers you and asks about you. I can't believe the difference--it's night and day. We are so very glad you are a part of our lives and can't say enough about your work. You truly are one of Andy's "Earth Angels". Thank you doesn't seem to be enough, but THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.

FINDING THE TRUTH TO HEALTH
Dearest Karen, How does one thank someone that has given you your life back!? When I came to you, I had a cholesterol level of 301, extreme stomach problems, and incidents of having to urinate immediately. I was fatigued and taking a lot of medication that wasn't working. I remember saying to you, with tears in my eyes, "I think my body is dying!" You have done so much for me Karen. My cholesterol is now 217 and going down, my stomach is not giving me problems, and I don't feel like "I gotta go...gotta go," anymore. The fatigue is so much better and I feel wonderful! What is nice is this was all done with herbs and I no longer take medication that causes the many side effects. I feel so comfortable knowing your knowledge & wisdom is getting me through this and that I'm not just grabbing herbs somewhere off a shelf with a guess. You put me on a program designed to do this for me. My husband, who is a skeptic, was the one who suggested that our daughter, a college student, come see you. She was very fatigued and having problems testing in school. I want you to know that now - after seeing you, her spirits are back up and so are her grades. She was so impressed and learned that there are alternatives in medicine and in life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! - Judith Cook, LaPorte, IN
WEIGHT LOSS WAS A “SIDE EFFECT” OF HEALTHY EATING
Krissy BEFORE Krissy AFTER
After years of dealing with doctors and never feeling "satisfied" with their prognosis, I made a decision to take matters into my own hands. I had heard about Dr. Karen McGill from trusted friends and colleagues, but what I heard sounded far too good to be true. While at my job one day, I had the opportunity to meet Karen. we talked briefly about what she does in her profession. It was that day when I decided to "Get Healthy!" I had quit many things in my life before, but this time I knew that it would be different. The next day, I scheduled my IRIDOLOGY session with Karen - since then, there has been no looking back! With Karen's knowledge and direction, and encouragement from my family and friends, not only have I found relief from my chronic sinus infection (with the help of ear coning also) but I have eliminated 2 prescription meds and replaced them with new healthy alternatives and habits. Best of all, I have lost over 35 lbs. Not with unhealthy dieting, but healthy living! Karen told me not to look at my weight loss as my primary concern, but as a wonderful side effect of healthy eating. Not focusing on my weight loss has been the key! I have simply become more educated and changed my former "bad" habits into the new "Healthy" ones. The weight began to fall off. I have learned more from Karen in the past 8 months than in a whole lifetime of listening to medical specialists, and the neatest thing about it all -- is that it makes total sense! I feel like a whole new person, inside and out. People tell me I actually Glow! Karen and Amanda are a great team! They gave me my life back. I wouldn't have come this far without them.

“Non surgery”…Healing
I am Karen’s sister. I have always trusted whatever my sister tells me to do for my health and any other problems, but… her course of action for this problem seemed a bit far fetched. I was sure she had lost it.
I have had a cyst or tumor on my leg for about 3 years. I knew most certainly that I wasn’t going to go the Medical Doctor, I could only imagine what all they would have done to me. The tests, biopsies, medication, radiation?? My choice was non invasive. This thing did not hurt, but was a soft bump that was getting larger and was very unsightly. I figured it would always be there and just continue to get bigger. During my iridology appointment, Karen had noticed some tissue toxicity in this area. I showed her the ugly bump. She of course suggested I have it looked at.
After discussing that it was my choice not to see an MD, we decided it was time to do something to make it “be gone.” She mixed some mustard & essential oil and some other things and had me use a castor oil pack with heat to “bring it to a head ” she said. I thought… “Yeah right, after 3 years of this thing growing, we are going to bring this smooth bump to a head with this herbal concoction and it will drain!!??” She also had me work it internally through foods and herbs to help neutralize and absorb the toxins. I thought, “it sure can’t hurt, so I will give it a try to humor her.” It seemed like too much trouble to do the compresses, but every time Karen asked me if I was using the heat and compress, I couldn’t lie, so I had to do it for her. I just KNEW it was a waste of my time and this was crazy. Every night I would do this, wrapping saran paper around the compress and placing the heat over all. I did this for one hour every night. Three nights later, I could see a large head forming! A couple more nights and it began to ooze the poisons out. At this point, she gave me other topical herbal formulas and oils to make sure no infection set in. I was completely shocked after three years, to have my leg back to normal and this thing to be completely healed! I will never ever doubt my sisters work. I am blessed that she is in my life.

ENDED PRESCRIPTION DRUG ROLLER COASTER
For all of my adult life, I used prescription allergy/sinus drugs. At one point, my ENT Doctor was suggesting an operation on my ears to relieve constant sinus problems. A friend suggested an "ear coning." At first I was skeptical, but decided to try it. That was three years ago and I havent taken a sinus prescription drug since! With regular ear coning (I also do reflexology along with it now), I've gone from chronic sinus/allergy problems to complete relief.

TAKING CONTROL BACK OF MY LIFE
I want to thank you Karen and I hold you totally responsible for the way I feel just one year after my iridology appointment. As you remember, I came to see you with aches and pains, in fact I was terrified I had fibermiolgy (?) and I had many symptoms of menopause. I was always reluctant to go on HRT. But did for awhile. I went off again because of the dangers. You suggested your wonderful Female Tonic along with Immune Enhancement. I must interject right here that I never had any bouts with flu the entire year as I have always been sick in the past. You also suggested reflexology and massage with Dennis which I have also continued thru the year. You helped me with my diet and had me start water aerobics and changed my program 3 times but kept me on the female tonic and enhancement. I kept massage appointments with Dennis, took my herbs faithfully and in just 3 months my cholesterol went from 235 to 200, my HDL 48 to 63 (the good cholesterol), triglycerides from 200 to 103 and LDL from 147 to 119 and no more hot flashes! Wow, do I feel blessed with all those reports today on HRT that I didn't continue and found you and Female Tonic. My friends can’t believe that I am off of hormones and have no problems that I once did. Like you said, when you are ready, the teacher will appear. The dr. was in awe....."what in the world have you been doing to change your blood work so drastically" I'm just so excited how I feel today at age 61. I want you to know that I am now teaching water aerobics, yes, teaching it, no hot flashes, I have lost 35 pounds, and no aches and pains. It's so wonderful when I hear other people complaining about their aches and pains, night sweats and the aging process, when they turn to me I can say " I feel terrific and people who don't know me are surprised to learn my age. Thanks again Karen for giving my life back to me. Kris Bell, Michigan City, IN
REFLEXOLOGY GAVE ME RELIEF
After suffering numbness and tingling in my feet for over a year, I went to the Dr. to see what was going on. I could barely feel I had any feet. This Dr. sent me to a Neurologist to further investigate. I was diagnosed with neuropathy (although I am not diabetic) My neurologist said that there is nothing they can do and it would gradually get a lot worse. It did. I went to see another neurologist to see if there was anything they could do. I was only offered pain pills. Period. I read an interview that was done on Dr. Karen about reflexology. It sounded like it was for me. I scheduled an appointment right away. From the very first appointment, I could feel my feet! Feeling that I haven’t had in years. I called my family and told them of what I had found. They couldn't believe it. I schedule regular appointments now and am very delighted that I can feel I have feet, and there is no pain. Medical Doctors told me there was nothing that could be done.
