Read what a few of Jane Coleman’s clients have to say …

Chip, age 54 (male)

I am a 54 year old male, the oldest of 4 whose mother died of cancer at 64 and whose father died of Alzheimer’s at age 75.

During the ’90’s I would have an annual physical.  It was discovered that I had an arrhythmic heart beat, high triglycerides (385), high cholesterol, and borderline hyper-tension.  In 1999, shortly after my mother died of cancer, I knew something had to change in my life or I may suffer the same consequences.  I began my quest for health by reading.  Dr. Robert Barefoot indicated that a cancer cure had existed for some time.  If you had a diet rich in calcium and minerals and could get your PH to 7.4 it would be virtually impossible for cancer cells to survive in the body.  Reading Kevin Trudeau inspired me to take charge of my own health.  I also saw a documentary by Dr. Lorraine Day called “Cancer Doesn’t Scare Me Anymore”.  She documented her cure and late stage cancer without surgery or drugs.  She stated that basically 3 main things affect health:  1:  get proper nutrition; 2: stay hydrated - drink plenty of purified water; and 3: eliminate stress.  After my final annual physical in 2001, I was prescribed first a Beta-Blockr then an Alpha-Blocker to reduce by blood pressure.  The doctor told me that they were not sure what caused this condition and that a large part of the population had the symptoms.

About the same time my dentist recommended I see a peridontist to address receding and bleeding gums.  He immediately suggested invasive surgery.  I was totally against this and declined the surgery.  I was aware of a dental specialist who advertised in our local co-op newsletter that if surgery was suggeted he may be able to offer an alternative solution.  He performed his own exam and said that the solution to my gum health was to remove all metal from my teeth.  We tried one lower quadrant first.  Three months later the gum health did improve, stopped bleeding and eliminated any need for surgery.  I have since completely removed the rest of the metal.  One of the reasons to remove the amalgam is that over time the mercury breaks down.  The natural process of chewing and biting allow mercury to vapor out gas. This poison is then absorbed by the gums and inhaled through the nasal system. There are a host of potential health problems associated with mercury poisoning.

I decided to try the Atkins deit, lost the weight I needed to reduce my blood pressure and made a decision to stop all drugs.  In 2005 I decided to take a chance to do a 17 week cleanse by Dr. McCombs called “Life Force” one of several cleases that Trudeau recommended in the book Natural Cures:  What “They” Don’t Want You to Know About.  This cleanse required a lifestyle change and was designed to remove toxins from the body.  The driving force behind this was to get my health to a state that would minimize my risk of vitually any disease, including those of my parents.  I decided I had nothing to loose.  I had a physical prior to the cleanse and my readings were as follows:  arrhythmic heart beat ( heart actually misses a beat), body weight 213, triglycerides 289, total cholesterol 262, HDL 57, LDL 148, and blood pressure 152.  After 17 weeks on the program my results speak for themselves.  Arrhythmic heart beat gone, body weight 175, triglycerides 92, total cholesterol 176, HDL 63, LDL 95, and blood pressure 110/70.

Over the next 2 years I tried several other cleanses and the Life Force plan again.  In 2007 I wanted to find a medical doctor focused on natural health and found one in the Twin Cities. I reviewed everything with him tht I have discussed above, and more.  After hearing this he told me that what he heard me say was that “I wanted to decrease my rate of morbidity”.  He instructed me to read and follow The Paleo Diet, by Loren Cordain that focuses on a diet which predates the agricultural revolution which began the industrialization of our food production.  We focused on my health by using supplements and maintaining the Paleo Diet.  There were improvements from 2007 to 2008 but my digestive system was not in optimal condition and my weight bouned back up to 198.  I was successful working with this doctor to increase elasticity of both the large and small arteries.

In addition I have been seeing a chiropractor once a month.  By keeping the spine aligned you help insure good communiction with the brain and the rest of the body.  I also meditate and practice deep breathing as part of my daily routine.

Then my wife was introduced to Jane Coleman through a co-worker.  After reading the information that Jane shared with her, I was intrigued.  It opened my mind in a new way to the importance of the digestive system and its function to overall health quality.  I met with Jane and she performed functional assessments, and then reviewed my health history.  The results indicated sluggish digestion and elimination.  Jane and I agreed on a whole system detox plan, including basic liver/gall bladder and kidney flushes.  All took place over a 16 day period.The results were very positive according to how I felt and the follow-up evaluation.  I am in good health but have had a challence with emimination for many years.  Jane and I continue to work on this and I recently completed The Moritz Liver Cleanse.  I suggest you meet with Jane, obtain an assessment, and collaborage on a common sense program to greatly imporve the quality of your life!

~ Cindy, age 54

I came to see Jane Coleman after having visited numerous doctors, a nutritionist and a chiropractor, for a medley of issues; regrettably, none of which were relieved for me by those individuals.

I experienced exhaustion, inability to sleep through the night … I woke frequently with hot flashees and in some kind of distress. I had no energy, fitness, or strength. I had gained a tremendous amount of weight over a five year period, about 70 pounds and yet I was unable to successfully manage a weight loss plan for any length of time. My menstrual cycle stopped for eight months prior to my visit with Jane and I imagined that I was in menopause. My body ached and my joints hurt continusously … I imagined it was arthritis or my weight gain … to be honest, I thought I was slowly dying …. at 53!

After my initial assessment with Jane I began the 10 day cleanse (and select supplements) and was amazed that I slept through the night the third night of the program!!! I immediately began to feel better … more energy and clearer thinking. My general feelings of malaise lifted and I felt like myself again. Three weeks after I started I embraced a menstrual cycle (without any PMS symptoms!) and have cycled every 28 days since…talk about a new life! I have lost 50 pounds to date and have not felt this energetic and healthy in years. Amazingly, I have little difficulty staying on the healthy eating plan whereas previously, I could not stay on a “diet” for more than a day or two.

I feel wonderful now and “in control” of my health and well-being. I continue to regain my fitness, strength and energy. I hav no colds or flu symptoms that I previously endured with some frequency. My thought are positive and clear and I have abounding optimism about life and my future.

Jane, you have given an amazing gift to me and my family. Thanks always for sharing your knowledge and goodness!

~Mary, age 66

“I started the 90-days to better health program when my arthritis was at its peak for pain. I had tried the medical route, using Ibuprofen, Vioxx, and Celebrex. Seemed like I didn’t improve. My massage therapist, Jane Dunn, recommended that I see Jane Coleman because massage was not enough. My thumbs were turning in and my joints were swollen. I went to see Jane Coleman because I felt that I had nothing to loose.

I started with a consultation and assessment. After evaluating me, Jane recommended an internal cleanse, green drink, and minerals. By the end of the cleanse I noticed that my thumbs were no longer swollen and started to straighten out and I could flatten my hands. My husband also noticed the change. I walked better and had more energy. along with this I needed to change my diet and eat nothing white (bleached flour, sugar, milk & salt). This was a huge change for me. Red meats were another thing eliminated from my diet. My diet includes, fresh greens, fruits, whole grain, brown rice products, rice milk, chicken, turkey, and fish.

It has been over three years since I started this way of life and I still follow the plan. It is a way of life. Whenever I cheat, my hands let me know, in that the joints swell and get sore. I don’t want the pain and discomfort. I lost close to 30 pounds by eating healthy and watching labels and using mostly organic. The energy that I have is great and I see this as my way of a quality life.

Thanks for a new healthy way of life.”

I was referred to Jane to learn how to do a liver cleanse. I ended up changing my diet permanently and am eternally grateful! I eat many more vegetables than I used to and I am aware of eating foods in their natural state; red potatoes, brown rice … instead of white bread (a former staple in my diet).

I feel so much better and notice that I get sick less often. I have been very happy with my renewed state of health!

“I had been seeing physicians for years for various issues: irritable bowel, fatigue, insomnia, etc. The doctors put me on several medications for the symptoms, then several more to counteract the side effects of the medications thay had put me on. They never even tried to determine the cause of my symptoms.

My experience with the Medical Center was a very painful colonoscopy to determine why I had bowel pain. After being proclaimed “normal” they sent me away with no answers and a very large bill for the pleasure.

I started seeing Jane Coleman in January of this year (2008). I handed her a list of the ten medications I was on, which she did not look at until after she evaluated me. Just a simple look at my eyes painted the picture of my issues and what needed to be done to combat them. She immediately changed my diet and began the process of cleansing my body of years of toxins. My bowel pain and diarrhea went away within a few days. I was sleeping through the night within the week.

I didn’t get my medical issues overnight, and it will be a while before I am completely healthy again, but I feel improved all the time.

I am now down to four medications, and will hopefully choose to be off them soon as well.”

“After the birth of my son five years ago, my body went through some very discouraging changes. During my pregnancy my arthritis randomly flared up affecting ligaments throughout my body. When my son was one year old, I began getting cortisone shots ( knuckles,wrists, knees) which would work on the pain short term. I finally met with a rheumatologist (my knees were the size of grapefruits and I was hopinig for surgery to releive the pain). He did an MRI, and told me no more walking, volleyball, etc. There were days when I could hardly walk or bend my fingers. Since I am a cosmotologits/massage therapist, my doctor even suggested a new career. Then around three years ago I began to have petit mal seizures and the medication I was given for that put me in a real daze. I was unable to concentrate, it affected my speaking skills, sense of taste and smell and made me very tired. That is when I came to see Jane Coleman! I had to do something different … I was a wife, mother of a toddler, owner of a business and I had all I could do to make it through the day. Plus I had stomach issues and was on medication for a low thyroid - I was a mess and wanted to get off as much medication as I possibly could!

During my first visit to Jane she introduced me to Reiki, which I now practice often. I started the 90 day to improved health program … wow was that a challenge to give up coffee, bread, etc. I literally choked down the veggies the first couple of days and started to feel awful, flu like symptoms (the toxic stuff leaving my body). That passed and it was amazing how good I felt! I had so much energy (I was able to stay up past 8pm again!). My arthritis improved, I could get out of bed in the morning and walk without standing there and stretching first. My stomach issues were gone. I drink lemon tea with cayenne pepper every morning and it doesn’t bother me at all. After almost three years it’s amazing how in tuned I have become with my body, I can tell if I have one pop the affects it has on my joints. Every cleanse I do it gets easier to avoid the trigger foods for me and I actually crave healthy food over junk food!

It has been almost three years since I have changed my lifestyle! I do a cleanse every spring and fall, I am exercising again (staying within my limits) I rarely take my arthritis medicine (only when I physically overdo it), I have cut down on my seziure medication hopefully this winter I will be at half the dose they started me on, and my stomach issues flare up only when I am naughty and stray from ,my healthy food choices! I follow Jane’s program the best I can even though I do cheat once in awhile, but I do feel best with a diet of no dairy, wheat, gluten, sugar or salt. It is a challenge but if I can do it anyone can, it is a life change but well worth it! I am very grateful to Jane for giving me the education, support and courage to take control of my health so I can live a normal life again.”

” I chose to see Jane Coleman to help me with menopause issues, mainly the hot flashes! Little by little my body was going through many things I thought (and was told by MD’s) to be a part of the “normal aging process”. There were times my girlfriends and I would ask each other, “Do you ever feel really GOOD anymore? ” “No” was our collective response .

After consulting with Jane, I realized that I had a few health issues that I could improve in addition to my hot flashes (digestive problems, gas, weight gain, bad breath, foggy head, leaky bladder and a history of skin problems (”roseacea”). In spite of the fact that I thought I was eating healthy and I exercised regularly, I really didn’t feel all that well.It was amazing what Jane was able to tell me through her Iridology assessment. By following her lead, I tried many natural techniques and supplements, special diets and cleanses. I am still amazed at how my health turned around for the better, and how much energy I gained. No longer do I suffer from the array of issues that brought me in the door. One of the main things I learned is that we are individual (mind+ body+spirit), what works for one person may not work for another, and I learned to be willing to try and to have patience. Some of the most amazing healing things happened after a period of time, not just a day, or a week or a month - some things changed after a year. My eye color changed and my hair turned from straight to curly.

Jane is very knowledgeable and very gentle in her approach. She looked at my total health and gave me the education and support that I needed to work toward gaining my health back. And to our surprise, we continue to work together. In this toxic world, it is a continuous challenge to stay well. I had alot of work to do.and still have some. But everyday, I get closer to my optimum health!! Thanks Jane!”
