    I felt a complete sense of trust and safety after my visit to you.Complete sense of trustJill, Rustington
    I am so pleased I was introduced to Andrea Hughes as my Doctor prescribed Statins and I had bad side effects in the liver. Since seeing Andrea and taking the Herbs my cholesterol levels have gone down considerably with no side effects. She also added extra herbs to help relieve Arthritis in my wrist which is no longer a problem. I have just been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and again she has helped me. Thanks Andrea.No to StatinsHelen Arscott, Rustington, West Sussex
    I don’t know whether you remember me, but I came to you about 18 months ago because I had had recurrent miscarriages. After a course of treatment you gave me, I conceived at the beginning of the year, and have just had a beautiful little boy. I am so grateful to you for all your help, and especially for linking together a lot of my medical issues. My irritable bowel has also been much better since your treatment. Thanks again for all you did, I will definatly recommend you to friends and fa…Sensitive & kindMary, Worthing, West Sussex
    Everything seems to make sense and tie in perfectly.  You know I have only felt the anxious feelings a couple of days since starting the herbs and that was just before my period a week ago – and really mild This is the best month I have had for at least 6months – so something must be working! I am so grateful for all your help. The anxiety/moods really were taking over my life – affecting my relationship with my partner and the kids!Everything seems to make sense and tie in perfectlyTracy, Kent
    Andrea: my mum is so much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my whole family is deeply thankful to you. She has made it off to Morroco this week, and would not have made it without your wonderful herbs and care.Mums BetterDebbie, Worthing, West Sussex
    Hi Andrea, Thank you so much for a fantastic workshop! I really enjoyed it – I’m sure we all did! I’m enjoying those wonderful bottles of syrup magic – I’ve never tasted anything more delicious – tastes of the countryside, sunshine, fresh air, of the pulse of life. You gave us lots of info, and lots to think about. Collected a few rosehips today too, on the Downs. I’d love to do more workshops – even if the subject isn’t something I’d necessarily do at home, it broadens one…Fantastic workshopKriya, Worthing.
    I felt very uplifted after our appointment, and have remained so today. I am also hopeful that I may still be able to avoid surgery after all, thanks to your expert ministration of the beautiful healing herbs. I really appreciate all your support and caring attention. You are a true Light-Worker.UpliftedLR, Worthing
