"It all started again the week before Christmas 2001, the stress of training 2 new staff and the approach of Christmas didn't help. I had been free from a bad Candida infestation (thrush) for 11 years but the last time, just before completing my university degree had left a lasting impression.

Straight away I went to the chemist and bought Canesten and I started on the road to 10 weeks of hell! At the end of this time, I can report that I had seen my doctor twice and a gynecologist plus the top draw of my bedside table was full to the brim with empty packets of creams, applicators and tablet bottles.

By the 10th week, I was at my wits end. I was screaming inside. My husband wondered who he was married to I'm sure. I was tearful and frustrated and so...so....itchy!

It all came to a head when I was standing on the platform at Wynyard station, waiting to catch my train home. I thought how easy it would be to just step in front of a train and end it all!

What a horrible thought - I had never ever thought like this before and I hope to never again.

I was determined right then to try something different. I looked up Naturopaths and Linda's advertisement stood out. I picked up the phone and made an appointment - it couldn't hurt, after all I had tried all the conventional methods.

You could say Linda saved my life!

It was hard at first - I had to go through another 2 weeks of hell while the Candida fought to stay alive as Linda controlled it.

Linda was like a breath of fresh air after the unsympathetic male doctors. The first thing that horrified her was that neither doctor nor gynecologist had told me which specific foods to avoid for my condition. With Linda's support and knowledge I got through and I can now say that I am cured.

Linda Parker is a wonderful Naturopath Herbalist and I do not hesitate in recommending her to you".
