Angela January 2012

" I was diagnosed with stage 1V Lung cancer in July 2011 I was told it was inoperable and terminal. I underwent 5 rounds of chemo which made me really ill. My body was telling me no more so I declined the last one, I felt as though I had lost control of my life.

After hearing about Dr. Kate James and reading her website I contacted her. She suggested I go and see her for 2 day one to one programme where we discussed diet, supplements, EFT, juicers, detoxification baths etc.

What I liked about Dr Kate was she gave me a direction. I was given a list of supplements, juices, and have taken them daily. I can honestly say I feel great, all my family and friends comment on how well I look. Dr Kate suggested I get a second conventional opinion . I have now been given other options regarding treatments/trials for the future which can run along side the holistic approach, so I am embracing my new regime and taking back control of my life.

I would recommend Dr Kate James to all who want to consider other options she is very caring and understanding. "

Martin Dodgson October 2009

Dr Kate says: I have been working with Martin and Jackie to support them through Martin's diagnosis with a Grade 4 Glioma in October 2009.

"I was diagnosed with a grade 4 Glioma in October 09 and had surgery to remove the tumour at the end of October 09. I started Radio and Chemotherapy in December 09 for 6 weeks, I then had a further 6 months of chemo and am currently just about to start the second month of the 6 month course. I have been receiving dietary and holistic advice from Dr Kate James and have been following a programme of diet and E.F.T. since December 09 and have found it to be extremely beneficial to my physical and mental well being. I would recommend Dr James to anyone who has Cancer and is uncertain of the future. I have sailed through the first course of chemo with no problems at all thanks to Dr James. In December 2010 I had a CT scan which was all clear. It showed no evidence whatsoever of my tumour. "

Martin Dodgson 48yrs.

"Since Marty has been undergoing Dr Kate's programme I have noticed a remarkable improvement in his mood and health. He has had a far more positive approach to life and has regained his wicked sense of humour. He has had no problems following his last course of Chemotherapy. Thank you so much Dr Kate!"

Emma Roberts April 2010

"I have met Dr James and heard her speak about her work with Holistic Care for Cancer and know that anyone who has the opportunity to work with her will not only benefit from her enormous wealth of knowledge but also from the compassion and gentleness with which she shares it. Both patients and staff alike will gain so much from her presence and skills."

Consultant Physician March 2010

Consultant Physician whom I supported through advanced pancreatic cancer.

"On 29/10/2009 I was diagnosed as having an inoperable cancer of the pancreas which was also not amenable to radiotherapy or a histological diagnosis by needle biopsy. This diagnosis came as a profound shock to me, conversant as I was with the prognosis and the absence of any definitive chemotherapy regime accepted worldwide. Through mutual friends I came to hear about the excellent holistic, EFT and research work undertaken by Dr. Kate James. The response by these patients were both very positive, therapeutic and successful. I had a 2 day intensive consultation with Dr. Kate James in Northumberland.

It was wonderfully effective, therapeutic and motivating. I look on those 2 days with her and my subsequent regular contacts with her with great hope, enthusiasm and conviction of the efficacy of her holistic approach. I am positive that patients can be thoroughly rewarded by being supported by her wherever cancer patients need her expertise and input on their illness."

Louise November 2011

I have been working with Louise to support her through locally advanced breast cancer

" I was diagnosed with a grade 3 tumour in June 2011 which was inflammatory breast cancer. I was Given Kate's details via my mum and began a tailored treatment plan during the summer and also spent a day with Kate at her lovely home. Since starting the juicing, supplements, wheatgrass and foods I have never felt stronger. During four months of chemo I did not have a single infection. I underwent a mastectomy (including lymph node removal) in October 2011 and have made a speedy recovery as predicted by Kate! On diagnosis my tumour measured 9x8cm and I had between 4-9 lymph nodes involved.

Post surgery they found only 2mm of fragmented cancerous cells remained and no cancer could be found in my lymph nodes. I believe that whilst the conventional treatment is important, the holistic treatment is equally beneficial as can be seen by my results! Hr teaching of EFT has also enabled me to cope emotionally. Kate is compassionate and thorough in approach and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone. "

John Harrison October 2011

"I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in May 2011 and spent 6 weeks in hospital following 2 major operations.  On my discharge from hospital, I contacted Kate, who had been recommended to us by a friend. I was immediately drawn to her as a person, and as a doctor, based on her attitudes and ideas. From the first consultation I began a course of supplements (Algae, Beta Glucan, Vitamin D, Royal Jelly and Wheatgrass). When I started chemotherapy in September my immune system was so improved that I had no obvious reactions of sickness etc to the Chemo tablets I was taking. The NHS hospital is so impressed with my progress; they have said that “whatever i am doing, keep doing it”. I have no reservations about recommending Kate, and the various treatments she suggests, to anyone in my situation."

John Harrison

"I am relieved that Kate knows her stuff and is able to use food supplements to help John’s body to absorb the chemo in a positive way. People comment on how well he looks
considering he is going through chemo. Kate has also helped me, through EFT to come to
terms with John receiving Chemotherapy, because I was not comfortable with him taking it. "

(Kath Harrison, John's wife)

Ann June 2010

I have been working with this lady and her husband to support her through advanced breast cancer.

"We have been working with Dr Kate James for 8 months and in that time we have found her to be a truly remarkable woman who dedicates her time to helping those suffering from serious illness. My wife was diagnosed with osteoblastic metastasis [secondary cancer to the bones which it was said was terminal] in October 2009,all they offered by way of treatment was radiotherapy which wasn't successful,we contacted Kate in may 2010 and went to visit her at her home where she introduced us to the green foods which are taken to help boost you immune system.In June 2010 my wife had several scans in order to check on the progression of the disease,unfortunately it had spread to another 4 areas in the bones and they had found 3 tumours in my liver,the oncologist put my wife on herceptin and navelbine [chemotherapy],she started this treatment in July 2010 and whilst undergoing this treatment she took green food supplements as advised by Kate,she had another set of scans done in October 2010 and these showed that there had been no further progression of the disease,a further ct scan was carried out in January and this showed a slight shrinkage of the tumours in her liver,I am convinced that the green foods have played a major part in the treatment of my wife,and we are now a bit more hopeful about the future."

Jim July 2011

I have been working with Jim to support him through advanced prostate cancer

“When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer four years ago, I accepted it with equanimity. After all, I was 76, and although conventional medicine made it plain that there was no cure, given that it had spread to virtually every bone in my body, they offered me some years of fairly normal life. It was something of a shock two years later to be told I also had mild to moderate heart failure. To one who had always loved country walks the virtual impossibility of walking uphill for any distance was a blow. I had to give up the “Healthy walks” organized by the local authority in the village - finding flat walks on the edge of a National Park is not easy! I found I was lacking energy and the motivation to overcome it, while still appearing all right. Discovering Dr. Kate’s web site and her attitude to care has made a huge difference. Her treatment has not only made me feel more energetic, I want to do jobs around the house and garden that I wouldn’t have tackled before and I can even walk better up hill !”

Jim Townsend July 2011

Carol June 2010

Dr Kate James says: I have been working with Carol to support her through locally advanced bowel cancer. Despite no further conventional treatment since her cancer was noted to be locally advanced she has gone into a complete remission, i.e. there is no evidence of her cancer existing on PET scan since starting the programme.

“Looking back, it was through a golden web of contacts that I eventually arrived on Kate’s “doorstep” seeking help. I was struggling to recover from 5 weeks of radiotherapy/chemotherapy for advanced bowel cancer, plus a two week re-admission to hospital to deal with infected radiotherapy burns and inability to hold down any painkillers or food. Yes, you could say I was in bits but I “knew” that there must be some way out of this and was determined to find it.

When I first spoke to Kate I realised immediately that she understood exactly where I was coming from, not only as a medical doctor but as a mother who had to find a way to help her own child to recover from cancer. I needed someone in whom I could have total confidence; someone I could completely trust. Kate’s a good listener and I quickly relaxed and felt comfortable discussing all aspects of my illness with her.

I eagerly embarked on Kate’s programme and quickly adapted to my new diet, receiving guidance from Kate at all times. Kate’s holistic approach meant that we touched on many aspects relating to my general well being, including my need to explore the volcano of emotional stuff that had built up since losing my husband to cancer in the middle of my own treatment. Kate is an EFT practitioner and this really helped me to open up and let go of so much that had been weighing me down. Kate also referred me to a colleague where I underwent a week’s detox programme, which awakened my body, mind and spirit in unimaginable ways.

Before beginning Kate’s programme I had enlarged lymph nodes; abnormal tissue and was later recommended to undergo a permanent colostomy. I have been working with Kate since May 2010 and have never felt better; my energy levels are high; I am positive and again have a wonderful mass of curly hair. My last PET scan was clear; as was my latest MRI scan/blood marker despite no further conventional treatment. I truly believe that contacting Kate was one of the best decisions I have ever made. All I can say is be bold; believe in yourself and your ability to help your body to recover. “

Roxana Stoian October 2011

I have been working with Roxana to support her through advanced ovarian cancer

" When I first met Dr. Kate James seven months ago I was astonished by her naturalness and kindness .I instantly have felt her deep implication and passion in this vast domain of health care. It is a great responsibility to deal with a life life- threatening disease such is cancer and Dr James is my choice. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer in April 2010. About 7 months after I finished 6 sessions of chemotherapy the cancer came back! I was shocked! I didn't expect that! The chemotherapy was supposed to cure me....! And then I met Dr.James... My life, my thoughts and of course my diet has dramatically changed. I felt sick at that time so I have discussed with Dr. James my situation and I have decided to start a new course of chemotherapy ( to attack very quickly the cancer cells because the disease was more aggressive this time) combined with a natural and healthy diet, rich chlorophyll foods, green juices and EFT to support my emotional roller coaster All this to beat once for all this terrible disease. After few months with this regime I can tell that there is a difference, big one between me now and the person I was before meet Kate. Dr. James had an enormous patience with me regarding how to manage all this special diet (especially the wheatgrass and algae which brings huge benefits to the health but at the beginning their taste was a little bit challenging for me).

Now, I feel really really good, I have a lot of energy and I feel full of life like I was before the illness and of course, my medical tests looks very good. I will continue with all this healthy regime as being part of my life because I feel that this is the normal and the natural way to recover my precious health. I am truly grateful to Dr. James who still teaches me all this wonderful things and I thank her for kindness, compassion, patience and her vast medical knowledge...all these in just one person."

Thank you Dr. James!

With lots of love Roxana

Sherryl Robinson October 2011

It was a week before Christmas when I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer with a 9cm mass in my left ovary. On the same day as that diagnosis I was given the name Kate James by a friend who had cancer some years ago who had visited Kate and felt benefit from her holistic therapy and supplements. My daughter looked at Kates’ website and sent her an email asking for her help, neither she nor I really understanding at all what she would want me to do. I was really surprised when Kate telephoned me the next day saying she was going to email a green juice recipe which I should start taking each day as soon as possible. She also said she would email lots of information about how my diet and state of mind could almost certainly affect my condition during my chemotherapy, hysterectomy and recovery after these treatments. I felt devastated by the situation at the time and couldn’t imagine that anything would help me and I felt my future looked bleak. During my telephone conversation with Kate, she said she would like me to travel to her home in Northumberland where we could discuss food supplements, diet, EFT – which I had never heard of and Visualisation. A date was set for my daughter to drive me there and Kate gave me a telephone number for a couple with a small bed and breakfast guest house which we booked by email. I had my first chemotherapy treatment 10 days before visiting Kate so wasn’t feeling great during the 400 mile journey. I was feeling very down and as though my situation was hopeless. However, after meeting Kate and having a very long session of EFT, I felt lifted and much more positive about my future. The visualisation session was equally beneficial to my general state. I have followed her programme regarding nutrition since our first meeting and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I feel I owe my life to her for the support she has given me and my daughter during an extremely difficult period of our lives.

I have just found out my tumour marker count is only 4!

Lynn Stuart November 2011

I have metastatic bowel cancer which has spread to my lungs and liver and is inoperable. I had bowel surgery and palliative chemotherapy over 4 years ago. My oncologist thinks it is very unlikely I will live through this, my fifth year since the terminal diagnosis. Just over a year ago I started to feel really ill, nausea, sickness etc. I had been following recommendations from a nutritionist for the previous 3 years but I felt then that I was no longer being helped and it would be downhill from there. Then I met Dr Kate 6 months ago and since then I have taken her advice and feel amazingly well. I have a cough but the nausea and sickness have gone and I have more energy to do what I want to do with my family and friends. I feel as if I’ve put the clock back a year at least! I accept that the cancer is there and that I will die of it at some time but I can live very well at the level I am at now and, with the advice and support from Dr Kate, be as well as I can be. Long may this last! I am so grateful our paths have crossed and I have this extra quality time with my family.

Harriet Karsh January 2011

I have been working with Harriet to support her through advanced ovarian cancer

"As a person with active stage three ovarian cancer, which has been recurring periodically since 1976, I have nearly exhausted all the traditional medical options available to me. Most people would describe me as emotionally resilient and personally dynamic but after 35 years of fighting cancer off and a medically traumatic last 11 years I felt myself becoming a victim of my disease and was determined not to let cancer take me over. In May of 2010 I started on Avastin, my last tested allopathic hope, and I knew I had to dig deep and make some radical changes if I wanted to get on top of the situation again. Miraculously I was brought together with Kate and working with her and following her recommended food, juicing, supplements, and EFT programme has been both challenging and rewarding. Since using Kate's programme and Avastin together my cancer has been stable and I have more energy than I have had in years. While my tumor size may be attributed to the drugs, Avastin cannot account for my sense of well being and vitality. I feel stronger physically and emotionally and clearer about who I am and the resources I can deploy to continue to live with my disease successfully and hopefully to eradicate it once and for all. I've shed some unwanted excess pounds too through healthier food choices and portion sizes. The psychological aspects of the programme have also helped me to deal with some difficult relationship issues and find the inner strength to walk with hope into the future.

Paul August 2011

"Speaking to Kate was like a breath of fresh air at a very stressful time, her knowledge and intuition for my needs and the needs of my body as I was trying to deal with my oesophageal tumour, was exactly what I needed, to help and guide me through a very difficult time. "

Paul, 60, Managing Director.

Pam Harvey January 2011

I have been working with Pam to support her through locally advanced ovarian cancer.

"Since consulting Kate about 6 months ago I feel my health has become more robust and I’m much more confident that I have the strength to fight my illness.

It is now 7 years since diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer and since that time I have had 4-5 courses of chemotherapy. When I was told I would need to have further chemotherapy last summer I knew that my body was not in a “good state” to cope with the stresses it was about to be put under and was extremely worried about what the future held for me. Luckily my reflexologist gave me Kate’s name and website and shortly after I began chemotherapy treatment I made the long journey from my home in South West Hertfordshire to spend 2 days with Kate and thus began rehabilitation of my immune system and the feeling of wellness I now have.

At first I made slow progress as following the chemotherapy sessions I was quite poorly and it was difficult to follow Kate’s plan, however I persevered and soon realised that I was becoming stronger and recovering from the after effects more quickly, the only thing I was doing differently was following Kate’s “green” plan. With the chemotherapy treatment over the plan is being followed avidly; I feel well, am not tired and do so much more than was previously able.

Being treated in a holistic manner has certainly helped me remain positive. By following the “green” diet I have been helped to improve my immune system and boost my energy levels. EFT has enabled me to keep my spirits high and my outlook positive. I have also gained a true friend in Kate.

I doubt that all (or any) of this could have been achieved without Kate’s intervention and I feel truly blessed to have been guided to her knowledge, enthusiasm, love and caring. Kate is always ready to answer questions and listen to any worries. Thank you Kate; you are a very special person, dedicated to helping others achieve optimum health and well being."

Pam Harvey January 2012

"Working with Kate over the past 18 months has been enormously beneficial, her advice and recommendations blend seamlessly with any conventional treatment I may be undergoing. Kate is always extremely thoughtful, good at listening/understanding concerns expressed. Consulting Kate has improved my self-esteem and belief/deep felt need to be treated holistically rather than for just the “condition”. Following Kate’s advice my general health and well-being has improved and I am forever being told by both medical practioners and others of “how well I look” which I hope and believe reflects what is happening inside! I can’t recommend her highly enough."

Secondary Cancer 2010

I have been working with this lady to support her through secondary cancer.

"In March 2010 I had an operation to remove a mass. Six weeks later I was told that they had removed cancerous cells in and around the ureter. I was devastated. Worse was to come when they informed me that this was secondary cancer and I had primary cancer else where. My world fell apart and I just couldn't believe it was happening to me. Just the word cancer had me quaking in my shoes. Hope came on the horizon in the form of Kate James Holistic Doctor who has, since, encouraged, supported and educated me in the use of natural remedies. The negative feelings gradually faded away to be replaced by a longing to live a full and happy life. To date all the scans are clear to which I thank Kate most sincerely. It has been hard, at times, but hope always wins through and, although the oncologist thinks its possible that there could be rogue cells, I believe with Kates' treatment and support I will be fine. When I falter Kate is there to help me return to more positive thoughts. "Thank you Kate - I'll show the oncologist the cancer isn't coming back!" Because I feel so much better physically and mentally I can't recommend Kate's treatment enough "

Tony Songhurst February 2012

I have been working with Tony to support him through advanced metastatic bowel cancer.

"I was diagnosed and confirmed as having advanced bowel cancer and following surgery in January 2010 I commenced radiotherapy and chemotherapy in April 2010. Whilst the radiotherapy continued for the full 28 sessions, unfortunately I developed a bad reaction to the chemotherapy after only 4 days of a 6 month term so that had to be cancelled.

I have been consulting Dr Kate continuously since early 2010.

In October 2010 I was found to have secondary cancers in my liver, pelvis and para aortic lymph node area. My wife Frances, herself an EFT practitioner recommended Dr Kate James…

My diet had never been particularly great and I felt with the current traditional treatment there was something missing - quite often cancer takes all control of your well-being away from you and you rely solely in the medical profession. I felt there had to be a way of me taking some of that control and responsibility back. After working with Dr Kate for several weeks over the phone I spent a wonderful 2 days on a focused retreat as a way of refining my Integrative treatment plan. At the end of the 2 days I came away refreshed and focused for the journey ahead.

Now here's the thing.... I had a deep rooted fear that Integrative therapy would divert me off of the path my traditional NHS care team were going to place me on. On the contrary, the Integrative Therapy path fully complimented the traditional NHS path so the two worked in harmony. I found Dr Kate enlightening in her approach whereby she urged me to share her Integrative plan with my NHS care team. This is where it works perfectly and the term Integrative really does what is says on the tin...It integrates with your current therapy and adapts to changes in the said plan. I feel it has supported my immune system and worked to cleanse my blood and internal organs thus preparing/ supporting me through potentially gruelling chemotherapy and assisting my well-being in its own right.

I started an aggressive course of treatment in October 2010 and after 13 cycles of Chemotherapy (Irinotecan) and Biotherapy (Avastin) I took a rest from Conventional therapies for 3 months between October 2011 and January 2012.

The Integrative treatments continued whilst my body rested and now in January 2012 I have recommenced the chemo and biotherapy - I clearly saw the Integrative treatments, which include supplements, beautiful natural juices, enemas and EFT, as preparation for what was to come. I also see the Integrative treatment as a key element to my continued well-being.

The cancer in my body continues to be held at bay since they were discovered in October 2010 and thankfully have not increased in size or spread further - I continue to feel strong and am both mentally and physically prepared for whatever lies ahead

Dr Kate's approach has filled in the missing facet to my treatment plan - I no longer feel a victim to cancer and feel in control of what is so often likened to an uncontrollable roller-coaster!

“Thanks Dr Kate, Tony"

John Parr 2010

I have been working with John to support him through cancer of the tongue.

"I have been very happy with all the nutritional advice & information I have received over a period of several months during & following chemotherapy & radiotherapy for cancer of the tongue. I am pleased to say I am now in remission. The products & foods recommended, especially wheatgrass were mostly unknown to me despite my previous researching the disease & recommended associated nutrition. With Love, John Parr"

Anna 2010

I have been working with Annamarie to support her through thyroid cancer.

"I have known Dr Kate and worked with her for about 6 months now and have found her approach to be very refreshing. I have chosen to work on healing my papillary thyroid cancer (diagnosed Dec 09) as naturally as possible without conventional intervention, although I do still have checks from time to time with my specialist. I wanted to strengthen my body and needed someone to help guide me through how to do this and to help me with an ongoing plan. Dr Kate has been that person - she is so passionate about what she does and is level headed at the same time and has been a great support to me. She has helped me tremendously and the dark moments that are sometimes inevitable are no longer such an issue. My condition is currently stable and of course our next steps are to eliminate the cancer completely which is something I am sure I can do with Kate's ongoing help."

Bridget Hallstead April 2010

I have been working with Bridget to support her through early stage breast cancer.

My Healing Journey with Kate – 5th April, 2010

I was diagnosed with early stages Breast cancer at the beginning of October 2009 just as my youngest child was leaving home to start university. At the same time my only daughter telephoned from the USA to tell me she was coming home to the UK as her marriage was over. The roller coaster of emotions I felt were almost indescribable but deep down I knew that somehow I needed to gather my strength and stamina ready for what lay ahead both with coming to terms with the huge shock of the cancer and supporting my daughter through what was an incredibly shocking and traumatic time for her particularly as she was so many thousands of miles away. I’d also felt bereft at my son going away to university and knew there was bound to be a lot of adjustment for him too.

My breast care team in Lancaster were fantastic and I had total faith in my surgeon who carried out my first surgery at the beginning of November followed by further surgery approximately 4 weeks later. Following recovery I had an appointment to see the Oncologist early in January to discuss radiotherapy which I was very nervous about and if I’m honest was reluctant to have. Miraculously and by pure fluke two weeks before I was due to begin treatment in mid February, an email dropped into my ‘inbox’ with an attachment to the website of Dr Kate James, an Integrative Medical Practitioner living in the north-east of England some 150 miles from where I live. I began to read her website and her own story and was so touched and excited I couldn’t wait for my husband to come home from work to read it too. Within 10-15 minutes of looking at it he was convinced as I was that I needed to move heaven and earth to try and see her before my radiotherapy treatment began.

I emailed Kate and in no time at all she responded with the warmest reply. I felt as though an enormous weight had lifted and that someone was there in whom I knew I could trust and would do whatever she could to support me through my treatment which I was so terrified of. I’d always cared for myself and my body, eaten a healthy diet and was so frightened of being on this conveyor belt surrounded by a wonderful team of medics who were doing their job, but just wanted to be ‘heard’ and my precious body supported through this next part of the journey. I so desperately wanted to give myself and my body the best possible chance of coming through this with as few side effects as possible.

To cut a very long story short, I travelled to the north-east to see Kate and spent two very special days with this amazing woman. I couldn’t have wished for a kinder, more nurturing, selfless, intelligent and passionate person to spend that time with. It must be rare indeed to find someone in whom you can put your trust at such a time but know that what she is doing for you is with the sole intention that at the end of your time together she wishes nothing more than to give you everything you need to support you on your healing journey. So much tension was released with her teaching of the incredibly powerful EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), which can be practised anywhere at any time and is so ‘freeing’. She also put together a diet plan and had gathered together all the food stuffs, supplements, vitamins etc I would need during and following my radiotherapy treatment. We talked about and practised together deep breathing techniques to aid relaxation and the importance of ‘green juice’ to aid with cleansing the body.

To conclude I came home and within a few days began both my treatment and and my amazing diet plan. Once I settled into both and within no more than a couple of days I can’t tell you how amazing I felt. There were occasional bouts of tiredness but at every opportunity I went for gentle walks in the fresh air, rested when I knew my body needed it, slept well and stayed positive and focused. I’m now 4 weeks post-radiotherapy and saw my surgeon and his registrar a couple of weeks ago and they couldn’t believe how well I looked and that I’d coped so incredibly well with my treatment.

I’m not ill but want to give this amazing body of mine chance to heal and recover on so many levels but know that without the support, nurturing,encouragement and intelligence of the wonderful and very special Dr ‘Kate’ I wouldn’t be in the strong and very positive state that I am today. I want to shout from the rooftops and tell everyone about her. Anyone, who at any stage of their life is diagnosed with such a serious disease or any other for that matter, deserves so much to have total access to what this amazing woman has to offer. She is so very special and unique and I for one want to thank her from the bottom of my heart. Her rare gift needs to be shared with those less fortunate than I.

With love and thanks, Bridget Hallstead

Advanced Breast Cancer 2011

I have been working with this lady to support her through secondary breast cancer.

"For some time now, I have been looking for someone to help me with Cancer. I found Dr. Kate James and realised that she was able to offer both the medical and the holistic way of tackling what is possible. A personalised programme is arranged for each individual, emotionally and nutritionally, with supplements suggested. I learned how to breathe correctly for the first time in my life! Also she showed me EFT where various parts of the body are tapped and this helps with mental clarity, emotions and pain. This will be very useful for me in the future. I returned home feeling extremely positive and with a huge sense of calm."

Marion Scullion 2010

I have been supporting Marion after she came to me with a diagnosis of breast cancer.

"Dear Kate, A big thank you for the two wonderful days I spent with you last week. I was especially impressed by your intuitive approach and the knowledge that you had gleaned about me through surrogate EFT before even meeting me!

When I arrived I was still very much deliberating and worrying about the orthodox treatment, but through our sessions of EFT I was given approaches from within which I can use while leading up to the treatment, going through it and afterwards. I also did not realise I had so many emotional issues which, through EFT I was able to feel again and release from my system. I was amazed how, just through a few seconds of tapping, these emotions welled up and through your expertise I was enabled to carry on tapping and release them. The wonderful thing about EFT is that I can continue to use it on my own for any issues or emotions that arise and for my well being and continued health. I especially enjoyed the abdominal breathing accompanied by the visualisation of my body being bathed in oxygen and health giving chlorophyll (from the juices in my diet) to assist in my healing.

By the time I left you after my second day, I was full of confidence for the future, relaxed, happy and feeling full of well being. This has continued since I came home. I look forward to our telephone appointment next week, and would like to thank you once again for all your support and for enabling me to be guided through all the issues about which I was concerned."

Marion Scullion, Yorkshire

Cynthia February 2010

I worked with Cynthia after she came to me after a diagnosis of advanced metastatic ovarian cancer.

"I have found practising EFT with Kate of tremendous value; the technique, and especially doing this with Kate either in person or over the phone, has given me focus and a way of thinking positively which I found difficult before. It is a method which has provided calm at moments of panic. In a sense, EFT has been a really important piece of the jigsaw, in that, alongside a changed diet and so on, I believe it has helped to alleviate pain and aided in the healing process. EFT has also meant that members of the family can sit and do this with me, giving them a sense of purpose and reinforcing EFT’s value for me."

Crohn's Disease 2010

"I have Crohn’s Disease: I was diagnosed with it aged 16 and in the subsequent 27 years I have struggled with it, having 3 operations to remove parts of my intestine, and many periods in hospital.

In the winter of 2009 I decided to see if my condition could be helped by getting EFT as I had heard about it helping others with serious health conditions. I have been receiving EFT every fortnight or so since then and in that time have seen enormous improvements in my health. I have had no need to use any drugs for months. Although I was feeling so much better I had the feeling that I was not really reaching “good” health – what was good for me would probably still not be very good for “normal” healthy people.

I came to see Dr Kate James at the beginning of March and was amazed and impressed at her ability to home in on the issues and areas that were still causing me problems and holding me back. She managed to unearth deep emotional issues about my family life that I hadn’t realised were causing me a lot of stress – and had done all my life. I have always found stress very detrimental to my immune system and hence my health condition. We spent some time doing EFT on these and discussing them over a couple of days and I left feeling like a new woman. Although my problems were not instantly resolved, the way I felt about them was different and this seemed to make me feel very much calmer and happier on a day to day level.

Along with this, Kate offered my some advice on diet and nutritional supplements, which I have followed. A month after seeing Dr James, I can honestly say that my energy levels are the highest they have been for years – from lying around on my bed a lot of the time I have changed to being able to do much more with my 3 children and am even re-decorating the sitting room! Along with this I feel happier and more empowered – altogether a great result!

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome 2010

"Ever since being first diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome years ago, I have battled with some of the unwanted effects that often occur - unwanted hair, skin problems, irregular periods and mood swings brought about by hormonal imbalance. Once our family was complete, my hormones felt as if they were in an eternal spiral without any release. Despite there being several conventional options to try, I didn't want to just disguise the effects, I wanted to balance my body long term , not just cover over the effects until I wasn't allowed to take any more medication.

I was directed to Kate by my reflexologist and found her echoing my sentiments exactly. She set me on a gently guided diet that was easy and logical to follow and added some specialised nutritional components to run alongside the EFT. Although it's only been a short time since this commenced, I can already feel the benefits of what I can only describe as feeling more at peace with myself - mentally and physically. This is a great start and I hope that I can continue to avoid any conventional treatments which act only on the symptom and less so the whole person.

Type Two Diabetes 2010

"I would highly recommend the combined approach to treating diabetes with specialist nutrition and energy therapies such as EFT as advised by Dr Kate James.

I was diagnosed with a high blood sugar level indicating early Type 2 diabetes about 2 ½ years ago though I didn’t have any symptoms. I decided to control it with diet and was apparently doing ok with that until work stresses lead me into a period of poor nutrition, eating convenience foods at odd hours and the diabetes nurse advised that she would like to put me on Metformin. That was about 2 months ago and my Hba1c was 8.8. I resisted the medication and was given 3 more months to try to bring it down with diet.

This time I took it seriously and had 3 weeks strictly keeping to the diet recommended by the nurse; cut out all chocolate, crisps, cheese and alcohol, cut right down on carbs and increased my green veg content added oily fish 3 times per week etc. I already didn’t eat meat or drink tea or coffee. The average of my readings from my own Aviva monitor over the last of those 3 weeks was 8.89 so I deduced more radical measures were required.

I found the “Raw for 30 days” website and started myself on a strict raw food diet including huge quantities of leafy green vegetables. It was effectively a massive detox, during the second week of which the acidic taste in my mouth was vile and the loss of hot food was beginning to get me down. However, my blood sugar was moving in the right direction with an average of 7.92.

Then I had my first consultation with Dr. Kate James who recognised the beginnings of emotional effects from the all-raw diet and advised me that I would need to take better care of my spleen for long-term sustainability. She put me on a nutritional plan with a structured routine, which had been lacking in my diet for many years. I started taking various algae supplements, fish oil, ground up golden linseed and coconut milk as well as the leafy green veg in the form of delicious green smoothies. I was delighted to be able to re-introduce some hot food including fish and the lovely soup recipe Kate gave me.

One week after starting the supplements my average blood sugar reading was 7.23. After four months my Hba1c ( average blood sugar) had dropped to 6.5. I arranged for my blood sugar to be monitored and do not need to start any medication as previously suggested.

I have been suggesting EFT to others for several years now and used it on myself for a variety of other issues but had never got to grips with using it on my own diabetes. As part of my treatment I had a Meta Medicine diagnosis and began having regular EFT and Matrix re-imprinting sessions with a local practitioner near my home.

I firmly believe that the combination of improved nutrition, attention to the principles of Chinese medicine and EFT tapping have been instrumental in bringing down my blood sugar levels and increasing my general health.

As a bonus in addition to the blood sugar issues, I feel much better in myself, my mind feels clearer and oddly my ability to balance on one leg has improved! All this despite an increase in work stress over the same period."

Lis, improving general health November 2011

When I attended Part 1 on the 1st and 2nd October I had been particularly low with shingles which was comcomitant with severe back pain from torn ligaments (attributed to the gym). This necessitated large amounts of analgesia to ease both conditions for several weeks (medicine which I am not used to). Y

ou suggested, when I asked you for nutritional support, that I try Blue-Green Algae, Superfood and Royal Jelly in a certain format. This I have been doing for two months now, and I can honestly say that I have significantly improved in every way . . . more energy, increased appetite, increased mental acuity, etc., etc., etc.

Thank you Kate!

With love,

Lis

Chris December 2011

I have been a patient of Dr James' for only a month. Despite this, I feel a real warmth and genuine friendliness when talking to her and I can sense a passionate, creative desire to help those, such as me, who seek her help to improve their health and, thereby, their lives.

The supplements she prescribed plus the dietary advice and recipes she has provided have literally changed the way I feel —
I enjoy enormously increased energy, vitality, clearer thinking and a plain old desire to experience life to the full. Her devotion, skill, knowledge and her zeal to help and, hopefully, to eradicate that which expresses itself as 'dis-ease' are quite wonderful to be a part of. Being a recipient of her care and healing is quite awe-inspiring and moving.

Supporting patients with EFT....

"Of all the therapies that we offer, Emotional Freedom Techniques is, in my opinion, one of the most powerful and immediate tools for change. In a matter of minutes, extreme physical pain or emotional trauma can be reduced to manageable levels, and even disappear entirely. It is a technique that takes a short time to learn and can be applied to every seemingly insurmountable area of pain with extraordinary results. Most importantly, it is one of the few therapies that enable people to continue with their healing at home, day by day."

Mary Llewellyn December 2009

I worked with Mary to support her through breast cancer. She is a Psychotherapist, Hypnotherapist and EFT Master.

"My name is Mary Llewellyn I have been a full time psychotherapist for over 30 years now. In December 2009 I first went to Dr Kate James because I wanted help after receiving surgery for breast cancer. I have learnt many techniques throughout my career and they were useful for me although I knew I needed additional emotional support. When I read about Kate's experience I knew she was the practitioner I needed support from at this challenging time of my life.

Kate is a very intuitive person and I found that the work that she did with me regarding my fears surrounding chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment made a tremendous difference. She enabled me to achieve a better state of mind and body using a techniques called EFT which could be called acupuncture without using needles. Ten years ago I personally received training from the developer of this technique in the US and have used it since then with great results with my clients. However, I know that we are often too close to our own problems and with Kate I found I was in a safe pair of hand together with this very powerful tool which was a winning combination. When used skillfully it neutralises a stuck negative perspective and promotes a more positive state of being. "

John Bullough February 2010

"I worked by telephone with Dr James on a major personal issue in mid February 2010. Even though we had not yet met at that time, she somehow accurately intuited that I was holding a debilitating sense of loss and sadness in my life. We spent about three hours working together, during which she used her own personal blend of EFT to help me to release negativity around the issue (the loss of my mother as a baby). After working with Kate, for the first time in my life I was able to see my loss as an illusion, and that the positive energy and love of my mother was still with me, had always been with me. This is not an intellectual understanding, it is a deep heartfelt knowing, accompanied by a profound sense of peace which has been with me ever since. The positive energy and love of my mother is still very much with me (January 2011), almost one year after that original work with Kate.
I do not say this lightly. I have spent much of my working life in industry (latterly as a senior executive), and this sense of loss had always been there, even at times influencing my judgement whenever I felt in any way insecure. I believe it is Kate’s love and compassion combined with her great skill as a practitioner that has facilitated the change in me, and as a physician she has helped me to sustain it with continuing nutritional and lifestyle advice and follow-up support. Her work is holistic in nature and truly in a class all of its own. I believe that Kate is in a unique position to participate in the introduction of this important new healing modality into mainstream medicine. "

Hospital Teaching Consultant 2010

"I’m usually fairly good at reflection and at noticing the mood around me. But recently, when I found myself in a difficult personal situation, none of these listening and thinking skills was of any use. What I needed was a practical way of staying calm and just getting through whatever the day had in store for me.

Of course I know in my head that different parts of the brain do different things. But the practical reality of getting myself away from a ‘fight and flight’ reaction to a more sensible response needed a practical ‘doing’ sort of answer. That’s where I found the EFT so useful, as something to do that helped me, rather than wringing my hands and sweating a lot! It’s so easy just to spend a few minutes getting calm again, and it’s really helped me to take control again and know I can tackle what is being thrown at me."

Jaqui Crooks 2010

"Working with Kate was amazing. She was gentle and intuitive and really listened to what was going on for me. Her use of EFT was amazing. She guided me through some very difficult emotions and I achieved a great deal of understanding of what was going on for me and released the emotions. I felt stronger, more positive and back in control of my life. I’ve been able to move forward confidently, making clear choices that work for me. I can’t recommend her highly enough."
