...She is feeling much, much better, her heart had calm down and her goiter is almost flat......

Hello Svetla,

after reading your manual and started to use the vitamines and reiki I am feeling so much better!!!

I had a goiter that is almost flat, my heart has calm down a lot. It been 5 months since then I am going to wait to have 6 months to have a check up to see if my T4 went down.

I am sure it is better, I will keep you informed.

But now I want to give thanks for all your help, it is nice to have support from someone who does understand.

I feel such relief and great joy as I skim through your books. I really am crying. I know you know what I mean when I say that I have felt all alone and misunderstood for years.

Your site, and now the books, have lifted my spirits and will to new heights. Thank you."
