Linda,

I had been suffering with a painful lower back problem for several weeks. I had strained it lifting boxes. At some point I came across the Ventura Center card and thought that maybe a colonic would help.

What and understatement!

I made an appointment and during the colonic you told me I was releasing massive amounts of toxins and that I might feel better afterward - another understatement. I had walked in very tentatively because any misstep would cause pain spasms in the lower back. Well, I walked out from the treatment normally and haven't had a problem since.

Linda, thanks so much for your work and healing hands. I believe everyone could benefit from them.

All the best,

MN

Hi Linda,

I wanted to write you for a while but I have been super busy. After Passover I got bloated again for about 48-72 hours (by the way the reason is eggs). I looked for a place to do a colonic session and went to a clinic not to far from where I live.

It was disgusting!!!!

I had to insert a little pipe while sitting on a weird chair/bed while the water came in constantly and the dirty water (toxic..) are coming out at the same time. It felt like a little wash there and not more.

The session is by the hour so it doesn't matter if the water comes out are clean or not, when your time is up it's up and you need to get dressed and leave. For me, it felt very unprofessional and made me feel like they did not care if I felt better after the colonic.

It's $70.00 for 1 hour and before your time is up they fill you up with acidophilus. I'm not an expert but it doesn't make me feel good knowing that I am not top clean inside before having the acidophilus in.

The afterward feeling was very far from the feeling that you gave me and I hope to visit California soon because I really want to have a colonic session with you.

I am a changed woman after experiencing colonics at Ventura Center for Healing! Sincerely. Linda and her professional staff are not only phenomenal in their gentle approach to administering a colonic, but they are also educated and willing to share their knowledge on maintaining a healthy lifestyle that further benefits the results of a colonic. For example, I have been an avid gum-chewer for years. It was after my first AMAZING colonic that Linda educated me on the gas-inducing and bloating effects of chewing gum. I stopped chewing for a few days and then experimented with a piece. Within minutes, I could feel the bloating feeling begin, and I haven't chewed a piece of gum in four months! This is just one of the many benefiting tips I was given by Linda. Receiving colonics every four to six weeks has enhanced my already healthy lifestyle. I eat well and exercise regularly, but have noticed a special light, internal feeling and sunny glow to my skin after a colonic.

I feel so blessed to have found Linda and her center.

From LS, female, 35 years old - June 13, 2008

I have done colonics 6 times now and I can honestly say that I feel like a new person. So much more energy and I sleep better at night. I don't need to eat as much and I feel hydrated all over. Doing a series of 5 and then once a month thereafter for maintenance is ideal for me. I just wanted to share my positive experience. Plus when you take the Aloe 225 it makes the colonics more effective too. Thank you so much Linda. You are the best!

My experience with the infrared body wrap was amazing. Right away I could see the difference in inches. My body looked sleeker and more lean. My skin was extremely soft and I felt lighter. I didn't see the scale change so much but my clothes all fit better and I had an overall sense of well-being. I recommend this to anyone who has an event they want to feel and look skinny for. I recommend going at least 3 days before event so skin that might be red goes away. I just love it and I will keep doing the wraps. Thank you Linda!!!

The ion foot bath is awesome. I felt so rejuvenated afterwards. It was great to see the colors changing and to see what was being cleansed and detoxifying out of my feet. I recommend this treatment in conjunction with doing a colonic. The ion foot bath has given me so much energy throughout that day and the rest of the weekend. It was great. Linda...thank you for doing what you do!

Dearest Linda,

After 25 years of your commitment to OUR health..it is time to truly reward you, Linda...for healing us! THANK YOU!

I have been a very satisfied client of the Ventura Center for Healing with Linda Grossman for 8 years now. I was grateful to meet Linda at a time in my life in which I was experiencing my very 1st, very painful, bout of inflamed intestines stemming from IBS related symptoms. After 3 colonic sessions & a few maintenance one's thereafter, I felt like new again! The pain & nausea subsided, my bowels returned to normal and I had soaring energy once again! Wow….if that could have only continued forever…! I made the mistake of letting way too much time lapsed in between sessions and let me tell you what…I paid the price! OUCH! I was doubled over in pain last Saturday evening; with an ache under the left side of my rib cage…which also constricted my breathing. I was getting really nervous thinking…I wonder if I should go to the hospital? I had let myself suffer like this for 3 days thinking OK...I'm taking fiber, I'm juicing daily, I'm eating well…at this point I'm thinking this has got to pass… It never did....by the 3rd day I really did want to go to the hospital thinking that there had to be something seriously wrong. It was then, my husband said "honey, you need to call Linda, for a colonic…RIGHT AWAY!" Duh!!!! What had I been thinking?? This was not something new…I knew I had felt like this once before. Well, I picked up the phone at 7pm thinking that I would at least leave a message to try to get in first thing Sunday morning but to my surprise….Linda picked up the phone and said "how quickly can you be here?" I was there in 10 minutes! Well, within moments of my session, I immediately noticed that under my rib & my breathing felt instantly better. Linda was able to help me so significantly within 45 minutes….that I again…was so grateful! I just had my 2nd follow up session today & I am feeling 95% perfect. So now I am taking (3) Acidophilus Bifidus daily for healthy intestinal flora, Slippery Elm Root 2 capsules 3xday which coats the lining of the intestine and has an anti inflammatory effect on the stomach & intestines, Digestive Enzymes with each meal and Cat's Claw (2) capsules 3xday. Lastly, I am using a compress of Castor Oil with a warm heating pad. I now know that living with chronic intestinal discomfort will always be a part of my life…..but knowing that I have someone as dear as Linda to repair me along the way…help's to make this a very manageable situation. Thank you for all of your nutritional information, your herbal supplement knowledge and your over all dedication & care for us! Hat's off to you Linda & thank you again, for seeing me on a Saturday evening after a booked solid day. You shine with so much love & light Linda…and I deeply thank you!

Love, P Z

From TJ, female - February 5, 2008

Dear Linda Grossman ,
I have a confession to make. As you know, I am an actress in Hollywood and the demands to be thin are major. A year before I started coming to you I had gotten full body liposuction and a year later the fat came back along with a little cellulite. A friend who's on the natural health kick told me about the benefits of getting a colonic, so I found a place and got one. It was a terrible experience. The person who gave me my first colonic and what I thought might be my last, was too rough and I felt even more bloated afterwards then I did before the colonic. I told another friend of my experience and she told me to try you, Linda Grossman. You are a walking miracle, my first time with you was pleasant and I continued to come back. Within 2 1/2 weeks I had lost 10 pounds and the amazing part about the weight never came back. I feel so energized through out my days, sleep well at night and I always get compliments on how my skin glows. Your colonics and supplements are the best and the health knowledge provided is never overwhelming. When anyone wants to know my health and fitness secret, I just give them your web site and name and tell them that your colonics are what liposuction should be to rid the body of nasty toxins including fat. Your spirit is beautiful and your technique is flawless. I can't get a better deal for my well being. God bless you Linda.

Sincerely, your biggest fan & supporter
TJ

From CM, female - January 25, 2008

After having been curious about colonic therapy for many years, I finally decided to give it a try in December 2007. I researched many different facilities in the Los Angeles area and decided to make an appointment with Linda at the Ventura Center for Healing. On the day of my appointment, Linda instantly put any of my initial fears to rest. She (and her staff) are friendly and eager to answer any questions. She took me through the process step-by-step and took great pains to make me feel at ease. Modesty and comfort are both high priorities. The result of my initial series of colonics was amazing. I instantly felt lighter, had more energy, and lost any sense of bloating. I view colonic therapy as a new addition to my efforts for a healthier, happier life. I couldn't be more pleased and look forward to continuing my therapy with Linda!

From MC, female - December 16, 2007

In the last few years I have become bloated, tired, and had infrequent bowel movements. Sometimes I wouldn't go for 3 or 4 days. I have been researching colonic therapy on the net for about a year. I have have been too scared to try one. I finally made the appointment at the Ventura Center. The staff is amazing and made the whole process very comfortable. I am just about to do my third session and I feel wonderful. I am going
1-3 times a day. I have more energy and my clothes fit better. I am so much happier now!

From DG, female - December 11, 2007

Linda Grossman is extremely professional and passionate about her work. I have been a patient for 2 years, and my results are outstanding and unsurpassed. When I first came to The Ventura Center for Healing, I suffered from severe constipation, which I had all of my life. I couldn’t do much of anything except complain. My doctors told me that I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome and wasn’t getting enough fiber in my diet. They suggested Metamucil. But nothing ever worked, and the problem became so bad that I was only “going” to the bathroom once a week! I felt cramped, bloated, tired, depressed, sensitive, you name it. I lost my desire to do strenuous sports and activities and stopped working out at the gym. Convinced that I was destined to feel these ongoing, paralyzing aches and pains for the rest of my life, I was ready to give up.

Fortunately, after being treated at The Ventura Center for Healing with a series of colonics, my suffering subsided miraculously and immediately. Between the colonics every 2-3 months, and one Aloe Ferox 225 capsule before bedtime, I am feeling healthy, energetic, and youthful again. I work out at the gym, enjoy walks, hikes, snow skiing and having fun without any discomfort, thus living a normal, healthy, productive life. And I look young!

You too can be bragging about how great you feel. So, if you are still searching for a cure, explore no further. With The Ventura Center for Healing and Linda Grossman, you are with the best hands in the industry.

From S, female, 25 years old - December 8, 2007

At first I was as terrified as someone that's about to deliver without the 9 month preparation. My name is S., and for the past year I felt as bad as I ever did, I am 117 lbs but looked like I was pregnant. My skin looked like I was older than I am, I had very bad black circles under my eyes, losing too much hair every day and always cold.

My mother advised me to do a "High colonic". My initial response was, "this is the way out".

It's been 5 sessions so far and I look and feel perfect. It was nothing like I thought it will be and the releases actually felt good. The afterwards feeling was so good I can't seem to find the right words – and I searched.

My skin on my face is good enough for a magazine cover, I don't use make up anymore. I am as energetic as 25 years young should be. I am not longer bloated.

I am not losing my hair anymore, and suddenly 75 is not a cold temperature for me.

I know that I sound like an infomercial but there is nothing that I can write that will do the right justice with the service of this clinic. If I only did this a year ago this last year would have looked so much better.

I am at the top of my health now. I would like to thank Linda from the bottom of my heart. She made a skeptic Israeli girl a believer. If I had read what you are reading right now I would have come to my first session less tense (and to tell the truth you shouldn't be).

For the sake of your health, if you are reading this you should get a colonic at The Ventura Center.

Thank you Linda,

S.,

Your satisfied customer

From GD, male, 33 years old - July 11, 2007

I have been an athlete for as long as I can remember. I work out on a regular basis and my eating habits were ok but not great. I have also suffered from migraine headaches for as long as I can remember. I was told that I needed a colonic to improve my overall health (migraines in particular) about a year ago from an ex-girlfriend. Being a 6'5" straight young athletic guy gave me a negative psychosomatic connection with someone dealing with my rectum. A year passed, and not only had my migraines gotten worse but I noticed that the evacuation of my bowels were inconsistent. So instead of taking some sort of laxative or herbal remedy (which I used take all the time) I finally decided to schedule an appointment with Linda for my first colonic. I was extremely nervous because I didn't know what to expect from this experience. I've never had allowed anyone, medical professional or not, to mess around with my rectum. My girlfriend gave me all types of literature to show how this is perfectly healthy and extremely helpful. I gathered up enough courage and I went in and spoke with Linda and she made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire ordeal.

As a result, I don't have as many migraines anymore, my bowel movements are occur 3 times daily, my skin is looks better, my workouts are much more enjoyable, and I have lost a good amount of weight which was totally unintentional.

Thanks Linda, I look and feel much better. You and your colonics and directly related to my good health and great looks :)

In July, 2001, I was referred to the Ventura Center for Healing, and I have had very positive results ever since. When I came in for my first colonic, I had been suffering from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (first ulcerative colitis, and later Crohn's Disease) for 30 years. Although I had avoided surgery all those years, I had gotten to the point where I was frequently very constipated. In fact, on Christmas Day, 2000, I spent 8 hours at the emergency room because my large intestine was so backed up that they very nearly had to do emergency surgery.

My first colonic not only started to permanently relieve the constipation, but in the space of that 1-hour visit, it also eliminated 1.5 inches from my waistline and softened my abdomen, by eliminating the distension caused by all of the junk that was lodged in the folds of my colon. That night, and for weeks afterward, I also found that the reduced stress on my body allowed me to fall right off to sleep in 5 minutes, instead of tossing and turning.

I have been back to the Ventura Center for approximately one dozen colonic sessions in the past 6 years. I also do semi-annual liver/gallbladder cleanses, I take digestive enzymes and a probiotic supplement, I've eliminated sugar from my diet, and I try to keep my body's pH at the recommended "slightly alkaline" level. Together, these measures have eliminated all of my bowel problems.

Since a diseased colon leads to disease in the rest of the body, I would encourage everyone to have regular colonics, to restore and maintain good digestive health and good overall health.

For about 15 years, I have struggled with many different physical problems. I went to several doctors; most told me that my problems were related to overeating, stress and lack of exercise. I had one doctor tell me that I was just tremendously constipated, and that I needed to take laxatives for about 6 months and then come back again to see him. I was given pills for pain, concoctions for cleansing, and names of programs to attend. I tried everything, including the extreme "laxative therapy" program from the doctor. I was tested for everything under the sun. Nothing. At 40 pounds over weight, I was told I was obese and needed diet pills and a restricted diet.

I first heard about colonics from my boyfriend. He claimed that if were to go through a few hydrotherapy sessions, that most of my symptoms would disappear. I finally gave in; I found Linda at the Ventura Center for Healing through her web site. I wish I could convey to you the excitement and energy that I now have after a few treatments at the Ventura Center. I no longer have headaches, lower back pain, pain in my lower left side, the daily nausea and the constant constipation and diarrhea. No longer am I constantly dehydrated, and unable to quench my extreme thirst. My moods are so much better; I was always depressed, my sex drive was gone, I did not want to hang out with my friends, and I had no motivation to do the fun things I used to crave to do. The golf ball size lump about six inches above my belly button is gone, and so is the feeling like I have a "wad of cotton" in my throat has left. What has really surprised me is that I no longer have the constant mucus in my chest and throat and my asthma is almost non-active. After years of being unable to concentrate on simple daily tasks, I now feel more alert, energetic, and my attitude is more positive. Every day I notice little things about myself that are getting better; I had been so unhealthy for so long I did not know all the things that were wrong.

Since beginning the colonic treatments, I have more motivation to exercise and eat better. I was never an "overeater", but no longer do I have the intense cravings for fatty, salty and sweet foods. I am able to exercise because I now have the energy to keep up an exercise program. I have lost ten pounds, my tummy is no longer bloated and is flatter. With the help of the colonics, I have the motivation to get healthier!

I have had problems ever since I can remember. I would go days without a bowel movement. One time in Junior High the pain was so bad I passed out. I went to doctor after doctor and all they could say is that it was my diet. I was an athlete and watched everything that I ate, so that theory was incorrect.

I had heard about colonics before but thought that it would be painful and very unpleasant. So I lived with the pain for most of my life. I originally decided to go because my fiancé had been having major problems with bloating, constipation, etc. So I went to support him, thinking if he could do it then I can too. To my surprise it was not at all like I thought. No smell, no mess, very little discomfort (compared to what I was going thru before this was a breeze), and with great results. I now have bowel movements regularly 3 to 4 times a day, feel great, energized, no more headaches, I’ve lost about 10 pounds so far. I would recommend it to everyone and do.

Thank you Linda, Michelle and the Ventura Center for Healing for all you have done for both my fiancé and myself. We are like new people :)

After 2 Colonoscopy's and a slew of medicines from the Gastro Doctor, I was at wits end and STILL not feeling any better. I was suffering from constant nauseous and diarrhea on a daily basis. I learned from the Doctor "you just have a bout of IBS" well...that's easy for you to say Doc...I HURT! That's when my life changed. Linda Grossman....I cannot THANK YOU ENOUGH! I had a series of 3 colonics (close together) and guess what?? I felt fantastic. My nauseous stopped, my diarrhea stopped and I was able to eat green leafy vegetables again. Knowing my body as well as I do.......I see Linda every 8-10 weeks for a colonic. I have not taken any meds since my 1st colonic. What a new way of life for me.

I was having severe lower abdomen pains and was constipated. I felt like my stomach was going to burst. This went on for a month straight. I went to the doctor several times with no results. I finally could not take it anymore and my friend suggested a colonic. I called Linda and the rest is history. I am regular 2 to 3 times a day. I lost 10 lbs and feel 100% better. I recommend it to everyone. It is really an easy process. I thought it would hurt and be uncomfortable but, compared to the pain and suffering I was going through before, this was easy. The staff at the Ventura Center for Healing are knowledgeable and they really make you feel comfortable. Just do it, trust me you won't regret it. Thanks again.

About four years ago I had a sigmoidoscopy. The doctor's report stated that I had several small polyps. No polyps were removed at that time.

I have been having colonics about every six weeks since the sigmoidoscopy exam. When I had a colonoscopy about a month ago the report read "excellent colon, no polyps".

I did 5 colonics close together and now I do one colonic per month. I am 43 years old and the reason I started the colonic sessions (was because) I had problems with being regular on a daily basis. Having the colonics once a month has made a difference in my life. I am regular 2 to 3 times a day and my husband tells me all the time how beautiful my skin looks. My eyesight is much clearer and no more painful headaches. I am much more conscious about what I put in my body and my weight has come down tremendously. I recommend the colonics to everyone that want to make a difference in their lives.

I would like to thank the staff at Ventura Center for Healing for making their services available to the public.

I'm so glad I found you! My IBS pain is gone and I keep it under control with a colonic every 6 weeks. It's been more than 5 years since I learned about colonics and I believe in them so much because they've not only helped my IBS condition, they've also helped my overall health. I used to suffer from frequent colds, sore throats, and acne ... and because of these colonics, I stay healthy all over! It's amazing, but I truly believe it's because of the healing powers of a "clean colon!"

Thanks, Linda! You're smile and warm approach to the experience is what makes Ventura Center THE BEST place to heal the body and soul!

Linda saved my life! I had a problem being regular my whole adult life and had a particular problem with gas. I went to Linda on high recommendation from my fitness coach and I am so glad I did! I am totally regular now and my gas has completely gone away. I thought that was something I was just going to have to live with. Thank God, it's not! She also gave me some health tips on my diet that helped tremendously. She and everyone who works there is a true gem! Thanks.

I am a 48 year old female and I work out 4 times a week. Last year I was having problems with not being able to lift my arm or do any type of arm exercise. I went to the doctor and was told there was nothing that could be done and I would have to live with this the rest of my life. Also, I was told to stop lifting weights. I told Linda about what was going on and she suggested I use Emu oil. The rest is history.....I have not had any pain with my arm since that time. Thank you Linda!

My name is C.J. and I am a 37 year old gym owner/fitness trainer. I began having colonics because I was taking large amounts of pain medication for post surgery back pain. I noticed my eyes yellowing and that I had severe constipation problems. I had read somewhere of the great detoxification benefits received from colonics. I had had one colonic several years before, which had been a painful and messy experience, but due to my reading of the benefits of this therapy, I decided to keep an open mind and try a new therapist. Linda Grossman of the Ventura Center for Healing had been recommended to me by one of my clients at my health club, who described Linda as a caring, informed and gentle person who provided an effective and pain free procedure.

I started having colonics on a regular basis (as recommended by Linda) and immediately experienced a feeling of well-being and of being cleansed. After just three treatments, I noticed my eyes became whiter, my skin clearer and I became very regular.

I highly recommend to all those concerned about living a healthier lifestyle to regularly cleanse their colon by the method of colon hydrotherapy. It's a great compliment to good nutrition and a regular exercise schedule to achieve a fit and healthy you.

Thought I would give you a progress report, but first of all I want to say thank you so much. I feel like you saved my life. Three months of no success on my own brought me seeking your help. And help you did! I have kept off the 15 pounds I had gained – I know it was all poop!

On November 7, I had a barium enema at Kaiser. Right afterwards, I started filling back up. On Friday November 16, I started calling Kaiser at noon. I had never been called with my results, was feeling poisoned again, and was completely frustrated. After a lot of screaming, I received a phone call at 7:30 that night from another Dr at Kaiser, who said that the results were negative and that I was fine-nothing wrong. I told her that was great, except that nothing had worked again for the last 10 days and I was gaining weight again and feeling horrible. She told me she would set up a sigmoidoscopy asap. That weekend I thought I was going to explode, called your office, but found that no one was available until the next Tuesday. On Tuesday I went for the sigmoidoscopy, and again they found nothing wrong. Finally spoke with my sister who is a geriatrician with Kaiser-Orange County and she has put me on a pretty strict regimen which seems to be working. I have had a smile on my face each day since last Saturday!

If a person has not been through something like this, they can not relate at all. People would look at me like I must be crazy – 3 months. I was told that was impossible. I told them it was true, and frightening. I also told the LNP at Kaiser that I had had colonics to try to get the stuff out of me. They couldn’t stress enough how horrible they are, how unsafe they are, etc. I asked them what Kaiser had been willing to do for me – absolutely NOTHING. They told me that it is not good for the flora of the colon to have that procedure. I told them it was not good for the flora of my colon to be so impacted for 3 months.

So now I have referred a friend to you. I appreciate so much what you did for me. You also made me feel like I wasn’t crazy, and you showed true compassion to me as your client, which I really appreciate. Kaiser treated me like I was taking up space. As I allow my body to get back on track and “relearn” its function, I will keep in mind the idea of quarterly maintenance, to change with the seasons. Thank You again for all of your help.
