Emotional Support for my Child

Dr Joanne Pautz has been treating our family and extended family for years now. She is amazing and so precise with the medication. She makes us feel welcomed all the time and gets down to the root of the problem wether it may be a health issue or emotional support. My daughter started school recently and she gave us homeopathic meds to assist with her emotions. Within 3 days she was fine and her happy self again. She has a gentle approach which is so powerful! We are so fond of her and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Kidney Stones

Thanks to Dr Joanne Pautz’s great advise and recommendation, my 85 year old father has not needed operations (as recommended by hospital and urologist) to shatter and remove large kidney stones. After taking a natural kidney stone remedy for a couple of weeks, he painlessly passed 3 kidney stones. What a huge relief!!! Forever grateful for the advise given

Hashimoto’s Disease, Celiac Disease, Vitiligo

After spending years and years and thousands and thousands of Rands at traditional medical practitioners, Dr. Joanne managed to work out “what was wrong with me”. 

Before I met Dr. Joanne, I was down with the flu, bronchitis or pharyngitis almost every month. My employers and boyfriends hated me. And, all the traditional doctors did was prescribe antibiotics and cortisone and send me off with a pat on the bum until I was back a month later. To boot, my stomach was a mess and I suffered from constant cramps, daily diarrhoea, bizarre weight gain, IBS as well as almost-suicidal fatigue and depression. I just figured I was a sickly person that wanted to sleep 14 hours a day and had accepted my future as a rather sick and quite frankly, annoying person. 

After a bout of swine flu, which had ruined my long-planned overseas holidays, a friend recommended Dr. Joanne to me. 

That referral was probably one of the best things that could have happened in my life, ever. 

Dr. Joanne saw me in the thick of the December holidays 2014 and was incredibly kind and patient, despite my obvious scepticism and thinning patience when it came to doctors of any kind. I had just been on 3 courses of antibiotics and was taking 30 tablets of cortisone daily with no reprieve. After Dr. Joanne saw me, I was better within 3 days using only natural supplements. 

Dr. Joanne continued to treat me for my other ailments and finally managed to diagnose a severe thyroid problem (Hashimoto’s disease), which was most likely caused by my celiac disease (diagnosed by a specialist short while later). Once I’d received my full diagnoses, Dr. Jo has been treating me in conjunction with a specialist Endocrinologist as well as a Gastroenterologist to ensure that I take a holistic (and not only clinical) approach to my overall health. Dr. Joanne has made me mindful of the soul, mind and body connection and treated me as a whole person. Some sessions were incredibly clinical and practical and others were more like spiritual-release interventions as I worked through some of my personal issues that contributed to the 3 autoimmune diseases I have (I have Vitiligo too by the way).  No doctor has ever treated me with such kindness, care, concern and authenticity as Jo. She’s a no-fuss doctor with the right balance of clinical experience and real anatomical knowledge coupled with a spiritual and emotional understanding that makes her a truly rare creature.

Since Jo’s begun to treat me, I have lost weight, gained muscle, have better eating habits and take regular supplements to maintain my now-healthier immune system. I really doubt I would be where I am today (which is healthy, happy and thriving) without Jo’s care, constant guidance and magic potions. 

Jo’s been in it with me in the long run and it means the world to know she will always be there for me. She has made me happier, healthier and STRONGer than ever before.

A Fresh Perspective

I love working with Dr Jo to explore where I am at and where I am heading- with my health, my work life and my family. My health took a very serious knock some years back, leaving me physically, emotionally and financially depleted. It’s been an incredibly empowering journey coming back to health and wellness on so many levels. Sessions with Dr Jo are fluid and open- drawing in whichever therapy or modality suits my needs best at that moment. Sometimes it’s a blood test that is needed; or maybe a homeopathic remedy; and other times, fresh perspective is all that’s required, which Dr Jo delivers in a timely, straightforward and compassionate manner. The skill set and tool kit available through Dr Jo to support my journey is varied and vast, and very affordable!

7 Day Purification Program

Weaning off drug medication

A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica, a virus in the muscles and was treated with a prednisone drug (Medrol) for two years.  In March this year my blood tests were clear of the virus and now I had to wean myself off the Medrol, which resulted in a breakout of a very itchy rash on my legs, leaving them hard and swollen and very cold.  I was exhausted, very swollen with water retention in my legs and a round face.  I had a bloated tummy and aching in my joints and muscles – a side effect of the Medrol which were weakening my adrenal glands.  I also have steroidal cataracts in my left eye and my vision was horribly impaired from the drug.

I started the 7 Day Purification Program last Saturday (24 May 2014) and by 27 May (3 days into the detox)…

1.       The rash on my skin is almost clear and my skin is soft and warm – not tight and cold – and not so itchy

2.       I am no longer tired in the morning when I wake up – I am fresh and energetic and I sleep like a baby – stopped the trepiline which I have been on for 2 years so was concerned I may be addicted and not able to sleep – well not so

3.       I can climb the stairs at work without feeling mortified that I even had to look at them

4.       No more burning tight feet when I go to bed at night – they used to ache and burn

5.       The bloated hard tummy has softened and reduced in size somewhat as well

6.       And I am not so stiff when I get up in the morning

7.       And no depression – I think it was just from the continuous ache

8.       Still a bit of aches and pain in the shoulder and neck area but it is manageable

Chronic Fatigue

My health had been bad for years- a diagnosis of Rickettsia (a tropical germ-based disease – night sweats, pain, extreme fatigue and fuzzy thinking) had brought long-term treatment with tetracyclines which were helpful but ongoing. I continued on antibiotics for about four years, until I developed a serious allergy to them. I was still not 100% recovered. The tropical diseases doctor suggested I try homeopathy.

After I found Dr Pautz, and she started a range of treatments, I found my health increasing to such a remarkable degree that I find it hard to remember how I managed to live in that continual state of exhaustion. I found the energy healing particularly helpful, and got guidance on a spiritual level as well. I reached some remarkable conclusions about my health and my life. That to me was true healing. Thank you so much.

Multiple Sclerosis

I was diagnosed with “multiple sclerosis” early in 2007. My symptoms were a tingling and numbness from my waist down. I still had full movement but no feeling. The diagnosis was made by a Neurologist after numerous tests were conducted in hospital and possible other causes were eliminated. Cortisone was prescribed and I was left to deteriorate and the symptoms become severe. I had increasing pain and my feet were frequently swollen. Treatment was then water tablets, anti inflammatory and pain killers. I was in and out of hospital every four months, spending a week at a time.

Walking became very painful and the drugs became less and less effective. I had also become dependent on alcohol and coca-cola. It was then that I decided to seek treatment from a Homeopath and found Dr Joanne Pautz’s details on the internet. I was very pleased to hear that Joanne believed that she could help me to regain my quality of life and possibly in the long term, conquer the “multiple sclerosis”.
I embraced her recommendations, stopped the alcohol, coke and other bad habits and started the 7 day purification program to clear my system. While the initial stages were difficult, the benefits were soon felt. The pain and swelling eased and I was more mobile. On Joanne’s recommendation, I joined a gym and started regular exercises, something I thought I would never be able to do again. After about a two month of the treatment, Dr Pautz did the first body alignment session on me. I was amazed at the correlation between the “blockages” she found and the traumatic events that I had experienced in my life. Not realizing, I had buried all my painful experiences which had been poisoning my body, even from a young child and this was worsened by the loss of each family member one at a time over the past 10 years, leaving me with nobody, but my immediate family.

Through this time, I have continued to take Dr Pautz medication and the benefits are:-
The pain is now about half of what it used to be. Some days I am pain free
I am able to sleep 7 – 8 hours per night and have more energy
I have lost twenty kilograms in weight and am enjoying my body
I am slowly starting to regain feeling and I now can feel the tops of my legs. Amazing!
My state of mind is so much better
I have a positive outlook on life and am slowly putting my past losses behind me
I have been so blessed to have found Dr Joanne Pautz and I believe as she does, one day soon I will free of “multiple sclerosis”
Don’t ever let doctors tell you that there is no cure
