TESTIMONIAL
I will give an honest appraisal of my 30 days at the ANHC. First I
would like to thank my therapist Vivek and Sibu whose talented hands
have eased all my aches and pains. I would also like to thank James
for his insights into Goan life. When they made him, they broke the
mould, he is a true gentleman. My thanks also go to Julie in the
office for putting up with me badgeing her to use the PC, and Mary for
her endless smiles, and Rana for offering nutritious and wholesome
food on a daily basis.
I returned home on March 10. By the end of my trip, I felt very
good. I still had pain but the treatments helped my fatigue. Sadly
though for the first week I was back in the UK, as each day passed, it
felt like someone was adding another weight to my legs. That might
have something to do with the cold though!! It was a shock to the
system after such nice warm weather.
I feel as though I have had a full recovery though, just a minor
grumble. So, in my mind the trip was certainly beneficial. I am aware
though that it is a situation that will require monitoring and further
treatment.

TESTIMONIAL
I was diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis in
1996. I had a relapse in March 2006, the worst yet. Doctors in England
said I could expect no further improvement in my health. I am pleased
to say my stay at ANHC has proved them wrong. I walked in with the
support of a stick, poor balance, muscle spasms, bladder and bowel
problems. Now I am walking out with a spring in my step - still a
slight dragging of my left leg but so very very much improved. I feel
very humble and grateful to these clever, caring people. I recommend
ayurveda to everyone to help you live a life that will help you avoid
disease and help you deal with the difficulties that one develops as
life goes on. I am a 38 years old widow but I feel my stay here has
brought me back to life. I look forward to the future now.

TESTIMONIAL
I cannot believe that 3 months have flew away so quickly. I am
suffering from multiple sclerosis. When I came I had a crouch, but I
will leave it here cause now I can walk for kilometres. The entire
staff had been wonderful and I will miss them all. A special thanks to
my wonderful, considerate Dr. Rohit who makes me laugh so often.
"Laughter is the best medicine" he use to say, and this centre is
really a laughing paradise. Love you all till we meet next time.
