December 2012, Heal Thyself Feedback Survey, "What do you like most?":

• A wealth of information. I don't want to take pharmaceuticals and I have found alternative healing treatments on your website.
• At this time, I think this is a lot of info to absorb. I can’t tell what to change or add. It covers a lot already. I’m not a professional herbalist, nor a professional nutritionist, so for me this is already great coverage.
• By sharing lots of great ideas that are simple and effective.
• Can you put up more child informational posts? Like vitamins worth it or not?
• clone Pat
• Connected me with others who are like-minded so I have some sense of "normalcy." Also get to read tons of ideas so I can think of things I hadn't before, use new remedies, etc.
• Continue what you’re doing.
• Encouragement!
• Everything has been helpful, informative and empowering.
• Fresh ideas
• Great advice and info on GMO and bad food additives. I made and am consuming my Master Tonic daily. Eating well is the key! Thanks.
• Great information especially last night with the link about auto immune solutions.
• Great information in easily digested format.
• Heal Thyself has been a wonderful site that I've shared with many. I love the input from other members but mostly, I appreciate the links and direction to resources.
• Heal Thyself has helped me know what to do to help and prevent sicknesses naturally.
• Heal Thyself has helped me with new healthy ideas - has me thinking healthy regarding everything we put in our mouth.
• Heal Thyself has made me aware, and then given me direction to heal my family’s many illnesses due to improper nutrition, lifestyle, and exposure to chemicals and medicines.
• Heal Thyself has pointed me in the right direction while trying to heal my family. Bone broth, Master Tonic, herbs, adrenal health info, 10 pm bedtime, etc., all things my husband and I have been adding to our life and it makes a HUGE difference!! Growing up using conventional meds and consuming the SAD and slowing switching to everything from scratch and no more meds is awesome!!! We still have more work to do but I'm constantly surprised that the human body can heal on its own.
• Heal Thyself has provided me with a way to take back my health naturally. It's loaded with advice and resources that have been tried and tested.
• Heal Thyself provides access to information about alternative treatments and nutrition that is not available from conventional medical sources.

• Healthy information
• Helping me learn about nutrition and how to nourish my family in a manner that focused on adding in nutrient dense foods instead of cutting out various foods. Heal Thyself has helped me to be creative and see that there are always options, alternatives and possibilities when it comes to nourishing my family. It has helped me to let go of fear around food/nutrition/health (esp. in relation to food sensitivity issues) as well as to enjoy the benefits of adding in healthful foods in a manner that honors and respects the choices of myself and my family as individuals. It's been a supportive environment made up of a plethora of amazing and knowledgeable resources. Finding Heal Thyself was the true start of my journey towards a more nourishing way of living, and I am forever grateful for it!!! <3
