If you are reading this, then you are at Emma's office at a desperate attempt to help your child. You have gone to your pediatrician and Gl Specialist, and they all tell you the same thing. Try Mirilax, enemas, exlax, increase fiber, drink more water, eat prunes, etc.Guess what. It isn't working, is it?
When Marissa was 7 years old, we started to notice she was having a lot of "accidents". She was hiding her-underwear from us and kept telling us "the poop just comes out, I can't hold it". This led us to the word of Encropesis, the soiling of underwear due to an impacted colon. Her Gl Specialist led us-to understand her colon is impacted with stool and she needed to be cleaned out with laxatives. The colon would then begin to heal. What they did not tell us, and what Emma educated me on is:
1. This impaction took years to get this way, it will take years to undo the damage.
2. The colon was so stretched out and abnormal it affected the nerve endings on her anus, so therefore, when she was telling me "the poop just comes out and I can't feel it or hold it" she was literally telling the truth.
3. Both her large and small intestine needed to be cleaned out, and this will be a long process of dietary changes for the rest of her life.
4. Colon impaction can be lethal; it can kill your child.
My husband and I faithfully took Marissa GI every 3 months, and at each visit they pushed the Mirilax and said "come back in 3 months". We couldn't live this way anymore. By this time she was 8 1/2 years old, soils herself repeatedly, hid her underwear from us out of shame and fear she-couldn't do sleepovers, and we packed extra clothes and babywipes everywhere we went.
I ended up going to see Emma from a friend's recommendation. I sat in her office and through many tears, told her about our situation. She looked at me and said "I can help you." From there, my faith was now placed in Emma's hands.
She educated me on dietary changes, avoiding-processed/greasy/fatty food, and to make better decisions re: fruits, vegetables, meats, and organic/gluten free foods. We also stopped giving Marissa Mirilax and began the products and organic vitamins. I have eaten everything that I have given Marissa, and let me tell you. But, as a parent, I made the decision that I would do what Emma told me to do, and that was getting a 8 1/2 year old to drink. We had tears, avoidance, fights, etc. In the beginning it was really hard and challenging. For a very long time I rewarded my child everyday for drinking it whether it was a small toy, trinket, or chocolate. I put my foot down, took control as the parent, and made her drink it no matter what.
Marissa is now 11. She drinks her product everyday without me asking her for the most part. She is making some healthier choices about her foods (not always though after all she is still a kid) and most importantly, she no longer has accidents. She no longer smells. She no longer hides her underwear. She can go to sleep overs. Her confidence has improved, and her fatherland I are no longer on edge, stressed, or frustrated.
If you are reading this, then you are a parent desperately seeking help for your child. If you have made the commitment to see Emma, then go a step further to commit to what she tells you to do to help your child. As hard as it was, I did, and my child is now healed.

Why I needed Emma I am a 29 year old young women. But I have never had the body and physical ability to act my age. I came to Emma in the summer of 2013. I came on the tale end of 3 years of intense treatment of having seen another homeopathic doctor for epilepsy (50-60 petit mal seizures a day), parasites, bowel problems which resulted in a series of Colonies, many times three times a week, fungi, gluten intolerance, SEVERE periods (major petit mal seizures, anal spasms, throwing up, diarrhea, tremors) needless to say when I went to this doctor I was in serious trouble and heading down hill fast. So once I got to a state of what I thought was well being someone recommended Emma as maintenance.
Meeting Emma When I met Emma for the first time, I remembered she had such a motherly way about her. She wasn't looking to push products on me but she truly wanted to get to the bottom of my problems and help me to have a quality of life. After talking with Emma the first time I realized that I still was in need of care more than I realized. All of the problems I was continuing to have petit-mal seizures, severe periods, lower back problems and irregular bowel movements. All of this seems to really increase during my period and no one could tell me why. Until I met Emma.
The proof is in the plan Emma very quickly showed me that my body was basically starving of minerals and therefore was not properly digesting the food and supplements that I was taking in. I was truly amazed of her knowledge of the body, she really helps you to see how not only the supplements you take but the food you eat, all have a bearing on the stability of your health. Amazing, was the simple fact that she did all of this while not having to run a single test! Her approach was simple and most importantly the cost to improve my health was very reasonable! Within a few months my back pain was decreased, my periods were regulated and my seizures were decreasing and I was finally having regular bowel movements every day. All of this was huge!! No one medical or natural doctor has ever been able to help with those problems. Emma targeted it and within just a few months I could tell the plan was working. I appreciate Emma because she is truly interested in her patient's well being and quality of life. She is not just a 9-5 doctor, if I wasn't feeling good or needed help. I knew I called or text her and she REALLY would get back to me as soon as she could. The only down side to seeing Emma is for the first time in my life I have to watch what I eat! Which is a good complaint! I know she can help with that as well if the time comes! I highly recommend anyone to go and see Emma. You won't leave her office feeling you wasted your time you will have learned something! I guarantee it!!

Dear Emma,
I want to thank you for all your help since I was introduced to you by Laura Flint. Not only have you helped me with my lymphedema, you have helped me end the thirty year cycle of living on antidepressant medication.
I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder in 1984 and have been on various drugs since. Thanks to you, I no longer need to take three antidepressants a day.. .1 am drug free. I was taking Cymbalta, Wellbutrin and Trazedone and I now take nothing but the healthy supplements you have provided me. Through your program, I have fewer and less intense episodes of depression. I feel so much better!
You also helped me to stop taking anti inflammatory drugs for arthritis and I have little discomfort in that area.
My other struggle is being overweight. You have and continue to help me understand the importance of eating healthy foods and recognize that sugar addiction is the root of all my woes! I have been chocolate free for a bit and already feel the difference. You have taught me the best way to fuel my body for optimum health.
Your wisdom, kindness, compassion and availability are unsurpassed. I am grateful beyond words. Sincerely,
Susan Richman
I was fortunate enough to meet Emma Ware in the winter of 2000. At the time I had just stopped drinking and smoking heavily for the first time in ten years. Needless to say, my body was a mess. My symptoms were chronic acne, hair loss, excessive sweating, mood swings, lack of energy, and trouble sleeping. I was happy when a close friend gave me Emma’s number and said, “she can help, she’s amazing.”
What was amazing to me initially was hot much information she had to offer me about the human body and how inspired and touched she was by her work. If I had a question she had an answer or would find the answer. Emma educated me concerning nutrition, exercise, and diet. As a result, within months my acne went away, my hair actually returned, my moods were more even, my energy level was up without sugar or caffeine, and I could sleep soundly. The most important gift that Emma gave me was knowledge: the knowledge of how my body works, and how I can take care of it through diet, nutritional supplements, and exercise. What a gift.
I am forever in debt to Emma for all of the above and much more. She is a great friend, an amazing person, and blessing to all of us who encounter her on our path to better health.

I have been overweight for the majority of my adult life and have tried numerous weight management and diet plans. While I have been able to lose weight before, I have had difficulty maintaining the weight loss. I was never able to transfer the “diet” rules into every life.
By following Emma’s individualized plan and advice for the past three months, I have lost 20 pounds and am still losing. Emma has shown me how to make lifestyle changes and choices I can easily continue to incorporate into my daily life even after I reach my weight goal. Not only do I look and feel better, but my energy level is amazing and my insomnia problem is greatly improved.
I would enthusiastically recommend Emma to anyone who is interested in improving his or her health and lifestyle.
Kathleen
Finding Emma Ware as a nutritionist was really an answer to a prayer for me. I have tried many popular weight loss programs without any lasting success. For the last three months with Emma’s help, I already am making progress in weight loss and better overall health. My blood sugar level at 8.6 is now 6.6, my weight is down 30 pounds, my cholesterol down 20 points and my energy level is much improved. The best part is that I enjoy what I am doing and don’t feel deprived. I love the way Emma individualizes the program for your specific needs and shows her concern for your optimal health. The future looks great and I look forward to continuing this journey to being the best I can be!
Very truly yours

My name is Bruce Lemmon and I weighted 390 lbs as of this past October. I haven’t been able to walk for the past 2 years because of gout and also had venous stasis in my legs. I went to see Emma my nutritionist and she put me on a very good program. She also has helped me be able to walk by getting rid of the toxins in my body by soaking my feet and legs with combinations of hot water and other additives. My color has improved in my legs and I have the gout under control. She has helped me get out of the wheelchair and starting to walk as well as losing weight. As of Jan 15th 2009 I’ve lost over 70 lbs. I really recommend Emma’s program to everyone who has had a problem like mine. I’ve been taught how to eat right and still keep losing weight. With this program I know I will keep getting better and I will be very healthy.
Bruce Lemmon
I am very thankful that I became aware of the nutritional value of natural foods. The program has helped me lose twenty pounds and I feel so much better. I had been on two cruises and had to rent motorized wheelchairs. Since being on this I have energy and can walk everywhere I go. I can even walk through the grocery stores. It sure is a great experience.
My name is Jennifer, and I am 31 years old. I have suffered with chronic insomnia for 6 years. I have seen sleep doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and hypnotherapists, and I have tried acupressure, acupuncture, melatonin, even sleeping pills.Nothing worked, and my insomnia only got worse. My problem became so severe, that at one point, I went for 8 whole days without any sleep or even a nap. I experienced hallucinations, went through a total mental breakdown, and was even contemplating suicide. I was unable to operate a car, and was unable to function at work. I eventually turned to sleeping pills, and took them habitually every night for 3 years. My dosage consistently increased, until finally I became immune to the pills. I continued to have endless nights of only an hour or two of sleep per night, and I experienced a zombie-like feeling during the day. Finally, after feeling like I had nowhere left to turn, and seriously wishing to end my life, I made one last attempt to find help… and I found Emma!
In my struggle, I thought perhaps I could try eating the right foods or better foods, and perhaps a nutritionist might be able to give me some answers. I called my doctor, and inquired to see if they had a nutritionist on staff. They did, so I made an appointment immediately. With blood shot eyes, covered in dark circles, I dragged my very sad self into Emma’s office, and simply said “I cannot sleep, I cannot live like this, can you help me? I am desperate!” Without hesitation, Emma said “Yes I can,” with complete assurance. I thought it must be too good to be true.
The first thing she asked me is if I use artificial sweeteners, and I replied “Yes, I use about 5 packets a day of Sweet “N” Low!” She had me cut ALL artificial sweeteners from my diet, including sodas, “sugar free” foods… anything that contained aspartame, etc. Taking this small, but important step changed my life. From that day forward, I started to sleep, and eventually found my way back to sanity. I started doing tons of research, and learned how many dangers are in our everyday foods that contain artificial sweeteners and chemicals. I have been under Emma’s care for approximately four months now, and can truly say that I am a whole new person! I feel energy, strength, and vitality.
Through her program, Emma has looked at every aspect of my life, and my weaknesses, and has personally defined a program for me, that works for me as an individual. She has found answers for me where NOBODY else could. Through her experience and knowledge, Emma has singlehandedly found the root of my problem, and she solved it within a matter of days! She really gave me the courage to hang in there and battle this demon, and always made me feel like I didn’t have to struggle it alone.
During the beginning stage of my care, which was the most crucial time period for me, Emma would call me at home, just to say “How are you doing, how are you sleeping?” I always knew she was there for me, which in my opinion, her encouragement is what helped me to reach such a quick recovery from my illness. There were a few times I had a few set backs that hit me pretty hard (to be expected), but Emma was there for me, and allowed me to reach her personally, on her cell phone. On one day in particular, I think I called her 6 times, I was that much of a wreck! She helped me through every step of that day, and helped me to successfully overcome that unbelievable battle.
I am now sleeping about 6-8 hours a night, which for me is absolute heaven. I never thought I could reach this goal. I can now say that my darkest days are far behind me, and a bright future is definitely within my reach.

Emma Ware is a life saver!!
For years I was on the *I eat because I’m depressed….I’m depressed because I’m fat… I’m fat because I eat…* rollercoaster. I barely had the energy to go to work, I was in constant pain, my bowels were not my friend and I found myself being winded after the slightest exercise. I was finally confronted by my doctor, who sent me to see Emma. What a different life I have now. After 8 months with Emma I am now full of energy, off medications I was using for joint pain, my bowels are under control, I exercise 6 days a week (and enjoy it) and I am (approximately) 55 lbs. lighter.
I have tried tons of diets… this is not one. Emma’s *program* is so much more, it is a life coaching/changing program. Emma gets to know you, what you like and don’t like and figures out what will and won’t work for you (I got to keep alcohol and coffee on my program) I *know* how to listen to my body… I don’t overeat or overindulge because I can *hear* when my body has had enough. The healthy recipes Emma hands out are delicious and easy to follow. She even has great shopping tips.
Emma Ware has made a Huge Positive difference in my life!!

Dear Emma,
This is a very heartfelt thanks. When I went to see my doctor and saw your information in the waiting room I thought, why not?
After meeting with you I found out very clearly that I was starving myself in order to lose weight. I was also seeing doctors because I never felt well or had any energy.
One day I remember seeing a TV show about Henry Reagan and they mentioned she wore a size 8 and how wonderful that would be if I could too. When we met I wore a size 12 sometimes a 10 and nothing really fit right. After working with you for a few months, which was always a pleasure, I now wear a size 6!!! Not only that, I have more energy and don’t feel like a sick person any more.
Emma, again, thank you for being who you are.
Your friend, Jennifer
Emma has been a real gem to me. After years of swollen ankles with no apparent cause, Emma has unlocked that mystery. Along with lack of energy and weight gain brought on mainly from menopause. I have had much success in a short period of time – Thank you Emma!
Byrdeen C. Nota
Since I began coming to Emma, I have lost pounds and inches. My clothes are fitting so much better and I have so much more energy. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting in on the program and learning to eat the healthy way. Just doing the program with Emma I have learned so many ways to eat to get the middle of my body smaller and lose belly fat that has been making me feel so bad about myself. Emma is a great motivator, she has encouraged me so much. I look forward to my appointments with her every Monday, she always has new ideas that keep with getting your body back to being healthy.
Brenda Bowder
With Emma’s program I actually ENJOY eating for health. My taste buds have changed not only for solid foods, but for sweets and chocolates. I am SURPRISED and HAPPY that I no longer have cravings.
Jean Neumier – 1999
Emma, thank you for guiding me and inspiring me along the path to a healthier life style. Fifteen months ago I was at my peak weight and not eating correctly and not exercising. My weight had yo-yoed over the years following a variety of diets. I was looking for help in finding an eating style that was nutritious and tasty and that I could live with for a lifetime. Your nutrition guidance was what I needed. Your advice on types of foods, portion sizes, and frequency of eating is invaluable. It is a plan that incorporates normal (real) food and does require a denial of certain foods. I now understand that the combinations of foods and herbs are designed to keep the body working and digesting properly. As I have lost weight (42 lbs) I have felt more energetic and am now walking 2.5 miles five times a week. I use these walks as a time of reflection and the sun and fresh air boosts my spirits and energy. Also I have been able to decrease my high blood pressure medications by half. I wanted a change in attitude toward eating and health. With your guidance and support I have achieved this new perspective.

I went to Emma and started her program. With her program I stopped my cravings for candy, alcohol and snacks. I felt so much better and started to lose weight the first week. I do not like to take pills because of the bad side effects most of them have on me… The herbs that Emma recommended could be taken in a breakfast drink and were warm and soothing to my system.Along with the weight problem I was in the middle of a terrible depression, afraid to be alone, always crying, stressed out and so tired. I developed a bad cold which lingered and didn’t help my distressed state.On Emma’s program of herbs and vitamins, I am so much better now. The weight is coming off, I am happy, with most of the fears gone. I am getting my life back together.There were times when I needed someone to talk to and I would just call my “angel” Emma and she helped me through some difficult moments.

How do I describe Emma? Wonderful, knowledgeable, angel, definite “life-saver.” All my life I have dealt with bouts of constipation, diarrhea, constipation, diarrhea. I was taking all kinds of pills, reading all kinds of literature and taking advice from many people. I was a vicious circle and I hated it. Just recently it was more diarrhea than anything else. Pills were not helping. I went for the usual, upper and lower GI series, colonoscopy, and the whole nine yards. The only thing they found was diverticulitis. I was told eat fiber, eat fiber, drink plenty of water and the more I did the more diarrhea I had. My kids were ready to kidnap me and take me to Duke University Medical Hospital for further testing because they did not believe the locals were doing their jobs. Finally my family doctor suggested I see a nutritionist. At first though, what is a nutritionist going to do for me? I thought I was eating right; boy was I wrong! After talking with Emma and giving her my life story (she is a wonderful listener) she asked many questions (many!). After my first visit Emma came up with a diet that she wanted me to try. Well along with the diet (which is not really a diet at all but a nutritional way of eating) and also along with certain vitamins and herbs, I have not had any problems with my lower intestinal tract since June. Six (6) months later I am a living testimony to what dietary changes can do for your body. As a side benefit I have lost weight and inches and my clothes fit better. I have so much energy and I feel better than I have felt in years. Recently I went on a cruise and was very worried about my dietary needs. Emma just told me to be sensible, watch my portions and I even had a couple of drinks. After one week I only gained 1.5 lbs and have already lost that and more upon my return. For me losing the weight was a side benefit, I just wanted to be HEALTHY. Eating healthy is a life style change only you can make, but with help from Emma it is my life now! Emma, I thank God every day for meeting you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Your plan is the greatest thing to ever happen. I’m diabetic and was not able to lose weight. My sugar would fluctuate greatly and I did not feel good. With this plan I eat “real” food, even spaghetti’ my night sweats are gone, I never feel deprived, I feel good. Every day, my mental attitude is better and I’ve lost 20 pounds. More will go in the next few weeks. My sugar stays the same – I’m just better!!! I highly recommend this plan – it’s fantastic!
Melba Johnson
As a client of Emma Ware’s over the past six months, I am thrilled with the results! I have lost 65 pounds and my energy and mobility have improved significantly. Emma’s program for correct eating habits along with portion control, herbal supplements, and daily exercise will change your metabolism and give you, as it did me, the success you never dreamed possible.
Thanks Emma!

Dear Emma,
Here is my testimonial. Sorry this took so long. I hope you are doing well. I cannot thank you enough for your help. I have had so many people tell me how good I look over the past few months. The stability of my moods is something that still amazes me from day to day. I have more friends who want to come see you. I wish you all the best.
The decision to go and see Emma for the first time was one of the best I ever made. One of the first things that impressed me was how her style differed from almost every other medical professional I have ever been to for treatment. Emma’s method is not to listen to the symptoms, deduce the best prescription and send the patient out the door. Her focus is to teach each patient to care for her or himself. She seeks to treat the whole body, not just the symptoms at hand. I have come to know better health with Emma than I had with any other professional in the field of medicine.
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder last year. The medications I was put on came with a host of side effects that were even worse than the symptoms of the disorder. Every time I went to the doctor for relief from the side effects I was given more medications, which came with other side effects. The cycle seemed never-ending, and when I was up to taking 10-15 pills a day and feeling less “healthy” than I had ever felt in my life, I realized that there had to be a better way.
That was when I started seeing Emma. I have since learned that my manic-depressive episodes have nearly as much to do with my diet as they do with my genetics. Keeping a “chemical balance” in my body has held my moods stable, my hair and skin healthy, and my energy level high. The diet Emma has me on is very personalized and does not involve any unnatural chemicals. There are no side effects and no costly check-ups. Although I miss seeing Emma, I am very grateful that she has taught me to take care of myself. My friends have noticed the difference in my moods and appearance, and they all want to see her now. Thank you Emma, thank you for my good health.
Sincerely,
Patrick Foy
To Whom It May Concern,
I am a professional baseball player. It’s crazy to say it and think it. What everybody ordinary person does not know is how important eating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is off the field and during the offseason. It can determine if I have a career in baseball or not. I was referred to Emma from a person whom I met at a holiday
function. My organization had told me to lose 35 lbs. before I participated in Spring Training last year. I figured why not give Emma a try. Now, I do not know what my life would be like without her involved. I went from being 261 lbs. to 225 lbs. and that does not really even matter to me. The more important thing she did for me was helping me develop a healthy lifestyle that would allow me to perform at my highest level all the time. She is one of the main reasons I am where I am in my life. My relationship with her is amazing and she is always available to talk to, if I need anything or have a question. She even went to the extent to help develop a plan for me while I was on the road for six months. Emma has changed my life for the better and has allowed me to hopefully live a long healthy life. She has influenced me so much that whenever I finish my career, I plan to enter her field in some form to help pass on her beautiful lifestyle she has instilled in me.
The “Diet”…It is the wrong way to look at what she has you do. She is really not a dietician, I think of her as a lifestyle coach. She teaches you about food and how to eat and cook properly. (She is an amazing cook. For the right price she will come to your house and teach you… just kidding). She will get you to try foods you never would have even thought of eating before and you will actually like them. My pallet for food now only dislikes three types of food, everything else is fair game. My cooking skills are equivalent of Bobby Flay now (joking…pretty good though). The knowledge she has about food seems like a bottomless pit. I’ve learned so much about food itself that it has turned me off popularized foods and made me focus on nurturing my body with healthy foods. Along with the proper food information, I was also taught about proper vitamins and minerals to intake. Now, I take more pills than my 98 year old great grandmother takes, but it is for the reason of my high level of physical activities and lifestyle. I now cannot start my day without taking my pills and homeopathic drops; I just do not feel right. Everyone is different and it may seem overwhelming at first but it becomes a habit that a person cannot live without. I cannot say it enough “Emma Ware is amazing!”
My life will never be the same and I am so thankful for meeting Emma. I now have been going to her for over a year, once a week while I am home. I have never been healthier in my life than I am now and my physical performance has never been higher. I am forever in debt to her for what she has done for me and anyone questioning or hesitant to work with her, all I have to say is, “Don’t look back in life and say would of, could of, should of, and just do it. It is for your benefit and you will not regret it.”
Sincerely,
Michael Williams

Dear Emma,
I am sending another check for four more bottles of the liver cleanse. Norma is still taking all her supplements without fail and is doing wonderful.
Her liver tumor has shrunk from over three quarters of her liver to less than a quarter. She is going to see a specialist this month about burning the rest of it off with chemoembolization. She has four more chemo treatments out of the twelve and then we will see where we go from there, but she will probably be able to take a break from chemo. We plan to take them on a cruise inAugust to Hawaii, so it will be nice if she is off of it for that.
The oncologist said that there are very few that have responded as well as Norma has and her blood cancer count is down to 15 (5 is normal and she started at 3,600) and he fully believes that it will go to normal.
Norma has been such a great inspiration for all of us and has kept such a great attitude through all of this, she looks great and says she feels as if nothing is wrong with her.
We just want to thank you for all of your help and consistent support.
Once Norma is done with this round of chemo we would like to meet with you to see if we should make any changes in her supplements and anything else.
Thank you again,
Nicole Douglas

I think I have tried every major diet there is, and have never been successful. Then I met Emma and my whole world changed.
This is not a diet that I’m on and I do not exercise, yet I am steadily losing weight.
I eat the foods I like, never feel hungry or deprived, and am so pleased when I step on the scale every week.
Thanks to Emma and her support and encouragement, I know that this time I will succeed!

August of 2010,
I went to physical therapy to see if therapy could help me fix my left leg.
I met with Laura Flint P.T. C.L.T. She was confidant. She worked on my leg and said to me trust me. After two months I was amazed. I was ok. Laura highly recommend Emma Ware certified nutritionist.
Emma began teaching me how to make myself healthy and well. Emma weight me then sat me down and talk to me and asked me things like the food I eat and how active I am. To be honest I was not in very good shape.
I weight was 235 lbs. ha ha ha I wish, IT was 335 lbs. Emma next told me something that made me surprised. She told me no diet soda, no soda of any kind, no diet food and no sugar free. Then Emma asked me to go shopping and buy organic oil, organic apple vinegar, organic cheese etc. etc. also stuff for a soup fast for one day.
It is now January 10, 2011, and I weight 278 lbs. this after the holiday may be the ha ha are possible. I am going to close now.
Emma thank you, you are blessed.
