TESTIMONIALS

  • I am very impressed with the effectiveness of the leech treatment on my swollen and painful leg. The leech treatment has exceeded my expectations and I shall recommend it to my family and friends.

    VH, Prestatyn

  • The leeches on my toe cleared up the infection almost immediately. I have had no symptoms at all, since I saw you.

    AJ, Ascot

  • Thanks to your leeches on my knee (three applications), I was able to go back to work for two years. I had tried every possible treatment before this, and it just made my knee worse. Finally, the cause of my knee pain was resolved (torn cartilage) following years of mis-diagnosis by my GP.

    IJ, Worcester

  • I tried one session of leeches, to see if it would help my general wellbeing. Next morning, I had amazing energy! The effect lasted about 3 months.
