David, 70
treatment date: 2007
testimonial date: 2007
Chronic arthritis pain, swollen ankles and feet, asthma and bronchitis triggered by cold temperature, knee pain. Now, after about ten sessions, the arthritis pain is gone, knee pain is continuing to lessen, asthma and bronchitis is gone, so no more spending $200 a month on inhalers. Feet and ankles have almost returned to normal, and had improved drastically after one or two sessions. “I am experiencing unexpected benefits apart from my initial stated goals!” David expects continued progress.
Justin Ebanks, age 14
treatment date: 1998
testimonial date: 2008
Over ten years ago, Madeline and William’s son Justin, 4 years old at the time, had many allergies including corn, what, eggs, peanuts, and grass. At least every other week he would have cold symptoms and asthma. He tested allergic to many foods, to corn in particular. His parents had to be very careful with what they fed him and selecting and eating the bland, allergen-free foods became a chore. Corn is particularly insidious because it comes in many disguises and is in a great variety of foods. When Justin attended birthday parties, they had to bring “special” food and cake so he wouldn’t feel left out. Because of his allergy to grass, freshly cut grass especially, he had to stay indoors with the windows closed when they mowed the lawn at home. If the grass was recently cut at his daycare, he couldn’t go out and play with the other kids. Since his sessions with BodyTalk in 1998, he still experiences occasional asthma during flu season, however, he is no longer bothered by his allergies; he regularly eats corn and corn products, peanut butter sandwiches, and eggs with no reactions.
Brittani Ebanks, age 11
treatment date: 1999
testimonial date: 2008
Brittani, who was two years old at the time, suffered with frequent ear infections and as a result was always on antibiotics. Her parents took her to an ENT (ear, nose, and throat doctor) who told them right away that she needed surgery to have tubes placed in her ear. They weren’t comfortable with the idea of surgery and did not schedule it right away. William then contacted Marita who showed him two links do at home, ear to axilla (armpit) and cortices. He did these links to 3 times over a 5 day period (1st, 3rd & 5th day). Since then Brittani has not had an ear infection and did not need the surgery. Nine years later Brittani has had no further ear infections and no ear complications. Incidentally, William also did this link on 3 other children on the Island (the family lives in the Cayman Islands) and they improved and have not needed surgery or have they had any further ear infections.
Sally Clark, 85
treatment date: 1999
testimonial date: 09-07
In 1999, Sally had suffered bladder infections for over two years, and was on antibiotics almost constantly. After her first BT session with Marita, she hasn’t had another one. The session linked the cheekbones to the pubic bone. Almost 5 years later she is still free from bladder infections.
Margaret Clark, 52
treatment date: 2000
testimonial date: 09-05-07
Severe chemical food sensitivities, especially corn (including corn syrup). Nervous system damage from a pesticide reaction. After exposure to corn, was often unable to speak or use legs/hands (spastic) for a few days at a time. She had to bring her own salad dressing with her when she went out to eat and had to be so careful with what she ordered. Dining out was almost impossible. After her session, she went home and ate a bowl of popcorn, and was exhilarated. “Now I can eat whatever I choose!!!” She is still wary of chemicals but does not experience the severe reactions if exposed, rarely loses speech, and rarely has muscle spasms. “I work again and have a full life!” She remembers being in a restaurant shortly after her BodyTalk sessions, she had very sentimental moment with her elderly father. He had reached over, wanting her to have a taste of his food and without hesitation, she was able to accept. She was touched to tears.
Alison, 58
treatment date: 2003
testimonial date: 2008
Acute mastitis, very inflamed, painful right breast. She had previously been to other doctors and had taken medications, but this did not work. She was told to wait it out and there was nothing they could do, so she went to Marita. Two manual lymph drainage sessions over a period of three days sessions cleared the inflammation completely.
Adam, 3yrs old
treatment date: 2001
testimonial date: 2003
Hives with garbanzo beans. No other known allergies. Has taken some benedryl for the hives. Treated phenols (Phenylisothiocyanate in particular, which occurs in all beans, peanuts, beef, cheese, chicken, and eggs). Phenolic compounds occur naturally and give characteristic colors, flavors, and odors to foods and help to preserve them. 2 sessions and now eats beans! Addressing this issue early helps to avoid compounding causes of additional food intolerances and later food allergies.
Sandra, 68 yrs old
treatment date: 2004
testimonial date: 2008
Chronic sciatica. Reciprocals, periformis muscle, deep in the pelvis, in BodyTalk is related to the heart, orientation to disappointment and unspoken regret about her middle child, a son. 6 sessions and then one follow-up 6 months later and now (2008) still no sciatica pain. She comes in regularly for sessions anyway.
Thorsten, age 31
treatment date: 2000
testimonial date: 2004
Slight scoliosis in lumbar spine. Low back pain, cold and draft sensitive (lives in “cold, damp Germany” said he “felt like putting a blanket over his knees like an old man,” despite his actual age) digestive gas relating to the curvature of spine blocking normal “flow”. 2 sessions to deal with low back pain. Couple of weeks later, and had realized an improvement in hair, had not been losing hair. Typical links: kidney, knee, spine, ears, pelvic bones. Little had they realized that they had addressed the kidney complex, which in Chinese Medicine address male balding pattern. Draft sensitivity has improved.
Brenda D., 44
treatment date: 2001
testimonial date: 2001
Psoraisis. Fundamental substances: sugar, wheat, and then coffee, chocolate, and caffeine. Three sessions using the combination of coffee, chocolate, and caffeine to neutralize emotional charges from childhood at ages of 8, 9, and 10 had to be done over the course of three sessions. Neuromuscular biofeedback used in the BT system was used to retrieve the emotions of anger and betrayal so that they could be neutralized. About 10 sessions of BT. After 8th session, psoriasis was completely gone.
Rebecca, 35
treatment date: 2000
testimonial date: 2007
Multiple food allergies and chemically and environmentally sensitive, fibromyalgia. After a few sessions, Marita discovered that she was not drinking any water. She drank 10 cans of decaf, diet coke and 2 cups of coffee a day. Marita asked if she could cut down, and Rebecca was unwilling to change her habits. Marita sent her away. Three months later, she came back saying that every time she took a sip on her soda she saw Marita’s face and decided she needed to return for sessions. Would you clean your kitchen counters with coke? No. You would use water. If someone has not been drinking water, their body, the nervous system in particular is dehydrated (sticky) and BodyTalk linking cannot occur. Although elimination diets are not prescribed in BodyTalk, cutting down on the diet cokes alone made “linking” possible.

Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Severe pain in left shoulder due to acute rheumatoid arthritis. One session BT, treated sitting up in a chair because he was in too much pain, and too stiff to lie down. Used a walker. All reciprocals. After his session he got right up and actually forgot his walker on the way out! A few months later, his blood tests came back showing no rheumatoid arthritis. Follow-up in January 2008, and once in a while every few years in-between for minor bouts of rheumatoid arthritis.
