TESTIMONIALS
Here is a selection of some of my clients' experiences of Natural medicine:
Thank you Maria. At long last I am able to sleep peacefully knowing my son has been released from the grasp of that terrible monster that is Obsessive Compulsive Disoder. In the past, for me, I tried verbally to get my son to stop washing his hands until they were red raw. The constant reassuring that he is safe and the checking of taps put a huge strain on our family. He was 5 when symptoms of O.C.D, occurred and after visits to psychiatrists revealed no help other than strong medication that he himself didn't recommend, I found you and freedom. On behalf of my family, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. I recommend you to all of my friends and family. I feel you have enabled my son to gain so much more out of life.

No more asthma symptoms, itchy eyes and runny noses. Maria's patience, care and remedies have made an incredible change to my well being. IN with Maria OUT with costly five minute consultations and ineffective or potentially addictive and harmful prescriptions.

I had excruciating spasms in my back which basically incapacitated me. At the time I had two small children and was in my first trimester of pregnancy and the medical treatments that I would normally use were contra-indicated. Thank goodness I was able to contact Maria and she gave me a homeopathic remedy which I could easily access and it was a really good relaxant for these spasms and really did provide me with relief and no other treatment was required.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 27 and, after having my daughter at 32, suffered a series of symptom relapses. One of these involved an excruciating Trigeminal Neuralgia. The pain was akin to having a dentist drilling on the nerves of a number of teeth without anaesthetic. The searing pain shifted around my jaw, with only short pauses, leaving me in a cold sweat.
As I believed that the pain was related to my teeth I sought treatment from my dentist. He believed that it was caused by my grinding my teeth. He prescribed Valium which was supposed to help me ‘relax’ and resolve the pain. After 3 days nothing had changed.
I then made an emergency appointment with my GP as I was virtually going out of my mind. I was fearful of even holding my baby in case the intensity of the pain resulted in my dropping her. My GP was very sympathetic, telling me that facial neuralgia (being a MS symptom) was rated as extreme. However all she could offer was medication for Epilepsy. This came with no guarantee that it would prove effective or how long I would need to take it before I would know whether it was going to work. Reading the long list of potential side effects left me absolutely mortified.
Having sought out Maria Duggan for a natural alternative and advice for my daughters’ skin problems I made my way to her consulting room directly after seeing my GP. In tears and clutching the frightening list of side effects for the Epilepsy medication Maria gently asked me specific questions about the nature of the pain and any triggers that increased or affected the degree and location. She consulted her homeopathic references and then offered a remedy to take immediately. This had no effect so she then tried a second remedy. Within a space of mere minutes the pain started to subside. I was giddy with relief and gratitude. I sat with her for a time after and she advised that if the pain flared again I was to resume taking the remedy drops before the pain amplified. She also made another appointment for me to obtain a higher and longer lasting potency of the specific remedy.
The neuralgia did start to reoccur sporadically over the next couple of days but the drops kept it a bay. After about four days any sense of the painful condition was just a nasty memory and I slept soundly with the remedy bottle beside my bed. It was so amazing and simple and the fact that there were no side effects was an added benefit.
I have had a few minor flare ups involving the MS in recent times but I am always sure that my first port of call is to seek out Maria and her gentle, holistic homeopathic perspective.
Forever grateful
