I just wanted to write and let you know that the Allergy & Sinus Relief (Synergy Blend) has helped me so much. When I was in your store my nose was running and I told the lady (can't remember her name, she was the one who made this blend) that if my nose stopped running because I smelled the blend, while my friend and I were walking around I'd go back and buy it, and I'm so glad I did. I also bought the Aromatherapy Inhaler. I am back in AZ now and I have not had to use my nose spray since I've been inhaling the Allergy & Sinus Relief - it's amazing, and I thought you might like to hear a success story.
Again, thank you!

Claudia,
I am using the blue magic out of the sampler kit I received last saturday. Although I don't remember it often
enough; when I do use it I am amazed at the depth and speed it helps relieve the pain I have lived with for so
long. Along with fibromylagia I have a few long standing bone and joint injuries. A couple nights I've woken with
pain at bone/joint sites and have applied the lotion as much as three times in the night. I am finding the more
I keep on top of it the more thorough pain relief I have. Although I'm not pain free I can honestly say I am
experiencing a reduction of 40/50 maybe 60% overall in the pain level I have been caring. I thank God for leading
me to your products. May he bless your endeavors for helping others.

I am so excited to have finally hunted down your product! I have tried quite a few pheromone products and NONE have the effect that yours did. When I first put it on, my boyfriend came home from
work and said "Are you wearing some kind of special
perfume? Because I feel drunk whenever you get near
me." He was totally sober, and I kept my little secret. :)

Claudia,
I recently talked to you about your products on the phone. I recently went to McGinnis
Cattle and Guest Ranch in Libby Montana. My rheumatologist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia about
2 years ago. Needless to say at the ranch I ended up in much pain and wasn't sure if I could
ride after the first 2 days of my vacation. A guest at the ranch gave me a bottle of your muscle
relief (her sister has fibromyalgia) and said it was mine to keep. I used it and was able to
ride again. God does direct our steps. Thank you for your wonderful product. I carry it with me
to work too.
Sincerely,

Hi Claudia:
You are more than welcome to use any of my comments about your products.
Like I tell everyone, I just can't stay quiet about them. I "blab" to
everyone I see about how great they are, how I have used them, and how
others have and their results. I am always looking for a "test subject" for
a certain product so that I can relay their results to others. I also
remind them that everyone is different so products may not act the same with
them or they may get better results with one product as apposed to another.
The fun is finding out what works best for them.
I had great results with the "It hurts..." where my frozen shoulder is
concerned. My orthopedic specialist said that the norm is 12-18 months worth
of recovery and I was released from physical therapy in 9 mos. I had
regained all the degrees of motion that a normal shoulder has. I am still a
bit tight with the movement when my hands are on my hips. My elbow on my
left side, the side with the frozen shoulder, is only about 10 degrees
farther back than my right side. This is not very much so putting on lotion
and exercising will take care of this. I can now reach my arm up my back
the same as my right side with very little trouble. I only have to work on
strengthening the muscles.
My husband, Leo, has had good results with Muscle Relief and "It hurts..."
for his back pain and also leg pain. With his three back surgeries, there
is nothing else the doctors can do to help his pain which is due main from
scar tissue. Medicines do nothing but cause trouble or just don't work.
This left nothing to help him with is pain management. He has days which
cause excruciating pain where he can't walk, lie down, sit up or anything.
In fact, he just had a day such as this two days ago. The lotions were able
to get him back on his feet again in less than 8 hours. His pain had not
gone away completely, but this didn't surprise me much. It will take some
time for his back to mend itself more. I was grateful to finally find
something that would work for him. He is much happier when he doesn't hurt.
I had a client try the Menstrual Cramp Relief over the weekend. She was
amazed at how it helped with the cramps. The first application she did
lasted nearly 4 hours. The next one lasted her for almost 20 hours.
Another client came to my shop suffering from watery eyes, stuffy nose and
coughing. I gave her a sample of the Sinus and Allergy Relief on a tissue.
After visiting for a half an hour, her symptoms had greatly improved. I had
just gotten in the Sinus and Allergy Relief so I only had a sample. She
wanted it so bad she bought my sample bottle!
These are just a few of the stories I have time for now. I will send more
soon.
Thanks again for all these great products! I am grateful that you were able
to come up with them even if it meant that it was due to necessity.

Thanks for your prompt response, Claudia. It was one of my associates
who recently discovered your products and has been using them
enthusiastically. She gave me a massage one day with the "Hurts Everywhere"
lotion and it was the first time in years that I got off the table without
stiffness (I, too, have a history of fibromyalgia). I thought that was pretty
remarkable. She generously (however somewhat reluctantly) sold me on of her
precious bottles and I have several clients who are now ... feeling good too!

Claudia,
I had ordered the Myofascial Release Relief for my massage therapist to use
on my very tight upper back muscles. She loves it! It works very well for deep tissue
massage. It helps me relax more while she's using it because of the aromatherapy qualities.
I had also ordered the sample pack of the 'Basic 5' relief lotions. Both my mom & I are
using them. She is using the Inflammation Relief with Blue Magic on her arthritic finger &
knees. I am using the Muscle & It Hurts Everywhere on my sore feet after I started wearing
my orthotics again. Patrick gets stress headaches, so I use the Stress/Headache relief on
him. They all work!!! The aroma part of the therapy is wonderful, too!
I must tell you when we talked after I got home from work after emailing you about
the cost of the Myofascial product, I felt like we'd known each other for years.
You are very kind & personable on the phone. I also knew that you know from whence you
speak. I think it's the basis of dealing with chronic problems that forges that common
ground with your customers. I am placing another order for the lotions in larger sizes.
Thanks so much!
Patrick & Christine Osburn
Thank you for offering such wonderful products! I am a massage
therapist and
I see great results from muscular problems when I use your products!

Claudia,
I met you a few years ago in Seattle at the Fibromyalgia
Convention. I gave my mom some of the hurts everywhere lotion and
it is the best she has ever used. She is 89 and has osteoporosis
arthritis. She has had 2 hips replaced and 1 knee and can
barely get around with a walker. Just wanted you to know she
gets more relief from your lotion than from her vioxx medication.
Thanks,

Dear Claudia,
Thank you for developing this outstanding product line. I am particularly
impressed with the "Myofascial Relief Release"?which I use all the
time. It enhances my work in the treatment of soft tissue dysfunction
by enabling me to control the speed and depth of my touch. While
the essential oils contribute by warming and soothing the tissue
a slow deep release is facilitated?ah!!
Many blessings,
Anna Risso, CMT

Dear Claudia,
I love your products! I can't believe you aren't a massage therapist.
I have never used anything as effective as your Myofascial Release
Relief - it is perfect for deep tissue work - it's almost like glue
-- even my clients began commenting that my massages felt deeper
& more effective when I began using it - and I never told any
of them I had begun using a new product; but they noticed how much
better my massages were.
Then I tried all of your lotion products - I didn't expect to like
them as I have been an Arnica oil user for years & never found
anything as effective - I still love Arnica but each of the lotions
is really different, something I didn't expect - I also could feel
a vital energy emanating from them as I used them - I have had nothing
but positive feedback from my clients who say things like "ooh I
like the cool comforting feeling"?"ah, that warmth feels great"?"it
feels tingly"?and mostly they say, "the pain has disappeared!" -
keep on making your wonderful products - you have a customer for
life!

I bought your sample pack last week at ECC (Edmonds Community College,
WA). My husband is on interferon treatment for Hep C His calves
and feet were cramping so bad last Wed. that he could hardly walk.
I used the muscle relief on him and at bed the blue magic. The next
morning the pain and spasms were almost completely gone.
Thank You.
Marti
(a few weeks later)
Claudia,
It's Marti the massage therapist with the husband undergoing the
interferon treatment for hept. C. I was wondering is the blue magic
available in a quart or gallon size? Also I am giving his Dr. some
of your pamphlets. At my husbands 1 month check up he told them
about your products working on the severe leg pain and spasms. We
also gave a sample container to a friend who just started the treatment,
it is working for him too. I am asking about the larger sizes so
I can use them in my practice and have some small samples.
Thank you,
Marti
Claudia,
I am the woman from Startup, who purchased the 4 perfumes (Perfume
Oils of "Purpose"; Courage, Rose, Moving Forward, and Becoming One),
in addition to several of your other products.
On my way home from Stonehouse [store] I stopped at the Monroe
Starbucks, where I noticed a woman who was once a business owner
in the community. I observed that she was wearing a headscarf tied
in a way that might indicate ongoing chemotherapy. Since she was
not alone (and we were first name only acquaintances), I smiled
a hello and left the store.
As I was driving back to Startup I started to have the nagging
thought that the lovely perfume purchase may not really be intended
for me. By the time I arrived home I knew that I needed to return
to Monroe to find the true owner.
I caught her just as she was leaving Starbucks. I explained that
the bottles were really hers - I was merely the conduit. Yes, she
is battling breast cancer, and very much appreciated your lovely
creations.
Thanks,
Karyn Fisher
Claudia,
I want to thank you for the improvement in the quality of my life.
I have been battling a variety of symptoms for 15 years, including
insomnia, anxiety, constipation, weight gain, and headaches, as
a result of an accident in which I broke the tips of my atlas and
axis bones in my neck. This resulted in the compression of the bones
against the nerves and blood supply.
I have spent more than 150 thousand dollars looking for pain relief.
I finally found a massage therapist in Wenatchee that has helped
me maintain and gain ground. This past Spring I attended a convention
of health practioners and found the O'Malley & Potter "Feel-Good"
products, lotions and synergies that are made with essential oils.
I purchased several products and they have all helped my symptoms.
My allergies are better, I have improved sleep, the tight muscles
in my neck and back have relaxed. My blood pressure, heart rate
and over-all comfort are the closed to normal in fifteen years.
I also purchased some "Menopause" products for my wife - two uncomfortable
people in the same house is at least one too many! We laugh more,
smile, and actually enjoy each other again!
My massage therapist is using the products on her clients. She
says the quality is high and the improvements are significant.
Thank you for all your research and work that went into the products.
Sincerely,
John E. Green

Hi Claudia,
In the summer of 2000 I broke out in shingles. It is
a reoccurrence of the virus that causes chicken pox, but it hits
only one nerve in the body. In my case, I broke out from behind
my right shoulder blade, down my right arm, all the way to my fingertips
in a rash, not only painful but also very itchy. The only thing
that would stop the itching was the O'Malley & Potter Eczema
& Itch Relief! I put it on the rash full strength as it comes
out of the bottle, and it stopped the discomfort for up to 2 hours!
This was the only thing that worked!
I use this same product for my hubby, to help him with the discomforts
of psoriasis. Because I use it on him every night and use it over
a large part of his body - he's a big guy!), I mix it into an all-vegetable,
non-petroleum-based lotion (half Eczema & Itch and half lotion).
It keeps him from itching himself ALL night, and helps us to both
get a good night's sleep.
Thanks,
Vivian Taylor

I bought some of your products when I went to the NW to visit my
sister, and I've been sharing it with friends here at home?they
said "WOW"!
I work in the video library of our public school -
Pre K through grade 12, under one roof in a complex that covers
over 7 acres. There are about 600 students and 60 teachers.
Your stress relief products are a true life saver for
me. I share with everyone. The librarian had great relief from her
migraine headache, and without the "hung-over" feeling most medications
leave. One of the teacher's husband farms. She ordered the Eczema
and Itch Relief for him to use for the rash on his feet. They are
healed and he doesn't have to stop the tractor every time his feet
itch.
My daughter has had eczema on her hands for 15 years.
Your oil is the first treatment we have found that works. My husband
also uses the oil on his feet to control heat rash. What a relief
not to have the "scratch-scratch-scratch" all night!
I hope to see you again at another fair in the NW,
if I can get all my projects done in the next two months. Thank
goodness for your "It Hurts Everywhere" Relief for my do-everything-projects.

Hello Claudia,
It was good to talk to you at the show. I read your brochure and
am using your aromatherapy. Your product is fabulous and your description
of the "therapy" is so right on.
See you next show?

Hi Sister,
Thank YOU for your lotions! I'm coming off prednisone
(day 2) and I HURT EVERYWHERE! I had Gordy slather "It Hurts Everywhere"
Relief all over the backside of me and around my ribs. I did the
rest. Within 15 minutes the panic attack dissolved, I was breathing
well, and able to proceed with putting on "the body" for another
day.
I thought you'd like to know?
Love you!

(Patricia Neufeld - my very own dearest sister who has fibromyalgia
and COPD)
It Hurts Everywhere is my favorite O'&P FGP lotion. Because I always hurt everywhere, I sometimes apply "..It Hurts..." everywhere I can reach. Within five minutes the pain begins to lift. Sometime in certain places of my body, it is relief of short duration and then I will use one of your other blessed lotions. I have been using these products since you first began to manufacture them. They were so very helpful to me then and they continue to give me the best of all forms of relief!
Pat, Orting WA
Here are parts from a several-page letter I got from one of my
first customers a few years ago. She was under stress from work
and marriage, and was suffering from headaches, lack of sleep, and
depression. On top of all of this, she developed wrist pain at work,
which carried over to everyday activities such as "opening jars,
picking up items, and doing simple chores such as chopping vegetables."
She began to take more and more medications and started
to withdraw from her family and friends. "The stress caused me to
eat more and I put on weight. I had to give up golf due to the wrist
pain. My body began to hurt everywhere and I felt like one big gigantic
bruise."
Finally she received some information about fibromyalgia
and took this information to her doctor, who found that indeed,
she did have this puzzling syndrome. Now, at least she had a name
for it, and she began to fight back.
A friend suggested one day that they go to the Sunday
Market. "My wrists hurt so bad that day I couldn't even hold my
purse. I talked to Claudia about it, and she suggested two of the
lotions. I used them every hour that entire day and the next day.
Unbelievably, my wrist pain started to subside. I was so amazed!
I continued to use the lotion daily until the pain was completely
gone. Then I found I could just use it whenever I felt my wrists
starting to act up. This propelled me into further action."
She began to exercise, sought marriage counseling,
cut her work time and increased her days off. She also "discovered
SOMA massage, recommended the lotions to the therapist, who in turn,
encourages her patients to try these amazing products."
"I have done a lot of different things toward my own
wellness. I continue with the SOMA massage, I exercise, take the
herbal supplements that seem to work for me, and I have my "Feel-Good"
Products close at hand. As I think back over the last two years,
I feel proud of myself for taking action to help myself instead
of complaining, and I am thankful for people like Claudia and Louisa
(my massage therapist) and all my friends and family who were there
for me."

I've enjoyed using your products since I met you at the Body, Mind & Spirit Expo in Seattle - Great products -Thanks.....Your products have made a difference in how I feel - I took them on a spiritual training program that I went to in Sedona for 6 days and every morning and night I applied the lotions to areas on my low back which I believe assisted in the healing of a muscle tear. I had gone to a chiropractor and message therapist before I left stating they felt it was a tear. It heeled in about eight weeks with your lotion as well as energy work that was performed in Sedona and the work with my chiropractor and message therapist - I had a bit of help!
Will send in another order next month.

Because of my lung disease and fibromyalgia (now that's a pair to draw to!), I can wind up with really painful and immobile neck, shoulders, arms, and hands. I give thanks daily for you and your O'Malley & Potter Feel Good Products. I know it doesn't seem possible but it is true that within minutes of applying Inflamation Relief, I experience a relaxation and cooling to those joints and especially the ever-so-tender muscles in my neck, shoulders, arms, and hands. This relief is such a gift to me and I want to most sincerely let you know that you are sooooooooooo appreciated!
Pat, Orting WA
A friend of my husbands had fibromyalgia, and she says that using your lotion has helped her be symptom FREE!!!
I was diagnosed in May of this year.
