I have been
using homeopathy for over 2 years now. I used to feel sleepy
throughout the day and had slow digestion. If I over exerted myself
on a long run or bike ride I would almost pass out or vomit due to
low blood sugar. I started my personal remedy that Katharina
prescribed on a weekly basis and now I take it only when the
symptoms start to return. It has helped to decrease my fatigue and
restore proper function to my digestion which helps keep my blood
sugar stable. I always keep my homeopathic first aid kit on hand,
which was very helpful when I was climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and got
severe frost bite. I used the remedies in the kit to relieve the
pain and help the tissue health. I have also used homeopathy for
altitude sickness to minimize headaches and nausea. I frequently use
arnica recommended by Katharina after intense soccer games to help
sore muscles and bruises.

Homeopathy has
been my choice of healthcare for the past 10 years. I feel good
knowing that homeopathy treats the whole person rather than the
specific illness, or symptom.
I was initially referred to Katharina Riedener, homeopathic
practitioner, after being on antidepressants for some time. I became
concerned – I didn’t like some of the side effects I was
experiencing, but was told that I would probably be on them forever.
I started my search for some help in the holistic field, and was
referred to Katharina. She had me off the antidepressant in a short
time (and, with the remedies I was given, I felt better than I had
in a long time – in fact, I felt wonderful!) I felt “like myself”
again! After that experience, I have continued to see Katharina for
any problems I may have – and have had excellent results. I don’t
feel rushed during a consultation; she really “listens” to what I
have to say about what my body is experiencing, is patient, asks
questions; and the remedies work “like Magic”!

My name is Nils
Moser, and I am a hockey player for the Regina Pats of the Western
Hockey League. In the spring of 2010, I discovered that I had been
suffering from mononucleosis, or mono. The infection took a great
toll on my body, notably the constant fatigue and difficulty
sleeping, which in turn really affected my ability to perform on the
ice. When I discovered that no antibiotics could help me overcome
this, I went to see Dr. Katharina Riedener and she helped me find a
homeopathic solution. After about 2 weeks of homeopathic treatment,
I finally began to feel like myself again. The results were
incredible! I now contact Katharina for help with any bumps,
injuries or illnesses that come my way. I would strongly recommend
homeopathic medicine for anyone who is seeking a quick and effective
solution towards recovery, regardless of what the issue is. Thank
you so much Katharina!

Our family has been using homeopathy for about 2 years with amazing
results. After a C-section, no amount of prescription meds. could
heal my body. It was the homeopathy that gave me my life back. My
husband was using 4 prescriptions for his allergy symptoms all
summer long just so he could function. After two treatments with
Katharina my husband has no more allergies, at all! No more pills,
nasal spray, eye drops. Summer time is not his enemy and neither are
cats. Last week my son got croup and with a homeopathic remedy his
croup cough lasted less then 24 hours.
We use homeopathy because it works for us. It is safe to use during
pregnancy and for small children, and results are usually immediate.

In mid February of 2000, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. I had
seen many different specialists and taken many tests but I was still
confined to my bed in extreme pain 24 hours a day for a year and a
half. The only time I would leave my house was to go see my doctor
or go to the hospital. Even with all the medication and treatments I
underwent it just wasn’t seeming to help. I decided I no longer
wanted to continue down that path. I needed to try something
different. Then I met Katharina, she put me at ease right away. She
diagnosed me and with in three days of taking my new homeopathic
medicine I was starting to feel better. After two weeks I no longer
needed the crutches that I used to get around. A year and a half
later I only take my pills once a week. I’ve even been able to go
for walks again without being in constant pain. I am feeling better
now than I have in years. Homeopathic medicine and Katharina
Riedener have given me a second chance. I am now CEO of my own
company, I have met the love of my life and best of all I have my
health back. Thank you Katharina.

I began homeopathy treatment in February 2002. At that time I was
suffering severely from Crohn's disease. I was experiencing severe
diarrhea and pain and very little energy. I was taking medication
daily which wasn't helping. After Katharina gave me her remedy and
reflexology treatments I began feeling much better. I have now
discontinued the drugs I was taking. Now after nine months I feel so
much better. My bowels are much more regular and I have lots of
energy. I am so happy to have discovered homeopathy and I would
highly recommend it to anyone experiencing chronic bowel problems.
katharina is very easy to talk to and a wonderful person and
professional.

I had a milk allergy for many years, but recently it had started
getting much worse to the point where I could not eat any dairy
product at all in any form without having a severe reaction. I was
also starting to develop other food allergies as well. Not knowing
where else to turn, though feeling somewhat skeptical I tried
Homeopathy. I wasn’t sure how effective the remedy would be and it
took me a good six months to work up enough courage to try eating
something dairy, but when I finally did I found that I had no
reaction at all anymore. In utter disbelief that it was not possible
I went on a happy little dairy splurge. I also soon found out that
my other food allergies had disappeared as well. I still can’t
believe it. I never thought it was possible to cure an allergy, but
as I saw on myself it really is possible. WOW! Thank you Katharina,
you changed my life.

I came to see Katharina when I was diagnosed with ocular rosacea. I
had been taking oral antibiotics to control this condition for 2
years. If I stopped taking them it worsened considerably and the
doctor said that I could damage my eyes if I didn’t keep taking
them. I didn’t wish to be on the antibiotics for the rest of my life
so I was looking for a ‘cure’. Katharina and I worked together for 2
years before she finally found a remedy that worked for me. That was
3 years ago. I have not taken any antibiotics since then and my eyes
are doing well. I get minor flare-ups but it is under control. I am
very pleased and relieved with our results. I do recommend
homeopathy to my friends. I believe in it.

My name is Marissa. My father is a very loyal and good western
physician. This letter is not intended to debate homoeopathy vs.
western medicine, but solely to emphasize how homeopathy could
assist western medicine to combat even more ailments.
Our family, from my father’s side, suffer from a rather unusual
allergy – a garlic allergy or intolerance if you will. It has no
life threatening symptoms but just very uncomfortable side effects
such as severe abdominal pain, nausea, and the most embarrassing
flatulence and diarrhea. I even suffered these symptoms after
smelling dishes with garlic in it. No western remedy we tried ever
prevented or treated these symptoms. Our only option was to avoid
garlic – a daunted task!
On my first visit to Dr. Katharina Riedener, this was one of my main
complaints. She prescribed a choice of homeopathic remedies to take
every three weeks and today I tolerate garlic very well. Although I
still have some mild reaction every now and then, I don’t have to
avoid it anymore.
Thank you Dr. Katharina!

Our happy, active, 8 lb Silkie Terrier, Emma, had hip surgery. Three
weeks later she developed a nasty weeping, black sooty spot on her
side about the size of a dime that was worrying her terribly. Over
the next days the hair on and around it dropped off and it became
the size of a quarter, then the size of a fifty-cent piece. She
didn’t want to eat or play. She was terribly uncomfortable and
becoming very listless and sad so on a Friday we took her to the
vet. He thought it might be Staph infection and put her on
heavy-duty antibiotics.
By Monday it looked no better to me and she was so listless she
would only get up to go outside. I actually thought she was
declining and I was very afraid she wouldn’t make it. We obviously
took her back to the vet. The lesion has changed enough that that
vet was able to confirm it wasn’t Staph but was from the bite of a
Brown Recluse spider. He pointed out the fang marks. He said there
was nothing he could give her for that and recovery would take time.
By chance, Monday afternoon our homeopath, Katharina, phoned to see
how Emma was progressing from her hip surgery. I told her the latest
problem and my fears for Emma's recovery. Katharina she said she had
something she could prescribe for her. Emma got her first remedy on
Monday evening. Tuesday morning she lifted her head from her bed and
gave a faint tail wag. I knew we had turned a corner.
Katharina phoned the next day to check on her patient and suggested
we give Emma one more dose. By Monday evening Emma was up asking for
dinner. I was amazed to see how fast the homeopathic remedy had an
effect.
I of course told my vet about the homeopathic remedy. To his credit
he was very interested to learn of something that would assist in
his practice. He got together with Katharina to learn more about her
practice. His patients will reap the benefit and I know it gave
Katharina tremendous job satisfaction to have helped Emma as well as
pass along her knowledge to another discipline. We are very grateful
for this team effort.

We would like to share a wonderful story about our dog Patch. We
arrived home one evening to find Patch with a swollen muzzle. He was
very agitated and not himself. We could not seem to see any evidence
of anything other than the swelling. We spent most of the evening
trying to comfort him. We then looked up symptoms of black widow
spider bites on the internet and discovered this is likely what had
happened to him. He was racing around the house up and down the
stairs and was losing his balance. The closest veterinarian that was
available was 45 minutes away. We felt that we did not have time to
drive him there is his condition and the car ride would have been
difficult for him. We decided to call Katharina Riedener, our
Homeopathic Doctor, who is local here in Osoyoos. Even though she
was not at her office she was able to offer a remedy for Patch. We
also had Rescue Remedy on hand and gave that to Patch which is an
awesome remedy for anxiety and easily given to any pet or human.
Then my son picked up another remedy from Katharina at her home.
Shortly after the Rescue Remedy was given Patch calmed down and
after the second remedy his symptoms lessened and his swollen muzzle
began to go down. He was comforted by the cool snow he chose to lay
on outside periodically and then was able to rest peacefully inside.
We were very appreciative of Katharina 's expertise, availability
and compassion for Patch and our family. We now have a Homeopathic
First Aid Kit with us at all times and have used it for three other
occasions. It is very simple to use and just makes so much sense.
Thank-you Katharina.
