"I never expected to get the care that we did. Nicola was fantastic!"

When Gina, mum to two-year-old Cleo, contacted her local health visitor for help with potty training, she wasn’t sure what to expect. However, after a few visits from Nicola, a health visitor with the Trust, Gina soon realised she’d get more than she expected.


“My GP suggested I contact my health visitor” explains Gina, “because Cleo was struggling to poo on the potty. I didn’t know what to expect from Nicola, but I didn’t think we’d get anything like the one-to-one care that we did. She was fantastic."

“Potty training Cleo seemed easy at first” recalls Gina “but I soon noticed she didn’t want to do a poo on the potty. If she needed a poo, she’d become very upset - scared even - and hold it in. Once I even found her trying to push a poo back in. It was really distressing.

“Over the following few months, things got worse. Cleo wouldn’t poo for a week, ten days or more. And she developed a poor appetite as well. Our GP prescribed Movicol for constipation.

“It was a really stressful time. Cleo was upset. I was anxious. It felt like we were in a vicious circle that was never going to end. That’s when I got in touch with Nicola.

“She visited us at home and telephoned in between visits. She had lots of suggestions, many of which I hadn’t thought of, to help Cleo. She gave me ideas to help Cleo drink more. And when she was refusing her Movicol, Nicola suggested mixing it with jelly or making ice lollies with it. She recommended some useful story books too.

“Nicola was so reassuring. I became less anxious and, because of her support, I realised it would only be a matter of time before Cleo felt comfortable using her potty properly.

“It’s taken six long hard months, but we finally seem to have cracked it! I am so thankful for Nicola’s help. Parenting is tough but you don’t have to do it alone. Health visitors have so much experience of children and it’s so helpful to be able to discuss your concerns and worries with them.

“I hope Cleo carries on as she is, but it’s a comfort to know that I can call on Nicola if things don’t go to plan. She’s a lovely lady and Cleo was always delighted to see her.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicola!”

  1. I'm  Ashley, from Texas, USA. I had been in a relationship with a guy and we had unprotected sex for the first time and within a day I got a big bump on the crease of my thigh and vagina. After a few days it began to hurt more and more. I told him to take a picture of it for me, and it looked like open sores, like bugs were biting off my skin or something. So I went to the ER and they said genital herpes. I was soooo depressed. My boyfriend and I cried. He cried for me, but he had no idea he had it too. The next day, the same thing happens to him. At this point, we think I gave it to him because I was the first one to show the symptoms. The next phase I went through was depression. At this point, all I did was sleep and cry. I felt like my life was over. I knew I could never get married, I felt dirty, and worthless. I was depressed for about two months. I fought thoughts of suicide and it was a hassle to even carry out my daily tasks. So I started to wonder if there would be a remedy to this disease, which led me to going to visiting many hospitals, and nothing good came out from it, until I read a person’s testimony online that said that they were cured with the help of Dr  Harry, of this disease that the world deems incurable and tears rolled down my face. That person's testimony sparked a hope in me that led me to contact Dr Harry. So he assured us that we are going to be alright, after meeting up with the necessary requirements, he sent us a parcel and gave us an instruction guide on how to use it, which we did, after 7 days of using the medication, the herpes was totally cured. So my boyfriend and I went and got tested for every STD in the book and every single test came back NEGATIVE, we also went back to the hospital, and it was confirmed NEGATIVE. I am posting my testimony to help someone out there suffering from this disease. Do not hesitate to contact Dr. Harry via e-mail: drharryherbs@gmail.com or call him or whatsapp on +2348142350014
