Mme Framboise Delaude treated my teenage daughter for several months, following the sudden onset of a severe gastro disorder and a protracted hospitalization which then ensued. Mme Delaude intervened after almost six months of repeated misdiagnoses and failed treatments, on the part of highy regarded medical professionals of various sorts. Indeed Mme Delaude was the first care-giver to comprehend the fundamental nature of my daughter’s illness — an exceedingly painful inability to digest most normal food — and how best to return to living a reasonably normal life in spite of this major impairment. By guiding my daughter through a careful, step-by-step process of dietary adjustment and nutritional re-adaptation, Mme Delaude was not only instrumental in rescuing my daughter from a threatening state of physical frailty, she also managed to help restore personal confidence and optimism in remarkably short order. The key was a sweeping knowledge of all things dietetic, combined with an effervescent and contagious enthusiasm for the joys of essential culinary arts. My daughter is now thriving in all aspects of her life, and has since become a brilliant culinary artist in her own right. I consider Framboise Delaude an extremely rare and gifted healer of both body and soul, and shall forever remain deeply grateful for the central role she played in restoring my daughter’s health.
