A few years ago my 6 month old daughter had an ear infection, I took her to the Doctor who confirmed this and gave me antibiotics for her to take.
My partner insisted we take her to Colour Therapy which we did, 20 minutes later she was a different child – happy, chatty, eating, drinking – she finished her treatment (couple of hours) and has never had another ear infection. We have continued to use Colour for our family and our daughter now – when she starts to feel unwell (not very often) tells us that she needs colour – we have NEVER had a requirement to take her back to the doctor again.

After a long period (many years) of not knowing why I was feeling so low and tired all the time and not getting the answers from the medical world, I was introduces to Colour therapy.
I learned I had Chronic Fatigue (which to be honest did not surprise me) – I completed the necessary treatment and felt incredibly better, I have continued to use Colour and have been a loyal customer for at least the past 6 yrs.
I have not had a reoccurrence of Chronic Fatigue since my treatment.

Anne and Jim, you asked me a long time ago to write down what I had been through. At the time I really just couldn’t do it. But today I can and I really hope this helps other people not fall into the traps that the medical profession put in front of them when dealing with a cancer diagnosis (or just about any illness for that matter).
On 17 September 2002 my second child Ethan was born. Our eldest boy, Declan was two at the time. After Ethan’s birth all was going great apart from some stabbing type headaches which I really didn’t think anything of. On the Tuesday night after Labour weekend everything changed when I woke up my husband, Dylan, by having a seizure in the middle of the night (which to this day I have no memory of). So off we went to the doctor in the morning (typically of Dylan there is no panic or rushing involved) and were immediately sent to Middlemore hospital.
After several days and lots of prodding and poking to decide whether I had had a stroke, they ordered an MRI of my brain which showed a small growth about the size of my little finger nail. I then got referred to Neurosurgery at Auckland Hospital and told a biopsy would be done. It was then a matter of going home to wait. I suppose the up side of this was that I had time to ride the horses, at least when I had someone around to look after the boys.
By the end of November I was being my usual impatient self and had started to hassle the hospital for a surgery date, which I was finally advised was the 14th of February
The weekend before surgery I went on endurance rides with my horse on both Saturday, and Sunday. The usual questions from the anaesthetist to my neighbour in the next bed “Can you walk a kilometre?” “Do you smoke?” Then he gets to me and promptly gets told that I had been on two 25km endurance rides on my horse plus the distance to and from the neighbours’ farm on the weekend, so he never even asked if I smoke (which I do) or anything else for that matter.
By the time we got to surgery the tumour had grown to golf ball size so rather than a biopsy it was decided to remove as much of the tumour as was visible. Samples were sent to the US for pathology. Again it was go home and wait for my wound to heal so I could start radiotherapy treatment. Luckily for me the removal of the tumour only affected the peripheral vision in my right eye.
Soon after arriving home I developed a headache I just couldn’t get rid of and on the night of the 22nd of February we had to dash back to Auckland Hospital as my wound had started to ooze. An infection was suspected and samples were sent off to the lab to find out what it was.
It turned out to be Salmonella (apparently the same strain Ethan had previously has while we were in Middlemore) so our chickens got the blame. Unfortunately a scan showed that the infected matter had gotten on to the bone flap from the surgery and it was going to have to be removed.
So yet more surgery to clean it out and remove the bone flap and onto IV antibiotics for two weeks in hospital and a scrum cap to wear in case I fell or banged my head. And when would a plate be put in? In about six months, just great!
So while the infection was being treated the results came back from pathology. My tumour was a gliobastoma multiforme the nastiest of the nasties.
Okay, what do we do now? What treatment is available? FULL BLOWN PANIC!!!
And the prognosis is...... I have six to nine months to live, or so they told me, but Dylan was told three to six. So I’m supposed take this lying down?? NO WAY!! My boys need me! There’s no way Dylan can cope on his own with the boys! I’m not finishing my life wearing a scum cap! All of this is flashing through my head. Along with a million other thoughts.
Treatment is radiotherapy 35 doses, seven weeks away from the kids, they’re so little but is seems I have no choice I have to do something as doing nothing is not an option. There is (at that time) no chemo that can effectively pass through the blood brain barrier, but I wouldn’t have taken it anyway after watching my cousin die of cancer when I was thirteen and what she went through.
So off we go for radiotherapy, seven weeks at Domain Lodge (only home on the weekends), a seriously burnt head, hair falling out all over the place and tired all the time. I hated being in town, I wanted to go home. We kept getting told there will be more help available if were closer to town so we moved from Onewhero to Hunua straight after the last radiotherapy treatment.
In at Domain Lodge I met some really neat people, unfortunately most believed their doctors and took the traditional route and have now passed on. However, one day I was told about this place in Cambridge that did Liley Colour Therapy. I had been going to Neurolink in Greenlane but I wasn’t really seeing any real results for the $150 I was being charged per session so I decided I’d ring Cambridge and see what they had to say. As it happened they told me that there had been a clinic recently opened in Manukau, which was going to be much easier for me to get to since I wasn’t allowed to drive.
So we went to see Anne and Jim Longmuir who said they could help. I spent two full weeks in the clinic initially and was starting to feel better. After that I went back to Neurolink, he couldn’t figure out how I had had such a huge improvement in such a short space of time, at which point I decided colour was the way to go and have never looked back. When I started with colour therapy I was going once a week and gradually this extended out to once every two to three months.
It took three years of clear scans and an expensive neurologist’s visit to get my driver’s licence back.
Now, almost seven years on, having had clear annual MRIs for the last few years, the oncologists and my neuro surgeon believe that the tumour is recurring. This is based on the changes they have seen over the last nine months, and we are back to the original diagnosis/prognosis.
All I can say is what a crock. There has not been a biopsy done so they are simply guessing. After hearing their opinion, Dylan and I went straight off to see Anne and Jim. I had been thinking that whatever was going on was as a result of the radiotherapy that I had. This is Anne and Jim’s conclusion as well.
So some new colours have been made for me and I started treatment straight away. I did three hours treatment that night after we arrived home and the next morning there was already a noticeable improvement in my peripheral vision.
Since this started Dylan and the boys have all been treated with colour when they got sick and still are - along with my extended family, friends and other converts. Whilst colour can’t fix everything the boys haven’t needed to see a doctor for close to five years now, apart from Ethan’s broken leg. Any of the flu’s, tummy bugs etc they get are dealt with by colour, and they just don’t seem to get sick as often as other kids, and if they do get sick it is all over really fast.
If you need any proof that this works just be in the Anne and Jim’s clinic when a sick child comes in and see how fast they get better. The best advice I can give is to: avoid radiotherapy like the plague. If I knew then what I know now I wouldn’t have had it. While I don’t have personal experience of chemo I suggest you don’t touch it when colour therapy is a serious option - without the side effects. I certainly won’t be.
As for the rest: Stay Positive. Ban anyone negative from your life - be they friends, family or doctors. I changed oncologists because the first one I had was really negative. The oncologist I have now still believes chemo is the best thing but at least she has a sense of humour.
Avoid the flavoured snack foods other than plain salted as they all seem to contain MSG (if it isn’t bad for us why do they hide it behind numbers, 600 series, or list it as” natural flavourings”). Check all your foods for colourings and artificial sweeteners – sugar is a better option here. Get stuck into fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid all the processed foods and meats and make sure you drink at least two litres of pure untreated water a day. This has made a huge difference to me.
If anyone wants to talk to me or email me feel free. Please contact Anne and Jim for my contact details. Just be aware that I don’t necessarily check my emails every day, just too busy living and enjoying myself.
All the best

In August 2008 my horse was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in his right eye. The vets did a biopsy and removed what they could, but advised that they couldn't get it all and I would have to have his eye removed if it got any worse. I tried a few natural remedies, but his eye deteriorated rapidly. By November/December I was faced with the decision of having his eye removed if I wanted to keep him alive.
During this period I was introduced to Jim and Anne. We started off by placing a coil in his paddock, but his eye had deteriorated so much it wasn't strong enough to have an effect (as seen in the photo). Jim and Anne then introduced me to Jacki, a vet who uses colour therapy, I took Yosser to Jacki for her opinion as I knew conventional vets wouldn't be open to this alternative method. She also believed his eye was too damaged by this stage, but as a last ditch effort advised me to attach him to a colour therapy machine for two hours a day, for two weeks, to see if there was any improvement. If not, then she agreed his eye would need to come out.
Thankfully the machine worked and I saw a dramatic change within a few days which gave me the incentive to keep going. It took three weeks of two hours a day on the machine. Now I just have the coil in his paddock and swap the settings between his "Yosser Special" and "Auto Immune". His eye is looking fantastic and fingers crossed it will stay that way.
I am eternally grateful for all the people involved in pointing me in Jim and Anne's direction and to have found a vet that is open to alternative methods before racing to operate.

Dear Jim and Anne,
In 2005 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma bone marrow cancer.
A friend of mine who had lymphoma cancer urged me to contact the Colour Therapy Clinic as the colour therapy treatment that he undertook cured him of his cancer. Subsequently I contacted the clinic and commenced treatment the following month.
I have now been receiving regular treatment for two years. As a result, my blood tests now show no sign of the cancer and my haematologist is amazed at my continually positive results. He has extended my monitoring from one month to three months!
Unfortunately, the medical profession will only accept conventional treatment but I and others are living proof that colour therapy does work and I'm forever grateful for the opportunity to have been treated by Anne and Jim.
I would not hesitate to recommend the Colour Therapy Clinic for consultation and treatment not only the cancer but all other elements.
Yours faithfully,
Charles, from Titirangi
Milo, a five day old goat from Waiau Pa, was taken to Jim and Anne's clinic last year. The young animal was quite lifeless and suffering from toxoplasmosis. She had no energy and an eye infection.
After the second treatment at the Colour Therapy Manukau Clinic, Milo was bouncing around, playing with the children on the lawn there.
Milo and his owner, Joshua, went on to win a first in leading and a second in calling at the Waiau Pa School Pet Day in October.
Forty years ago I was suffering from migraine three or four times a week. I heard about colour therapy and after attending a clinic, I did not have a migraine for nine months.
I heard people there saying how they had been helped with cancer (some had been told they had only months to live) so when I developed cancer of the throat in an early stage. I went to Colour. That was five years ago and I am now in very good health. No sign of it at all!
Then some years ago I developed arthritis in my knees. Ten years ago I was thinking of wheel chairs and ramps for my future. But Colour has helped here, too. I now have only a little occasional pain and can walk quite well, up to about ¼ kilometers without pain.
So I am very grateful to my good Colour Therapists Anne and Jim

I am 63 years old having suffered migraines from the age of seven and ‘very severe’ gout from the age of 35 years old, and severe pain in my arms unable at time to dress myself.
Thanks to colour therapy these painful afflictions have all gone.
Thank you Anne and Jim

We are so excited and thrilled. – if it can do this in four weeks, what can it do in the next few weeks? A huge 'thank you' to each of you for your help, it is so appreciated by us both.

At the age of 19yrs old my (now) husband started losing sight in both his eyes. We went to numerous people for testing:
- Doctors
- Optometrists
- Specialists
- Neurosurgeons
- Had MRI and CAT Scans done
- Had blood tests sent off to Australia and London to no avail. No one seemed to know why John’s eyesight was disappearing.
He then went blind in one eye and eventually his eyesight got so bad he could not drive or work and I had to shave him and care for him.
With no answers we decided to look outside the norm. First of all we went to Naturopaths and then to a Chinese Doctor. These people did help a bit and with a change of diet and with John giving up any alcohol etc his sight stagnated.
Finally the "Doctors" came back with some results after a couple of years. What they said John had washereditary passed down from his mothers side. (Lebers Hereditary Optic Neuropathy) This disease that John had would cause blindness in both eyes, brain damage and then possible death. They did not have any cure for him.
We found out about Colour Therapy through a family friend and decided to give it a go. John packed his bags and spent 3mths down in Cambridge staying with family and getting treatment. This continued for about 4years, on and off going there on some weekends after his initial 3 month stay.
What happened was amazing. Not only did his eyesight slowly return, his overall health improved.
John has just celebrated his 32nd birthday. He holds a current drivers license and has excellent health, He has been getting colour treatment for nearly 12years and for the past 4 years he ahs been going for half days every other Saturday for a top up. Sometimes John can go for a month with out having to get treatment. He has traveled the world (for 4 years) using a portable colour machine and going into the clinic for top ups when he was back in NZ.
He still has some eyesight problems (can’t drive at night) but from where he was 12 years ago to today it is amazing.
If it hadn’t been for Colour Therapy I would hate to think what would have happened.
....
After finding out that Johns condition is only passed from mother to son and could not be passed on by John, we decided to plan for a baby.
In June 2006 I conceived straight away, we were so happy that it happened so quickly. I went on to miscarry at 7 weeks.
We tried again and conceived about 7 months after out first miscarriage. This pregnancy lasted until 11 weeks and I miscarried again.
After going into hospital to have a D and C operation and all the emotional pressure that we had both been through I sought the help and expertise of a Fertility Specialist.
During all this time I had been going to Colour nearly every second weekend for a top-up. I was a young and very healthy person, no one knew why I kept on having trouble.
The Specialist also did tests and found me to be very healthy. He said to keep "trying" and to come back in 3 mths if I wasn’t pregnant.
I fell pregnant 3 months later. Only to miscarry again at 7weeks. This was not getting easy, there must be a reason why I couldn’t go full term.
Jim and Anne did some testing on me and made up a special "fertility" colour. I totally changed my diet and gave up alcohol, caffeine, bad food etc. I actually was a healthy eater anyway but decided that I needed to go all the way in being as healthy as I could. I gave up wearing a watch, my boss downsized my work load, I went for many walks and had a lot of "me" time, I bought a Biopro and a NuMe pendant to help with EMF waves as well. I was willing to try anything.
After using this colour for 2 months, I conceived last November and am now 21 weeks pregnant and the baby is healthy. The "fertility hold" colour that Anne and Jim made for me definitely in my mind played a major role in the success of the pregnancy. It would only come up during certain time in my monthly cycle and I would clear it in a day. Having them there on a weekly basis to check on me and test my colours kept me in tune with my body and helped me emotionally.
