Eyesight and Migraines
A few years ago while at the optometrist I was given a visual field test and diagnosed with suspected Glaucoma, sent to a Specialist for further tests and somewhere along the way picked up an eye infection as well.
After two minor car accidents I was about to give up driving. Although trying other healing modalities with no real success, homeopathy did clear up the infection considerably but not completely. I had resigned myself to the fact I was losing my vision and had an urgency to finish my studies before that happened.
Symptoms were blurred vision, greasy feeling alternating with dryness and itching, noticeable blind spots in my right eye, print had distracting shadows and random words in paragraphs would disappear. Reading was a slow and upsetting experience. Night vision was non-existent and it was increasingly difficult to recognize friends around town. I was also suffering severe migraines roughly once a month. Another adverse condition grinding me down emotionally!
At the time I had been on course 4 weeks so many of my issues had been handled. So 9am start of class and I am feeling shocking…”Close your eyes and think about that” says John.
By 9.10 am I had easily 40% improvement in my vision all trace of the headache was gone. Not a trace of tension in my body. Quite extraordinary.
The sense of elation when I opened my eyes and looked across at John – impeccably clean shaven and groomed – smiling. Obviously noticing own blown out I was…I’ll remember every minute detail of that scene for the rest of my life.
With crisp clear vision and no more migraines there is no doubt in my mind how effective this technique is when dealing with physical ailments as well as emotional stuff.
Thank You John Avery.
Anxiety and Panic Attacks
I am writing to let you know how the session you gave me has improved my life. In the past fourteen years I have suffered from Stress, Anxiety and Panic attacks. These conditions have affected my life in many different ways. It affected my relationships with my children, my stepchildren and my wife. It also affected my social relationships; my work relationships and it diminished my chances of gaining meaningful employment, with the result that I was mainly unemployed for the greater part of the last fourteen years.
During that period I sought help from doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, groups, medication and also 7 weeks in a clinic. This seeking of help came at a great financial burden to my wife and myself. I hope this letter in some way explains how my life has changed and how grateful I feel towards you for helping me.
AT LAST NO MORE PANIC ATTACKS. NO MORE ANXIETY.

Depression and Suicide
Chronic depression bordering on suicide, brought on by a devastating loss. Excerpts from an e-mail:
‘.…the other developments are also interesting. I’m still testing out my ‘new skin’, as it were. I feel quite different and it’s still hard to describe. It’s as if I have fewer limitations all of a sudden. Missing is the sense of despair and foreboding – I no longer wake with the feeling that I want to ‘end it all’. The benefits of this change are huge. I’m able to focus on the practical aspects of my life without anxiety and fear, and don’t see every obstacle as insurmountable, as I did before. I have ‘courage’, something I’ve not had in a long, long time. There had been aspects of my life I previously avoided addressing because they caused so much pain. To be able to look at these issues dispassionately, and begin dealing with them is an empowering feeling. I’m stunned that 2 half –hour sessions have had so much impact!’

Depression
I have tried all kinds of different modalities and nothing has been quite so life changing as this. The first session was very dramatic in terms of results. I mean literally life changing. Wow! Immediately my depression was gone. I felt so much more present to the world. It was wonderful and such a relief. Old habits I could not kick are gone. Disorganization is gone. My anger is gone. I have energy, vitality and Motivation. It’s amazing.
Disabilities
I would like to thank John for his continual support to our daughter Justine. Justine is 20 years of age and has a multiple disability. Two forms of Cerebral Palsy.
Two forms of Epilepsy. Acute Sensory Integration Dysfunction. Tactile Defensiveness. Non Verbal. She has experienced a movement disorder most of her life that appears when her body is under any form of stress, hormonal changes or illness. It causes her body to shut down, where movement is impossible, body becomes rigid and her hands and feet drip sweat. She becomes very distressed, finds it hard to chew and swallow. At times it lasts for days at a time. This disorder is very terrifying for Justine and distressing for us to view. Since working with Johns “Mace Therapy” we have had no signs of this disorder for months. John and I have been working over the phone using a surrogate method. I would like to thank John for his professional knowledge and care. His support to our family is wonderful and we wish him all the best with his research and knowledge, so improvement can be experienced by others.
Depression
From a young mother who had lost a son and then a husband in tragic circumstances, she had been on anti depressants for 6 years. She wrote after a Mace Session “I feel like a new person, confident about who I am now, the depression has been lifted I feel as though I can handle anything that is out in front of me. I am a lot happier about life and living.

Drug Addiction
I am writing this letter to you to express my appreciation for helping me get through a troubled time in my life. Prior to doing a process with you I was very depressed, lacked confidence and was very lonely within myself. Whether or not I chose to admit this at the time is a different story. This process I did with you is about my usage of drugs. I really wanted to stop using drugs but did not know how. You gave me a key for myself to get me off drugs and since then I haven’t had the urge for even a sniff of the stuff. I just turned twenty and I had the most enjoyable birthday of my life with no chemical intoxication whatsoever and I feel terrific. I haven’t had any drugs in twenty days and I now know with my confidence level as high as it is I will never use chemicals again. Once again John I say thank you very much for your help in my life.’

Guilt
“I am an 87 year old woman who has harboured a guilt feeling over an incident many years ago. After having this upsetting incident handled in a nice way with a Mace Method Session, I can honestly say I am free of guilt and can now think about the incident without pain. Also I am now sleeping much better; this has given me much relief.” –

Gambling
I am writing to you to share with you the results of our sessions so far. Firstly I am relieved of a more recent addiction, that of gambling. This problem caused so many other stresses and upsets in my life and I could never understand why I continued to do the very thing that was causing so much financial hardship, guilt and grief. After only one session, that problem has disappeared. Or should I say dis–created. Over the last month so much of my life has improved enormously, I am happier, healthier and enjoying all my relationships more and even seeing people through different eyes. I realised the other day that I am even sleeping really well now and have more energy to perform my tasks during the day and I wake up with a great attitude. This technology is amazing, I am so glad that you made it available to me.’
With love, A.M.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
I wanted to give our session a few days to sink in before I wrote you to tell you the results. First thing I want to relate is that is after our session, I had the FIRST consecutive 2 night in a row sleep I have had since the incident October 2001… I want to thank you again for your most generous gesture. Your ideas are rather revolutionary and it will take a while to undo years of believing as I have, but you are definitely onto something. If you ever decide to write another book, and get this out to the mainstream, I would be honored to provide a testimonial to say speaking to me from some, what 10,000 miles away on the phone, you did for me what Halcyon (supposedly one of the strongest sleep medications on the market couldn’t) and a laundry list of strong meds couldn’t do. I slept
nightmare free for 2 nights.
I once said early in this quest that I would sell my soul for just one night without the fear and hell that I faced when I went to sleep. I guess I didn’t have to sell anything. One important thing I believe is that there are no coincidences; there is a reason for everything. I hope the reason our paths crossed is that your research will be introduced into the psychiatric community and you are given proper credit for this. You could accomplish more in a few years than has been done in the last 100, all the while saving lives. After this, I now feel qualified to finally say it……..G’ DAY JOHN. Thanks for everything.
More said,
Oct 14 of this year will be 2 years since in a dark Georgia field I fought for my life
apprehending a man that had just beaten his wife. (Since then) life has been a day-to-day
battle. Yes I have had a gun in my mouth more than once, until my police friends took all
my firearms away at my wife’s request. In a 2 year period I never slept but out of
exhaustion every 2-3 days. This was in spite of being placed on various sleep meds
including Sonata Ambient and finally Halcyon, as well as a laundry list of anti depressants,
anti- psychotics, anti what-evers….
Mr. John Mace was generous enough to call me and with one session he accomplished
what all the pills in the world could not. I slept 2 nights in a row. I once said that I would
sell my soul for just one night that wasn’t interrupted by haunting reflections of the worst
night of my life. Well, I did not have to sell anything, just have faith…
…faith because a total stranger thousands of miles away in Australia cared for just 1 cop
who cared enough to do his job. For this I will be eternally grateful…
My life has been saved by the intervention of a kind man who happens to be years ahead
of is time. I trust that some controlled studies can validate his findings.
