Our passion

At JUST Health we believe in the benefits of an organic, whole foods, plant-based diet. For over a decade we have seen many malnourished babies and some with developmental delays overcome serious setbacks through correct dietary interventions and alternative healthcare.

Our passion is the most vulnerable, the less fortunate, the children who cannot defend themselves; the mothers who struggle with children with special needs daily, themselves suffering from adrenal fatigue and exhaustion; the fathers who have to make ends meet in a society that places heavy burdens on the breadwinner. We want to lift them up in this healing journey. We do not know it all, but we shall make adjustments to our former ‘knowledge’ as we pursue new avenues of healing.

Early interventions and a strong support system can lead to astonishing progress within limited time frames.

Children with Special Needs

JUST Health came to existence because of the need to address diet and health issues for children with special needs (autism spectrum, ADHD, neurological delays). In 2009 René Testa received abandoned twins into her home, who each weighed 1Kg at birth, were born 10 weeks prem and suffered from many delays and illnesses, such as foetal alcohol syndrome, cerebral palsy (diplegia), multiple allergies and low immunity. These babies had to be put onto a special diet with supplementation and a range of other therapeutical interventions. She happened to land up with the right people – medical doctors and therapists - who assisted her and put her onto the right tract to heal severely injured children.

Barnswallows

Barnswallows became a ‘green’ project – we started on a ‘green’ journey using only natural cleaning aids and household products in and around the Home, keeping ourselves free from chemicals as much as possible.

Although one twin passed on at the age of 5 months, the boy called Simon has been the reason for the development of Barnswallows into a therapy Centre where many children on the autistic spectrum, with ADHD and severe neurological delays/setbacks, and adults with chronic fatigue and other health issues are assisted with diet and lifestyle choices to become healthy individuals.
