Hi Hugh, my husband tried juicing for 8 days and there was no difference in his PRP symptoms. He stopped juicing and has tried to start again but it hasn't worked. He can't walk so he can't exercise. He needs some encouragement to stick to the juice fasting until he notices a difference. His symptoms are very severe so he seems to be much worse than you were. Can we get in touch with your naturopath in Nova Scotia to help us?
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda
DeleteUnfortunately, my Nova Scotia Naturopath is not taking any new patients. All I can suggest is you seek one in your area. It occurs to me that maybe he has to juice for more than 8 days (I did for 35 days), however, I can't prove that this caused my improvement and it is indeed difficult to do. As for not walking did he try the plastic bags and petroleum jelly etc. described in my blog?
