What our readers and members say about WDDTY

Two months ago I could barely walk more than 50 yards or stand in the queue at the Post Office. Chronic lower back pain was the problem...now, thanks to you, I ramble and cycle miles and miles without pain. - R.P., Norwich

I was told I had glaucoma and was going blind. I developed a diet and supplement programme based on your information, and two months later I had my eyes examined again, and there was no sign of glaucoma any more. - G.R., Edinburgh

My husband was given three months to live two years ago due to prostate cancer. By reading the information you provide, I contacted the right people and he started an alternative therapy. It succeeded and he was later told that he was clear of cancer. Thank you for being you. - M.R., Dyfed

Instead of suffering from asthma, unwillingly forced into the last-ditch resort of taking steroids in order to have any sort of livable life, I am virtually free of it and, to boot, have lost a surplus two stone. This is all attributable to your informative publications. - M.B., Cornwall

Recently my mother-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer. I cannot tell you how encouraging your newsletter was to the whole family...she is faring well and confident she is making the right decisions thanks to your timely advice. - J.B., Jersey

Several years ago I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis...a chance discussion put me on the track of your publication, which linked MS-type symptoms with the Pill I’d been taking. Had I listened to my GP and neurologist I would probably be in a wheelchair. Thank you for saving my life. - D.J., Norfolk
