Snippets from Johns Blog

Some things we had on our old website are still relevant today.

I overheard Anna (Sweet Cures partner) speaking to someone on the phone today - she was pointing out that the same illness, at the same severity of symptoms can land one person in bed for years, and be a mere inconvenience in another person's life. Anna should know - three times in her life she has been told by a doctor that she had an illness that would get steadily worse until she was totally incapacitated. Asthma was one - so she threw away her inhaler and practiced breathing exercises - and she hasn't needed an inhaler for 20 years. Benign Positional Vertigo was another - she was frequently dizzy to the point of vomiting. Imagine spinning around until you can't stand up straight - and then living like that forever - the doctor told her she would eventually become bedbound and suicidal - between us we found a cure - a simple set of exercises to rearrange the floating hairs in the inner ear - the things that cause the problem - in days it was gone, and it has now been gone for years. And cystitis - the repeat acute symptoms which the doctor said was just something Anna would have to learn to live with, and would get steadily worse. She hasn't had an episode now for about 8 years.

I am reminded of Epictetus's often quoted aphorism – ‘It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.’

Another Snippet from John's Blog...

Having visited the doctor recently for my regular 10 year check-up, and been pronounced as fit as a butcher's dog, I used the opportunity to give him a free sample of our UTItest5v urine test strips. He was impressed, and noticed right away how useful they were compared to other strips on the market because they have the specific range of tests that are dedicated to testing for urinary tract infections. The other strips on the market either have too many test elements (and that makes them confusing to use) or too few, and are thus not good indicators.

Moving on, I may have failed previously to mention that Herbapharma (our Italian distributor) has managed to get Waterfall D-Mannose approved as a 'medicine' for doctors to prescribe. In the first week they sold over 600 tubs. In the UK, doctors are already free to prescribe it, but they only do it with a private prescription, and that means basically that a patient has to go to a pharmacy who probably won't have it in stock, and have to order it, and it'll cost the customer the same as if they ordered it directly from us. In Italy, the system seems to be different - doctors stock the product themselves and if they think you need it they take it out of their cupboad and hand it to you, though you still have to pay something...

It seems like quite a good system to me.
