Doctors Couldn’t Cure me….so how could a herbalist?

 A twinge in my face made we wince, and my hand flew to my cheek. Leaning back in my chair, I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to subside. “You should go to the Doctor,” said my boyfriend Clive, 50. “I’ve been,” I groaned. “They said it’s an infection, and gave me these.” Reaching into my bag, I pulled out antibiotics. “Are they helping?” he asked. I slumped over the kitchen table and moaned. “What do you think?” I wasn’t the most energetic person in the world, at the best of times, because I was overweight at 14st 9lbs. but now I’d no energy for anything, and has suffered a stonking headache and facial paralysis for weeks. The antibiotics didn’t work either. Sop the doctor sent me for an MRI scan. But that came back clear. “what’s wrong with me?” I asked my consultant. He shrugged, baffled.
Even the professionals didn’t know.

My mum sarah, 61, had an idea, though… “you should see Philip Weeks,” she said. “Philip?” I replied. “You mean the herbalist you see for every ache and pain?” “hes brilliant,” she insisted. A stab of pain shot through my head. “okay,” I said “anything’s worth a try.”
After all, what did I have to lose?
Arriving at Philips clinic, I handed over the two-weeks food diary had asked me to keep whilst he hooked me up to a funny looking machine. “it sends electric pulses around your body,” he explained. “it will help me figure out what’s going on.” I smiled nervously. Afterwards he stared at the results and looked at me. “its just your diet,” he said. “excuse me?” I asked. “you have food intolerances,” he said. “to wheat, dairy and sugar.” “so…what now?” “stop eating the and youll be fine,” he said. “I’ll give you a new food plan.”
Come on, it couldn’t be that simple?
Id been suffering for months, even doctors had know idea what was wrong. Still, I stuck to Philips diet, even if it was just to prove everyone wrong, and ate plenty of fruit and veg. three months later...

The pain and twitches had disappeared!
I felt fantastic. “Unbelievable,” I laughed. “a herbalist cured me when doctors couldn’t!” Not only that, my new eating habits helped my shift 5st, going from a size 20 to a size 12! Philips methods might be unconventional, but he’s given me food for thought.
