Question 2:
My GP and specialist can' t cure my problem, and I have heard of a naturopath who seems to be very good, but my doctors have both said it is a lot of rubbish. Do you think it is wise for me to seek a second opinion from a naturopath?

I have been recommended taking a few bottles of DTM medicine, followed by five days of drinking apple juice and eating apples, then on the sixth day at 6pm taking one desertspoon full of Epsom salts in water, repeated again at 8pm. Then at 10pm take 100 mL of Olive oil mixed with 100 ml_ of lemon juice. Is this safe and does it work?

I would appreciate it if you could pass this on to your readers who may suffer from this distressing condition.
