  • Hi, there. I'm Monica from Oslo. I wish to pass a brief message of how I had been able to overcome my rheumatoid arthritis and  Alzheimer's problems via a naturopathic methods. Before I was exposed to these natural remedies for healing both of my conditions, I had once been a victim of both of these debilitating diseases and had suffered a great deal from recurring pains in my fingers, and also as there had been a negative modification in my behavioral standards due to the dementia caused by the latter disease. My fingers were crooked and thus, it had been impossible for me to partake in any able-bodied activity. I was practically damaged by both conditions, which had also led to my prompt resignation from my job. Quitting my job was the most downhearted experience I had ever had to go through as a sufferer of these diseases, especially being a single mother. Both conditions had worsened over time - from the deformity of both hands, to the progressive impairments to my memory capacity as a result of dementia. The pharmaceutical recommendations was not favorable to me at all, and it was if the more pharmaceutical products I had depended on, the more critical the whole situation had been for me. This whole painful scenario had persisted for a very long time, until Providence had issued these natural remedies to me via the professional assistance of an African herbal practitioner by the name Dr. Harry Obiego. This herbal specialist Dr. Harry: [email protected] is responsible for my natural recovery from both conditions. After being recommended to by a friend in Western Africa to try these naturopathic methods for reversing both arthritis & Alzheimer's originated by this aforementioned healer, I had had no other choice than to give his service a trial. I was moved by sheer pity for my little daughters when I had reached out to this herbal healer for professional guidance in reversing both of my condition. I was very impressed at his knowledge in naturopathy and the hospitality he had showed in wanting to help me overcome these diseases naturally. I was thus, recommended some herbal products by this healer of which I had used for a period of time. Initially, I had thought both diseases had only gone into remission, until my finger outlines had begun to take accurate forms. Akin to my dementia, my behavioral and memory standards have improved to an excellent degree. For the sake of brevity, I am very marveled at my recent improvement and of which is why I want to use this opportunity to connect with as many sufferers from any of these conditions not to hesitate to spread this message and also try these natural remedies for an absolute recovery of any of these health conditions. I hope to use this piece of information to resuscitate hope to anyone experiencing the same ordeal and who may stumble upon this piece of message to be hopeful and reach out to this African  herbal practitioner  for more valid information regarding the subject.
