CURED HIS DUODENAL
By William Townshend FOR 25 years John Purr spent a “small
fortune" trying to cure his duodenal ulcer. Nearly 600,000 people suffer from this kind of complaint" in England and Wales every year.
Then he went to a cocktail party. where he heard about Dr. J. Jacques Spira, who cured 96 percent of his patients by methods directly opposite to the re- cognised ulcer treatment.
Dr Spira cured Parr in five weeks, permanently.
Strict diet
JOHN PARR found that normal treatment
consisted mainly of rest and a strict diet. When you have an ulcer your stomach fune- tions too quickly, and loctors say the best way to slow it down is to feed it fats.
savs
But that is "only the initial answer," Dr Spira. He orgues this way. It is generally believed that too much acid causes ulcers. But acid cannot do it alone,
Spirn points to bile as the villain. It starts the trouble and keeps it going with the help of acid. Eliminate the bile and you break up the deadly combination.
Fat stimulates the flow of bile into the stomach.
"The answer to the problem," says Spira, "is to eat less fat."
But he warns: "It is physically Impossible to Ive normally on a diet entirely, free of fals. Wint prescribe is a low-fat diet."
Lots of cream
For years John Parr had been doing, the opposite. He know that * strict uleer treatment consisted of living on milk andl semi-liquid foods like arrow-root farola, Jun- kel, custard, thick soup, and vegetable purce.
