"I am now digaty yours old and ons morning, three years ago, I was taken with a hard pain in my right side. In two days I had an attack of piles (hamorrhoids), bloeding and protruding, The doctor gave me some modicine and an ointment for them which helped me some but I had to keep using them all the time. Then I changed to the P remedy; but if I did not use it every day, I would get worse. The doctor: AB said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be oporated on. this time, about a year ago, I went to Ling the S remedios.

It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months and, after that, once or twice a week.
