I have been on It for about 4years now, I am better for being on it, though not a miracle cure.

Also you will need a blood test every 6 months as toxins can build up.

I will be interested as to how you get on with it.

Take care

I'm in the North west and I have my consultant in carlisle.

For treatment I go to Clatterbridge cancer hospital in Liverpool .

Uniphyllin meds are good for me.

Hope all is well with you, keep well.

Glad to hear you're feeling better.

Yes kitt I was prescribed this once when I was in hospital with pneumonia. Unfortunately I started to wake up with very puffy eyelids and the doctor said I was allergic to it so had to stop taking it. I believe it`s very good if you can take it.

Keep well, Sheila x
