Achieve the result, the rest is secondary.
As long as such person overcomes the disease free from meds imprisonment, such person achieves positive result.
My layman mind only have simple choices in fighting chronic diseases.
Firstly, focus on correct herbs and natural foods (explore, search, find, learn and use);
Secondly, the first must elevate and improve overall body health and can stop pain, reverse severity;
Thirdly, positive attitude, belief, determation, time can tell the gradual improvements, consistency in battling the disease.
Forthly, once the healthy body established the supremacy, the disease dwindles to no threat.
Good luck and emerge as winner not prisoner.
