wddtyaunzFree-from and
formaldehyde
Dear WDDTY Thanks for your
article on the hidden dangers
of ‘free-from’ foods (March
2019 UK edition). I wish the
supermarkets would put ‘gluten-
free’ over the meat, fish, fruit and
vegetables!
Plenty of whole foods are
gluten-free. But the term has
become medicalised and leaves
people confused.
I know from the problems of
a friend of mine—if it isn’t in a
package with ‘gluten-free’ on the
front, she is scared to eat it.
Also, I am glad you have raised
the issue of formaldehyde and
cancer (Healthy Home, WDDTY
May 2019 UK edition). I was
exposed to it in the 1990s during
renovations at work with MDF
board. My throat has been
affected, and I often lose my voice.
No one would listen to my
comments about clearing up
all the dust and the effects of a
hot sun on a new carpet through
a glass roof.
My son was at the RSA studying
furniture design, and they were
warned about the dangers of
volatile organic compounds like
formaldehyde.
I passed this on to my bosses
with no effect. I tried to take it up
with a lawyer, but they wouldn’t
take it on.
This is a very important subject
for people’s health. Thanks for all
you do in raising awareness.

Dear WDDTY I survived
breast cancer with the help
of information in WDDTY’s
UK edition. I’ve been well for
11 years now. I had surgery
and radiotherapy, but ran
away from conventional
medicine after that.
Complicating things was
to discover at the age of 54, seven
years after my breast surgery,
that I had hemachromatosis, an
overload of iron in the body thatcan cause mental confusion,
mood swings and depression.
Before this diagnosis, I was
told I had a mood disorder, at
the age of 28, and forced on
vile medications every time I
became distressed.
It wasn’t until I hit menopause
that the hemachromatosis
came to light. Unfortunately, I
can’t get back all the years I was
stigmatized and isolated due to
the label of mental illness.
But information is power, and I
continue to bounce back with the
help of your magazine. Thanks a
million.

Dear WDDTY I’ve suffered from
various illnesses over the years
and not found any solutions in
conventional medicine. But there
are three natural remedies that
have worked for me, and I’d like to
share them with you.The first is a German product
called Uralyt-U granules, which
got rid of my gout when I was in
my twenties.
First developed for kidney
stones, the product contains basic
salts that dissolve uric acid. I’ve
been taking it for over 50 years
now, and no more gout!
The second remedy I
discovered at around the age
of 50, after 10 years of suffering
with painful joints when walking
or using my thumbs. After one
month of taking the remedy—
gelatin—I had no more pain.
A few years later, though, I
developed arthritis, and I read
in a publication that the spice
turmeric could help.
I found a product called
CucuDyn, which contains a highly
bioavailable form of curcumin,
the active compound in turmeric,
as well as ginger extract and
vitamins D and C. After a while of
taking the pills, the pain was gone.
All the remedies are available to
buy online.

Dear WDDTY I just wanted to
get in touch to share my positive
experience with Vitex agnus
castus, recommended in the
Q&A on PMS in the May issue of
WDDTY UK. I was prescribed it
by a naturopath as I was suffering
from irregular cycles and
hormonal acne.
It tastes disgusting, but after
four months of taking it every
morning in a glass of water, my
cycles are much better, and my
skin has improved.
