Curing Anything

Dear Mr. Livingston,

You mentioned “neuropathy” on page eight of the September 2012 issue (of The Bob Livingston Letter™) and I am hoping that you can provide a bit more information on how you were able to cure your neuropathy in a future issue. I have one set of Dr. Fuhrman’s DVDs and I’ll order the “Forks Over Knives” this week. For years, I have been optimizing the factors of exercise, rest and nutrition but my neuropathy (The VA claims that is from exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam) continues.

Sincerely,

William M.
