Re: sciatica
Dot, most illness comes from toxicity in the human body. A life of eating the wrong foods, drinking polluted water, and other beverages, and breathing lousy air. This can all be undone. If I was you I would first start by cleansing your colon. There are several ways to do this. Also, diet is key. If you are interested, let me know and I'll explain more and give you some options.
Believe it or not, but even your appendix can be saved. It is just sending you a message that some things need to be changed. Think of it as a warning light on your dashboard. It's blinking (hurting) trying to get your attention. You can disable the light (cut out the appendix), but the underlying problem (toxicity) won't go away. Best thing to do is to listen to your body's warning signals and act accordingly.
Yes even sciatica can be a toxicity problem which causes inflammation and puts pressure on the nerve. By detoxifying, you can slowly heal all your body's current problems.
