  • I contracted glandular fever during my first year of college. I was in so much pain – swollen glands, couldn’t swallow or sleep..the list goes on. When I visited my doctor, he said that there wasn’t much he could do to help because it was a virus and it had to run its course. I decided to give Acuhealth a try after my friend’s recommendation. My quality of life improved rapidly. A treatment with Paul is always my first port-of-call as soon as I feel run down. I would recommend it to anyone!
