The bar that gave me my life back
Abstract
“The biggest difference is with the physical symptoms. When I was 18 I was playing on the wing for our school first 15 at rugby yet finished 164 th in the cross-country run! Even then I had a reputation for a lack of stamina. This gradually worsened over the next decade and by the time I was 28 I would become very unwell when doing sport, coughing up large amounts of white phlegm, unable to breath, my heart pounding and feeling like I would pass out.”—Dr. Charles Smith.
