“I can’t tell you what a difference those tablets have made to this household,” smiles Mrs Maher. “They’ve kept the disease at bay. Without them he just wouldn’t be here.”

It is always distressing to see a loved one suffering as Mrs Maher found out when she learned her father was suffering from asbestosis. About three years ago, he was taken into hospital to be diagnosed with this horrible lung condition. Mrs Maher never believed he would come out but finally he was discharged.

As she recalls: “He was in such a bad way he could not walk from the front door into the driveway. I was at my wits end as to what to do, then a friend gave me the Serrapeptase website which impressed me. My father promised to take it seriously. The results were almost immediate. This was on a Monday and by the following Saturday morning he seemed to have regained some of the confidence he had lost in hospital. I suggested giving him a lift to the local shops and he said ‘no, I am going to walk’ It took him some time but he got there.

When Mrs Maher spoke to me her father had gone down to the town centre and managed to ‘toddle round the shops’ and meet a few friends. Another benefit is that the dry flaky skin and dandruff the 74-year-old developed following continual use of a Nebulizer has also cleared up.

“I can’t tell you what a difference those tablets have made to this household,” smiles Mrs Maher. “They’ve kept the disease at bay. Without them he just wouldn’t be here.”
