A CHURCH organist is looking forward to a pain-free year after her crippling arthritis was cured by vinegar.

Four years on from developing the condition Sarah Gall feels daily doses of a cider vinegar concoction have transformed her life.

The 55-year-old has written a booklet to tell other sufferers about her recovery and has sold more than a thousand copies.

She said: “I felt so much better and hadn't suffered any adverse effects that it was time I told as many people as possible about it to try and help others in the same situation. I am amazed by the response, so many people have been in touch, grateful to have a chance to try and relieve or even get rid of their arthritis.”

Mrs Gall, of Rochdale, has now sold 1,300 editions of One Advance Against Arthritis.

She has also featured in newspapers and been contacted by people from across the UK as well as Portugal and New Zealand.

The mother-of-four, who is married to Alan, is back playing the organ at St Stephen and All Martyr’s Church in Darcy Lever.

Mrs Gall was in agony and virtually housebound after being struck with arthritis in 2005.

Painkillers made her ill so she looked for alternative treatment, finding cider vinegar.

She takes the natural remedy four times a day and combines it with exercise, Epsom Salt baths and a healthy diet.

Mrs Gall is looking forward to continuing to spread the word and said: “I'm hoping to reach people in the USA, Canada, Australia and other countries.

“I'm being interviewed on the radio and it would be wonderful to reach sufferers via television.”

Dr Binoj Nair, of the samedaydoctor clinic in Manchester, said: “If it works for you then great, as long as it’s not doing any harm or interacting with medication. It won’t work for most people. The important thing is to see your doctor.”
