Plant Juice and this man prevailed on
me TO try il and did so. | can say that
/ got the same fine results from Plant
Juice because | haven't had a single
attack of indigestion since. My bowels
are regular; ] have fine appetite and
enjoy my meals and my liver is working
right so that ] do not have those bilious
attacks or terrible headaches. ] also
sleep good and am improved generally.
"My mother suffered from stomach
trouble and constipation. She slept
poorly and complained of always being
tired out and thought that this showed
her liver was very inactive. Plant Juice
has changed all of this for since taking
this remedy she says she has a better
appetite and eats without any distress:
her bowels are regular and her liver more
active. She sleeps better and says she
feels improved every way and we both
praise Plant Juice"
