'Arthritis Was Crippling Me...but Fx-silica Has Completely Given Me My Life Back'
LANDSCAPE GARDENER Stan Hitchen, believes that the properties of FX Silica gel have made him pain free and independent once again. GEORGE TAYLOR investigates.
At the age of 63 you’d think that Stan Hitchen would start to think about taking life a little easier. However he’s just finished a complete renovation of his new home and not content with that, he’s also designed and landscaped his garden to create ‘a little piece of heaven’. This is all quite amazing considering Stan has been suffering from crippling arthritis for the last eight years!
“Arthritis runs in the family… we’ve all suffered with it” Stan tells me as we sit on the decking in his garden. “I knew I’d get it and after forty years of gardening everyday it finally struck!”
“THE AGONY LED TO DEPRESSION!”
Stan suffered with crippling pain and stiffness in his hands and knees, which meant delegating all of the physical work, which he always relished, to his younger staff. “It was heartbreaking. I felt so useless and started to have bouts of depression. The anti-inflammatories and pain killers from the doctor hardly had any effect and the physio treatments only relaxed the joints for a short while after each session.”
