Dan’s Story: How Natural Supplements Helped Him Walk
At Strength & Spices, we believe that natural, vegan supplements can unlock remarkable healing potential for people facing tough challenges. One of our most powerful success stories comes from Angela. Her 5-year-old son Dan was diagnosed with Arthrogryposis, a condition affecting his muscles and bones. This condition limited Dan’s mobility and required him to use a tripod to walk. However, with the help of our supplements, Dan experienced a transformation that exceeded all expectations.
“As a mother to a child with a disability, the second best thing to happen to me after giving birth to Dan is to meet Dr. Anabtawi. He gave me help and supplements for Dan that are helping him in ways where I never thought I would see.”

In November 2019, I met Dan for the first time. His mum had exhausted all other avenues of treatment. As a last resort, decided to bring him to my clinic for tests. Considering he was only four, he was very mature for his age and such a charming little fellow.
Dan has something called Clubfoot – a deformity where an infant’s foot turns inward. He was unable to walk without the help of two tripods. The NHS had done their best but had suggested no more surgeries can be done. Dan would have had to wear a plastic frame under his shoes to be able to walk using the tripods.
I explained to him that my test would not hurt him; it would find what his body needed to make him better. His condition broke my heart. I was determined then to help him irrespective of the amount of time or mixtures he needed.
Dan’s mum agreed to give me exclusivity regarding his story. The test showed that he had a deficiency of Vitamin A, Zinc, and Magnesium, all of which are related to muscle problems. I also examined him physically and read his medical reports which pointed to his bone problems and potential arthritis in his hands.

Dan is a boy who is brave, resilient, and strong. He suffers from a physical disability that prevents him from the normal activities that all children enjoy. Simple activities – running in the park, playing hide-and-seek, or kicking a football around – can be taken for granted by many. But, despite his disability, Dan has always tried to act like any other four-year-old.
We introduced Dan to three of our carefully formulated natural supplement. These included the anti-inflammatory blend, memory booster (for nerve function) and an immune booster. These vegan supplements were designed to support his overall health, help manage inflammation, and strengthen his immune system. These are all key components in his healing journey.
We also did physical massage on his leg muscles for 15 minutes every day.
I added that Dan should try and walk at least 100 metres a day outdoors with his tripod to exercise his muscles and strengthen his bones. Finally, he was also stimulated and encouraged by his mum to walk only four metres 20 times per evening with no tripod. This would help him improve his walking skills and balance.
It wasn’t easy for a boy of 4 years to accept all of this. But finally, after encouragement, temptation and convincing, he was happy to try.

Six weeks after starting our supplements, combined with daily massage and walking exercises, Dan took his first unassisted steps. This progress was unimaginable just a short time before. With continued use of our products, Dan’s strength and mobility improved even further. Four months into his journey, he was able to walk around 100 meters without his tripod.
“Dan is making progress each day, something I never thought I would see.”
Last January, almost 3 months after starting with our supplements Dan was due for a medical review at St. Luke’s hospital in Bradford. His medical team and two physiotherapist experts were to test him to see if he had progressed over the last 3 months. 👨⚕️
I was invited to attend and was delighted to be there to receive on-the-spot feedback regarding Dan’s development.
The consultant, as well as the physiotherapists, were extremely surprised and very pleased with his progress and control over his movements. They couldn’t believe the progress he had made with his leg muscles and how he was able to walk slightly without the need of his tripod.
The consultant recorded this and asked Dan’s mother what he took to cause such a quick improvement. She introduced the team to the Strength & Spices’ supplements that he is taking, as well as the program I made for him to complement the supplements.
The information went on record with the NHS. In that report, they noted that all the ingredients are 100% natural and have no side effects. The consultant asked me to provide the contents of these mixtures to investigate how those could help Dan and how they can help similar cases.
A month later, Corona hit the world badly. In the UK, schools closed. The only positive meant that Dan had even more time to spend at the park practicing his 100m walk. (when the weather permitted, of course!)
