Mum claims she's cured her chronic arthritis by only eating fruit

A mum-of-two who only eats fruit says her strict diet has cured her chronic arthritis leaving her feeling "like Forrest Gump". Pam Johal, 44, switched to her fruitarian lifestyle after suffering from rheumatoid arthritis in her hands and legs three years ago.

Her condition was so bad, she was unable to get out of the bath on her own and was often bed-bound with the pain. But the former NHS administrator says she now has the energy of “Forrest Gump” and never needs makeup or take painkillers.

Everyday she munches through a selection of fruits, including oranges, kiwis, pomegranates and blueberries. Incredibly, Pam has even stopped drinking water and says she receives all the liquid nutrients she needs from fruit.
