I have a AF since March. 3 days ago i started feeling better. i have a colonoscopy next month. i stop bleeding 3 days go. i went on juice fast, now over and eat fruits and veggies. Start squatting. It relieves pain and excretions are easier. No cramps or spasms anymore. Use castor oil, rub on anus and internally inject with infant syringe. Oil is good. If you have oregano oil, mix 3-4 drops in a tbsp of castor oil use internally. I also use herbal hemmorhoid ointment Ma Ying Long from Amazon...great for AF's! 1st I pray to God. I pray for everyone here for good health and speedy relief. This is torture. My heart goes out to all. I am thankful I can sit down now! Please share with others. 3 tubes worked for me. Be patient with yourself.
