Coming up in episode four.

Do medical miracles happen?

Rainer Wynne responded to the Observer's investigation with the following statement.

The salt path lays bare the physical and spiritual journey Moth and I shared, an experience that transformed us completely and altered the course of our lives.

This is the true story of our journey.

On her website, Rainer goes on to say, Moth was diagnosed with CBD.

This is a fact.

The suggestion that Moth has made up his illness is utterly vile, unfair and false.

I have never sought to offer medical advice in my books or suggest that walking might be some sort of miracle cure for CBS.

I'm simply charting Moth's own personal journey and battle with his illness and what has helped him.

My books have become a record of his health, through the movement issues to the times on our very long walks when those symptoms have improved.

The effect of the suggestion that Moth has made up this condition has been absolutely traumatising for him.

Suggestions made by people who do not know him, have never met him and have never seen his medical records.

Thanks for listening to The Walkers, The Real Salt Path.
