PADDY Diver is encouraging farmers to experience the health benefits from his anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting drink.
The Carndonagh man and former campaigner for homeowners affected by defective blocks has seen huge growth with his business, ‘Paddy’s Powerful Bottle’.
The drink is made up of natural ingredients with immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties, including turmeric, ginger, garlic and beetroot. The ingredients in the bottle have been proven to help with a number of health conditions including arthritis, psoriasis, aches and pains, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Paddy has felt the benefits of taking these ingredients first-hand. Having been diagnosed with Axial Spondyloarthritis, a type of arthritis that affects the joints in the axial skeleton, he began taking homemade bottles made by his sister.
He noticed an improvement in his own aches and pains and began researching the healing properties of natural ingredients.
Paddy was inspired by Australian alternative health care promoter Barbara O’Neill, and the health benefit claims behind each ingredient have been backed up by scientific research.
Ingredients are sourced from local suppliers when in season through Foyle Fruit in Derry. Paddy has been contacted by customers who have noticed an improvement in their own health from the bottle.
This includes one farmer in Co Kerry, who had been experiencing trouble with mobility while driving.
“He tried Paddy’s Powerful Bottle and he done the 30 day trial, and he phoned me and he was amazed,” said Paddy.
Paddy is encouraging farmers in particular to try the bottle, as they work long hours in often difficult weather conditions, which can take a toll on the body over time.
“It’s back to basics, it’s what our ancestors would have taken to cure the body naturally,” said Paddy.
He likens drinking Paddy’s Powerful Bottle to keeping an old Ford Dexta tractor ticking over.
“We can’t keep eating all these ultra-processed foods,” he said. “We have to get some good foods into us and drinking Paddy’s Powerful Bottle is like a service for your body.”
Customers taking Paddy’s Powerful Bottle for the first time are encouraged to drink a quarter of a glass over a 30 day trial for the benefits to kick in.
Paddy’s Powerful Bottle is supplied in a number of locations across Donegal and can be delivered to other counties. A list of stockists can be found on the Paddy’s Powerful Bottle Facebook page.
Paddy can be contacted via WhatsApp on +353 83 899 8957.
