A former Kingston mayor claims five drops of a mystery medicine, picked out in Pakistan using a bizarre ritual, have cured his Parkinson's disease tremors.
Chessington councillor Shiraz Mirza was diagnosed with the condition at the end of last year and the illness, which occurs when nerve cells in the brain die or become impaired, left him with tremors and stiffness.
But a trip back to Pakistan to visit his family and see old friends has transformed his life after a visit to a local homeopathic doctor stopped the tremors which had plagued him in recent months. And for the past six weeks he has been tremor free.
At first Shiraz was sceptical about visiting the doctor.
He said: "My friend here is a homeopathic doctor. She told me so many times to take things and I always said, No way, I'm a non-believer'."
Doctor Akmal Hussain, whose family have practised homeopathic medicine from their Lahore home for three generations, saw Shiraz in his surgery a garage.

Shiraz said: "We waited a couple of hours, then I went in. He told me to put my hands on the table in front of me and he looked at them."
The doctor then put some bottles filled with potions on the wooden table, and pulled out a pendulum which he held over Shiraz's hands, which were palm down.
The councillor said: "When I saw the pendulum I thought That's weird what is it?' It started swinging around the bottles."
The doctor moved away any bottles the pendulum did not swirl over and selected three.
He then put five drops of unknown medicine from one of them on the tongue of the sceptical councillor, and when Shiraz arrived home he noticed his tremors had stopped.
When he returned to the doctor he was told how to take the contents of all three bottles over the next three months.
Shiraz told the Comet: "I said to him, I have never seen a miracle happen. My tremors have stopped.' He laughed and said, I gave you medicine, that why they stopped'."
Now Shiraz wants to start a new support club in the borough for people with Parkinson's disease, which will have guest speakers talking about different treatments, and advice forums.
He said there was not enough support for people with Parkinson's in Kingston, adding: "I want to change that."
He is also hoping to convince Doctor Hussain to visit Kingston, so he can speak to other sufferers in the area.
He said: "I would like to offer to bring him over, but we need a sponsor really."
