HI gals....I just figured out this weekend that the reason my mouth and gums burn when I eat sugar is because of the mercury tatooing in my gums....you can see the heavy metals in the gumline, especially where there are crowns. The sugar feeds the bacteria and yeast in the teeth and gums, and methylates the mercury which deterioriates the gum tissue even more and makes deeper pockets for more yeast and bacteria to grow...it is a vicious cycle.

And I was the same as Tia Bex, I used to live to eat, literally, almost everything I did revolved around my gourmet meals, cheese, wine, huge dinners. I still go out of my way to make healthy tasty dinners, but I eat eggs and homemade veggie soup almost every day for brunch....food does not take up such a huge part of my life anymore. It was a hard lesson to learn but a good one.

I have lost 12 pounds this summer by not snacking in between meals and doing that has also improved my digestion.

And we have some good recipes to share if anyone needs some gluten free, sugar free treats, don't we Tia?

Bex have you ever tried oil of oregano for the virus, it is supposed to kick out viruses, bacteria and fungus...I haven't had a flu or cold since I have been using it for 3 years.
