Thanks, Lana for the information.
When I would hear the word allergies, I just kind of assumed that meant some kind of rash or reaction or something like that. I have certain foods for sure that cause my symptoms to increase and intensify. So that would be considered allergies, right? Since I have started eating organic and drinking pure water it seems like I can't eat the things I used to eat. I used to have a constant runny nose which I don't have any more. I also have a calmer digestive system which is functioning well and for many years I suffered with colon problems being constipated for days and then going into what I called 'attacks' that would lead to diarreah. Never thought about those things coming from metals or even the food I ate.
I am happy to be eating the way I do and actually my body craves the 'good' stuff at this point. I really never want to go back to the way I ate before, tho' I really miss cooking so many different dishes and desserts I used tol. It was my hobby.
Thanks again for the advice, how are you doing these days?
