Hi Tw, thanks. It's a pity that the help I sought from the vet ended up finishing my cat off, rather than helping her. I think she was old and vulnerable and obviously the medications and vaccines were far too powerful for her to handle and were the very things that killed her.

Thanks Sosick, I hope the parasite cleanse will kick in soon. I don't expect immediate results or healing crisis, but it'll be encouraging if/when it does happen. At least wiping out something that is adding to the load. I'll be very surprised if it turns out not to be the problem... but I think it's worth doing a cleanse regardless as one never knows and we humans never worm ourselves like pets!

Can't wait to get into the pumpkin seeds....I'd actually love to stir fry them or something? Get more flavour out of them and add some rock salt to them. I'm thinking it would be a nice snack for me and bonus that it helps with parasites.

Thanks for the other tips. I don't drink milk anyway because it feeds yeast (lactose), so I stick with yoghurt pretty much but even then limited amounts. I don't tend to do well on apple cider vinegar with my yeast issues, and do not know why that would be....

Love the sound of that pumpkin pie! I am not a cook at all and avoid it, but that maybe due to the exhaustion. I tend to keep things as easy and basic as I possibly can, just so I can eat and get it over with lol.
