If this doesn't encourage someone to start looking at parasites, fungi/candida I don't know what will. It's really affected me to see this picture as well as hear what you went through with it Sunshine.

It's actually upsetting in a way that you have been carrying this around with you for goodness knows HOW LONG and suffered so badly as a consequence, not even able to absorb nutrients properly or gain any weight. Geesh, this is scary. How many of us have this going on or something similar I wonder...

When I read that something like this can be caused by long term toxicity from whatever - cigarettes? drugs? mercury? etc etc and it's the body's protective mechanism, but one wonders why it doesn't break down again properly? Is it a vicious cycle to where the body can no longer help itself?

Well, this will be one of my future things I would like to do at some point. This is dramatic stuff. I know it's not easy to post something like that Sunshine, but sometimes it's got to be done.

This is the kind of thread that is worthy of saving for the sake of proving to others that this is what can happen with these cleanses.
