Thanks Gloria, I think I will give it a go! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wow, interesting about your friend! That is wonderful she got improvements from it. So many of these illnesses are strange and distressing. Yes, what I have is too. Hasn't yet been diagnosed and I doubt it ever will be. I do feel it's internal infections, I cannot explain it, but I sense that strongly.

So here's hoping on the cat's claw that I'll get a good response like your friend! or at the very least, just some control over some symptoms would be great. Enough to get me a bit more back on my feet. I don't think my immune system can handle so much going on at once and is under continual strain, so is in fighting mode all the time which leaves me too tired to do anything. Even having to use my voice verbally can upset me. I burst into tears the other day when my father was asking me something and I was too tired to give an answer. lol, geesh!! He just looked at me like "what the???". If I bump myself even lightly I can erupt in tears. It's just sheer unadulterated exhaustion, rather than drama queen acts. Too tired to live almost.

Your friend's doctor sounds pretty typical. Many of them HATE alternative medicine! Almost like HOW DARE YOU SEEK NATURAL METHODS TO TRY AND HEAL....THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE, YOU MUST MEDICATE MEDICATE MEDICATE.

When half the time their medications cause worse problems that the original sickness. The best are the doctors who take onboard both! Open minded enough to seek natural methods to help their patients, rather than seeking drug remedies.

Anyway, yeah I'll watch out for allergies. I don't notice that as a problem funnily enough, but I notice big issues with diet and slipping up in regards to feeding the candida. That's a really big issue.

take care!
