Bex, thanks for sharing your situation with us. If anyone deserves to regain 100% health it is you!

I have a strong feeling that if your main health concern right now is a bacterial/viral infection your underlying problem is your ileocecal valve. I know, you read some of the information I provided but please hear me out and keep an open mind.

To draw a simple analogy: Your body is the kitchen and the garbage can in the pantry is your intestinal system. The cover on the garbage can is your ileocecal valve. When the cover is on the garbage can everything is well as long as you are able to open it up when it is full and empty it then put the cover back on.

Everything in the kitchen is fine, no smell and you hardly known the garbage is there. However, if you are unable to open the garbage can the garbage spills all over the floor and the kitchen smells, bacteria grows and the place becomes infected. Same thing happens if you can't put the cover back on the garbage can. Bacteria and viral infections all over the kitchen.

The reason why they call the ileocecal valve the "Great Mimicker" is that having waste material from your intestines dumped into your system repeatedly causes all sorts of health problems not the least of which is bacterial and viral infection.

Bacterial and viral infections are textbook ileocecal valve dysfunction.

When the ileocecal valve locks open or closed the body in effects poisons itself with its own bacteria.

Considering the chemical poisoning you've endured I'd almost be surprised if you didn't have ileocecal involvement. You know whats best for you but you may want to take a closer look.

Isn't the solution to the most complex problems usually simple? If there's bacterial and viral infections in the body doesn't it make the most sense that it is emanating from the dirtiest, nasties part of the body, the colon and small intestine?
