I'm sure I am toxic. I've also been craving sugar really bad. My body never has let me abuse it for very long. Kind of a blessing, I guess. Thank you for all the advice. I think maybe I will try a little garlic except leery of being around people.....I am out of pills. I need to take another trip to the Herb Shop.... I will start upping my C. I do use the cranberry pills and eat dried in salads, but they have sugar... I do eat chocolate to give me energy. Honestly I have pushed myself past natural energy for a while - but I'm at a dead stop at the moment. I have some herbs for parasite cleansing which I will start once i feel better. i am not deathly ill, but need to function. I just don't like that my kidneys are aching..... I've done this before long ago. I knew I was getting dehydrated but had no thirst. I let it go too far apparently. I'd rather do garlic than an antibiotic....Thank you!!! Guys are lucky that way! I wonder, too, if all the hormonal shifting going on with me affects anything... I will read up on that, though. Have lots of books on all this. The truth is I'm going to have to get back to cleansing....I haven't in a long long time. Strangely, too, I just started taking B-complex again! Interesting points on that. I've always read we are woefully deficient, but I also cravy brown rice. (Which has it). Maybe i should go more that route for now. Thank you so much JK. Jeanie
