Good luck.
IT IS VERY HARD TO STAY OFF OF, the Ketchup and BBQ wings and Gatorade to me are like crack, and guess what they are high in? Go figure! I ate those things for years, no wonder I got sicker! I am still sick off those IMO.

I cut them out for days and felt better but had to get some the other day and today because like you said it's like crack, and I feel worse.


In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
