Hi - hope your still using this site.

I read your very interesting research on dark circles that I have also been plagued with for over ten years without finding a solution and now at the point of considering cosmetic surgery as the only possible cure.

It would be interesting to here how you're getting on before I go to the next step of booking a consultation with one of the experts you mentioned in New York - I live in the UK.

My circles however appeared overnight - I still remember the horror of awakening and then double checking myself in the mirror cos my eyes had changed and then at the same time finding out I'd picked up an STD from the first relationship I'd started in 5yrs - what a wonderful gift!! Save to say I immediately dropped her but was left with something that seemed as if I'd have to carry for life as a reminder to use every precaution. I had already been precarious as I knew she had Lupus but I was told this was genetic and not something you could just pick up from another person.......

I don't know how it could come up over night or exactly how an std can so quickly effect whichever organs that would cause this.... Had some months ago seen an alternative medicinist due to other seemingly related side effects of that episode that related to chronic fatigue. His tests showed that my organs had acceptable cellular structure, which leads me to believe my kidney's are ok. He also put me on a wheat free diet due to my intolerance to it. My fatigue has improved but circles remains.

Would it be advisable to check out any of the other diets you mention and/or the liver/colon cleanses or am I incurable??
