It's interesting to see how my son's whole physical and emotional state has changed since his odor went away in January 2008. 

1. He used to be very skinny, and now he's gained weight and is concerned with watching his caloric intake and has begun working out at the gym to increase his metabolism and to body build.
2. His skin looks refreshed and healthy, except for a few pimples on his back, now that he has no odor, and before it always looked cold and clammy, and didn't have the healthy look about it as it does now.
3. He used to always look fatigued and hangoverish-like (even without any alcohol consumption) and walked dragging his body around like a ball and chain, now he's very active and never seems to get tired.  He used to work out before his odor began, stopped the 8 years he had extreme odor, and began working out again now that the odor is gone.
4. emotionally, he was extremely interverted and stayed home most weekends during the 8 years of intense odor, before his odor and now afterwards, he goes out with friends 2 to 3 nights a week, goes to the beach, and is very extroverted with an energetic assertiveness that livens up the crowd.  It's like day and night.

My husband and I are forever commenting to each other in complete awe each time we observe a new change in him.  I really believe that his bloodborne toxins were like poison for him.  Even his allergies have significantly diminished.  He does have to watch his weight now, even on a low choline diet.  I wonder if it's also a hormonal change.  I don't know.
