Thank you. I forgot that I posted this message. I am happy to say that I also nearly forgot about my problem because it disappeared a few weeks after I posted the message. The intensive research here and on other sites led me to the aforementioned treatments, including molasses and high doses of cod liver oil. I went from terrible to wonderful with absolutely no relapses and I'm speaking now over 17 months later. I am certain that had I pursued conventional medical treatments I would have undergone unneeded surgical procedures. It felt wonderful to have treated myself the natural way.
