Interesting. Glad you found out the big piece of the puzzle. I also think that my liver has a lot to do with my issue. When I had my big crash, I had been on a diet after eating a bunch of crap and then had randomly read about candida and had had a few doses of grapefruit seed extract to drink. When I was in the ER, my liver enzymes were over 200. They were like, what kind of toxins have you been exposed to? It was candida die-off and obviously turned my liver on its ear. I have had levels checked since and they are "normal" of course. I intend to get on some liver and spleen balancing TCM items. I have several symptoms of both my liver and spleen qi being out of balance. I believe if my gut can get balanced, everything will balance out much more rapidly and in the way that it should. I am still doing all of the emotional and nervous system balancing as that is another key component, as we are all finding out.
Keep us posted and there are actually some SCIO practitioners in Denver; I just may go see someone. Thanks for the enlightening post. Take care.
