Onwards,
Are you taking in supplements besides herbs? It sounds like from you post that you follow Bee Wilder? Congratulations on feeling better and i agree with you that healthy eating and having the appropriate intestinal flora is the way to get the body healthy. I see you are now into fermenting foods, are you getting your prebiotics from food or are you supplementing with them? You will need the prebiotics to help the probiotics(feremented foods) flourish.
