Could you tell me what your diet was like when you were taking the yerba mate before you were cured? Did you feel anything special upon first taking the yerba mate? You spoke about being hospitalized because of first taking 3 liters worth. ..What was the amount you switched to? Did you stop drinking it once you were cured? I'm very curious about all these things since your condition seems very similar to mine. I too went the alternative medicine route. But your story sounds very compelling.
