Re: Mysterious chronic illness

Hi Mlg115,

Wow, you have been throught the ringer! I am sorry at your age you are dealing with all of this!

Please consider looking into a high carb low fat vegan diet, with lots of fresh juices and fruit and greens, etc.  Find things you can digest ok like possibly sweet potatoes, please make sure to eat enough if you go this route, like 2000 calories, min.  The crux of the issue I believe is something you seem to already be onto: C section birth, lots of antibiotics, etc.  Your gut is hurting for some balance and good flora, IMHO, and you could be stirring up metal issues or low b12/methylation problems with the B vitamins, CoQ10 and other supps..

First, happy you're off the BCPs (a steriod that can cause gut dysbiosis, gallbladder disease, heart disease, etc) But I would seriously rethink the Copper IUD, you mentioned dental sugery and I'm wondering if you already have heavy metals in you.  Your significant other can use a condom, take male contraceptives or get a vasectomy, you getting better should superced all else as you don't want to bring these health problems into your 30's believe me, and gut health is life.

The above diet will slowly nurse you back to health because the high raw foods will reestablish a healthy gut over time if you don't do anything (drinking, meds, copper, meat, dairy, high fat.) else to destroy the gut flora. The gut flora thrive on fiber.  You can eat high carb if you greatly limit fats, you will probably feel relief very soon with this.

Please look into Tylenol, the people who rep the company won't even take the stuff or give it to their kids.

Pharma doesn't have the answers in my experience, I wish I was your age again and could have someone tell me these things.  It would have saved me so much trouble.

Do you have amalgams?  The supplements could be like a barbaric attempt at helping yourself.  Please slow down with them, or eleminate some of them until you find out if you have MTHFR, please look into the following:

Parasite herbs might further harm your digestion, it did mine.  I got very bad from them, I don't recommend killing parasites anymore, very rough on the entire body, very very hard on the liver and does not work, IMHO.  Your liver will be something you will want to look into in terms of clearing depending on how well you recouperate from the above diet.

I hope you get better soon and can have your old self back!  Keep the faith, and ask for guidance from God, or meditate and ask yourself what the answer for you is, we are pulling for you to have a total recovery and be better than ever, you can do it!

(p.s. the men in the white coats never helped me, they only made me a lot worse, I avoid them and my health continuously improves, they truly do not undertand health, only their brand of "medicine":)
