Thanks for your reply and words of wisdom. I have heard that chlorophyl is very good for haemoglobin levels. I shall look up that book you mentioned. It sounds as if you've worked hard to get where you are today - well done! I know I have unresolved emotion issues - my Mum! but each time I stand up to her I get a mouth full of abuse and sarcasm etc. I know she wont change, but it doesn't make it any easier. I was always closer to my Dad, who has died. She once said to me 'I lost a husband, you only lost a father' (!) Luckily my sister and I are very close, and talk about this at length which helps - she has similar problems with her. Thanks again.
