Thank you for all the great advice!!

Hi,

Thank to all of you for your advice and support. I've been "cleansing" (with a simple diet and herbs) for about 3 months now, and it is great to have people out there to share knowledge about this whole experience. It gets so complicated sometimes!! I never even thought of myself as having an irritated bowel, but now as I am paying so much attention to my bodily functions, I'm uncovering all these new issues..

For now, I'm going to restart the p&b shakes, and continue with the anti- parasite plan, and I would also like to do some colonic hydrotherapy. I've also been to a Chinese herbalist, who would basically diagnose my symptoms as "dampness"--loose watery stools, candida--making the body a hospitable place for parasites and yeast overgrowth. The herbalist has given me some drying herbs which are applied topically, so I'm going to try that as well.

Thanks again for your words of wisdom!!
