Re: Chris!!

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the reply. So, I take it you healed yourself with the diet? That parasite infection sounds pretty intense. I had a cousin pick up something in south america once and almost die. Actually, my problems are nothing like that really. They have been going on for as long as I can remember, but I never really put it all together until recently. Well, not that I've really put anything together.

The md-who-is-also-an-nd is the first doctor to tell me I have anything other than depression, or a bizarrely long list of unrelated symptoms and depression. I dont know if you know anything about the mental health side of the gut problem thing, but supposedly it is all related.

Funny you mention that about the Rubin dude being a bible thumper. I have looked at his stuff before, and that did bother me...And also, but not as much, did Dr. Mercola's belief that all doctors should tell their patients to "pray." Eh. I dont put down people's beliefs or anything, but I dont know, I have a hard time with people giving me life changing guidance who also happen to believe the world was made in a poof of magic 6000 years ago, and that my wang gets hard in the morning because of the "devil", etc. Sorry for the rant, haha. My family is very religious and pretty screwed up, so I have issues with it.

Not that I brush aside the whole idea of spirituality or whatever...I mean everything is connected energy, thats a fact (food chain, all life from the sun...) Anyway, its good to hear from someone I can seem to relate to about this stuff. Obviously, everyone I know thinks I am crazy for getting into this diet, but I am one desperate young man. The comments I get about the smell of the cultured vegetables are pretty discouraging, but I eat them anyway.

In case I gave you the wrong impression I am totally open to the chinese medicine thing. I would just like to read up on the energy meridians and all, and havent found much on it.

I am about to move to a new apartment and find a new job, and start the diet yet again. I have been living with my insane family and have to leave for my own sake, so I am in kind of a sink or swim situation right now. Things always get incredibly bad for me in the winters, so I am going all out with this stuff before I get to the deep lows again.

By longboarding I meant skateboarding...haha. I cant surf, tried to teach myself once and didnt get far. I'd like to. Hope you enjoyed my life story Chris.

Thanks,

Brandon
