​I've tried all manner of supplements, explored many alternative treatments and changed my diet hundreds of times.  Alas, I believe my discomforts arise from toxins.  I began all manner of detoxing, diet, vitamin supplementation, massage, sauna, iv drip therapies, energetic therapies, detox baths, liver, gallbladder & kidney cleanses, colonics, spiritual therapies, ozone therapy and much more.  I did have to finally have a surgery to remove a tumor that was caused by one of the toxins I was exposed to.  Of course that did greatly help as I was very run down from loss of blood.  After tracing back when and how all these discomforts began I came to the realization that it began early on with an ear infection from a ruptured ear drum.  At that time antibiotics where the medicine of choice.  Chronically given antibiotics well into my 30's had destroyed my gut health, allowing toxins to leak into my body, causing unexplainable inflammation, pain and the inability to lose weight.  Add to the mix, a 8 year exposure to the toxin, PFOA, aka C8, and you have a disaster waiting to happen.  Well my body and will must be very strong, because even though I did not feel well, I was showing up.  The PFOA had caused a tumor, which my body would try to expel along with a lot of blood.  So much that I was told I needed to immediately get to the emergency room for a transfusion 4 different times.  I did not trust the blood supply and declined.  On my own I supplemented with every natural blood building nutrient and would make it till the next month, where I would lose

​So, my journey has been to introduce detox protocols into my daily living over the last 5+ years.

10 years later and I feel much better, really only 2 things remaining, but I believe one is a virus I contracted while my body was so run down.  The other may be a hereditary and psychological protection factor.  So right now I am working on the virus and how I can keep it tamed with no flare ups.
