thursday july 28th

So here I sit again sick as a dog. I spend many many hours into the late night trying to relax enough to sleep. I always feel so much better when I start to vent and I have over the years had a few email friends that I would type to. More recently than not I just type my story out and never send it off. It does feel better to vent so I figured this was a way to keep the venting up and get the story out. Over time I will try and tell the full story but for today let's just start with where I am. I have been trying for years to kill a parasite called blastocystis. In the process I have also developed a bacterial infection called c.diff. They are both absolutely horrible. For those of you that do not know c.diff is a spore bacteria that approximately 70% of the population has. And when you are healthy and your gut flora is in balance you are fine. But once you disrupt that flora the c,diff can over populate and make you very sick. I have done this. I want to let you know that herbs are just as powerful and can indeed change your gut flora. This is what has happened to me this time around. I tried to take some powerful herbs last fall to kill the blasto and all I did was kill what good flora I had left and developed c.diff. I tested positive for it in Nov and was able to control it after the holidays. Well I started back up on herbs again and it came back the end of June. I am so sick. And I do not feel well right now and thought I would type some of my story for a bit.
