    Pituitary and Thymus

    Good luck, keep posting and let me know how it works. You really have to take the whole diet into consideration. If I eat just a couple potato chips I will pay for it. You wouldn't think that one or two bites of something would hurt, but with me it does. I have to be really strict. But it pays...

    Pituitary and Thymus

    Yes, I had some sensitivities to gluten, my sinuses were stuffy a lot. I know because I went gluten free for a year and it cleared up, that was before I got sick. Since getting ME, I not only have sensitivities to a lot of things I didn't before, but they will bed rid me if I eat them. Terrible...

    I agree ukxmrv, mine was an example of what is working for me and to give a platform on which to use.

As most people only have to be on the pituitary for 4 weeks, he wants me on them for another four weeks as he...

First off I want to say that I had already made progress by eliminating things from my diet that were severely aggravating my symptoms. For instance chocolate I found my body started to see it as a toxic invader. I...

    Pituitary and Thymus

    Thought I would give a short update to anyone who is interested. I have been on the pituitary and thymus supplements for about a two weeks. This is the fourth day that I have felt really good. I have energy, my mind is clear, depression lifted, nausea way down, energy up and overall feeling 90%...

    Pituitary and Thymus

    New here...... have enjoyed reading from people who - get it... I have been fighting this lovely disease for about 7 years, after a bout with the West Nile. Any way, I just went to a Naturopath yesterday and he recommends desecrated Bovine glands, similar to thyroid treatments. He says I will...
