    Let's talk Mucous

    I've tried the GAPS diet, and it works pretty well. I just can't have the dairy. Most of the time I try to keep bone broth as it is very soothing and gives me some nutrients. I need to keep my weight up if I can. I don't want to lose any that's for sure. I'm rail thin now. Is it the CBS...

    . This is me completely. I've tried the mucinex, but it doesn't seem to help. I think because the congestion is in my sinuses and not the lungs. But, it gets worse when I have gut troubles. I've just started the short cut protocol from Dr. Yasko, added some of the vitamin/mineral...

    Looking for Detox Profile info

    I recently got my genetic testing done through 23andme,and I printed the reports through genetic genie. I understand the methylation analysis, but not the detox profile.
