DISCLAIMER

This by no means meant to be medical advice, I do what works for me through my own research and if you or someone you know suffers from this condition then hopefully some of this information will help guide you, or give you ideas, but I am not a medical professional and my family have basically done their own research, read medical papers and tests and we do what is best for me medication wise and diet wise.
