It is great what Melody said about self healing. The sprouts are a great idea, and can only help your immune system. I just don't want you to have to go down the same path that I went on. I had two children, and then presented with auto immune diseases, yes the plural in that. I went to mayo clinic,shortly after my children were born and entered a trial study with a hospital mayo clinic sent me to. My daughter was born with problems, serious enough for two years at Barns hostpital in St. Louis. NO true DX was discovered. She had failure to thrive and neo natal seizures. My son had cancer at a young age. The whole thing was blamed on auto immune problems, stemming from me. I was adopted with no health records, hence had no idea, there was anything wrong with my genetic make up. I just want you to be healthy, and not have to go though what I did. I wound up being a single parent with more problems than I really could handle. It took every ounce of strength I had to raise my children, having medical issues of my own. It would be wise to seek genetic council. Seek guidance from your primary care physician on this. Make sure your constitution is right for this endeavor. It was so very hard dear woman. Just make sure it is the right choice for you and your husband. xxginnie
