thanks Vowel Lady,
I am very interested in the dr mcdougal site.

yes my neuro is the "go to guy" in these parts, and thinks there is a connection btwn the kidney and deficiency deal.....you have a very good point about an intergrated physician too, i would very much like that.

i've been reading my head off (vegan books cook books, raw diet books), and eating a huge variety of fruits and veggies, i had fresh figs this week for the first time!

thank you so much for your input, it's so hard when one doc doesn't really talk to the other, just to drop a line, "thank you for your kind referral"

I take the methylcoba...when i'm feeling run down, as daily messes with my sleep, I don't have any side effects from the shots.
having the tinest of relapses now, all symptoms seem to be just below the surface, with no wheat products for two weeks, don't know how long it take for everything to get out of your system......

gonna post that question on gluten file, and head back over to dr mcdougal,
thanks!
