Bj..autoimmune etc.

[Guest guest]

Yes great job..in this book The Autoimmune Epidemic it explains with

great clarity what is happening in the human body with regards to

autoimmune disease. I've always said we must all find what works best

for us. There is certainly never one answer fits all.

To the highest good of all...

Be well...
