My guess is that Micheal's thought-provoking letter got to you. But to
be on the safe side, what I intend to do as I increase the RAF in a my
diet, apart from trying to create a strong gastrointestinal
environment, is to eat fresh garlic and hot chile papers a couple a
times a week to kill off any attempts of parasitic infestion.

I agree.

Or by being deficient in nutrients thereby triggering the imprints of
past traumas/deprivations.

You must mean traumatic emotions too painful for the system to
integrate. Could you please mention a couple of these chemicals?

I will second that! I love reading your thoughts on these issues so
please keep the coming.

PS. The above message I posted to the list yesterday but as far as I
can tell it did not go through. I want to add, Ellie, that I agree with
Deborah that you should not let your symptoms go unchecked for too long
especially if they get any worse.
