I wouldn't rule out mercury poisoning to explain the above: it has a
massive effect on enzymes, which affects all of the body's functions.
SInce the body will try to 'lock up' toxins in fat, this could explain
your craving for fats? The scaly redness of the face - I have seen this
on Dr Hal Huggins, who got severe mercury poisoning from drilling out so
many amalgum fillings.

If it is mercury, and if it is being stored in the fat, then be aware
that sometime in the future it will be again released into the blood
stream ( eg if you go on a diet or something).

I hope this doesn't alarm you, there are things you can do to excrete
mercury, if that is what it is.

And remember the power of wheatgrass juice ( or barley ) to help detoxify.

Good luck,
