Phenol Sensitivity and DAN Protocol

[Guest guest]

Vickie,

Is this the site you were looking for? I can't

tolerate any Soy products.. which is bad, because

most of any foods today have soy products in them.

Unlabled! Can't eat any apples from this area,

because of the pesticides that are absorbed. Many

have phenols.
