Lo: new and in need of help

[Guest guest]

Hi Lo,

Please read my story in the " files " section, under stories. I had

many of your symtpoms. I have been explanted for a year. I am

still experiencing muscle twitches and tingling in my face and

neck. But considering the wide range of problems I had, I am doing

much better. My energy level is very high now, and I have started

infrared sauna therapy along with some other detoxification

methods. I strongly encourage you to get the capsules out; they can

harbor bacteria and fungal infections.

hugs,

Beth
