I am so sorry to hear about your illness but it sounds like you are not giving up. I just wanted to share that my best friend's husband was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer last January. Along with surgery, they also visited a holistic doctor and a dietician. He went back last week and his scan showed his cancer is gone. Hang in there.
In my early 30s I came down with chronic fatigue syndrome. I ran a 103 temperature for 3 months, no antibiotics would help. I needed 14 hrs sleep to survive. No doctor knew what to do. I lost my job because my doctor said I needed to be on disability to get better. I was diagnosed with CFS, FIBROMYALGIA, Depression, IBS, and many others. I went to a symposium at a hospital for CFS. The doctors said they didn’t understand, but many of their patients were getting better. They said echinacea was helping. I started taking it, and slowly I too started to get better. Temps went away with no antibiotics and I started getting stronger.
It’s 30 yrs later, and I have been taking it everyday ever since. I never get sick, and my resistance is so much better all these years. I can’t explain it, but if I run out and let a few days go by, I start running a fever. I just can’t explain it nor can anyone else, I never had covid either.
Unfortunately, 4 yrs ago I was diagnosed with MALS. It’s been hell with the surgeries I’ve had but not real success in solving the problem. But I’m not giving up. Staying strong and positive really helps.
