About dacde

I became interested in the subjects of nutrition and natural supplements when I became ill with what was then called 'chronic fatigue syndrome' and the doctors told me the only thing I could do was wait it out. I had worked in the medical field, and I frankly didn't believe them. So I began my search for health.

Turns out I had a systemic yeast infection, and I had to educate myself on how to deal with it. From this I gained a tremendous respect for the ability of the body to heal itself, if given the right nutrition. Hopefully, some of this information will help someone else along the way.
