Summary
Horizon 66310 had a constant, thick post-nasal drip that had them spitting out mucus most of the day, with coffee giving only mild relief. In March 2022 they credited the GAPS diet, used to get off pharmaceutical prescriptions, chemicals and pesticides in foods, with resolving the post-nasal drip and leaving them anxiety-free for the first time in 26 years, which they called the game changer. Their overall activity level and recovery were not described.
