Summary
They reported being really unwell for about a year and said Dr. Howard Schubiner's stuff helped them; they also did Rebecca Tolin's program. They got little breaks in their symptoms, though they kept crashing again. The gains accumulated, leaving them with much more energy and optimism, but they were still working toward their old level of wellness.
