Hi, I feel at night I yawn with mouth, my eyes start to come out tears I use homeopatic sometimes it work, sometimes it wont work. I feel a little pain in the kidneys, is not like a pain is like malfunctioning. I dont know if is liver or kidney. Dandelion helps sleep. I feel a lot of energy and i dont use any kind of steroids or drugs. I use Goldflam from goldvit (it haves cat claw, turmeric, oregano, boswellia)
What is happening with my body? I feel energetic but sometimes i can't sleep well. I think my body have a lot of toxins maybe is good doing a detox. But I NEED to be careful i have crohn disease, chlorella should be good? Its a parasit, kidney, liver? In the past i have used whey protein, creatine no more than that. I STOPPED using that since months.
. Also can be a parasite but with goldflam have a lot of good herbs i dont think that is the problem. I only feel a pression in lower part of the back. Isnt like pain. Is like pressure or kidney working. Im from Portugal Islands.

Hey Andrew. You "ll be fine. Just try GLJ juice for at least 15 days. It is a good detox. Don't have anything other than this for 15 days. Whenever you are hungry, just have the juice. Other than this have boiled vegetables for your meals. For kidneys and liver malfunctioning, Get a physical diagnosis. Write back o us after that. We will give you a regimen for healthy kidneys and liver. DO NOT USE STEROIDS OR OTHER DRUGS.
