If you would like to call and speak with me in person, please send an e-mail and I will provide you with my phone number and best times to call. Do not send me your phone number, I will not call you.
Before you call, please be aware of the following:
I wish to gain and share information between people living with Pemphigus and other auto-immune conditions.
BOOKS
Diet explanations and recommendations based on your blood type. It is a documented fact that red blood cells of people living with some autoimmune illnesses tend to 'clump' together. Dr. D'Adamo's theory explains this phenomenon and offers sound advice for correcting it. Of all the material I have come across, this is the most promising I have read. Highly recommended.
