Dr. Marrs and I are very much on the same plane of thinking. We both believe that much of the illness in America is not being recognized for what it really represents, hence the publication of our book: Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia and High Calorie Malnutrition.

I am sharing my health story in the hopes that someone can offer assistance. I had stage 4 endometriosis for years before it was diagnosed.
