Disclaimer & Caution
We write here of what we have experienced, and what we have learned.  What has worked for us may not work for you. The personal attention of an expert is recommended in all matters relating to any kind of healing or treatment; there is no such thing as proper diagnosis-by-internet, and self-healing is a tricky and dangerous business. As far as eating anything goes; we don't know what you're allergic to so act accordingly. Also, "ANYTHING" done to excess is by definition bad for you; all things should be done in moderation, especially first time you try something. We assume no responsibility for anyone's silliness or lack of common sense.
