Yes! Internals are a MUST. Without this, you are right.. you are only doing a temporary solution.

With me, the external treatments were really helpful in helping to reduce the yeast and fungus on the skin. Eventually, the stinging and biting stopped and the bugs left. I also made sure I was not re-infecting myself in my environment. I could sleep better after that, but I still was not well. My immune system was still suppressed. I didn't know why. The immune system suppression got me into this mess in the first place. Left me with systematic candida, mold in my skin, mold/pathogenic bacteria overgrowth in my gut. The bugs were there because of the mold and yeast on my skin.

I took lots of vitamins and supplements and natural antifungals ... I chelated out metal. I eventually learned that I had a severe b12 deficiency. No b12 whatsoever was detected in my body tissues (found out via a metal chelation test, all blood tests were fine). Once I started taking b12 shots, my immune system "woke" up... I have no idea how long I had been suffering from b12 malabsorption. I feel this has been a turning point for me in healing. The detox reaction I had from vitamin b12 lasted 2 months, but my body is rapidly healing now.

I am feeling better than I did before I got really sick last spring. My severe depression (that I've had for over 15 years) is lifting WITHOUT Pharmaceuticals. Was this from heavy metals? or toxins? or nutrient deficiencies or a combination of all? After seeing the world of alternative medicine, I am now a firm believer in that if you give your body what it needs, it has an amazing ability to heal itself. I also realize now how important detoxing is to our health!
