Hey, guys, before we start the official podcast today, I just wanted to share something that bothered me.

Unfortunately, they came into my line of the site this morning.

This was a, you know, for our website, people can submit

questions, you know, prospective patients can submit patient-related questions. And I don't typically

see these. They're filtered by my office staff, but I stumbled across one today, and I wanted to share it because I think it illustrates an important point.

So I'm just going to read this.

Hi, I'm a 21-year-old who has been sick with SIBO, severe malabsorption, parasites.

I have severe constipation, belching, bloating, fatigue, very low weight, extremely low weight,

depressed, sad, anxious to get my health back and I have no energy. I'm very weak.

These are, you know, typically the grammar is not great on these things. So I'm not missing words.

This is exactly as it's written. I can't tolerate 80% of all foods and I just feel I want to die. Sebo overgrowth has ruined my life. Can you help me heal and get my, get back my health without Cbo returning? I don't have much money as I'm still in college. In fact, I can't even college anymore I can't concentrate can't think can't even walk I get tired very easily I am

very weak I don't know how I can heal I'm working with a naturopath already but

there's still constipation and bloating I really don't feel much better please
