- a.k.a gluten sensitive enteropathy

- presents with diarrhea, oral ulcer, weight loss, growth retardation, abdominal pain and anemia
- associated with dermatitis herpetiformis and IgA deficiency
- increased risk of all GI malignancy, especially small bowel lymphoma and esophageal CA
- diagnosis by IgA anti-endomysial antibodies

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
Nice blog thanks for postinng
