I'm wondering if it is due to the great amino acids, enzymes and vitamins contained in the bee pollen that is helping your body to heal. Here is a listing of the amino acids found in this article:

Thanks again for sharing - I might need to start making my homemade sauerkraut again too! My husband hates it cause it makes our whole basement smell like kraut! :)

Are the cows feet from pastured cows?

Thanks for your story. I am raw vegan, so agree with animal protein being hard on body.

Sounds like part of the progress is due to the liver/bile situation - gray stools are a sign of lack of bile which plays an important role in digestion and actually can kill microbes in the gut by itself. Furthermore a congested liver will just make you plain sick. Good job.
