As I read your post I could not stop asking my mind how many times we are exposed to harmful substances and how they affect us and sometimes we do not know that they are the cause of our ills.
Thank you for sharing your experience which will undoubtedly help others to read and meditate on it.
I love taking curcuma with ginger and lemon, I quickly feel its anti-inflammatory effect and in my case toning the digestive system.
Keep staying active!
