This was a very important story to share, and can relate it to myself and people in my life. My daughter suddenly refused to eat meat around the age of 11. At the same time she ate carbs and junk food to fill the gap. She started to get unhealthy which was exacerbated by the jabs. We spent a lot of time at the natural MD office which offered no real analysis. I always thought the sudden switch to carb diet was significant. Then she was given the flu mist by her pediatrician (Which has since been pulled off the market.) At that point she got eosinophilic esophagitis and was eventually diagnosed with fibromyalgia. A super smart baccalaureate who is also an empath, it has severely affected her range.

Thank you for sharing your poignant story too. It touched my heart and is clear how much you care for your daughter and how hard you have worked to support her through these challenges. The connection you noticed between her dietary changes and her health is insightful and highlights how important it is to look at the bigger picture. Your daughter sounds strong and gifted emotionally, and it is clear she has a loving parent by her side. I hope you both continue to find ways to improve her health and well-being. Stories like yours remind us all of the importance of understanding and persistence.

Heartwarming! I can relate to the frustration of watching an adult child ruin his health. My older son has appalling eating habits.

Thank you for sharing this valuable health information. My son has struggled with depression since he was 12. Doctors threw medications at him instead of addressing the root of his problem, which was very likely physical. He's always struggled with his weight. He is now 46 and living homeless in California. I am thousands of miles away and can only pray for him. I wish I had known better and taken better care of him as a child. As a single mom at 17, I was clueless. I worked two jobs, and fast food was cheap and easy. I'm sure I'm not the only one who regrets past mistakes with my boy.

Dear Charisse, your story deeply moved me, and I am truly sorry that you and your child had to face such a difficult experience. It is heartbreaking to see our children go through suffering, especially when we know that some of it might have been preventable or reversible. I hope you can find some peace in knowing that you cared deeply for him then, just as you do now. I am sending you my warmest thoughts and prayers for you and your son. I believe that sharing stories like yours can inspire and help others in similar situations.

Thank you for sharing your sensitive story publicly. Mental health issues like depression and suicidal ideations are not limited to the under privileged. Speaking openly like this helps remove the shame. There is a dissonance between the mind and body. Suicide is preventable.

Thank God your son went to you and knew he could trust and depend on you for support.
