Why?” The reason is that his gut has not healed and he is not absorbing all nutrients so he’s deficient. There’s much more work to do than diet alone. Supplements and detoxification are necessary, but here’s where to begin. The co-infections prevent gut healing too so they must be addressed. (Mold, lyme, PANDAS/strep.
