Hi, l watch this for self diagnosis and treatment , l have watched other channels and many identified the signs but not the cause and never the treatment. The main thing l got out of Claras vid was that she identified some of the causes of the symptoms and this was a breath of relief, as psychosomatic and environmental factors are best addressed before any medication. Thx and in the future , please oh please please do a vid on how to treat or avoid the discussed symptoms. Thx again, ps l have a long pointy tongue, not especially thick nor thin, a light shade of purple with thick white and some yellow fur, a few red spots at the root....any advice?
