Hi, Helen,

It is so good to hear from you and I am so sorry for what you have
been through. KEY QUESTION: Lisa Marie says her night sweats and
fever return when she eats sugar, potatoes, complex carbs and
disappear when she does simple carbs. Would it be worth it to try
this for a couple of weeks and see if that will finally end your
fever? Sometimes the answers to really tough questions are elegantly
simple. I am hoping that this will be so for you. See her posting
below.

All the best
