This Is What It “Doesn’t Do”
It is important to clarify that this is not something that “spreads” like a cold, nor is it a direct consequence of eating poorly. It also does not mean that you will look “sick” from the very first day; in the beginning, many people look completely normal. And most importantly, it does not mean there is no hope.
Modern medical advances have made treatments highly effective, and many people are able to fully recover their health.
