James,
Your girlfriend is very fortunate that she has someone that is willing to take the time and effort to research possible causes and ask questions on her behalf. Unfortunately, medical testing is not always definitive as to the root of the problem. In reality, there are probably many different conditions that need to be explored. If it is possible, I would highly recommend working with a natural practitioner that is experienced in difficult cases such as these. A chiropractor, naturopath, or like-minded physician can run some different tests and will most likely use some different diagnostic techniques than will a conventionally-trained M.D.
Beside this, there are several things that you can do in order to help her rid her body of toxins and support her nutritionally. First, it is always a good idea to perform a colon cleanse with an oxygen-based colon cleanser in order to make sure that the main pathway of elimination is functioning well. Oxy-Powder is an excellent product for this purpose and can also help to provide some additional oxygen to the body. Second, a liver/gallbladder flush, or series of flushes, can aid in the elimination of gallstones and old toxins that are trapped in the liver. This can reduce the overall toxin burden on the body and improve bile flow, which can help with the digestion of fats. The liver is one of the body’s main filters and deserves to be cleaned out every once in a while. After this, she can undertake a parasite cleanse to help eliminate various types of organisms that may be robbing her of necessary nutrients and polluting her system with toxic by-products. A protocol for this can be found at

• Watch the diet: Many people have food sensitivities that can result in some of the symptoms that you describe. It may be difficult to tell as some of these can be delayed-onset and she may not notice a reaction until several hours later. If processed sugars tend to set her off, I would try to eliminate these as much as possible. Try to eat fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, raw nuts and seeds, and organic meat for the majority of the diet. Pay special attention to any patterns that may emerge from eating certain foods. If you suspect that a certain food or type of food contributes to her symptoms, eliminate it for a while to see if that helps. Watch any foods that contain grains such as wheat, oats, barley, etc. Be sure that is well-hydrated and drinks at least ½ her body weight in ounces per day.
• Try enzymes: The body in designed to be supplemented with enzymes that aid in the digestion of food and bodily repair processes. Ideally these enzymes would come from foods that are consumed as well as from the body’s own production. Unfortunately, many of the foods that we eat are depleted of vital enzymes, and we need these in order to complete digest our food and derive the nutrients from them. Zymitol is an excellent product for this purpose.
• Supplement with basic nutrients and super foods: It is important to provide the body regularly with the necessary vitamins and minerals so that it can use them to form co-enzymes and co-factors that are required for all metabolic processes. Two excellent products for this purpose are Intramax and E3 Live. The bruising could possibly be related to deficiencies in certain nutrients.
• Test for Candida: Try a free candida test at the following link:

• Try a probiotic: Certain types of bacteria can be very important for intestinal health. Latero-flora contains beneficial bacteria that can help to combat various types of bad bacteria and fungus that can invade the digestive tract.
• Consider using Oxygenator or Silver Fuzion™ on a maintenance basis: Both of these products can be used for immune support and should be taken according to the directions. They should not be taken together at the same time if both are used.
Please keep in mind that all of the above suggestions can be used by nearly anyone that is simply trying to stay healthy.
