DETOX – Your Side Effects Are Worth It!

By on August 8, 2013

 

Hering’s Law states – healing happens from the inside out, the top down, from more important organs to less important ones, from most recent symptoms to oldest symptoms.

 

My last post listed some of the wonderful benefits one can expect to receive by deciding to detox. One must also understand that there may be side effects on their Ageless Aging journey. It is like an onion – You must peel through layers of old symptoms to unveil the new and improved you. The following two paragraphs are snippets from my Client Waiver form. I created this after having two clients get upset for their healing crisis.

 Expect A Healing Crisis

 “You may experience “rough days” (loss of energy, headaches, aches, and pains, etc.). Your eyes may water and your stomach may cramp – this is great! These reactions are simply the body eliminating toxins and reversing aging. Can a sore bottom be expected? You bet! A sore, burning, itching, irritated bottom is nothing to cause you alarm or harm. It is part of the healing crisis – you are getting better and not worse. Excess weight and waste are leaving your body, so discomfort can be expected.

Some cleanses may cause loose watery stools. If you experience loose stools, use caution when passing gas – you may put out more than air. Liquid stools can cause burning and itching. Burning is usually caused from the toxins and itching from possible parasites. Not to worry… be happy you are getting healthier. Drinking a lot of water will help flush away the toxins and side effects sooner.”

Possible Temporary Side Effects and Reactions

  • Cold or flu like symptoms
  • Fatigue
  • Bad Breath
  • Confusion
  • Chills
  • Bouts of diarrhea or constipation
  • Insomnia
  • Nausea
  • Visual or hearing problems (during cleanse only as toxins are being freed from body)
  • Thick-coated tongue
  • Sinus congestion
  • Irritability
  • Lightheadedness
  • Skin odor or eruptions
  • Headaches
  • Aches and pains
  • Foul smelling urine or stools
  • Vomiting
  • Coughing
  • Gas (flatulence)
  • Itchy Skin and/or eyes

also on my Client Waiver…

“Like benefits, side effects and cleansing reactions will vary among individuals simply because no two person’s diets are, or, have been the same since day one of their lives. Different cleanses will rid your body of toxins at different levels, therefore, side effects and reactions are not limited to what are on this list. These side effects are mild when compared to invasive medical treatments that only temporarily “fix” the problem, not the cause.

Preparation Is Key and Crucial For Success

Have some baby wipes handy to help prevent the skin from becoming irritated. It is better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them.  Choose to avoid discomfort – you’ll be glad you did.
