THE IDEAL REACTION

The ideal reaction is the gradual development of an increased sense of well-being. At first you will notice you do not tire so easily.

As your sense of well-being increases, you might begin to feel more emotionally and psychologically secure. Little things do not bother you as they once did. Your old patterns will begin to change from "grumpy" ones to "happy" ones.

HEALING REACTIONS

However, in a significant minority, a number of uncomfortable reactions might occur as you begin to physiologically balance you body chemistry and revitalize your immune system through the support of cellular communication. It is not easy for your body to adjust overnight to a long history of inappropriate diet. The longer the deficiencies have existed, the more prevalent the response is likely to be. Some of the Corrective / Healing reactions that often can occur are: fever, rash or hives, excessive gas, running nose, headaches, insomnia, increased thirst, weakness, lethargy, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, fever blisters, dry mouth, canker sores, constipation, dizziness, nervousness, and various body aches and pains in joints and muscles. When any of these reactions occur, you can be assured that your body is making positive changes toward an improved state of health.

If you recognize any of these symptoms of the healing crises, it will be easier to accept them as steps on the road to better health. These conditions are a small price to pay for long-lasting benefits.

REASON FOR REACTIONS

Immune Response

When your body is exposed to long periods of emotional, physical, and environmental stress (heavy metal, petrochemical, other chemical exposures) combined with an inappropriate diet, your natural defense system can become compromised and less efficient. When the immune system is restored, the reactions can come in the form of flu-like symptoms.

Toxic Dump

The human body has an amazing cleansing system for dumping toxins that can also become inefficient. Once this natural cleansing system begins working more efficiently, reactions can occur. Toxic reactions are brought about when your cells again start cleaning the stored-up debris from your system, especially in the body fat, this can then work faster than the liver, kidneys, skin, and lungs can remove these toxins from the body. These reactions can include loss of appetite, nausea, headaches, and swelling in various lymph glands throughout the body.

Allergic-Type Reactions

Allergic-type reactions can be caused when the hydrochloric acid in the stomach is deficient and/or when the liver and adrenal glands are in a state of dysfunction or extreme exhaustion. An allergic-type reaction can include skin rashes and shortness of breath.

WHAT TO DO

1. Attempt to drink at least one quart of water, or a combination of fruit and vegetable juices, per 100 pounds of body weight (or portion thereof) per day. This will help flush out the toxins and contribute to the natural cleansing of the kidneys.

2. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and bran from cereals. This can help accelerate the removal of toxins of any type.

3. Include an activity component in your daily routine. Walking for 15/30 minutes is a good place to start. Exercise is another good way to support detoxification.

4. If the reaction is too strong for you to tolerate, you can reduce or even discontinue the supplements for a couple of days, and then gradually build back up to the recommended amounts. This routine may need to be repeated, depending upon the depleted condition of your body and the amount of repair needed at the cellular level.
