Shelley, ... ... Man, the side effects of all that medicine I took keep coming back to haunt me. This afternoon, I was on the phone having an annimated conversation when I felt myself getting out of control anxiety. It was a pleasant conversation so I am not sure what triggered this. I had this problem most of last year but this is the first time it has resurfaced since doing all this cleaning. ... ... Now, I feel a tightness around my throat, weird aches in my side and my left leg is throbbing around my thigh area. ... ... Any suggestion on how to get my system back in normal/relax mode? ... ... Thanks! ... ...

Yes, your body is reacting to something and causing a kind of fight-or-flight response that is messing with your circulation. You need to go for a walk to even out your parasympathetic nervous system. Drink lots of hydrating drink before and after. [End]

Still, I think you’re taking in plenty of green supplements, you probably need to take in a bit more minerals.

Hiya softballgal! ... ... Liver cleanses are very stressful. It’s best to do absolutely nothing but a very pure diet of wholesome, easy to digest cooked foods for at least two weeks after a flush. What you’re going thru is a typical healing crisis. When you lessen the body’s toxic load, it will dump toxins and right imbalances from way back that perhaps just went deeper into your tissues the first time you had them. Since you’ve had sore throats before that is a strong indication that this is indeed a healing crisis, which is very positive. At most you may want to add kefir to your diet for awh ...

I’d need to see exactly what you did, how much you took and when, to know what you did ”wrong.” :) What do you mean by salt? Did you do a salt water flush? Or Epsom salts? How much oil did you take?

Best thing for you to do now is to drink tons of spicy teas to wake up the digestion, peppermint to will help (see FAQ for TEA post), and to do daily enemas or as many colonics as you can afford.

Tight muscles is not always calcium. It’s more often potassium, magnesium, vitamin D and if the nerves are involved Lecithin.

Oxypowder/Colosan does say that we absorb some of the magnesium as usable magnesium, so that may have been contributing to your magnesium needs. Sweating would definitely deplete you of potassium!

Tight muscles is not always calcium. It’s more often potassium, magnesium, vitamin D and if the nerves are involved Lecithin. If you’re taking lecithin and the cleansing drink 2x a day, then the best supplement would be CalMagFizz, or simply taking in 1 level teaspoon of Epsom Salts in 12 ounces of water. ... ... Best sources of calcium are dark green leafy veggies. That’s one of the reasons I juice parsley as often as possible. You can also munch on cilantro, add kale to your soups, sautee spinach. [End]

It’s usually a lack of good EFA oils such as flax coupled with too few good microbes. So flax and a probiotic!

Yep, they let you know that the detox is working and/or that you have too many freed-up poisons that need an exit path. ... ... Most common healing crisis symptoms are headache, cold/flu like symptoms; fatigue; crankyness or weepyness; visual disturbances; swollen lymphs; fogbrain, insomnia or bad dreams; baggy or red eyes; acne or rash outbreak; a repeat of any symptoms you’ve had in the past as they finally resolve.

Is diarrhoea a die-off symptom? I started getting very bad diarrhoea about 24 hours ago which I thought may have come from either the Sushi or Spirulina I took the day before (as nothing else was different in my new Candida diet I am on), I woke this morning with my first stool being large and mostly solid then about 30 mins later has diarrhoea that was mostly water like and very bad smelling. The only other time I have had bad diarrhoea was after a colonic irrigation and when I ate ’bad foods’ prior to my knowledge of having Candida. I am worried that it may not be die-off but a tummy vir ...

It is probably die-off. Taking spirulina can do that. :) ... ... If it IS a virus, and the doctor wants to prescribe antibiotics, DON’T TAKE THEM! He’s an idiot who’s just trying to pacify you. A virus is not affected by antibiotics. Only infections are. [End]

Hi, ... ... I am on day seven of the master cleanse and doing really really well.. I have had a few cravings, but that I hear is normal..... I am looking at this cleanse in the literal sense of the word.. A lot of emotional stuff is coming up and I feel I am getting rid of all those toxins, if you get my drift!! ... ... I am not liking sitting on the loo for long periods of time, but thank God my flat is small enough to get there quickly!!! ... ...

Hello and welcome to the forum! :) ... ... I love that you’re fasting to get back into touch with your body’s honest needs. That’s one of the times that I recommend a fast, when emotional eating gets out of control. I have a few posts on emotions, anxiety, and how we get programmed that way - and how to reprogram ourselves, be sure to read those posts. :) ... ... While you’re fasting, see about stocking up the pantry with the good stuff you’ll be eating from now on, and throwing out the icky stuff you need to limit from now on (the ideal diet is 80% healthy 20% decadant, no need to cut out fun food ...

Shelley, ... ... I had to laugh when I read this post due to my past horrible experiences at Wendy’s. I am not much for fast food of any kind just because the quality has gotten so poor. HOWEVER, I have had only three experiences ever at Wendy’s - three separate locations: 1) found a fly in my salad, 2) found a spit ball wrapper in my sandwich, 3) had over 15 roaches crawl across the table I was sitting at and onto my tray and food. I let the first two go, but I had to call the District Office on that last one. They said that was typical for downtown restaurants and offered me some coupons ...

Hello there! Hope all is well. ... ... My question is about yogurt. Most of the yogurt at the store is so full of sugar, that really turns me off, so I went for the plain kind which only had 13 grams of sugar, still seems high. That was the lowerst I could find. It’s not bad tasting. I’m just glad to be getting those little guys down in my belly to do some good. Is there a certain kind of yogurt I should be consuming? ... ... I noticed that the plain yogurt seems to separate faster. There’s liquid coming from it consistantly. It’s a little strange, but I’m wondering if it’s important to make ...

Organic yogurt does tend to separate and that’s a good sign that there are no additives like carageenen to manage the consistency. :) You can stir it up, drain it out, whichever you prefer. :) ... ... If you’re eating yogurt mostly for the benefit of the microbes, you may want to consider drinking organic Kefir instead. Kefir has a broader base of types of microbes, about twice as much a variety of good friendlly microbes than yogurt. :) ... ... As long as the yogurt is organic and unsweetened you’re doing your body some good. :) [End]

oh no it’s okay, just can be a bit more questionable. It’s best to avoid those growth hormones whenever possible. But since none of us really eat a LOT of yogurt, it’s not worth always stressing over either. [End]

Aarrrgghhh. Corn oil is a total washout because it’s not that good for you even before it’s cooked. Don’t bother with it. We get way too much corn in our diet as there’s tons of hidden corn syrup in all kinds of products, you’d be surprised. Avoid corn at all times. Save it for when you really enjoy it, like a fresh corn on the cob. :) ... ... I tend to cook with olive oil and safflower. they’re not perfect, but that’s okay, they’re better than most! ... ... Sesame oil is a great oil for medicinal purposes, but it has such a strong flavor you may not want it to change the flavor of favorite recipe ...

Yes, most definitely flush related. Eyes and liver are connected. ... ... If you didn’t do adequate colon cleansing post-flush, the toxins will enter your bloodstream and this can manifest as red eyes. ... ... If your lymph got overloaded by the fats, this can manifest as bags under the eyes. ... ... If you got dehydrated thanks to diarrhea or the Epsom salts, this can mess up the eyes in several ways, including dryness, dark circles, etc. ... ... So ... drink the rehydrating drink, the cleansing drink, do a detox bath, and an enema. That should take care of it! ;) [End]

I read your post, but don’t understand what ”store” name to look under (not to familiar with yahoo stores). Also- is there a particular brand name that is good to get? Is this something a person continues to do everyday as just maintenance, or is this your basic 30 intestinal cleanse? ... ... ... Thank you again! Sincerely, Starlight [End]
