How do I know if I need a cleanse?

[Guest guest]

I'm new to this and wondering how do i know if I need a cleanse and

is there any side effects if had one while I really don't need it?

I am taking thyroid and cortef and other natural hormones to balance

my hormones. Can I do the cleanse while I'm on those medications?

thanks.

I personally feel....unless your are gravely ill and/or have too

large of a " hardened " stone to pass...that everyone one could benefit

from some from of this kind of cleanse. Keep in mind that 2 things

used inthis diet are often found in LARGE quanities in the middle

eastern and southern eruopean diets. These diets are designed,

though many generation of observation, to naturally and continuely

flush their systems.

Side effects are often more likely to be because you needed the

flush...not because you don't need it. Yes, there can be side

effects while the oil is going through your system...which is why it

is advised to do it on a day you have nothing planned.

That is something you would have to decide for yourself. No one on

this list can advise you what you should, or should not do, without

sounding like their are trying to be a doctor. After 2 years of

doing the flushes and being a part of this list, (though I must admit

I haven't been logging in as much as used to....since it is kind

of " not a problem " anymore :~), I can say I have not heard of any ill

effects from doing the flushes and taking medications. The only real

concern that may pop up seemd to be a possible decrease in the

effectiveness of the medications taken...or an increase in thyroid

function causing a possibility of symtoms of over medicating. Again,

not proven, just possibilities that " might " happen.

For your thyroid...if you still have one...you might want to look at

trying extra virgin coconut oil. I believe you can find a

group about it. I have heard a lot of good things about the VCO

balancing out thyroid function. All of my possible thyriod

dysfuction symptoms cleared up with the flushes and changing my food

intake to raw food sources...which included VCO and untoasted or

boiled sources of seaweed and sea salt.
