Re: picky itches all over anyone?

[Guest guest]

Hi Tina,

Those itchy, prickly, tingling feelings are typical healing reactions. I

believe that Bee has pointed out to you that when toxins are coming out, they

can cause you to feel this way.

I still get itchy from time to time for what seems like no apparent reason, but

you just have to have faith in the program and understand that if you are

following the program to a T, then any and all reactions you are having are

proof that it is working and that your body is working really hard to heal

itself.

I'm just curious what else you are eating along with your coconut oil. Remember

not to increase your coconut oil too quickly, even though you like the taste,

because it cause you to have more healing reactions than necessary. Going too

quickly can also overwhelm your body and cause it to stop healing altogether.

As Bee always says: " More is not better. " This isn't a race, so don't try to

rush. You should tolerate one dose for at least 5 days before you increase it.

I'm very glad to hear that you are feeling better from stopping the Pro C. I'm

sure your body will balance that out over time.

Hang in there!

Because of my so many food 'intolerances' any reaction scares me a bit. I did

not react much at all today eating, but an hour after my lunch, I've been having

a building feeling of picky itches all over. everywhere like stomach, chin, on

fingers, under rt foot at one spot where I've been having itch problems on and

off since I became ill.

Hi Tina.

It was interesting that you mentioned about getting itches under your right foot

I have had itches on and off under my feet for some years. I used to get it in

the centre of my right foot for a while and along the edge of my left heel too.

Interestingly, when I checked the Reflexology chart, both areas were connected

to parts of my body I have had problems with - the section in the centre of my

foot was connected to my stomach and pancreas, and the area along my left heel

is connected to my colon.

Since being on Bee's diet (one year) both lots of itching have gone away as my

body is healing. I also had an interesting episode three years ago shortly

after going gluten-free. I was sat on the sofa in the living room and suddenly

got a sharp pain under my left foot. It equated with a sore feeling in my left

side and I could feel lots of stuff going down my 'tubes'.

I went and checked the reflexology chart, and sure enough the pain in my foot

equated with the liver. I suspect that having had a lot of the stress removed

with the removal of gluten (and dairy) from my diet, my liver took the

opportunity to have a good old clear-out.

The pain in my foot was pretty intense coming every 30 seconds or so and

building up to a climax before fading away (like a birth pain LOL). Gradually

over the day it improved and within a couple of days it had gone and the

soreness disappeared in my side from my liver.

I get quite a bit of itching here and there as my body is healing, but itching

can also be associated with toxins. For me it tends to be associated more with

healing, so I don't mind it at all and view it as a positive thing.

Years ago I also used to get a very itchy back - just inside my left

shoulder-blade. that eventually stopped but recently it has returned. An

acupuncturist told me recently that the shoulder-blades are linked on a meridian

with the small intestine. The gluten has done a lot of damage in my gut and the

itching could well explain that - the first lot as it got worse, and now being

revisited as it is healing. That itching started when I was in my 20s and I am

now well past 50 so to heal all that is going to take at least 3 years! But at

least I am working towards health now rather than degeneration.

I now get quite a lot of 'picky itches' in my back as my body is trying to sort

itself out. It's all associated now I believe, with my pancreas, spleen and

liver, which have all had a huge clear-out in the last two or three months.

Again, I view this as part of the healing process. Not necessarily pleasant -

but then no one said that the healing hourney would be an easy one!

As Bee says, disease processes are identical to healing ones, so it can be a bit

disconcerting sometimes when you are not sure what is happening. The body is

constantly trying to maintain an equilibrium despite the damage being inflicted

on it and it can only do that in certain ways - so they are often identical as

it works to undo the damage.

I hope that as you progress in Bee's diet and your body starts healing your

symptoms will eventually abate.

Regards, Ali.

+++Hi Tina,

and Ali gave some wonderful advice and feedback!

That's great your legs are better!

I'll just say that after you get all of the correct supplements and have taken

them for awhile you aren't completely on the program yet, so a few things will

be unpredictable.

So hang in there and keep on keeping on! Your body knows its job very well and

will come through for you too!

Onward & Upward, Bee

[Guest guest]

thanks , just seeing this now. I am not accustomed to the layout of this

message forum yet.

I did notice that even starting the other NOW Vit c, calc & magn, that I got

very intense burning picky itches all over, and I believe the seizing was

returning in my leg muscles along with strong restlessness.

Also, I guess Idid increase my coconut oil too fast then. I went from 1/4 tsp

3-4x a day to about 3-4 tbsp in aabout a week!

IS that way too fast for everyone?

I perhaps should cut back ?

I eat several types of meat, and non starchy veggies well cooked typically, and

just water, always some celtic salt.

thank you,

Tina

Going too quickly can also overwhelm your body and cause it to stop healing

altogether. As Bee always

[Guest guest]

Hi Tina,

I understand. It takes a while to get used to this format and to get used to

how it works. You'll get there!

Restlessness in your legs is often because of toxins being mobilized. I think

it's a good sign since it means that your body is working at clearing those

toxins. I know it's not always pleasant to feel the symptoms, but if you can

recognize that those symptoms mean that you're getting better (not worse) you'll

feel better about the process.

Wow! You went up to 3-4 Tbsp. in a week! That is way too fast for most people.

Going so fast like that can cause you to have a lot of unnecessary reactions.

Also, going so quickly can be incredibly overwhelming on your body and can even

stop your body from healing. It took me 6 months to get up to 6 Tbsp.

Take your time with upping your coconut oil It is not a race and in the

meantime, you still need to be able to function in your day-to-day life, so try

to find the balance between having some healing reactions and being able to

function. It's not a race.

You should probably go back down to 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp three times a day and then

increase it ever 5 days if you are able to tolerate it (meaning not getting too

many healing reactions). If you can't tolerate, wait another day or two before

increasing again.

Hope that helps!

Thanks , that helps a lot.

I guess that's what is meant by healign reactions? Most people talk about

headaches or flu like feelings.

Is there a list somewhere of typical healing reactions from coconut oil that

includes all this crazy burning itching stuff?

Just reassuring to have a resource to read where it has commonly happened to

many people.

I will cut back, I didn't realize I had to go up that slowly at all!

Everything on me itches, and it's more constant now, and it's maddneing b/c it's

not just on my skin but sort of under and inside my body, and on nerve endings!

Plus lots of skin burning all over too.

Is there something besides drinking water and taking baths that I can do to

excrete these mobilized toxins?

Like sodium alginate, bentonite (not recommended I believe)

Hi Tina,

Don't take sodium alginate or bentonite. Epsom salts baths are good and so is

doing dry skin brushing. I think decreasing your coconut oil will really help

you feel better. Don't drink too much water because it will cause you excrete

minerals. Just drink according to your thirst.

I don't believe that there is a list of healing reactions that people typically

experience on Bee's site. For the most part, if you are following Bee's diet

and taking coconut oil (even if you're only taking 1/2 tsp three times a day)

any symptoms you are experiencing are healing reactions. So as you can imagine,

the list would very long!

+++ Hi Tina

Bee's site has a great search engine (and we're thankful that the search engine

works on , too).

I typed in " detox " in the upper right hand corner of any page on Bee's site and

it brought up this article:

" How to Detoxify Effectively "

<http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/detox.php>

I'm sure when you joined you were sent a couple of articles to read and one

would have included coffee enemas, which you could try:

<http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/enema1.php>

here is another part of an article you were sent upon joining:

<http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php#b10>

It would lead you to a " retracing, healing reaction " article:

<http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal10.php>

Hang in there. Keep reading. It'll start to piece together and make sense to

you.

+++Hi Tina,

Reading Success Stories gives you a great list of symptoms and reactions people

have had that they are reporting are gone!

The list of healing reactions are exactly the same list of reactions you got

while you were going downhill and becoming more and more unhealthy.

There are a few common reactions since the body is fairly consistent producing

some kinds of detoxifying reactions. There are some reactions and symptoms

unique to each person, which depends upon what systems, functions, organs, etc.

were involved, including the amount of toxins, how much deterioration occurred,

what major organs were involved, age, nutritional status acquired from parents

on conception, and so on and on.

Also, you can get new symptoms and reactions you didn't have in the past. That

is because your body becomes " more able " to heal and detoxify itself. It may

utilize outlets and create symptoms for getting rid of toxins it was not able to

use before, and it will also be able to repair and rebuild areas it did not have

the resources for healing.

I suggest you make a list of your past symptoms and reactions so you can see

what you will be experiencing on this program at you heal and detoxify.
