If you are currently taking any other supplements, herbs, or other treatments, it is advisable that you gradually go off of them. Any treatments that interfere with " proper nutrients, " particularly hormones, drugs, other kinds of supplements or even herbs will slow or stop the healing processes. The reason is because too many unnecessary supplements, other kinds of treatments, toxic drugs and hormones, will interfere with the natural healing processes. That is because your body is just like you when you have too many things coming at you at once. Like you, your body will become confused and overwhelmed, not knowing what to do. This can cause your body to go into apathy and not do anything. In other words, it will stop the healing process. Many supplements, herbs, extracts, and other natural substances are recommended by some naturopaths, dieticians, and other healthcare practitioners because they do not know or understand what constitutes a " truly " good nutritious diet. Consequently they recommend many things that are easily obtained from this diet. Your body is smart enough to balance out all of its nutrient and nutrient levels if it is given the basic " proper nutrients, " which is what this diet and the supplements recommended provide. Remember that " More Is Not Better. " Many healthcare practitioners, although well-meaning, treat specific symptoms and disorders, much like doctors do with drugs. They may perscribe extracts to treat the thyroid, adrenal glands, and so on. However this often causes more harm than good. That is because such substances can throw off already delicate hormone balances. Therefore the focus must be on treating the " cause " and not the symptoms. Also, as the body heals and the immune system becomes stronger all of the organs throughout the body will begin to normalize. However, if you are taking hormones or other nutrients, like iodine or medications for the thyroid, or adrenal hormones it will throw those organs into a tizzy; so they won't be able to recover and function normally. Instead its functioning will become extremely erratic and unpredictable. Most " extra " supplements are totally unnecessary, often causing adverse side effects or they are a waste of money. A good example of this are iodine supplements like Lugol's, as well as kelp, seaweed and other green supplements. Not only are many green supplements too strong for sick people to handle, often overwhelming the body, but they also contain too much iodine. Iodine is only required in trace amounts (minute amounts) and all of your body's requirements can easily be met by eating butter, by taking at least 1 teaspoon of a " good " ocean sea salt per day and by drinking natural water. The fact is that too much iodine causes just as much damage to the thyroid as too little. " Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
