Healing Reactions Versus Allergic Reactions

Whenever a person makes enough positive changes in diet and/or herbs so that the body releases toxins, those toxins can sometimes be felt as a "healing reaction." A healing reaction is NOT the same thing as a side effect of a medication.

A healing reaction can feel uncomfortable, but it is actually a sign that the body is healing itself. As toxic wastes are released from fat cells, liver cells, brain cells, kidneys, and other organs, they go into the bloodstream.

Sometimes during herbal therapy, people can taste in their mouth drugs that they have not taken in many years.This is an indication that old medication residues have been released and are now working their way out of the body.

Many symptoms from the past can temporarily reappear during an herbal cleansing program - fatigue, joint pains, muscle aches, headaches, dizziness, weakness,itching, etc. This is nothing to be concerned about, but rather something to be glad about.

A healing reaction is usually easy to recognize. Initially, symptoms begin to feel better. We feel better and have more energy. During this time, the body is gathering vital energy. It is this energy that the body is going to use to cleanse and heal itself.

Enzyme systems are activated, including not just digestive enzymes, but the very important metabolic enzymes, such as the P-450 enzyme system, the cytochrome oxidase system and glutathione.

These enzymes are responsible for dissolving any foreign substances in the body. With this newfound strength and energy, the body then does what it needs to do in order to get disease out of the way.

It's not always pretty or pleasant, but itis absolutely crucial for healing. The enzymes begin to dissolve, stones,calcium deposits, tumors, bile sludge and otherwastes.

Suddenly,we begin to feel badly again - or even worse than we did originally. This is a classic healing reaction, and it is wonderful! Finally weare able to get into a sick, diseased area that we couldn't reach before with weak, mass marketed products. If we don't stop, but keep on going, we will eventually get to the end of it and be healed once and for all.

This site recommends herbal formulas, but does not take into the account how importantdiet is for healing. The diet eliminates damaging and toxic foods in addition to building nutrients requires by the body in order to affect natural healing and detoxification gradually, in its own time and way.

Pushing the body too hard with cleanses increases symptoms and often causes a great deal more harm than good. However, the reactions discussed in this article apply to good unadulterated foods as well as herbs. The reactions experienced are not allergic reactions. They are healing reactions.]

On the other hand, it is not necessary to have severe healing reactions when weare usually able to reduce them through the use of intestinal cleansing formulas. This is why the first step inany herbal cleansing program is to cleanse the intestines.

This makes way for more advanced herbal healing that might otherwise be very uncomfortable and filled with intensehealing reactions. If taking an herbal formula or green nutritional formula, and unpleasant symptoms occur, it is mostlikely NOT an allergy, but a healing reaction.

In this case, it is important to do the intestinal cleansing formulas more and/or reduce the dose of the formula that caused the problem so that the detoxification happens more slowly and is better tolerated.

Iknew one lady who had a severe skin disease with multiple boils all over her body that appeared from time to time.She drank a spirulina smoothie at the health food store, and broke out in boils all over again.

The spirulina was simply too strong for her to take at that particular time since she had no tfirst begun with intestinal cleansing.Whenever the intestines contain large amounts of toxins, the body wil ltry to rid itself of toxins in other ways besides through the colon.

This usually ends up being a detoxification through the skin which can be very uncomfortable. This is avoidable if intestinal cleansing isdone first. After a thorough intestinal cleansing, one should be able to handle strong detoxifying substances such as spirulina and other herbs without their causing any discomfort

In the case of severe or chronic disease, there may be multiple healing reactions or reactions that are more prolonged. In these cases, it is important NOT TO STOP in the middle of the cleansing process, otherwise, the healing benefits stopand the health issue never clears up.

Most people grossly under estimate the amount of toxins in their bodies. They are impatient to get out of pain whenthey should be focused on cleansing away the toxins that are causing the pain.

Any doctor can prescribe pain medication that relieves pain; however, pain relievers do not cure health issues, but merely force them deeper into the body while giving a false sense of security. Meanwhile, disease continues to worsen unless we have the courage to follow through on a program, experience some unpleasantness while the body is cleansing and readjusting itself.

Toxins donot simply evaporate; they must come out of the body. We cannot expect it to bea walk in the park. However, when the cleansing process is completed, people finally regain their health, strength and vitality.

Rarely,allergic reactions do occur. Some peopleare so allergic to peanuts that they cannot even inhale the aroma of peanuts on an airplane or they will have a severe allergic reaction. For people who have a tendency toward severe allergies, it is best to use small amounts of herbs when trying them for the first time, and always cleanse the bowel first.

It is said that people who are allergic to ragweed should not have chamomile since they are in the same plant family. However, I've been severely allergic to ragweed my entire life, and I've consumed plenty of chamomile without having an allergic reaction at all.

On the other hand, there is one case in the medical literature that describes a woman with a ragweed allergy who consumed chamomile tea and had an allergic reaction. So, individual reactions can vary and caution still applies here.

Allergies in generalare mostly due to internal toxicity that overloads the ability of the immunesystem to function properly. The adrenals are typically weak along with the kidneys, liver and the entire endocrine system.

When these areas of the body are cleansed and nourished, allergic reactions usually greatly diminish or disappear. We have had one client who had severe anaphylactic reactions to vinegar.

After completing one liver cleanse routine, he was no longer allergic to vinegar, and had no further anaphylactic reactions.
