Re: Awful side effects of Alinia question

[Guest guest]

Lee Cowden promotes using Burber and Parsley by nutramedix to lessen herx

reactions. I haven't tried it yet but will definitely get some. He recommends 8

drops in 1/2 cup of water every 10 minutes until you feel better. I tuned into

his Webinar this weekend and whenever I get around to writing up my notes I'd be

happy to post them here.

Hi Beth,

We've never used Alinia but for herxing we use activated charcoal capsules 2

hrs on either side of medication, detox baths and drink lots of lemon

water. The activated charcoal is also great for gas, intestinal problems

etc... I also use peppermint oil mixed with a carrier oil - usually rub it

on the tummy and it works like a charm!

Hi Beth --

I started Alinia and had a horrible reaction in being unable to breathe due to

spasm in esophagus for several days. Fun times. It passed and Alinia really

got me to a new level of functionality. I would say stay with it but be

prepared for some major herxing (the worst I've had). It really routs the bugs.

Margaret, Is that 8 drops of each? I have some Parsley but wasn't sure what to

do w/ it.

Beth, drink lots of water w/ a slice of lemon in it. Also, Epsom Salts baths w/

1+ cups of the salts. Hope you feel better soon.

take care,

Elaine
