Re: My husband's Cleanse on Labor Day Night

September 9, 2006

Hi Group,

My husband I both have been going to a Naturopath and he had us on a cleanse

he sells for the colon and also for parasites...... he gave us a GB cleanse

recipe to use after we used this cleanse for several weeks. My husband tried the

cleanse on Monday Night and woke up and went to the bathroom and felt nauseous

and while sitting on the toilet he got dizzy and passed out and broke his

nose.........(he had surgery yesterday to set it back in place).

My question is why would he pass out on the cleanse, he had no pain whatsoever

and he has never had a GB attack. The naturopath said he had gall stones by

looking at his eyes using Iridology. The recipe he used was 1 cup of Olive oil

instead of 1/2 cup that I use..........could the amount of oil have the effect

of making someone so ill they pass out? I did go and talk to our Naturopath and

ask him about this he said the amount of oil wouldn't cause that and he had

never heard of anyone having that effect. My husband is on Actos for diabetes

but his sugar is always under control and I'm wondering if possibly he could

have passed out from a low blood sugar episode caused by fasting that day and

only drinking apple juice. He has never had a low blood sugar episode

before...........and he does fast periodically for religous reasons.

Thanks, Dee

Im sorry to hear that. Boy you try to help yourself and get a broken

nose. Owie. I bet it was the low blood sugar, maybe the oil reacted

to it? You have to be careful on any cleanse. The thing is you are

fasting and not getting normal nutrients into your body. Your

eliminating liquids from your body. He may have been dehydrated. I

would seriously get his potassium checked and make sure it is okay.

He may need some supplementation. I hope you didn't have black

liquoris root in anything you took? It is SEVERLY dehydrating.

Check the ingredients of the cleanses you were taking. If it is in

there he may need a few IV's or potassium pills. You don't want that

to drop and if it is already down your prone to strokes and heart

attacks and age does not matter.

I will say we don't even suggest doing strict cleanses for our

thyroid people anyone taking any kind of drugs must always look at

the consquences when you disrupt that drug in your blood stream.

Diabetics must always keep a constant blood sugar level.

Any type of disruption in their diet can cause low or high blood

sugar and it's totally important to know this and be prepared.

You will have to figure out a way to modify the flush so this

doesn't happen again.

Even regular people must be careful not to lose essential

electrolytes when they flush!!! I am really sorry this happen to you

but it could of been worse---please get proper advice on this before

you try it again.

_and_lows/

Blood sugar levels that are too high or too low can quickly turn

into a diabetic emergency without quick and appropriate treatment.

The best way to avoid dangerously high or low blood glucose levels

is to self-test to stay in tune with your body and to stay attuned

to the symptoms and risk factors for hypoglycemia, diabetic

ketoacidosis, and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome.

Low Blood Sugar Emergencies (Hypoglycemia)

Hypoglycemia is sometimes called " insulin reaction " because it is

more frequent in people with diabetes who take insulin. However, it

can occur in either type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and is also commonly

caused by certain oral medications, missed meals, and exercise

without proper precautions. The typical threshold for hypoglycemia

is 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l), although it may be higher or lower

depending on a patient's individual blood glucose target range.

Symptoms include erratic heartbeat, sweating, dizziness, confusion,

unexplained fatigue, shakiness, hunger, and potential loss of

consciousness. Once a low is recognized, it should be treated

immediately with a fast-acting carbohydrate such as glucose tablets

or juice.

High Blood Sugar Emergencies (DKA or HHNS)

Extremely high blood glucose levels can lead to one of two

conditions — diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic

hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS; also called hyperglycemic

hyperosmolar nonketotic coma). Although both syndromes can occur in

either type 1 or type 2 diabetes, DKA is more common in type 1 and

HHNS is more common in type 2.

Hi Dee,

I don't know how much experience your Naturopath has had with

flushes, but I for one would " never " recommend someone with diabetes

fast, especially on applejuice--- and one cup of oil for someone

flushing for the first time is " alot " --- many people puke with that

much the especially the first time---As s Moritz (The Amazing

Liver Flush---see link below) considers Liver Flushing as " minor

surgery " ---something not to be taken lightly---there are many

variables to consider if you want a successful liver flush---

http://www.ener-chi.com/books.htm

Perhaps your husband would do better with a gradual flush, or one

that allows him to eat---there are many variations out there---

www.curezone.com has a few to choose from---

hth,
