Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I would like to recommend taking benadryl when you have a reaction. This is because if your body goes on making histamines you could get hyper sensitive. This means your body will later say oh wait a minute that compound is related to the thing I had a reaction to so we need to get it too!This will help control your body having a more severe reaction in future detoxing.Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 On the other hand, isn't the whole point of Alternative Medicine to get away from all the pharmaceuticals? zoe > I would like to recommend taking benadryl when you have a reaction. > This is because if your body goes on making histamines you could get > hyper sensitive.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 If you are experiencing a true allergenic reaction, I may tend to agree with you. However if the symptoms are from a " Healing Crisis " than one would want to suffer through it and treat by decreasing the amount of kombucha tea and increasing the amount of pure water intake. The duration of the healing crisis should be short term, typical only a few days. In a Healing Crisis your body is not responding to the introduction of kombucha tea but rather to the sudden release of the stored toxins. Your body had these poisons contained, therefore there was no " known " affects prior to the introduction of kombucha Benadryl should not be used while pregnant or nursing. And used in caution for those over 60. Should not be given to children under 6 years of age. (USFDA) As a side theory, an alternative to benadryl would be to find someone who is actually true allergenic to kombucha tea and to make a homeopathic nosode. Taking the nosode would achieve the same effects you expressed.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Thank you Ed, Yes , I am well over 60 so its a good thing I have dropped that method of treatment from my routine. and decreasing the KT and increasing the water is exactly what I did during my time of " crisis " . Allergies, as you have so clearly stated are another matter altogether, but Im here to tell you that the medical model of how to treat an Allergy would be the quickest form of DEATH for me. I am missing the enzyme that allows the body to recover from adrenaline spikes, and guess what the standard treatment for allergies is? You guessed it EPENEPHRINE ! Results for me is pushing the limits for massive heart failure. This is just one of Many reasons why I chose the Alternative Model quite some time ago- but as I stated in my last post it has come gradually and in stages. Our body is designed quite well to heal itself. We just have to get out of its way and allow it to do its job. MOST of what modern medicine does is to actually interfere with the healing process not enhance it. zoe > If you are experiencing a true allergenic reaction, I may tend > to agree with you.
