Q: More adverse reactions to UNDA numbers?

[Guest guest]

Hello Colleagues,

I have another patient experiencing adverse effects to unda numbers and wanted to discuss this with the group.

This patient has a history of hypothyroidism and is currently on Synthroid. She has had years of gastric pains, there is a lot of GI distress from the upper to the lower GI tract. She experienced severe RUQ pains that radiated to her back and shoulder at one point and she thought she had cholecystitis or some GB issue but all results came back negative. She did a gallbladder flush herself and it worked beautifully, much of her pain disappeared. She came to see me because she still experiences a lot of gastric problems, she is generally nervous and anxious, and energy is low.

I've been having her do her BTGs for about a month before I decided to put her on the unda drainage. We started the 2nd month on the global drainage because I wanted to address the LV/GB + HTHY+. After just about 2 weeks of being on the HTHY, she began to experience hyperthyroid symptoms which she has never experienced before. I was quite thrilled and I told her to see her MD to cut down her dosage (which her MD reluctantly did).

However, shortly after starting the undas, she began feeling a knawing feeling in her epigastric region, and she became very very sensitive to everything she ate. The moment she ate something that was even slightly fattening (not fried or anything obvious), she'd start having a lot of epigastric discomfort. Everyday, she has to eat 1 orange, and just a sip of coffee in order to have a bowel movement. Despite taking 2 tbsp of ground flax seeds daily, lemon with water, COP, she still needs to rely on those 2 things. In the last 2 days, she developed a violent reaction when she took her flax seeds with the sip of coffee which she normally does. She started having cold chills, shivering, a lot of gastric pain to the point where she had to induce vomiting twice.

She also began developing facial acne and oily skin in the last month.

I have already told her to dilute the remedies, and I'm considering moving onto numbers that deal with the spasms and the NS more next month. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations and thoughts regarding this case. Is it the sensitivity to the alcohol? or is the global too strong? the patient understands that the body is trying to rebalance itself but also, I'm not too happy with the number of adverse reactions and she has a nervous tendency as well. Any suggestions my friends?

Seems as if the GI tract is not ready for drainage yet. Maybe the thing to do is focus the prescription of undas on the systems that are already strong, the ones that seem to need the least help, in order to facilitate drainage through the organs that can handle it. THEN go back to global drainage. Alternatively, and more along the lines that you were thinking about, #219 (global spasms) sounds like a decent idea, mb with #24 (GI distress dt imposing nervous system). Finally, I would guess that despite her hx of hypothyroidism, it seems her endocrine system is pretty strong. If just one month of HTHY was able to bring about a reaction, then her endocrine system is in fairly good shape, and the source of her problems dont like with the thyroid. Her hypothryoidism probably arose as her system demanded "adjunctive support" from her thyroid

gland. Keep us posted, Klamath Falls, OR Chan wrote: Hello Colleagues, I have another patient experiencing adverse effects to unda numbers and wanted to discuss this with the group.
