Re: after surgery To Patty,

[Guest guest]

- I'm struggling with the same thing - having a hard time

forgiving myself for taking my health for granted, and trusting a

corporation (who made the implants) with my health. I just realized

I haven't purchased anything for detoxing yet, although I think I

just wanted to get past the surgery itself before I started detoxing.

Hi ,

Herxing is the effect upon your body while going through detox that

makes you feel worse instead of better. It is because toxins are

released into the bloodstream at a rate faster than they can be

removed, and so you experience the effects of those toxins being

released in a negative way. It can last a few hours to a few days.

It's not fun, and sometimes you begin to wonder if the detoxification

effort is making you worse instead of better. So, on the one hand it

is a good sign! It means that your detoxing is working! On the other

hand, it can mean that you need to cut back and let your body take a

rest while it recovers.

Detox efforts are worthwhile endeavors that can take the form of

lifestyle changes that are long lasting (such as changing your diet to

exclude hydrogenated oils), or events that you undertake for a short

period of time with specific organs in mind, (such as a liver flush).

As for a step by step process, it would be hard for me to put that

together (although I would love to try!) because each individual will

experience different zones of comfort regarding the therapies that are

undertaken. For instance, if you want to target the liver for

detoxification, you can do something simple such as taking herbal

pills, or you can get very involved with something like a liver flush

or coffee enemas. Different people will be willing to try different

things. You will need to tailor your program to one that works for

you. But there are most definitely steps that can be taken in general

by all, such as starting with eliminating certain foods, moving on to

including other healthy food items, and then targeting the digestive

system for a cleansing to make sure that elimination is up to par.

Once that is done, you can move on to the various eliminative organs

to help clean them up one by one or simultaneously...the kidneys, the

liver, the skin, the lungs.

Here is a good website to get you started on detoxing ideas:

I hope this is helpful to you!

Wishing you all the very best!
