Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 We recently began to limit phenolic foods and began giving our son no- Fenol 2X per day. Also some epsom salt baths. He has developed rather severe night sweats which have a foul odor. He also seems to have limited appetite specifically in the evenings. I was wondering if the sweating is some kind of detoxification effect? The no-Fenol seems to have eliminated the red ears and his speech and eye contact seem better. But am wondering if sweating like this is good... or is it some weird side effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Sweating is one of the ways the body expunges toxins from it's system, like urinating, etc. My husband went through this. Lasted about a month. Then went away. night sweats and no-Fenol > We recently began to limit phenolic foods and began giving our son no- > Fenol 2X per day. Also some epsom salt baths.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 >>>He has developed rather severe night sweats which have a foul odor. This is reported commonly enough particularly with detox and No- Fenol. The reduction of the red ears is a good indication supporting this. Skin is one of the main 'ports of entry' for things going into and out of the body. If he is too uncomfortable you can reduce the dose and 'detox' slower. The epsom salts are a great benefit for this. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be a good sign, or it can be that he is now being exposed to something his body needs to detox from. I would give it a few weeks. If things don't get better, consider dropping something. For example, if you are giving lots of B vitamins, and your child now no longer needs them, that can cause the sweating. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
