Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Maribeth, Generally, the racoon eyes, or dark circles, indicate that something is not agreeing with the body (could be a detox reaction, food or chemical intolerance, yeast, phenol intolerance). How long have your been giving enzymes? It *might* be from the papain/bromelain, but it might be a detox reaction. It isn't clear from your message if the enzymes were new or the supps new or both at the same time. >>>> Currently he's taking CLO, Brainchilds Spectrum II, B6 (P5P), Pro-Bio Gold and Primal Defense. In this list, the B6 and Primal Defense stand out as possible offenders. Hold the B6 as it is a big offender for many spectrum people particularly if you have phenol intolerance, toxin loads, or react negatives to artificial additives (B6 is derived from coal-like like artificial additives). If you want to try the B6, dose it slowly and separately. Primal Defense tends to provoke extreme reactions: either someone loves it or they get really ill. Not much inbetween. Don't know why. Do you do epsom salts? That can help with detox. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I just started the enzymes yesterday - the Peptizyde and the Zyme Prime. I'm giving about 1/4 cap. with each meal. He has been on these supplements since March 04 and he seemed to be ok with them - he takes 1/2 of the B6 at night. I stopped all supps about a month ago b/c he had a terrible bout of diarrhea. (though it may have been caused by something in the pool water...). I was about to send in a stool sample but the loose stools stopped. So, now, I am reintroducing each supp to see how each affects him...and actually, the most recent additions have been the Primal Defense and the enzymes. He didn't seem to have this reaction to the PD before?? Do you have any other rec. for another good Pro-Biotic? He also has a cold right now - could that have anything to do...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 My son has had this the last few days also. We are going into our 3rd week on the enzymes but I did just increase the SCD ZP and AFP Pep from 1/2 a cap to a full cap each. I spent about an hour or more searching the archives last night and everything I read either said detox reaction or intolerance. I'm hoping for detox reaction.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 We live in Ohio and right now it is the pollen season. This is the only time of year that some of my kids and me get bad allergic reactions (sometimes asthma). So some of us are looking like raccoons right now. > My son has had this the last few days also.
