usually get headaches a few times a month, and i believe that they

are almost entirely stress related. these headaches now are dull but

stifle all of my energy. could this be a detox or die off symptom?

I'm guessing the answer is yes, but this many headaches is just so

worrisome!

==>Your headaches are healing / die-off / detoxifying symptoms so

they are nothing to be concerned about. They will decrease over

time.

hurt to take msm when needed? does anyone know how/why this works?

Allergies Folder.

healing sign), is my digestive system. Especially constipation and

gas. Whenever I try to do enemas, which I used to do almost daily

due to severe constipation, my colon aches and burns and nothing

feels right for at least 2 days. i have read much about this and all

the files and tried many ways, I think I do it right. Does anyone

else get this pain following enemas or colonics? Many times I have

sworn that I will never do one again because of the after effects.

==>Enemas should not be done daily, except for short periods of

time, because they will irritate the colon, not allowing it to

normalize and carry out it's normal functions, which are mainly

balancing water and electrolytes (minerals) in the body and the

making some vitamins, etc. Enemas are done 4-5 days apart, not

daily. Also enemas will make your body dependent upon them so it is

dangerous to do them every day. Because of the damage you should

stop doing enemas for a week. If you have constipation on this diet

it is because you are not eating enough good fats in ratio to your

proteins and low carbs. Increase your fats to the ratios

recommended and see the Digestion folder for other suggestions on

Constipation.

The bright yellow color is most likely from the

vitamins you are eating.. most likely B vitamins. The

odor is from ketones, which are a by-product of

burning fat, and are expelled through your urine and

breath.
