maybe your body doesn't react well with a herb in one of those formulas. if it is so bad maybe you should see someone about it.

Whitneay-

Please don't panic. The hives are a sign that you body is try to clear things out faster than your body can expell them. I have had a similar experience and worried about it for a while. Over time the hives will subside as your cleansing continues. Perhaps doing the more agressive cleansing (liver/gallbladder) will be more effective at expelling the toxins.

I am a very experienced insomniac. I have had sleeping trouble for over a year. You will be amazed at how well you can manage without sleep. You feel like crap, but you wont go crazy. As long as the sleep deprivation is not intentional, your body has mechanisms that will allow it to capture sleep and rest in fits and starts if necessary. A couple of sleep recommendations:

Eat a small amount of protein at dinner and eat a carb snack before bed. Will help raise serotonin.

Consider taking melatonin and or GABBA before bed

Stay awake until you are tired enough to sleep. Increasing sleep pressure will force your body to sleep harder/deeper.

Consider taking the serotonin precurser (5htp)

There are other things you can do. Try the above out. Hang in there. It will get better.

Kind Regards,

Scott

Whitneay,

cleansing have put burden on your liver, but as most intrahepatic bile ducts are blocked, liver is unable to discharge toxins through bile ducts.

Liver Flush is the best way to go.


Stop all herbal remedies that you are using, and start doing Liver Flush every day for at least 3 days, and then every few days one, until no symptoms.


After every flush, depend on how you feel, make decision on if you are going to do one more flush the same evening.

Do, Hulda's recipe, but decrease amount of Epsom Salt to 2 tbsp per flush. Use coffee enema in the morning to empty bowel.

Also, do coffee enema at least once a day, or up to twice a day for the next 2 weeks.


If you are juice fasting, make sure that juices are from vegetable or from fruit that you can support.


Do not eat or use anything that could be pottential allergen.

Do not eat or use any industrial product, and that includes chlorinated water, soaps, cosmetics, ...

Avoid all medications, parfumes ...



If you are able, try to increase your physiacal activity.
Sweating helps release toxins.


Make sure you consume a lot of water daily!


Purchase rebounder (mini trampoline) and start rebounding - bouncing several minutes several times a day.



Also, (beside Liver Flush and beside juice fasting) take at least once a day 1 cup of water with 1/2 tbsp of unrefined Sea Salt .

Salt is to insure that your body gets full spectra of minerals and micro nutrients, that you will loose through flushing.



Unrefined Sea Salt contains all minerals human may need, it is composed of over 77 chemical elements (all stable chemical elements present on this planet.)


IT MUST BE UNREFINED, UNPROCESSED (no additives) NATURAL (SUN DRIED)SEA SALT, one that usually is available in healthfood store.


You can also order it online, from several web shops (salt and grain society).


Instead of waiting for your suffering to end by itself, start flushing today, and stop all the herbal remedies.

Post at least one message a day here, to let us know how you are doing. Every now and then, there is someone with similar experience asking for help, and your experience will be of value.

After 3 days, you can try to include herbal remedies one by one, to find if you are unable to tolerate any of those...


The best hebal remedies are pure tinctures and teas that you can make yourself at your home.

Alsom there are few herbs that are extremely safe, like dandelion (leaves and root), nettle (leaves and root), burdock (young leaves and root ).

Use thos herbs, they are easy to find in May, usually on farmes where people have animals.


Also, you can try to take protease enzymes, it helps with digestion and with die-off, in case of candida infection ...

Also, take some proobiotics, to ensure that your intestinal flora survives flushing.

Keep us informed ...

I have had insomnia-type problems for the last few years as well. I am almost positive that it is linked to this liver/GB thing, as I've noticed it change relative to the flush.

Along with the other suggestions, you might try taking 4 Ornithine capsules before bed, or 2-3 Valerian. This has really helped me.

Hang in there...it'll get better.

I'm sorry this has been rough for you. You posted this in 2002 so I hope you got though it ok. For the benefit of people reading this thread like I did and who are starting a cleanse, don't forget the value of dry brushing every morning. I'm going to follow Dr Bernard Jensen s tissue cleanse. I also get hives when I cleanse, so I hope the brushing,a dry sauna and systemic enzymes will do the trick.
