I just looked in the mirror and there are veins either side of my Adam's apple that are pulsing like crazy! Plus, my heart is racing and my pupils are like pin-heads. My skin is pure white, also - I look like an extra from Dawn of the Dead!

I feel as if I have been poisoned. Can someone please give me some sort of advice; I cannot think straight and have no idea what to do.

Thank you.

Hi Continuum Force

Try a pinch of salt in a little water

I'm not doing so swift myself (that's another story) and I'm getting lots of helpful advice here.

I have heard before that cats and dogs are allergic to cocoa, not people. Don't freak out.

Anyhow, I don't know squat, but I would probably go ahead and throw up if you can, do an enema if you can't (make sure the bag and tubing aren't moldy, or you'll really be in a mess) and I would bet you need to flush with lots of good water (with a little celtic or himalyan salt). If you have any green drink, that would probably be good too. People who know more than me will post soon, I'm sure. I'd guess there are some herbs to settle the racing heart. Breathe deep till you hear.

I'm just going by the advice I've gotten just recently--my stupidity went in the other end. I'd say you may be reacting to the caffiene.

hope you are feeling better soon

yup, been there, tho not nearly in that extreme. raw cocoa is powerful stuff and should be consumed in small quantities. i personally get so speedy and high strung that i don't do it at all. its will affect the sensitive a (like me) very intensely. i know its high in caffeine, but i think there are other stimulants involved. i did maybe 1/10 of what you say you consumed, so i can only imagine how you feel. wish i knew something to tell you.


if you hvae any of the calming herbs around that might help, like valerian or skullcap or chamomille or hops or passion flower. as far as the bowels go, well thats your body's way of saying "i have been poisoned and now i must get this s** out of me"

CT:

Main thing is to drink a lot of water to get as much of the causative substance out of your system.

I took a quick google look and it sound like you may have had a bit too much caffeine.

They all suggest not to throw up (??) but one site sugested activated charcoal.

Are you going to the bathroom a lot? Apparently this will continue... So that;s why the need for water is more urgent.

And would venture to guess no purgatives either, as they predict diarrhea will follow.

Please do keep us posted and get well...

Blessings and good thoughts from this end.

My thanks to everyone who responded with their advice and concern.

It is reassuring to know that there are at least a few decent people left on CureZone.

Hope you feel well soon, and though I dont have any experience in this exact scenario, judging from the post you made on the moreless forum the other day, I think in general you *may* be trying to do too much with your cleansing and diet.
(another example - eating a whole cabbage with Sea Salt s as a remedy for this, seems to me way too much!)

Often less is more.

Some deep earth salts with distilled water can go a long way.

Some good digestive teas like dandelion root or peppermint are always helpful for me when I feel Ive consumed too much of something, but I wouldnt suggest these immediately after a large dose of raw fruits.

Above all trust your intuition, as you know. I wish you a quick recovery!
