not the same at all
there's a differnce here that you are not registering. when symptoms flare due to a healing crisis from flushing or other cleansing, what happens is the person REexperiences symptoms that they've already had. They do not get NEW symptoms. With this drug, the person is GETTING NEW symptoms for the first time. There is no commonality between the side effects that are brought on by a drug and the worsening of symptoms during a healing crisis.
These symptoms that you see in the side effect actigall listing are only the ones that the people that participated in trials EXPERIENCED. they did not make up these side effects out of a hat. People actually got diagnosed with stomach ulcers as a result of taking this drug. Don't compare this to cleansing reactions, it is not comparable in any way. Any drug that causes arthritis and ulcers is dangerous - is an acid - and is toxic. The side effects listed were the "common" ones. The difference with cleansing reactions is that they are due to toxic material on the way OUT, whereas drug side-effects are due to toxics on the way IN.
nobody was attempting to interfere with your right to do as you wish.
Just to give you an idea how nasty pharmaceuticals really are - my brother is the CEO of a drug company, he's a retired (very nice) doctor. He will not take ANY prescription drug - he belives they are poison, only to be used when absolutely nothing else is available. And he makes them for a living for pete's sake.
