Re: 1 wk primal defense and fell off boat
I was able to take the PD about a week or two before I also started getting headaches with even the slightest dosage. I talked to my colon hydrocolonist and she said lots of people become allergic to the phyllium.
Most doctors that I have visited seem to offer explanations such as this anytime they don't understand whats going on. Its easy to say, "you must be allergic" rather than admit you have no idea. Personally, I believe reactions we experience to natural products are more along the lines of die-off symptoms, especially if the symptoms are flu-like . I experience headaches alot, and found that this is a result of candida cells, or other cells, releasing toxins into the sinuses or the brain. This will clear up with continued use of the product(s) that caused the reaction.
In the case of taking Primal Defense and experiencing burning throat, I might guess this is due to sinus drainage, which could be a flu-like symptom due to candida die-off. I have candida in my sinuses and sometimes I get a sore throat when my sinuses act up. Usually these symptoms will ease up after 2 or 3 days if you maintain the same dosages.
Someone in this thread mentioned drinking Distilled water. A couple of years ago I read that distilled water is the purest form of water available, and the best. So I started drinking masss quantities. After month or two, I started feeling weak, fatigued, and achy all over. I finally found out that since Distilled water is empty of minerals it actually acts as a magnet and will suck the minerals from our body. I don't know how true this is, but after I stopped drinking it and got back on regular bottled water my health started to improve.
If Distilled water is used at all it should be for mixing juices, or otherwise temporary uses. This is what a Naturopath told me.
