Re: Liver cleanse overload on immune system?
Hi, Thanks for asking...
Toxins that are released during a cleanse can show themselves in a multitude of different ways. Did you start with a colon cleanse? This is always a good idea as it give the toxins a place to exit the body. I always suggest that a cleanse begins with the colon, then the lymphatic system, and then the liver. This allows your body to prepare itself for the onslaught of toxins that will be released from the liver. This method also reduces or elimates the sluggish, flu like symptoms that are so commonly associated with internal cleansing.
The symtoms you are describing lead me to believe you may have a candida over-growth problem as well. Itchy ears, swelling, flakey rash are all typical signs of candida over-growth. Candida over-growth is connected to an improperly balanced diet. Most diets here in the US are very acidic. Processed foods, refined sugars, artificial food additives etc. Most dairy, cheese, meat, fish, eggs, and breads contribute to this condition.
Foods that are more alkaline are dark green leafy vegatables, most fruits, seeds, nuts, beans, and herbs. You can look online for a more complete list. If you have trouble finding a complete list-let me know and I'll find one for you. Go for a balanced diet!
Most candida over-growth is caused by diet. So consider a change in diet and a good supplement to help you get back on track.
Candida is very common. I know there are forums covering this condition. You may want to check these sources out as well.
Let me know if this helps.
Namaste
