detoxification vs allergic reaction/imbalance

[Guest guest]

How does one distinguish an allergic reaction/inbalance form a

detoxification?

 

 

I Started eating better and taking Flor -Essence for " gental detox "

(contains burdock root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm bark, water cress,

rubarb root, kelp,blessed thistle and red clover) for 3 days. I had

been taking less than half the recommended dose to start off " easy " .

 

Now experencing intense joint pain (which I never had before) and

symptoms a lot like gout (never had that either), in my big toe.

 

I do know that rubarb has oxalic acid and oxilic acid can participate a

gout type reaction.

 

How do you guys on this list distinguish a detoxification from an

inbalance or disease?

I am just an average joe interested in alternative health. My

experience has been that:

 

1. Detox symptoms are often symptoms that you have experienced

previously.

 

2. Detox symptoms will get better with time, while an imbalance

usually gets worse

 

Be patient with your symptoms and you should be able to tell the

difference. With natural/holistic medicine, I have found that we

need to be very patient as the body naturally heals itself slowly. In

general, I think society has gotten used to the quick fix, take a

pill and feel better immediately.
