Our bodies have a natural desire for perfect health, and it would always work with us when we decide to have a detoxification process. However the body must go through an elimination process before we can achieve perfect health.
Whenever we make a decision to start taking a product that would begin to detoxify our bodies, we may suffer what is called a healing crisis. In a healing crisis, all the body systems are working together to eliminate toxins that have been dumped into the blood stream to be taken out of the body, to try to cleanse and regenerate itself. The body uses all its available channels to do this.A cleansing process is on its way and stored wasted are in a free flowing state
The elimination channels of the body are the skin, the urine and the lower intestines or the bowels. The toxins and wastes are being released into the blood stream to be eliminated. This sets the stage for the body to begin to regenerate itself, replacing old tissue with new, replacing old cells with new .When any treatment or cleansing system causes a large scale destruction of bacteria, a significant amount of toxins within the bacteria itself are released into the body and the blood stream for elimination. The more bacteria present and the stronger the endotoxins (toxins within toxins) the stronger the cleansing reaction would be. When any treatment or detoxification program, causes the organs of the body especially the liver which is a store house for toxins, to release their poisons into the body for elimination, a "healing crisis" may occur.
Such symptoms are temporary and it can happen immediately, or after a few days of being on a detoxification program. Any Detoxification program, even fasting, which causes a massive and rapid break down of fat cells, which also are a store house for toxins, can trigger a "healing crisis" as poisons and toxins are released into the blood stream for elimination.
What then are the symptoms of a healing crisis? Well it can be anything from the symptoms of the common cold to the symptoms of a major disease that you may be suffering from. Some people suffer joint and muscle pain, others feel extreme tiredness, nausea, giddiness. Some experience restlessness, aches and pains, arthritic pains flare up, insomnia, sinus congestion, fever, frequent urination, bad body odour, drop in blood pressure, skin eruptions, boils, hives, rashes, colds or flu like symptoms, and if you are suffering from a major illness, the symptoms of that disease may flare up. Sometimes strong emotions emerge like anger, despair, sadness, fear. Suppressed memories can surface, and you can relive the pain of those experiences. Sometimes mood swings, new phobias may develop. Whatever the symptoms one endures during a healing crisis, it is an indication that the body is cleansing and rejuvenating itself.
If the symptoms become too strong , one should ease his way through the process. Drink lots of water to help with the elimination process. Juices and herbal teas are great for flushing out the toxins and help in speeding along the detoxification process. Rest, when you feel the need, use an enema to provide relief. A good massage can be helpful, and meditation can help with emotional issues. On rare occasions, a reduction or a temporary cessation of the product may become necessary. It has to be pointed out here, of course that not everyone suffers a healing crisis, or is even aware that he is going through one. But at times ,and according to the amount of toxins that one has in his body, a healing crisis can and does occur.
One crisis is not always enough for a complete cure. The person in a chronic "locked" disease state will often have to go through cycles of healing crises, with each one improving the condition some. It has taken time to develop a chronically diseased state, and time is required to let go of the "locked" energy, piece by piece. It's like peeling the layers off an onion.
This is a time our body needs juices, teas and especially water to help carry off the toxins. This is a time for rest. Be kind to yourself --- mentally, emotionally, and of course physically.
One, of course, must always ensure his health by having a checkup, and not just assume that he is having a healing crisis.
