I want to go over some basic "DO'S and DONT'S" of treatment-potholes that people fall into even though I go over them at the early onset of treatment. There is so much information in the beginning of treatment it can be overwhelming and people often miss these basic rules.
1) When using Natren probiotics do not replace the loose powder for the powder that comes from the capsule form. They are formulated differently and this will have a very negative effect on your progress.
2) When using any specific supplement, do not substitute it for the same supplement by a different company unless Dr. Brizman has ok'd you to do so. This can also have a huge negative effect.
3) Do not drink any water other than bottled spring water. This includes water that you are using for coffee or tea if you are ok'd to drink those items.
4) Do not use hand sanitizers or antimicrobial soap.
5) Do not consume the following food items: soy, sugar, alcohol, coconut, flax, oats, mushrooms, moldy foods such as blue cheese or foods that contain them.
6) Do not use hair or skincare products with the above items in them either. Look out for leave in hair care products-most of them are very problematic.
7) Do not use or undergo teeth whitening products, unless they are natural teeth whitening products such as Tom's of Maine.
8) Only follow your diet plan as outlined by Dr. Brizman.
9) Only take supplements that have been prescribed by Dr. Brizman or if not prescribed by her, approved by her to include in your protocol.
10) Protect your body from chemicals-even if they are natural. for example wear gloves when cleaning your house even if you use natural products. Open the windows to get ventilation while doing so. If you put items on your children that you wouldn't put on your own body, try to get your partner to do so or wear gloves while doing so.
These are very basic rules and I am hoping that I have not forgotten anything. I may go back and edit this in another color further if I see anything or if anyone else sees anything, please comment below.
