There are so many variations to die-off that it is not relevant to compare or expect your reactions to be like someone else's. Some people will experience a tremendous amount of symptoms-nausea, headache, fatigue, cloudy urination, sore throat. While someone else may experience a little loose stool, a little gas, but otherwise feel an increase in energy and increase in well being. 

Other people may have lots of acne, while some experience an improvement in skin right away. Some experience hair loss, while others none at all. Some lose weight, others don't shift in weight, and in some cases there is weight gain, although, that is less common.

I don't read the board, as all of you know. But, someone brought to my attention a couple hot topics. So, I need to comment on what I heard was said bc it needs to be clarified.

1) Is it OK to take other homeopathics or supplements if you are treating with me?

ONLY AND ONLY IF I HAVE SAID IT IS OK IN YOUR CASE. IN MOST CASES, THE ANSWER IS AN ABSOLUTE NO.
IN A FEW CASES, I HAVE MADE EXCEPTIONS FOR VARIOUS REASONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. DOING THIS CAN CAUSE HUGE PROBLEMS.

2) Is the sunscreen ok to use on your body and not your face?

MY SUNSCREEN WAS DESIGNED FOR THE ENTIRE BODY INCLUDING THE FACE. OTHER SUNSCREENS OFTEN CAUSE MANY SYMPTOMS-PLEASE AVOID USING THEM!

I must admit, I was kind of stunned watching this video, and this will change the way I shop and how much I am reading fine print even more than I was doing before.

This is crazy and is a must read!

That, if passed could potentially take away your right to get supplements.

...was possibly the largest to date. There were 39 attendees! Wow. That is so fantastic. It was a really nice discussion about lots of great topics again. And as always, it could have gone on all night.

Next month's meeting should be Friday the 9th at 4 pm Pacific. And, if there will be any changes to that, I will let you know, of course.

Thank you everyone for attending and for all the great questions and conversation. Getting together in this way brings up lots of great information for everyone. I had two conversations yesterday with two different patients who had told me that some things came up for them in other meetings that drew their attention to issues that they would not have paid any attention to otherwise. 

This month's support group meeting will be at 4:00 pm Pacific time. I am looking forward to speaking with all of you!

And for the posts I have not answered below, I will get to those today. Sorry for the delay:)

...I remembered which flour I used in my chocolate cake. It was Bob's Red Mill whole Wheat.!:) Many people asked, and I finally found the old familiar package!
