DON’T FIGHT THE HEALING PROCESS

In the course of following a nutritional program for allergies or  other  problems, many people experi­ence uncomfortable symptoms.  This is known as a healing reaction.  The most common symptom my clients report is a temporary reduc­tion in energy. They may find them­selves sleeping longer, perhaps as much as 12 hours a night. Some people also report aches and pains in various parts of the body, digestive system disturbances such as gas, constipation, or diarrhea, or other miscellaneous complaints.
These symptoms occur because the body is ridding itself of the substances that have been making it toxic — not only the materials that have accumulated in the colon, but also the antibodies and other substances that have built up in the individual cells, interfering with their normal functioning. As these sub­stances are ejected out of the tissues, they are dumped into the system, making the body temporarily more toxic until they can be excreted. This is partly what produces the sym­ptoms of the healing    reaction. This effect is accentuated by the body's process of tearing apart defective tissue, repairing damaged cells, des­troying parasites or infective agents, and otherwise producing debris from the reconstruction.

I find that the more severe the individual’s condition (the more toxic his or her body is)  the stronger will be the healing reaction.  Because the healing reaction is caused by the flushing of toxins out of the cells, the strength of the reaction also depends on how carefully the individual is following the recommended nutritional program.  The more correctly the program is followed, the stronger will be the healing reactions .  See Article , “Detoxification”

WHY OLD SYMPTOMS COME BACK
Often in the course of the healing process old symptoms             temporarily reappear.   Why should people have to go back through these old prob­lems in the course of getting better? I believe that the specific symptoms that that a person experiences at any given time depend on the balance among the various biochemical sub­stances in the body. For example, when a person is perfectly healthy there is a certain ratio between Sub­stance A and Substance B in the  tissues. When this ratio gets out of balance to a certain degree, the person may feel fatigue; when the imbalance is greater, a headache may occur; when it is greater still, the person may develop insomnia, and so on.
A theory that people may re-experi­ence symptoms as they get healthier is that in order to progress from, say, a 100:1 imbalance to a 1:1 balance, they have to go back through 99:1, 98:1, and so forth, and as they go through each phase they experience the symptoms associated with that particular level of imbalance.
Biochemist John Eck has pursued a similar line of thought in his research on mineral nutrients.  Using hair analysis Eck has suggested the optimal levels for some of the prin­cipal minerals in the body. On the basis of the ratios among these minerals, Eck is able to estimate how efficiently the thyroid and adrenal glands are functioning, and hence to predict an individual's meta­bolic energy level.

Of course in actuality, a person's symptoms would not depend on the ratio between just two         substances, (See: triad of health) but among hundreds of different things. If a person gets stuck at some level he will get stuck in the symp­toms for that level. This helps to explain the basis of the  chronic illnesses from which so many people suffer.
