Why do I have signs of excessive detoxing?
Drugs and supplements have side effects because one is giving isolated ingredients in large therapeutic doses to the body far in excess of what Nature intended it to receive. On the other hand, whole food products do not contain large therapeutic doses of any one ingredient but can cause unintended consequences (for example, excessive detoxing symptoms). Excessive signs of detoxing (e.g., increased thirst, lethargy, loss of appetite, change in digestion, rash, itching, outbreak of sores, abscesses, new lumps, vomiting, loose stools or diarrhea, dizziness) or exacerbation of current symptoms (e.g., flu symptoms, tumors growing larger) are not side effects but signs the body is responding to the new superfood. A rash is not a sign the body is allergic to the superfood but indicates the body is working hard to eliminate toxins. The reason for the rash is that the body (e.g., intestines, kidneys, liver) has not had time to boost up to 100% efficiency yet and therefore must push the toxins
