Hello, everyone!
Welcome back to our channel; focusing on health, nutrition and well-being.  
Sponsored by Mas que dietas.
For today´s chapter, we will talk about the reaction 
that some of my patient and many other people are experiencing during the detox treatment, 
especially at the beginning. 
This reaction can take few days or up to few months for patients who are highly intoxicated. 
For some, they can experience intense level, but it is incoherent. 
This reaction is called Detoxification reaction, Healing crisis  
or what we called “Herxheimer Reaction (Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction)”. 
It was named after the two dermatologists, Adolf Jarisch from Austria and Karl Herxheimer from Germany,
who both had discovered this kind of reaction.
As far as I remember, they were both working for infectious diseases like syphilis and tuberculosis. 
And they have observed that patients under treatment for those diseases,
are experiencing unpleasant symptoms, like headache, Arthralgia or joint pain.
They have gathered those symptoms and identified them as a detoxification reaction or healing crisis (Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction).
Okay, to talk about the symptoms,
The symptoms could differ from one patient to another, depending on types of disease.
For example, it can be different to patients experiencing liver obstruction or to patient with renal failure.
We have many symptoms, but let me talk about the most common.
Some of the symptoms like headache, Encephalopathy, Myalgia (muscle pain),
and we can also observe nocturnal sweat (night sweat) and also during the day.
Every toxin transit in our body including the skin will be activated to eliminate toxins.
Another symptom could be diarrhea, convulsion can also be observe,
we can also observe deep intestinal spasm, vomiting, myalgia or strong muscle contraction.
We also observed an increase in the glutamic-pyruvic transaminase or GPT, which is a liver transaminase associated to intoxication process.
Elevated GPT can be detected in blood examination.
These are the most common symptoms of detoxification reaction, but this doesn´t mean that you are getting worst.
This is because you are eliminating the toxins from your body.
As I always tell my patients that without reaction, there is no healing, and that is a positive reaction.
For example, we can see a healing reaction during acute or severe infection process
when a patient experiencing high fever and excessive sweating during the night and feeling better the next morning. 
This only means that your body just underwent detoxification reaction.
If you noticed during the old days, people with fever use blanket to cover,
this is to provoke sweat and detoxification.
If you are really intoxicated, the detoxification process might take longer.
To resume, there are two key factors that make us have these symptoms. 
First, any proper detoxification treatment has to be accompanied by a diet or  three to four days of fasting, 
but there is always food restriction or elimination diet as we call it.
We know that there is intolerance problem and allergies. 
Those food cannot be properly digestible by our body can cause immunological reaction.
Moreover, there are some food that contains morphine derivatives peptides,
For example, gluten which is a Desomorphine or Casein from milk.
If we remove those food in our diet, we will experience abstinence syndrome during first 2 to 3 days.
Abstinence syndrome can cause strong headache, but this is not because of the toxins,
this is due to the fact that your body was “hooked” to this peptides like gluten or Casein, 
which are able to connect to your encephalo or brain receptors that create pleasure or euphoria sensations.
So once we remove this food in our diet, your body is responding to the lack of that substance.
In theory, those nourishment or food is only taken during our lactation stage 
Another example is the wheat, which is always present in our diet like the biscuits or cakes that are too much for our body.
In conclusion, the problem is the excessive intake or abuse of these addictive opioids.
Another food that we take that contributes to abstinence syndrome is our daily intake of coffee or other stimulants.
Some people normally take those opioids that can cause you to feel relax or sleepy 
and then as a counteract, they will take stimulants like caffeine, taurine or even sugar which is a powerful addictive stimulant.
You can read our recent interesting post about sugar in our blog.
To conclude, first, we have to pay attention to these elimination diet reactions that can cause abstinence syndrome
and second, you also have to concentrate on toxins which I will talk about on our next episode. 
I hope you like our video today
and kindly please share this information to reach many people as possible. 
Thank you very much!
