Dear Helena,
Thanks for relating your experience. I`m happy to know that this isn`t an
unusual response and that for you the herx reaction was, at least,
short-lived. Today is my fourth day taking CS and I haven`t cut back my
dose yet but I`m keeping that option open :-)
Hawaii... Ahh... one of these days!
regards,
Elle

Aloha from Hawaii Elle,
Over five years ago, I came down with yeast infections because my MD was
giving me lots of antibiotics for my flu which turned into bronchitis - 3
months of treatment and I couldn't get any better, I kept getting relapses.
It was then that I started researching alt. medicine and came upon CS.
When I first started taking CS then, I did get bloated with lots of gas and
all kinds of discomfort. At that time I had leaky gut syndrome and other
gut problems (because of surgery there - long story). I'm sure I also had
other bacterial infections elsewhere in my body.
My herx reaction was very bad... I had fever, chills, vomit and diarrhea
for about 3 days.... That was because I started with too high a dosage
and I guess my liver couldn't detox fast enough. After that episode I was
fine and I have been taking 4 to 6 ozs of CS daily for maintenance.
Perhaps you should cut back to one tablespoon twice a day and see what
happens. Then gradually increase to whatever amount you feel comfortable
with as a maintenance dosage.
What I'm trying to say is that the worse shape your body is in internally,
the more discomfort you will feel. Bear with it and in time, things will
smooth out once your body gets rid of all the toxins released by the dead
"germs". CS is not a miracle cure. It took a long time for your body to
be in ill health. It will take time and patience to heal it. But it will
happen...!!!
That's my 2-cents worth.... <grin>
Take care Elle.
Warmest Regards,
Helena
