Dealing With Yeast Die-Off Reactions Many
yeast sufferers, after starting a program for yeast control, have experienced a
worsening of their condition. This can of course be a most unsettling and
discouraging development and if not understood and addressed effectively, may
not only forestall one's progress, but possibly bring it to a screeching halt.
We therefore want to share our insights and strategies to minimize the chances
of suffering unnecessarily from yeast die-off reactions. Common yeast die-off symptoms, some individuals
may develop one or several of these concurrently Fatigue,
brain fog, gastro-intestinal distress such as nausea, gas, bloating, diarrhea
or constipation, low grade fever, headache, sore throat, body itch, muscle and
/ or joint soreness or pain, feeling as if
coming down with a flu. Be
aware that contrary to popularly held misconception, yeast die-off reactions
are not a sign that yeast treatment is succeeding. It is an indication that
yeast cells are dying, usually in large numbers, and is more of an indicator of
the system's toxic overload. More poisons are being released than the body can
adequately cope with at one time. In most cases, yeast die-off is a sign that
the system's eliminatory pathways are overburdened or as oftentimes happens,
blocked, as in constipation and liver stress. When properly undertaken, treatment for
yeast related health problems does not lead to yeast die-off reactions. Individuals with elevated heavy metal
levels may have special problems
with so called "yeast die-off reactions" more

idea. Individuals who develop rebound constipation after colonic irrigation are
advised to avoid this method. |
