The symptoms that you are experiencing may be the result of a healing crisis brought about by the Oxy-Powder. As oxygen is introduced into the colon, it can create a hostile environment for many types of bacteria, yeast (candida), and certain types of bacteria. When these die, they can release various toxins that can cause everything that you are describing. Common symptoms associated with a healing crisis are fatigue, headaches, nausea, muscle and joint aches, rashes, worsening of allergies, mental “fog.” and others. Generally, these should be short-lived and should pass by themselves. 5 capsules is still a moderate dose, and many people regularly take more than this during the cleanse or on maintenance. If the symptoms do not resolve themselves fairly soon, you can lower the dose until it passes and then increase it as you are able. I would also suggest that you drink at least ½ your body weight in ounces of purified or distilled water daily and also incorporate a probiotic such as Latero-flora for intestinal balance. Many people do experience a healing crisis while initially performing a colon cleanse but find that it is actually an indication that the body is shedding unwanted toxins and healing itself.
and its not from having a BM its because i felt as if i wanted to throw up? My question is, is this normal feeling nausea and i keep feeling my sinuses drain and its making me cough, plus i have had a headache all day. I might have did this to myself because i decided to up my dose last night by taking 5 pills instead of 4. I was only have 3 BM's and a day and that is why i up my dose.
