the carpet being an issue. I purchased a non-toxic, biodegradable
cleaner, I usually use Simple Green but this was a new cleaner but it
fit the same critieria as Simple Green. But the church is new and
this is the first time the carpet has been cleaned that I am aware of
so I could see where chemicals were being released that I wasn't aware
of. I did some research in this forum and decided to take OnGuard
internally in some water. I ended up taking a 3 hour nap and woke up
with the headache nearly gone and most of the swelling diminished. I
am following up today with water and lemon to continue to clean me
out. Thanks again!

The oils will help you detox, which often causes the symptoms you are describing, as the toxins need to come out one way or another. Drink plenty of water with lemon in it to help flush out the toxins.

There are a lot of harmful substances in those cleaners. When my husband installs carpet in the churches and other large jobs, his breath smells like the carpet and the glue for a week. He has had very interesting cleansing reactions. I get excited about them. He's not so crazy about them. The toxins have to come out of the body and where it chooses to come out is anybody's guess.
