[Everything doTERRA] Re: LLV and detox through breastmilk

If you are experiencing detox symptoms at any level, PLEASE STOP! Especially if your little one seems fussy and is changing bowel habits. if once every 3 days is normal FOR HIM, then his body may be trying to eliminate the toxic load by going more often. Think of what happens when your body tries to get rid of toxins from food poisoning, you go more often. It's the same concept at a slower pace. When we introduce these toxins into an immature system, they end up getting locked into his tissues.

We get toxins from everywhere, but heavy metals are especially dangerous to a young one. If you have mercury fillings, live near a coal burning electrical plant or have some other source of stored heavy metal, such as eating a lot of certain kinds of fish, you could be mercury toxic. These are just a few examples.

When you detox, these toxins that were "locked" into your tissues are released into your bloodstream. These toxins are then eliminated through bodily fluids, such as breastmilk. While this is good to do every once in a while so they can be eliminated, YOU SHOULD NOT GO THROUGH ANY CLEANSE WHILE NURSING. I've said this before on this forum and got shouted down, but this is a perfect example of why you should not.

A great book is Lisa Marasco's "Making More Milk." She is IBCLC and was one of the first to research the connection between PCOS and low milk supply.

Don't feel guilty. There is so much to learn. You are a good mama and are paying close attention to your little guy. :)

I just started taking LLV on Monday and now its thursday and I am experiencing some what I gather are detox symptoms.  Generally not feeling well, uneasy  stomach, pain in my eyes and fatigue.  I realize the detox is good, my concern is that I am breastfeeding and my little guy is just not himself.  He spent the bulk of last night crying, so much so that he is hoarse.  He has NEVER done that before.  When he isnt crying he is sleeping for much longer than normal and his periods of contentment are very short.  Putting Balance on his feet and spine seems to help.  Also he has gone from his normal BM of once every few days to every day.  I have heard when you detox it can go into your breastmilk.  Does anyone have any protocol or information on this.  I just don't want to harm his little body with all my nasty toxins!
