[Everything doTERRA] Re: Victory! Figuring out detox + knee infection

Hello again :)


I want to address this reply specially to Pat Leavitt.
After I read this topic I was left with more doubts. I knew that before we start with LLV it is advised to do a "gentle detox" like the one Emily writes about. This can be read throughout this Group. A prep should be made mostly with lemon. Some drops of the oil in a certain amount of water during the day or taking juice from a squeezed lemon first thing in the morning during a week or so. Something like that. So, it seems to me that the purpose of this is to do a detox firstly to the liver, right?

Now, I get this also interesting reply from "drla...@wbemt.com":
- "Colons are first and sometimes they must be done multiple times before we could do a liver/blood, gallbladder or kidney cleanse".
(and)
- "YOU MUST detoxify your colon first and thoroughly before you try to detoxify any other organ if you wish to get healthy and do no harm".

So, from what I read, maybe I could say that LLV supplements works as a detox on their own, right? Some people complain about the occurrence of constipation at the beginning of the taking of LLV. So, from what we learned from you, Pat, could I say that this is a reaction from the body system to an LLV detox to the colon? And if LLV really fills this mentioned concern from "drla...@wbemt.com" about a colon cleanse... what about this subject on "colon cleanse first" VS. "liver cleanse first"... as a preparation for LLV? What do you think of this?


I will thank you in advance for you opinion concerning this subject.
Thank you very much for everything, Pat!
Ricardo

I wanted to post a couple of experiences that I thought might help someone else.

1) Lemon Water Detox symptoms

I had been doing the "gentle" detox --- just drinking 1-2 drops of lemon in my water throughout the day.  From all I had read, this was the easiest way to go.  But after only one day, I would get these big headaches!  This happened at least five times, and I ruled out the possibility of tension or caffeine headaches, so I know it was the detox.  I read lots of stories online about how people said that detox just seems to affect people differently, but I was discouraged that the gentlest of detoxes seemed to debilitate me.

Then I remembered something I had read in a book by Sherry Rogers (Detoxify or Die).  She explains how different nutrients support our body's detoxification mechanisms.  She specifically mentions zinc, copper, manganese, magnesium, vitamin C, lipoic acid, and glutathione (a tripeptide of glycine, glutamic acid, and cysteine).  

We're not yet able to afford the LLV supplements, but I would guess they contain many of the nutrients required to support detoxification.  Also, if someone is taking a quality daily vitamin or other supplements, they might detox better.  Anyway, I have noticed that when I take a vitamin C complex (I just buy the Trader Joe's brand), my headaches go away!  I'm guessing that while supplements won't completely eliminate detox symptoms, they would sure take the edge off!

2) Knee infection

My husband came home from work two days ago with terrible knee pain.  He said it was slight when he woke up, but by the end of the day, he couldn't put any weight on it.  He didn't do anything that would injure it; he had just gone to work and come home.  I read about knee pain/injuries, and most seemed to discuss strains or other injuries.  After trying Frankincense and Basil with a warm compress and leaving it over night, it wasn't any better.  In the morning, I suddenly had a thought that it was infected.  I made him a capsule with OnGuard, Oregano, Melaleuca and Lemon (3-2-1-1).  In the evening it was better, so I gave him another.  That was yesterday.  This morning he said it was much better, so I gave him another capsule.  We'll continue this track for a week.

A quick google search turned up some various knee infections.  I didn't even know that could happen!  Bacteria can invade the knee bursae (causing bursitis) or even the joints (causing septic arthritis).  Anyway, whatever it was/is, the oils have saved the day again!!
