Re: [Everything doTERRA] Reaction to LLV

I cannot seem to tolerate LLV for some reason. I tried several months ago and started taking the full dosage. I felt fine until about the 3rd or 4th week. I started feeling weak, my eye sight was doing weird things and I had migraines which I hardly ever get. I was talking to my husband about it and he asked if I was taking anything new and I said the LLV. I stopped taking it and within 2 days I was 500% better. (I can't even relate how bad I was feeling.)

Then after reading some things lately where people were recommending that you start with just a partial dose and work your way up, I decided to try again. I started a little over a week ago and have just been taking 1 pill each of of the 3 bottles. The last few days I started getting dizzy spells like vertigo or something. I'd just turn over in bed and my head would go swirling. I would get up and have trouble balancing, it was crazy. Started feeling bad again too. I decided to stop again and see if I would get better. I took my last dose on Tuesday night. I made sure I drank plenty of water yesterday to flush my system out. As the day went on, I felt better and better. Today I feel like a million bucks again.

There must be something in one of the pills that does not agree with me and I will not try taking it again. I do eat a decent diet, make 90% of our food so it's unprocessed, drink plenty of water or I have unsweetened tea,  (haven't had soda since 2006), and drink 1 cup of black coffee every morning.

I wish I could pin point what is not agreeing with me as I've never had a supplement do this.

Thanks,

Jewlz :)

Hi Annie,

 

Just comparing experience here: Whenever I ingest Clove and  Peppermint as single oils or blended( particularly while swishing and/or swallowing for general health), I experience a runny nose and throat (even though I don't have a cold).  These are powerful decongestant for me, it seems.  So I just ignore the temporary discomfort and before long, the phlegm stops.  Clove and Peppermint are both in the EO Mega and VMZ.  However, I have no problem with Ginger.  Ginger is known to "promote sweating and expel mucus", to quote Dr. Sue Lawton's Product Information Page on Ginger.  So yes, maybe it's the ginger but maybe test yourself also on Clove and Peppermint.

 

I'm sure others will also post their opinions/experiences and you may proceed from there to be your own health detective.

 

Sweet smiles to everyone!

Subject: [Everything doTERRA] Reaction to LLV

 

I started taking LLV and DDR prime (2 of each LLV and one DDR daily) on Dec 4, 2014.I am really healthy and am not aware of any food intolerances or allergies. My main reason for trying LLV was hormone balancing and hot flashes After about 10 days, I noticed improved energy and sleep, and my hot flashes went from about 30 a day (and night) to almost none (maybe one small hardly noticeable one a day)! This was great. But then I started to notice a tightness in my chest after taking the pills and then within about 15 minutes, lots of phlegm and mucuous, especially in upper chest, larynx and affecting vocal cords. (I teach music and sing a lot so that's not so good.) I tried going down to one each daily. Same reaction. I also tried different times of day and eating with different foods. Something in the pills wasn't working for me.

 

Then last week I had a ginger Kombucha drink - and had the same reaction. (I hadn't noticed this sensitivity before.) Then I saw ginger in all 3 of the LLV bottles with the inclusion of Tummy Tamer blend. I did take try taking only the DDR the last 2 days and no reaction so that let me rule out any cross-oils in that and LLV (like Frankincense.) So...I think I may have developed a sensitivity to the intensity of something in LLV and think it might be ginger. With the reaction to the drink and to the pills being the same, maybe it's too much of this substance in my body. And if it's not that, I'm definitely reacting to something in the LLV. What do people do who want the benefits of LLV (they are awesome) but are having trouble with some ingredient? Help, please!
