Questions

When any treatment or cleansing program causes a large amount of endotoxins (toxins within the bacteria itself) are released into the body also causes the organs of the body i.e. the liver to release their stored poisons and toxins, and a cleansing reaction may occur. Any program, such as fasting, which causes a rapid breakdown of fat cells (which also store toxins), can cause a healing crisis as toxins previously lodged in the fat cells are released into the blood stream.
