"Note that these reactions may be rather odd, or the reaction can feel exactly like a cold, sore throat, flu, headache, or some other common ailment. Many people tell me they just happened to “catch a cold” or the flu. While this is always possible, when a person is on a nutritional balancing program in most cases it is more than just a simple cold or flu. It has to do with bringing up a chronic virus, bacteria or something else and retracing the infection so as to eliminate it on a permanent basis. For this reason, sometimes the cold or flu can be quite vigorous."
A NEED FOR MORE WATER AND/OR MORE VEGETABLES IN THE DIET
A few people begin to feel worse during a program because the body is attempting to eliminate a lot of toxic metals, for example, and the person is not following the program well enough to allow the process to move forward adequately.
The most common problem is not drinking enough water. This is so important that it should never be overlooked. A related problem is the person is drinking the wrong kind of water, usually reverse osmosis water or perhaps a tap water or even a spring water that is not hydrating the body well enough.
Another related issue is that a person may be using caffeine, or consuming too much sugar or some alcohol, and any of these can cause depletion of the body’s water. Stopping the caffeine, sugar or alcohol is needed, and perhaps drinking more plain water is required and the aggravation of symptoms will go away promptly."
