Is this a side effect from the CAD?

[sesta]

Yesterday, Day 4 of CAD, I started feeling like crap. Tired, achey, congested, sore throat......Since starting my new Atkins way of living in June of 2004 I have never felt unwell or sick. Actually, I have never been healthier! So, why all of a sudden am I feeling like crap? I exercise almost daily, eat very healthy - the Atkins way, take my vitamins.....I am dumbfounded? urplequ:

I am not positive, but it could be caused by the yeast die off.

I went thru the same symptoms you discribe. I had no energy, brain-fog, no energy what so ever. But the good news is this will pass. Everyone is different, but I felt better after a week.

Suggestion! Be sure and keep your bowels moving the waste out. Don't let yourself get constipated. So your body can get rid of the toxins that the yeast can cause, while the yeast is dying.
Drink lots of water and stay the course. There are better days ahead.

Thanks Becky Sue!

it could be caused by the yeast die off

So, it's probably a good thing?

Part of my problem could be the constipation. I haven't been having regular BM's (sorry TMI). Thanks for the suggestion, I feel so crappy I am SO close to giving up.

Powerful herbs stimulate and strengthen the entire gastro-intestinal system. This cleans out and heals while it improves digestion, expels parasites and promotes healthly intestinal flora. This formula has anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal action.

Ingredients: Aloe, Cascara Sagrada bark, Garlic bulb, Senna leaf, Ginger root, Barberry bark, and Cayenne Pepper. NOTE: Do not use during pregnancy without the guidance of a health care professional. Not for people with colon inflammation such as colitis - use Intestinal Corrective #2 instead. All encapsulated products are in a pure 100% vegetable based capsule.

This is Dr. Richard Schulze formula when he was a student of Dr. Christopher - under the Christopher label. This formula may differ from Schulze's present formula.

A sluggish bowel can retain pounds of old, toxic and poisonous fecal matter. Many times the real cause behind sickness and disease is this retention and reabsorption of this toxic waste.

The first step in anyone's health program should be stimulating, cleaning and toning all the elimination organs.

The bowel is the best place to begin:

Day #1 (step1):

Start with one capsule of Intestinal Corrective Formula #1 during or just after dinner. This formula works best when mixed with food.

Day #2:

This morning you should notice an increase in your bowel action and in the amount of fecal matter that you eliminate. The consistency should also be softer. If you do not notice any difference in your bowel behavior or the difference wasn't dramatic, then tonight increase your dosage to two capsules. You can continue to increase your dosage every evening by one capsule until you notice a dramatic difference in the way your bowel works. It has taken most of us years to create a sluggish bowel so lets be patient and only increase by one capsule each day.

By the end of week #1 you should know what your dosage is. If not, then remain on this formula for an additional week to get regulated before you go on to the next step.

Week #2 (step 2):

At the beginning of week #2 start on the Intestinal Corrective Formula #2. Take Intestinal Corrective #2 five times a day. Mix one heaping teaspoon of the powder with 8 ounces of juice or distilled water in a jar with a lid. Shake it vigorously and drink it immediatly. Take it anytime during the day, just be sure to allow about 30 min. before or after meals, or taking other herbs. Use the entire 8 ounces Intestinal Corrective #2 in a week. Drink plenty of water during the day and increase dosage of Intestinal Corrective #1 if constipation occurs.

During or after dinner take your Intestinal Corrective Formula #1 as usual but increase the dosage you discovered the first week by 1 additional pill. If you feel a bit bound by the #2 formula you can increase your dosage of the # 1 formula even more.

Helpful Hints:

Drink plenty of distilled water, herb teas and diluted fruit and vegetable juices during this two-week cleanse. A good amount is between 64 and 128 ounces(8-16cups) of liquid each day. This makes the program more effective.






Hope this helps,
