For symptoms of Herxheimer or detox/cleansing reactions.
Here is what Dr. von Peters has to say about Drainage-Quest:
It has long been banted about that "healing crises",
sometimes called "Herxheimer reactions", are a normal part of the
healing process, that it is normal for a patient to feel worse prior to
feeling better. This is false.
There are actually two types of
crises experienced by the Practitioner as he works with his patients.
The first is the true healing crisis. The second is a disease crisis.
HEALING
CRISIS: A true healing crisis is where the person feels worse in
particular but better in general. The presenting problems may feel
worse, perhaps a bit more pain, bloating, etc. But the person begins to
feel some increasing energy, sense of well-being, may sleep better,
etc. This indicates that the person is on the upward path toward
healing.
DISEASE CRISIS: The person may feel worse in particular,
but does not feel better in general. Indeed, he may complain of less
energy, not being able to think, more pain, etc. This indicates that
the disease processes have worsened and the person is on the downward
path.
The practitioner must be on guard to verify that the person is moving in the direction of health, not disease.
The
reality is that healing crises were only necessary prior to
understanding the process of drainage as a part of the detoxification
process. The organs upon which the detoxification will fall must be
able to bear the load. If the liver, for example, cannot handle the
load from the lymphatics after the lymphatics are undergoing a
detoxification routine, the toxins are not gotten out of the body, but
rather recirculated through the circulatory system and redeposited into
the tissues at some location - possibly a worse location than where
they were prior to detox.
Drainage is the process of
draining the organs upon which the load of detoxification will fall,
and also of toning these organs so that they can handle the load.
Naturopathy does this properly through the use of homeopathic drainage
remedies.
The three primary organs of elimination to be drained and toned are the liver, kidney, and spleen.
With proper drainage support the rest of the regimen prescribed by your health
care practitioner works better and quicker without the falling
backwards many practitioners typically see.
