The Herxheimer Reaction

________________________________________________________________________

Do you have patients with persistent health problems, allergies, chronic asthma, migraines, water-swelling constipation, or with swollen glands?

 My name is Charles Kwang; I am a chiropractor and a nutritionalist and I have created an herbal tea program, which consists of ready to drink formulas to help patients detoxify their bodies without the negative side effects from the “Herxheimer Reaction”. 

Now you can also use my program to help your patients avoid experiencing a lot of the harsh detox reactions.  All of your patients will greatly benefit from the program; your patient will feel better after completing this program. 

My experience with detox reactions
As an alternative medicine practitioner I felt bad when my patients would come into my office with detox side effects that were interfering with their lives.  I felt, then, that I did not have the tools as yet to help the body heal itself, and that I was only helping patients live with their pain. I knew that if I wanted to help patients get better from the inside out; I needed to learn more about how the body works.

I started using traditional Chinese herbal teas to help patients with chronic pain.  I knew that I needed to find a way to stop the cycle of pain.  I continued my research on Chinese herbs, and focused on developing Chinese tea formulas that would aid the body to heal itself.  I realized I was able to help the body handle chronic pain better without the “Herxheimer Reaction.” 

The Herxheimer Reaction
The “Herxheimer Reaction” is a short-term detoxification reaction that can last anywhere from a few days to few weeks. The “Herxheimer Reaction” is a reaction that occurs when the body is detoxifying.  During the detoxification the released toxins either exacerbate the symptoms being treated or create their own symptoms. The important thing to note is that worsening symptoms do not indicate failure of the treatment in question; in fact, the worsening symptoms usually indicate just the opposite.  Symptoms during the detoxification stage may include, flu-like symptoms, such as headaches, joint and muscle pain, body aches, sore throat, general malaise, sweating, chills, nausea, etcetera.

The biggest problem with the “Herxheimer Reaction” is that people discontinue the supplement or medication that is causing the flu-like symptoms.  Although the experience may not make them feel particularly good, the “Herxheimer Reaction” is usually a sign that the body is healing itself. 

Patients however do not want to feel sicker, they want to feel better.  In fact eight out of ten individuals who are willing to complete a nutrition program do not want to experience detox reactions (flu like symptoms). 

Finally a solution:
I created an herbal tea program, which consist of ready to drink formulas to help reduce the Herxheimer Reaction flue like symptom. This herbal tea program has proven very successful in my office.  

The Herbal Tea that minimizes detox reactions
The herbal teas are ready to drink and include 7 individual packets of herbal tea in a bundle. Each packet contains 2.2 ounces of liquid.  The patient drinks one packet per day, so a bundle would last 7 days.  Patients can drink the tea anytime during the day and should feel relief quickly.
