Increase in muscle spasms after starting Banderol-thought? Worried.

Hello,

I started Banderol 8 days ago. Started at 2 drops a day, and waited 4 days before increasing. Went up to 3 drops a day on the 5th day.

That night, I was awake much of the night from constant muscle spasms along my jaw line. Anything with the jaw is frightening to me, because of Bells Palsy.

Stayed at 3 drops on the 6th day, and spasms continued on jawline. Jumped to 5 drops on the 7th day, and it subsided a bit. Moved up to 6 drops on the 8th day.

Today, my spasms are constant. My kids tell me when the spasms are going fast or slow. I experienced a full 10 minutes of non stop spasming on my jawline. Worried now.

Have I moved up to quickly? I've had zero herxing, other than a fast heart rate upon waking the first 5 days, but that's gone. Should I stop altogether-is it possible it's not a good herb for me?

I am doing weekly ultra Voilet Ray light IV therapy, weekly for the past 5 weeks. I go back tomorrow for my 6th session. So, I'll speak to the nurse...but in the meantime...

Thoughts?

Ps...my dr and the nurse both said they wouldn't expect herxing on banderol/Samento due to the UVL...that's more of a punch they say...so, I felt I could move up as quick as I was...I don't think I moved up terribly quicker? I started splitting the dose on the 7th day when I increased to 5 drops.

Not sure if it's even related to banderol...maybe herx from the UVL...

I am on houtanyia, banderol, transfer factor. Trying to add in Samento, ababs and abart eventually. And tox-ease. Did 8 months of antibiotics.

Thought I was getting a good handle on this, but I'm terrified of this constant jaw spasms.

Thank you.

What all are you doing for detoxing, by the way?

It's best to do a variety of methods daily - you need to keep ahead of the killing.

Here are some ideas:

Since you are planning on taking Tox-Ease, why not start that next?

No, it doesn't mean you are sensitive to them, it means they are working!

What your doctor meant is that there are people that are allergic to the herbs.

Activated charcoal is one thing you could do, but there are time requirements with the use of any binder. It must be taken 2 - 3 hours away (before and after) from anything else you wish your body to absorb - otherwise the binder will bind to the products that you have taken instead of the toxins.

Many of us can sneak in one dose during the day, but if that's not the case, if you get up regularly during the night to use the bathroom, you can have the binder set out along with at least 8 ounces of water and take it then. Binders must be taken with at least 8 ounces of water to avoid constipation. When we are constipated, we are not able to move the toxins expelled by that route out of our body quickly enough to prevent them from reabsorbing back into the body.

You can use dry skin brushing oil pulling and other forms of detoxing though. Here is a great list to go over that is similar to the one that CD posted: www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html
