Usually I feel good with dry brushing, even relaxed or tried after a session. This time I got sick to my stomach and felt weak right after dry brushing. Is it moving toxins around and can it make me feel nauseous like that? It passed in a few min but I still feel a little weak. This has never happened before to me just twice.

dry brushing is pretty benign detox methodology. any toxins excreted thru skin is already on the surface , brushing stimulates epidermis and makes room for more . id say your symptoms are from something else . did you treat covid for 6-8weeks after symptoms? i see a lot of viral resurgence after it takes down your immune system and it doesn't resolve on it own.

mn i know u have a medical background but have you ever tried kinesiology on yourself? it is a light in the dark lyme world . one can investigate reactions / allergens , check dosage and safety of meds or herbs prior to trying , ones body sends a electric signal for yes or no . im not talking about pendulums or reading tea leaves but the same tech that can do an assessment of meridians from resistance measured over points on the body . its german science as old as the brown note. any ways it can be a better approach than shooting a scattergun in the dark but like a sniper with night vision u can zero in on the true roots of your symptoms. remember pain and symptoms are there to let you know something is seriously awry. it our job to be able to listen ( it was difficult as many of my years were spent ignoring the warning signs . im curious if anyone else will reply here

I wouldn’t think that is the reason you felt sick.

Btw - do you follow it up with a warm Epsom salt bath?
That always helped me.
I would feel good for awhile after.

So I've never heard of kinesiology. Sounds pretty interesting, how do I go about doing this? I usually do take Epsom salts baths. Today when I got nauseas right after dry brushing, it sort of felt like when your blood pressure gets too low and you feel weak and nausea. So I didn't want to try an Epsom salt bath at that moment because magnesium in Epsom salt can lower your blood pressure as well. Maybe I should have done it because you're right, it does always make you feel better .

Might I add in this happened immediately after dry brushing today. The whole day today, I've felt weak or crappy, when I stand up my blood pressure goes down and as get dizzy and light headed. I'll mention maybe I've been digging in a piece of chocolate from the kids Halloween bags and also the clocks went back an hour due to day light savings? We did all wake up around 5:30 am today gelling refreshed, I only need like 5 or 6 hrs of sleep and I'm good with that. Maybe my body crashed a little from waking up too early , who knows.

that kinda sounds like pots or maybe a blood sugar thing . if i saw white spots i would have to grab chair or i knew fishing it (passing out would follow) it wouldn't happen if i didn't eat sugar .

Yep-my practitioner and I have been consistently utilizing kinesiology/muscle testing throughout my treatment. I’m rather surprised more forum members don’t weigh in more about it, yet this forum is largely comprised of patients who use antibiotics.

I agree that COVID and it’s after effects on the body could be playing a role. My practitioner has observed her patients who had COVID are struggling more with their treatments. I am no exception. But I soldier on as this form of treatment is safer for me. I came to grips quite some time ago that the efficacy of certain treatments was not dependent upon number of scientific peer reviewed journals.

I think you are making good points about causation versus correlation MN. You started feeling unwell after dry brushing. You mentioned eating candy and your normal temporal routine being thrown off due to daylight savings time. For myself, the candy and not getting enough sleep could def be a trigger. I'd be much more confident in claiming that those led to symptoms than I would dry brushing being the trigger. However, I've noticed over the years that seemingly innocuous things can lead to worsening of symptoms. Even then, I can do everything "right" and still experience a downturn. That's why I don't usually prescribe a high level on confidence to a specific trigger unless I do it over and over again and it leads to the same result. It seems cyclical. It's like I can hone in on a pattern, but I can't predict it with certainty. All we can do is experiment, learn, and go with the flow.

How much do they charge for the kinesiology and all? I'm assuming you do this all through your llmd??? I don't feel like it's covid, this is nothing new I've felt, I've felt this way many times in the past

Along with a review of my symptoms, kinesiology is used to guide treatment. So it is part of my session.I don’t take antibiotics so I am not treated by a LLMD. dr. klinghardt has videos on muscle testing.

Also, Dr Kklinghardt is one of the few well-known LLMDs who embraces muscle testing as a means of determining which pathogens your system is struggling with. I am sure you can find a practitioner to muscle test you, but they are alternative therapy practitioners, I.e., biomagnetic pair therapists, rife therapists, bee venom therapists, etc.
