Do you have allergic reaction concerns? My story may help you…
I have been using what I was led to believe was a healthy range of supplements and personal-care products.
Initially, when I changed over to them, I went through a bit of a healing cycle as I, and my body, adjusted to them.
A few months back, when I took the supplements and drank a cup of filtered water I felt alright until,
sometime later I felt giddy, nauseous, dry retched, sweated profusely – and my heart-rate climbed dramatically-
I drank another cup of water and this helped relieve the symptoms! I took the supplements the next day, it happened again.
I experienced peculiar episodes every night – such as running to the toilet twelve times to relieve my bladder. Reducing my daily water intake, to get unbroken sleep, I managed to cut it to six trips – but, I was still not getting a good nights sleep.
Also, I noticed that when I took a shower and used the associated company’s body-wash, it was okay while using it in the shower while the water was streaming down my body. I did not experience anything unusual until I got out of the shower to dry myself. As I dried my skin, I saw it coming off more than usual and I could not work out what was happening.
I used the body wash for my face and found that while I had my face soaped up it started to sting and I gave it a thorough rinse. The next day my upper lids were a pink colour and looked swollen, the outside of my eyes in the crevices had formed scabs and it felt tender to the touch.
Furthermore, when my body dried afterwards it started to itch something fierce.
In their hair-care range – first, I tried the one suitable for my hair type – but it made my hair too dry. Trying the moisturising shampoo – made my hair too oily. Combining the two shampoos I thought would be the answer and once again the results were disappointing.
After using these shampoos over a short period, my scalp started to itch – and, to get relief, I began to scratch it.
Continually scratching this area caused the skin to become sensitive. Using the recommended amount of shampoo, I applied it to the hair, when it penetrated my sensitive scalp it caused me to scream in pain.
Having allergic reaction concerns, I had a look at the ingredients listing on these product labels and couldn’t see anything that was causing my issues.
I am aware that everybody’s body is different and, generally speaking, many people may not experience the same or similar results that I have described above.
Suspecting that it might have something to do with these supplements, hair-care and personal care products – I stopped taking all of them.
Now, five months later – my life is back to normal.
My fluid intake is back to between six to eight glasses of drinking water a day so, thankfully, my visit to the toilet is once during the night.
At the same time, based upon an acquaintance’s recommendation, I trialled another brand of supplements and personal care products that he and his family have been using for several years.
That was five months ago, and I’m still using them – and I am very thrilled with the results.
