The missing link to many Mineral Balancing Programs lies in the need to address leaky gut and other microbiome issues. Many practitioners feel that MB will heal the gut without the need for other protocols. In my years of experience, (and as we live in an extremely toxic world), this is not always the case. Without a healthy microbiome we are not able to detox and/or heal which is why I start with MB but evaluate results as clients retest and determine if additional gut protocol is needed. Here’s why:
Your gut microbiome contains trillions of good and bad bacteria. In a healthy gut microbiome, beneficial probiotic bacteria outnumber harmful pathogens but there still are, and always will be, pathogens hanging around. The probiotic bacteria can keep those pathogen populations down most of the time. However, sometimes, the pathogens start to take over, growing until they outnumber the probiotics, contributing to all kinds of health problems.
Getting your gut microbiome into a healthy balance involves maximizing probiotics and minimizing pathogens. Die-off is a crucial part of detoxing and balancing your gut.
Unfortunately, pathogens don’t go away without a fight. As they die off, they release a variety of harmful and toxic substances. When you begin a proper gut healing program, like by starting a Mineral Balancing program and/or taking probiotics, billions of pathogens can die at the same time. This creates toxic overload setting off an immune response and causes the spike in the issues mentioned later in this article.
This detox phase is essential for facilitating the growth of beneficial bacteria in the microbiome.
Die-off in the gut microbiome is a vital process indicating detoxification and rebalancing. This can occur when you start a Mineral Balancing Program and eat a cleaner diet but, in some cases, the microbiome needs more attention.
UNDERSTANDING DIE-OFF
Die-off side effects are easy to mistake for other issues but with a better understanding of the healing process and help from your practitioner, we can determine if you are experiencing die-off and alleviate these symptoms.
A worsening of symptoms during MB is common and can signify die-off, especially if you have added the gut healing protocol to your program, usually by taking a probiotic. The onset of die-off is often sudden and dramatic.
DIE-OFF SYMPTOMS
Abdominal Discomfort
Bloating
Constipation and/or diarrhea
Intestinal Gas
Nausea
Flu-Like Symptoms
Fatigue
Brain Fog
Headaches
Rashes
Prolonged die-off reactions, while not typical, can last weeks or months due to factors like an unbalanced immune system or dysfunctional detox pathways. Supplements such as Valence Nutraceuticals Cell Restore, (and other protocols your practitioner can recommend), can help alleviate these issues. Persistent symptoms might necessitate additional support, including eliminating sugar, processed foods, and alcohol, (which are already not part of your Mineral Balancing Program) but may need to be adhered to very closely to reduce toxin exposure.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU EXPERIENCE DIE-OFF
Do not stop taking your probiotics! When experiencing die-off, it is important to continue taking probiotics but immediately contact your practitioner for guidance. Your practitioner can assist in understanding and managing symptoms, helping to slow down and mitigate reactions to ensure continued progress and comfort.
In summary, die-off symptoms indicate that your gut healing protocol is effectively eliminating harmful pathogens from your microbiome, and such symptoms are a normal part of the healing process. However, there are strategies to manage these symptoms, and it is advisable to collaborate with your practitioner for assistance in addressing them.
Your Mineral Balancing Program will be much more effective when your microbiome is healthy! My gut healing program works with your Mineral Balancing program to give you the best results so you heal and discover optimal wellness.
