Adventures in the ER

[Guest guest]

I don't know if any of you have had a similar experiences, but when I am living

raw and

then go out someplace where raw isn't much of an option and eat something heavy

like

pasta (for some reason wheat seems to be particuarly bad for me) and don't drink

a lot of

extra water, I will wake up in the middle of the night with really bad cramps

which tends to

last for a couple of hours. I take this as my bodies way of letting me know I

have acted in

error and discouraging me from making the same mistake again :-)

 

I had a similar experience Sunday night which I would like to share. I am in a

raw pot-luck

group where some of the members having been talking about 'Natural Cellular

Defense'. It

is a dietary supplement made from zealite which is supposed to pull the heave

meatals

from your body. You are supposed to take 10 drops/3 times a day for the first

month and

then 3 drops/3 times a day thereafter. I started with the 10 drop dosage and it

was

causing some constipation and the night of the second day woke me up with cramps

which lasted for an hour or so. I stopped taking it for a couple of days and

started again

but at the 3 drop level for 2 days, 5 drop level for 2 days and on Sunday moved

it up to 7

drops. On sunday I also ate lunch at an ethipian restaurant and had the

vegetarian lentil

and vegetable soup, a salad, and some watermelon sorbet. Nothing very heavy and

normally this type of meal would not have bothered me. I woke up at 1:30 in

morning with

cramps with severe cramps which lasted all night and finally went to the ER at

7:30 (had to

be bad for me to resort to alleopathic medicine). They did x-rays, urine and

blood tests

and the only thing they found was elevated liver enzymes. Doctor suggested I

stop the

NCD, which I had already planned to do anyway, and sent me home. The cramps

started to

easy up around 11:30 but did not completely go away until later that night and

my

stomach didn't feel itself until I woke up on Tuesday morning.

 

This is not an adventure I seek to repeat again. Has anyone else tried NCD? What

was your

experience?
