THE "HEALING CRISIS"
Written by Dr. Robert Morse, N.D

The  following  are  some  examples   of  the  cleansing  processes  that  we  call  the "Healing  Crisis."   During my 30 years of detoxification experience,  I have witnessed  so many different  levels  and types  of healing  crisis,  that I do not have the space to cover them all.   I have enclosed the most common ones, many of which I have which experienced, first hand, from my own personal detoxification efforts.  I have divided these cleansing processes up into three categories: mild, moderate and strong. Each of these levels may be experienced at one time or another.    However, most people do not experience the "strong" levels.  This all depends upon ones' level of toxicity, combined with their systemic (total body) energies or strength.

MILD CLEANSING EFFECTS

1.  Cold and flu-like symptoms

2.  Low-grade fevers (99°-100°Fahrenheit)

3.  Coughing with or without discharge

4.  Clear and yellow mucus discharge from nose or throat (lungs. bronchi, etc.; this may include blood)

5.  Minor aches and pains

6.  Mucus in stools

7.  Mucus in urine

8.  Loss of energy (may go up and down)

9.  Rashes and itching

10. Disease symptoms increasing temporarily

11.  Mucus from eyes

12.  Mild headaches

13.  Minor blurred vision

14.  Minor vertigo

15.  Weight loss (average 8-15lbs. in two weeks. Depends upon level of thyroid weakness.  Can be as little as 2 lbs.)

16. Chills

17. Emotional feelings rising up, such as mild crying, anger or even laughter

18. Short term nose bleeds

19. Some rectal bleeding (hemorrhoids or lesions)

20. Minor blood in urine

21. Etc.

MODERATE CLEANSING EFFECTS

1. Symptoms of bronchitis or pneumonia

2. Heavy discharges of green to brown mucus from nose and throat (lungs, bronchi, etc.)

3. Pain in joints

4. Heavy discharge from kidneys (urine color changes to brown, orange or dark yellow, etc.)

5. Pain in old injuries or in degenerative areas of the body.

6. Minor paralysis of limbs

7. Chronic fatigue symptoms

8. Nose bleeds

9. Spasms of the lungs in asthma/emphysema/C.O.P.D.

10. Moderate shortness of breath (asthma, emphysema, C.O.P.D.)

11. Temporary increase in tumor size

12. Disease symptoms magnifying (short-lived)

13. Sores appearing on the skin

14. Oozing of innumerable substances from the skin, especially from the hands and feet

15. Bruising

16. Weak muscle breakdown (muscle from meat protein)

17. Heavy mucus discharge from eyes and ears

18. Vomiting

19. Diarrhea

20. Cellulitis "clumping"

21. Dizziness and/or vertigo

22. Minor heart palpitations

23. Loose teeth (minor)

24. Minor abscesses in mouth

25. Migraines

26. High-grade fever (103°-l05°Fahrenheit)

27. Deep coughing (sometimes dry). Use herbs to loosen and eliminate (expectorate) the impacted mucus.

28. Depression or anxieties

29. Emotional releasing (crying, anger. laughter, etc.)

30. Heavy thoughts (lack of clarity)

31. Skin splitting where heavy toxins exist

32. Excessive itching

33. Mercury tooth fillings can be pushed out by the body

34. Rectal bleeding from past or present hemorrhoids or lesions

35. Etc.

You may experience one or several of the above cleansing effects (healing crisis). Don't panic!  You want these.  I love to see dark green mucus coming out of my patients. That's an excellent sign that they are doing the program correctly and are benefiting from it.

It is always smart to work with a qualified health care practitioner that has had advanced experience with detoxification and its side effects.

STRONG CLEANSING EFFECTS

1. Paralysis of any part of the body

2. Black mucus discharges from the lungs

3. Heavy brown discharge or blood in the urine with associated kidney pain

4. Heavy black discharge from the bowels with diarrhea

5. Tumors popping out all over the body

6. Loss of sight

7. Loss of hearing

8. Severe dizziness (or vertigo)

9. Severe fatigue

10. Abscesses developing all through the mouth

11. Loss of fingernails or toenails.

12. Excessive weight loss (this can appear when a pancreatic weakness exists)

13. Severe shortness of breath (use an antispasmodic or inhaler)

14. Temporary deep depression, released through crying, anger, laughter, etc.

15. Mental confusion

16. Skin cracking open

17. Teeth becoming loose (major)

18. Old suppressed symptoms (c.a. "poison ivy") reappear

19. Etc.

Most people do not experience this level of detoxification.  This depends upon the individual and how toxic they are.  And how many medications they're taking is also a factor.  A few people that have chosen to suppress their body's need to cleanse itself, (through steroids like prednisone) have some deeper issues.  However, those who are more likely to experience the above are the chronically toxic (from birth) who manifest cancer, H.I.V. and/or very serious illnesses.
