Detoxing for Muscle Pain Relief
Jan 10th, 2010 by Kathryn Merrow
Certain drugs and processed foods can cause muscle pain. A reader asked me what to do for muscle pain that has continued even after she ended her course of medication. I’m not a detox expert or a doctor (and I can’t play the piano, either) but I will share what knowledge I have.
1. Certain medications affect the endocrine system. This is why I suggest http://TooPoopedToParticipate.com Bette is an exceptional expert about who knows about boosting your endocrine system. Endocrine systems get damaged and unhappy when we put certain things (including certain food ingredients and medications) into our bodies. We need our thyroid and all of the other endocrine glands to be healthy and function well so that WE can be healthy and function well, too.
I bought Bette’s book at http://PepForThePooped.com which has all of her info in it. Sign up and Bette will send you a free chapter. But if you go to the first link, she sends out free newsletters which are very informative and also does free teleseminars and responds to questions.
2. Minerals bind with toxins in our bodies and then we flush them out through the normal route–the kidneys and bladder. Taking a very good vitamin/mineral supplement and/or a good liquid mineral supplement will supply your body with minerals to replace and bind with the residue from the medication.
You can find a good multivitamin-mineral and also liquid minerals at a health food store. If you go to one with a knowledgeable staff, they will help guide you. You can also find detox products there but I don’t have any personal knowledge about them. The staff could help you more.
There are also some doctors who can do a detox procedure by infusing minerals into your blood. That may be quicker than taking a good multi and minerals, but no doubt costs more.
It may take several months before you get the residue out of your system and feel really peak again. About 7 months after I first started taking liquid minerals I noticed several major health differences in my own body.
The minerals I take are from New Vision in Utah. They are an MLM company but I’m not affiliated with them. I just buy from them. I like the taste and they’re easy on the stomach. This is the brand that made such a big difference for me. Just take tiny doses if you get minerals from a health food store and be sure to dilute them to avoid a temporary “heavy” feeling in your tummy.
You can find the vitamins I take by scrolling down the right side bar here at Simple Pain Relief. I take the Omega Plus and the daily multi from the same company and sometimes I mix it up with other brands, too.
4. Drink lots of pure or filtered water to help flush the drug out. Plastic water bottles aren’t the best. They have toxins, too.
5. Massage can be helpful as it moves metabolic wastes and toxins from the tissues to be flushed from the body. Have general relaxation massage that is deep enough to move the soft tissue and muscle.
6. Support your body with lots of fruits and vegetables and, if you can, organic meat and eggs. They will supply you with lots of minerals, too, to help you recover. Muscles have nutritional needs. If you don’t give your muscles what they need, muscle pain can result.
If I wanted to do a detox program these are all steps I would take. In fact, even if you are not detoxing, these steps will help you have happier muscles and muscle pain relief.
