Hey there, I'm Melissa, and I am happy to present this class to you for free. I want to do this because I love the GAPS diet, and I am a "GAPSter" myself. 

What happens sometimes in the GAPS diet is you have die-off from when you start detoxing. Anytime that you have die-off from detox, whether from the GAPS diet or not, there are symptoms that come along with the detox and those die-off symptoms can be very uncomfortable. So, I want to just share with you some remedies that can be very helpful and how to use them to help you get through the detox phase of whatever it is that you're doing. I did this presentation to a group of GAPSters and decided to just recycle it and share it with you for free, so I hope you enjoy it.  

First, I need to read this disclaimer: The information in this presentation is used is to be used for education only. The suggestions here should not replace the advice of your medical doctor and I never suggest that you stop any prescription medications you're currently taking. I am not a physician, and I am not making healthcare decisions for you. I am not prescribing and I am not diagnosing. It is your choice to use the information provided here and in any future communications with me regarding homeopathy and natural supplements. Furthermore, piracy is a crime. I do expect you to share this freely and credit me when you share it. Thank you for that. Just don't use this as your own work.  

I am going to assume right now that you have never taken a class from me, so I'm going to go through some of the basic things here in the beginning to be sure that you're successful. To start off with the basics, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann was born in 1755 and died in 1843. He was a German physician who despised the treatments of his day. What he was doing to his patients were was causing very awful side effects, and he really hated the death rate. He was a very kind and gentle man and didn't like what the treatments were doing, so he decided to leave his profession as a physician. He went to just translate medical textbooks from his native language into other languages and vice versa. As he was translating text, he ran across a text that said cinchona bark could help with the symptoms of or maybe even cure malaria. He was thinking that that didn't make sense to him. There were other herbs and things that had the same properties as cinchona bark, so why wouldn't they cure or help the symptoms of malaria? He started doing experiments on himself and his family members. It wasn't homeopathic yet - he was using the crude forms - but every time he used the cinchona bark, he got the symptoms of malaria. This was in its crude, whole form. 

That's how homeopathy started. For years, he used the crude form, but then he still saw the side effects. He got the symptoms of malaria, and he didn't want to do that to his patients, so he continued to develop homeopathy for the rest of his life. He finally figured out that if he diluted the crude substance and succussed the liquid, that it had a much more gentle and curative effect. He continued for the rest of his life to develop homeopathy in that way. Homeopathy is based on the law of similars. That means "like cures like." Let's take the red onion, for example. What happens in the kitchen when you're cutting up a red onion? Your eyes might water, burn, and sting. You might sneeze, or your nose might run. When we turn the red onion into homeopathic medicine, it can cure those symptoms that the whole form can cause. The homeopathic red onion is called Allium Cepa, and in the homeopathic form, you can give that to help uproot the conditions of allergies, hay fever, and colds, and maybe even a flu that has those symptoms. That's the law of similars.  

Homeopathy is not vitamins, supplements, herbs, essential oils, apple cider vinegar, manuka honey, acupuncture, all the things that you can think of. Homeopathy is none of those things. Homeopathy is actually a system of medicine - it is medicine - and it needs to be used wisely. I'll talk to a lot of people who think they use homeopathy because most people equate homeopathy to holistic medicine. That's just not true. Homeopathy is inexpensive and attainable. You can order straight from pharmacies or go to the store and buy it. You don't need a prescription. It is natural, powerful, safe, effective, gentle, and uprooting. Homeopathy actually uproots conditions without suppression while allopathic medications suppress the the symptoms. We're going to talk about symptoms in a minute, but by suppressing the symptoms, you think you're all better and everything's good. Really, you haven't uprooted the condition. Homeopathy does do that for us. 

A few important do's and don'ts, or “rules,” around using homeopathy: 

• DO wait at least 15 minutes before and after taking remedies to eat or drink anything other than water. Sometimes you'll hear me say five minutes, but here's the difference. Best practice is 15 minutes. I want to teach you that the very best thing you can do is 15 minutes. If you're taking several remedies in the morning when you have to get out the door to go to work or school, and you have to eat but waiting that long hinders you from getting out the door on time, you can do five minutes and it really is okay. If you're only taking two remedies a day, maybe you choose to take one in the morning and one at night, then it's really best practice to take to wait 15 minutes before and after taking those remedies before you eat or drink anything other than water. 
• DO own a homeopathic kit in the 200th potency as well as the 30th potency if you can. Here's why - you can easily buy 30 potencies in the stores, but 200 potencies are harder to find in the store. If you order a 200c kit, then you'll have what you need on hand in the case of a situation. Let's say your your child starts vomiting in the middle of the night. What are you going to do if you don't have a kit? You can't run to the store in the middle of the night. If you order it, it's going to be at least two days before it gets there. If you have a kit, you can start administering the medicines right away which help a lot faster. It can be a lot better to go ahead and start administering homeopathic medications rather than wait until they come in the mail or you get to the store. 
• DO limit or eliminate mint, tea tree, and camphor products because they can cancel the action of the remedies in some people. 
• DO store your homeopathic medicines in an organized fashion in a proper place. That means away from extreme heat, extreme cold, and EMFs (electromagnetic fields). Store remedies away from your microwaves, cell phones, computers, Wi Fi routers, and all of the electronics. That doesn't mean that you can't walk into a room with those things because we really can't get away from them, but I wouldn't store them long term next to any of those things. As a side note, if you have a microwave, throw it out. You don't need it and you shouldn't have it. Get a toaster oven and use your stovetop. Yes, it takes more time and planning, but you'll get used to it. We've been doing that for years.  All right, back to do's and don'ts. 
• DON’T touch the inside of the cap or bottle with your tongue or fingers. 
• DON’T buy remedies from Amazon or any pharmacy that you've never heard of before. 
• DON’T open medicine bottles in the presence of strong smells like perfume, essential oils, food, or chemicals. Those things can cancel the whole bottle of remedy. You just want to be careful with your precious remedies, right? 
• DO Keep track of your symptoms, keep track of how you're healing, keep track of your remedies. Symptoms are our signs which point us to the right remedy. Without symptoms, we don't know where to go. Without signs, we don't know where to go. Use the symptoms, use the signs, and don't push them deeper into the body by suppression. Also, don't stop and stare at the sign. We don't need to stop, and we don't need to focus on the terrible symptoms that you're having. I want you to focus on the health that's coming, because what you focus on is magnified. When you magnify the negative things in your life, they are going to get bigger in your sight. When you magnify health and truth and love and peace, all those things are going to get bigger in your life. Magnify the right things.  

One thing that can happen with die-off is skin conditions like eczema, so you might have some eczema pop up. What I'd like for you to do with these numbers one, two, and three is to start with number one, then move to number two if it's not working after six to eight weeks, and so on. So, you'll do number two for six to eight weeks. If there's zero change, and I mean ZERO change, then you move on to number three. 

One is Hepar Sulph 200c, two doses per day. In addition to Hepar Sulph 200, add Arsenicum Album 200c, two to three doses per day, if there's severe itching. These two are taken separately, so you're not taking Hepar Sulph and Arsenicum Album at the same time. They're at least 15 minutes apart. Then, Coffea Cruda 200c as needed if itching prevents sleep and for extreme itching. You can use it day or night, but if you notice that mostly at night, you're itching so much that you can't sleep, try Coffea Cruda 200. Here's a little tip about Coffea - for some people, it can cause the opposite effect and make you feel very awake. That's kind of rare, so don't let that scare you. Go and start with Coffea 200, and if that happens to you, then use 30c. I find that people do really well with 30c if 200c doesn't work for them.  After six to eight weeks of number one, if that's not working, then move on to number two. 

Number two is Graphites 200c, one dose every three days. You can also add Arsenicum Album 200c, two doses per day if there's itching along with it, which usually there is. 

After six to eight weeks of number two, if there's ZERO change, then you can go on and try number three, which is Sulphur 30c, one dose per day. Those are for eczema.  

Another thing that can pop up with skin and die-off symptoms is just itchy skin rashes. If you randomly get an itchy skin rash, Antimonium Crud 6c plus Arsenicum Album 200c up to six doses per day can be used. "Plus" means you mix those two remedies together. That means Antimonium Crudum goes in the mouth, cap it, get the Arsenicum Album and it goes in the mouth with the Antimonium and those are taken at the same time. I would say in acute conditions and acute itchy skin rashes, give that a week. If it's not helping after that it's probably not going to, so then you need to try something different.  

Joint pain is another condition that can come up with die-off symptoms when you're detoxing. If the joint pain is better with continued movement, Rhus Tox is your remedy. If you're sitting in a chair for a long time or you're sleeping at night and you get up in the morning and any joint in your body is very stiff but feels better after you continue to move it, Rhus Tox. It might hurt when you first start moving it, but then you continue to move it and it feels better, then you should try Rhus Tox 30c, two to three doses per day. You can add Symphytum 200c to the Rhus Tox if the Rhus Tox by itself isn't helping. If Rhus Tox is maybe helping a little bit but you need some more relief, you can add Symphytum. If your joint pain is worse from movement, then Bryonia 200c, two to three doses per day, is going to be very helpful. Again, you can add Symphytum 200c if needed. Let me give you a caution about Symphytum. If you ever break or fracture a bone in your body, don't take Symphytum until the bone is set because this will literally fuse those bones back together so fast that it can heal wrong.  

Fatigue is another common symptom of die-off, and Aurum Metallicum 200c, one dose every three days can be helpful. If after six weeks it's not helping the fatigue at all, then you could try Gelsemium 30c, one dose per day for fatigue, especially with flu like symptoms. Let's say you've got the fatigue and the shakiness and you feel kind of like you have the flu - that's fairly common, right? Gelsemium is going to be the best remedy for that die-off symptom. China 6c, twice per day if the fatigue is from loss of fluids. If you're having vomiting or diarrhea, then China 6c is going to be a great remedy to use, one dose twice per day. Phosphoricum Acidum 200c, two doses per day, if there's brain fog. I know brain fog isn't really fatigue, but brain fog sometimes is the main symptom that you're dealing with. Phosphoricum Acidum 200c, twice per day is going to be a great remedy for that.  

Let me just applaud you for being here and for learning homeopathy, because it's not an easy route. Also, whatever you're doing to detox, why ever you are choosing to detox, you are intelligent. Proverbs 18:15 says intelligent people are always ready to learn, their ears are open for knowledge. You wouldn't be here if you were just wanting to go with the flow, or follow and do what everybody else is doing. You're different. I applaud you for swimming upstream. This is not an easy path, and I've been doing this for more than 20 years. It's not easy, but it is highly beneficial. This path is freedom.  

Runny nose and/or eyes is Allium Cepa 200c, up to four days doses each day. Remember, Allium Cepa is that homeopathic onion that I talked about, so if you have runny eyes, runny nose, or both, Allium Cepa can be a really good remedy for that. If that's not working after several weeks, then try Natrum Muriaticum 6x, two to four doses per day. You're going to use one or the other, not both. If you have really itchy eyes, burning, itching, any of those, just lots of eye symptoms, Euphrasia 200c, up to four doses per day, or Arsenicum Album 200c, two doses per day is going to be the remedy to use. You can choose one or the other.  

This presentation is a part of a free course I offer, and I'd like to encourage you to look at my other courses. I have a full mentorship program that teaches you how to use homeopathy at home, have healthcare freedom, help your family and your friends, and really find true health through homeopathy. I'd love to see you on Facebook, Instagram Gab, or Telegram. I hope this this really has helped let me know what you need. Have a great day.
