Apparently, zinc and garlic combined in high doses destroys blood cells, so here I am peeing brown! And by the way, metal dump is gross.
An herbalist told me, and varous testimonies agree, that it may take as long as four weeks for my body to repair itself completely. And, I'm watching my body extremely close to see if any other symptoms develop (even the smallest).
Thank all of you who have shown their concern. If things worsen, I will definitely let you know. If it goes away, I'll leave you in limbo ;) j/k
I haven't rules out going to the doc, just that for over 4 years now, that has always been the last resort. My mom's biologist (from whose treatment she no longer shows any trace of Chronic Lupus), convinced me that our bodies heal themselves when given the proper nutrients. Jonathan has only needed a doc once since then... and all they gave him was motrin. Then there was the incident of my jaw trying to imitate a grapefruit, which required one visit to the ER to get the wrong meds, and another to be traumatized by blood, needles, a "burned in my brain" image of a man standing over me with a large needle while digging into my face with no pain killer, and the strongest anti-biotic on the market. Fun times!
That reminds me, I need to go get some more Colostrum.
Oh, and by the way, I started to pee normal every now and then. This is a very good thing, though not yet consistent.
