Question
Dear Ms. Welles- I am 59 years old. I exercise regularly and have a mainly vegetarian diet with plenty of raw juices and pure water. I used to suffer from chronic asthma and debilitating allergies, but since cleaning up my diet, I am in excellent health and haven’t had an asthma attack, or even a cold or fever in almost ten years.

I have observed that I have very little resistance to toxic substances. For example- I haven’t smoked for many years, but I tried smoking half a cigarette a few weeks ago and afterwards I had a hangover for two days. I can’t handle alcohol anymore either. Just two beers gives me a noticeable hangover the next day. I have switched to a local organic beer with no bad effects. These are not really problems per se, but I wonder if they indicate a weakness in my system. Is it an age thing? Or is this typically what happens when somebody cleans up their system with organic food and pure water?   thanks


Answer
Hello Marco,

The healthier the body the more it responds negatively to toxins. Using a time release milk thistle can be very benefical to helping toxins move throught the body. Also drinking pure water can aid this as well.
The healthier you are the more you will see this.  Work with the liver, warm organic lemon water first thing in the AM can help with this as well.
I would need to do a complete heatlh history to be able to direct you more.
