Phosphate Regulation

The kidney is one of the major organs in regulating the amount of phosphate eliminated from the body. The C-HP kidney remedies address that part of the kidney that regulates phosphate elimination. The homeopathics do not force phosphates to leave the body, or override the kidneys healthy phosphate regulating function in any way. Pharmaceuticals are designed to produce a specific chemical reaction, whether that suits the body or not. If the pharmaceutical is working well, the body has no choice but to react as the pharmaceutical dictates. Pharmaceuticals can go "too far", and do "too much" having a larger effect and effecting more systems than anticipated. Homeopathy works on the assumption that everybody's body is unique, and that with proper support the body knows how to heal itself. In homeopathy, the remedy "reminds" the body to recognize what needs to happen and calls on the body's natural, innate healing mechanisms to become active. Homeopathic drainage remedies, such as the ones used here, work to remove blocks, such as toxins and other substances, which keep the kidneys from functioning well. They do not force the kidneys to work in any prescribed way, or force the kidneys to override healthy biological processes. Thus it is not possible for the homeopathics to "force" the body to eliminate too much phosphate, only to restore the kidneys' healthy phosphate regulating functioning.

Taking Unnecessary Homeopathics

While there would be no damage to someone taking the kidney or liver remedies who does not have calcium phosphate accumulation or the indicated liver toxicity, it would be a waste of their (and our) time. This is one of the reasons we test for the potential benefit of the Custom Homeopathics remedies for every individual first.

Side Effects

Low potency homeopathic remedies, such as these provided by Custom Homeopathics, are considered extremely low risk. This is one reason they can be bought without a prescription. Homeopathics have been used since the early 1800s and have a long track record of safety. The greatest "risk" in using homeopathics is that of using the wrong remedy and therefore not getting the help you need. Since the remedies "remind" the body of its innate, natural functions, if the remedy is incorrect the "reminder" simply goes unheeded, and there will not be any response.

C-HP Liver Remedy

One of the outcomes of taking the Custom Homeopathics ( C-HP ) liver remedy that many report is sleepiness when they first take it. Many people distinctly differentiate this from feeling fatigued. This is a feeling of needing to get extra sleep, which is a healthy body response to a body need. To a large extent, healing takes place when we sleep, and the body's demand for this is a good sign. If the amount of extra sleep needed is excessive, it can be decreased by reducing the dosage.

Some people report changes usually associated with "detoxing" unwanted substances from the body. These can include larger or more frequent bowel movements, increased sweating, changes in urine composition, transient diarrhea or constipation, increased "brainfog", transient headaches, increased mucous, waking up at 1 and/or 4 am and in a few cases, light rashes, irritability, and emotional variability. If any of these reactions become problematic, we suggest people reduce them by reducing the frequency and dosage of taking the remedy. See also Emotional Clearing

If taking the remedy results in "cycling" symptoms, or an exacerbation of the disease symptoms (e.g. increased pain, prolonged headaches) the dose is too high. We suggest people stop taking the remedy until they have returned to their "normal discomfort level", and then resume taking the remedy at a lower dose. There is nothing gained by continuing to take the remedy and "toughing it out". The reaction means there is more toxin circulating in your body than your body can deal with, and it is better to stop the remedy until the body "catches up" again.

When the C-HP liver remedies are sent out, two sets of instructions are included. One is for a "standard" dosage and the other is for a "gentle start". If you are very sensitive to foods and chemicals, we suggest you begin with the "gentle start" and increase at a rate that is comfortable for you.

C-HP Kidney Remedies

By the time people have completed using the liver remedy successfully, they usually do not experience significant unwanted effects from the kidney remedies.

Any intense or prolonged (more than a few hours) changes that increase a person's "normal discomfort" level when they take the kidney remedy is associated with the dosage being too high. For some, this may include headaches and/or nausea. For those who have taken guaifenesin, antidepressants or have heavy metal toxicity, too high a dosage generally results in "cycling" symptoms or a general exacerbation of symptoms. If this reaction is not noticed, and the dosage is not reduced, the exacerbation of symptoms will increase with each subsequent dose. There is nothing gained by "toughing out" this kind of reaction. It merely adds unwanted stress to your body and life, and does not mean you will improve more quickly.

When there is an intense or prolonged (more than a few hours) increase in a person's "normal discomfort" level after taken the remedies, they are advised to stop taking them until they return to their "normal discomfort level". Then after one day at their "normal discomfort" level, they can resume taking the remedies at a reduced dose, and then begin to slowly increase again after that..

Dosage - A Personal Report

This is a message from someone who describes what happened when she increased her dose. Had she continued with the increased dose, the exacerbation of symptoms she experienced would have become increasingly severe and prolonged, without any increased benefit to her.

On 5/24/02 B.C writes: The next time I took the dose, I accidentally swallowed it without thinking. I decided to take it again the next night and was awake in the middle of the night .... It was a good thing, because otherwise I would have slept right through the cycling symptoms that I had. I was so excited that I stayed awake reading for quite awhile. I know I took too much and should not have these symptoms, but I cannot tell you how encouraging that was.... I know that things are working the way they should. It has been a year since I took guai, so those symptoms belonged to phosphate removal for sure.

Even though this is the fourth day of my cold, thanks to some rest, some occilocolcinum and beta glucan and vitamin C, I am feeling much better and cleaned house quite cheerfully and energetically today. I am still giving the remedies the credit here. I take my fourth dose tonight. ..... I am trying to keep my own (hopes) in check right about now.

If it helps research, I was on the lowest dose of guai, 300mg 2X day, and cycled and improved. Supposedly that is also a quick responder's dosage, but I wouldn't say I was necessarily that. Also, the major symptoms I had clear were brain fog almost immediately and my energy levels improved all along. Fatigue has always been my major complication. It is improved energy - and therefore mood- that I am experiencing now.

MANY thanks,

B.C.
