Question: Can I experience cleansing symptoms when using the Cardisuit?
Answer: Some people who use the Cardisuit CO2 bath may experience a cleansing reaction before their symptoms begin to improve. This process, which might be experienced as a temporary aggravation of symptoms, could happen immediately or after a few weeks of CO2 bathing.
What happens when we get an initial aggravation is similar to what happens when a person quits smoking. The new non-smoker may not feel well at first, and it may take a while before the physical benefits are experienced.
Another example would be when a person experiences a tough time when trying to wean off of antidepressant medications. In these cases, we call it withdrawal symptoms. Usually, the reaction occurs where we have had problems before.
A way of looking at a cleansing reaction is therefore that our body is in fact in a healing process.
Although we want to feel good immediately after a treatment, more than anything we should look for change/reaction. If we get a change/reaction, it indicates that the treatment is giving some kind of result, but if the reaction is too strong, we may want to reduce the dosage (fewer and shorter sessions).
