Alternative Medicine - January 2007

Doesn't your body cleanse itself of environmental toxins (pesticides, food additives, excess minerals and vitamins) itself? Is a store-bought cleanse---colon, kidney, liver, lungs, vascular, bowel, etc. cleanse----really necessary?
Advocates of these type(s) of cleanses claim that excess toxins in the body cause weight gain, skin problems such as acne, depression, memory loss, and all sorts of other ailments.

Can someone with knowledge and experience (only people with true insight please--no uninformed responders) please help me find an answer to this?

Bananas are around 400 mg, and I think the "suggested" daily dosage is twice that.

My brother gave my 22 year old son a Reiki treatment and he had a seizure during it. He had seizures occasionally since he was 15 but had not had a seizure in four years. He had been off his meds for 3 months, so it could just be coincidence. What do you think?

I’m asking because I’m taking this stuff called OOna 2 pms Herbal Supplement, to help my menstrual cramps. My menstrual cramps are so bad though I think I’ve gone over the 24 hour recommended does. It works, I just need a lot of it.
It says it has Cramp Bark Extract 5mg (verbenalin alkaloid 400mcg) per pill
It also has Ginger 75mg (gingerals, 3.75 mg) per pill
So far until now I took as directed. I took one in the morning and one in the evening for 3 days before menstruation. Yesterday was my first day and I took 3 pills 4 times that day and ended at 9:45pm. I woke up from my cramps and my Mom leaving, and felt pain so I immediately took another 3 pills at 4:30am. The directions say not to take more then 12 a day, I assumed they meant not to take more then 12 in a 24/hour time period. Oh and I took Raspberry Extract for 5 days before menstruation, and stopped taking the Raspberry Extract the day of my period.
I have also taken Chamomile, Sassafras, and Solomon’s Seal in the form of Tea and that help keep it down to the point where I was happy at. Though by bed time I had ran out. I took 600mg of ibuprofen at 9am yesterday, and 400mg of ibuprofen at 9pm yesterday. If my cramps get too bad again using just the OOna medicinal medicine then I might take another 400mg of ibuprofen, but I am trying to stay away from regular medicine, but I ran out of my TEA! The pain is coming back! PLEASE Help!
