Re: [Everything doTERRA] ALLERGIC to Slim and Sassy

I don't know much about the role of with fibro other than it is an old
theory that seems to have fallen out of favor.
http://web.mit.edu/london/www/guai.html I know they buy into it at the
Fibromyalgia & Fatigue Centers which seem to have the highest success
rate (other than doterra).
I can say that I have a love/hate relationship with Slim & Sassy.
It works great for 80% of people but unfortunately people with
autoimmune issues (fibro) have to start back much further than S&S,
i.e., depending on their diet they have to do the cleanse & renew and
LLV or start with Terrazyme, then Zendocrine, then Cleanse & Renew (all
while taking LLV). So I see a lot of people who want to lose weight so
desperately they want to start with S&S and then it doesn't work because
all the other issues have to be addressed first.
That said, I don't use S&S unless I take it with food. I get a little
lightheaded and shaky but my metabolism is very high (no this doesn't
mean I don't struggle with my weight). Or perhaps I should say my body
processes many things very very quickly. During surgery they have to
watch me because I have a tendency to wake up in the middle as an
example. I have one of my friends who also had the same reaction. S&S is
a big blend. It has two powerful detox plus blood sugar stabilizing
oils. I think for some it is too much of a good thing. I don't think it
means allergic, it just means sensitive. Frequently people who are
sensitive to it can go back and use it later after being on LLV for a
while and more exposure to oils.
I will also say that candida is always present in people with
fibromyalgia and I notice more of a reaction to S&S in people with
candida. Candida does fight back and it doesn't play fair.
