ok, so i have been on my NBE program for over a week now and I can see my periods coming up in a few days, that horrible horrible time. I noticed that a lot of forum members are changing their program during their periods and using that time for detox. So I am thinking of doing the same as all these pills are probably clogging up my liver with a lot of gunk. So can anyone tell me which herbs or foods are good for detoxing?
I suffer from severe cramps during my periods so i might reserve the detox for a couple of days before or after my periods
Hi searching,
Don't get confuse when you see some of us who are on NBE are doing detox when we are menstruating. We don't do it on every menstrual cycles. Most of us do it maybe once in 3-6 months. Since you are few weeks into the program there is no need to do a detox unless your program is not working for you. Few weeks are too early to judge anyway. Some of us like me detox our liver 1st before we start then I detox again every 3-6 months once judging the body response to the NBE and of course convenience of it.
There are 2 ways that I know of to detox. The normal one will be the milk thistle. I take Now Liver detoxifier and re-generator for 7 days from the 1st day of menstruating. The more major liver detox will be the liver and gall bladder flush. You can check out this
thread.
May I suggest that you add DIM-plus into your program. It is helping me and my friends to get rid of menstrual pain completely.
I wish you all the best.

Hi crystallele,
Thank you so much for replying. Yeah i think i will hold up on the detoxifying until am atleast a month and a half into the program because right now my body is probably just getting used to the herbs. DIM-plus, havent heard of it. I shall have to find out where to get it. the one bad part about living in canada is that we dont get all of these things at the local health store. Especially the one i go to, the lady is sooo rude and unhelpful *shudder* Last time I asked her if they carry collagen supplements she looked at me like i just turned into an alien in front of her. and she said "collagen?! what is that?" lol.
I do need to find the DIM-plus though. because I usually take anti-spasmodic medication. containing mefanamic acid and i think it is a blood thinning agent so it might interact with the herbs or have a negative effect
Tell me about that. I live in Malaysia and I don't a lot of supplements from here too. And those supplements here are so expensive. I now buy all my supplements from 1 website.
www.swansonvitamins.com
They are so affordable and their service are very good. You can get DIM-plus from there too. I seriously hope DIM could help you like it helps me and my friends. DIM is actually a nutrition extracted from vegetables like broccoli which help to metabolize bad estrogen while keeping those good ones. Bad estrogen contribute to women cancer such as breast cancer, ovary cancer and etc.
Since you are doing herbs in my opinion is best you don't consume too much of medication like the pain killer you are taking. Phyto-estrogen in herbs are weaker estrogen than our body. It might contradict each other.
I wish you luck in your NBE
Thanks so much for the link, all the stuff there is cheap too, am waiting till i have enough things i want to buy then am just gonna order from there.
Thanks a ton for the link!
