If your drainage pathways are not open and clear, detoxing will worsen symptoms and cause histamine and herxing reactions. When you skip drainage before detoxing, toxins, waste, debris and pathogens are recirculated and reabsorbed into your body, which will make you feel sicker and impede healing.

Estrogen also plays a role in stimulating the activity of osteoblasts, cells that build new bone tissue.
Undiagnosed Vitamin & Mineral Insufficiencies Create Health Problems.
Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

Iron, vitamin D, iodine, zinc, and selenium are all important micronutrients for thyroid health, and many women have insufficiencies in at least one of them.
