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. Drainage is an important first step in any healing protocol.
