“Natural,” “traditional,” and “wellness” do not mean risk-free. A practice can be low-risk for one person and inappropriate for another because of dose, duration, technique, health history, medication, contamination, or delayed care.
Pause and get individualized guidance when
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding, caring for a child, or medically fragile.
- You use prescription medication or multiple supplements.
- You have kidney, liver, heart, gastrointestinal, bleeding, immune, or metabolic concerns.
- The practice involves fasting, heat, invasive administration, large fluid shifts, or a meaningful infection risk.
- Symptoms are severe, new, worsening, unexplained, or urgent.
Treat urgent symptoms as urgent
Detox Database is not an emergency service. Chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting, severe dehydration, confusion, uncontrolled bleeding, signs of a severe allergic reaction, or other emergency symptoms require immediate professional help.
