Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Any body having high blood pressure or diabetes or thyroid problem or taking prescription medicines or having any allergy towards either iodine or fish oil should not undergo elemis detox programme.
I would advise your husband to stay away from this programme however he may talk to his personal physician and seek his opinion.
As far as you is concerned,your rash on arms could be because of some other allergy and not necessarily due to the use of elemis and so you may use it again to look for the re occurrence of rash.However since you are taking lexapro,although 5 mg,you should take consent from your doctor for its use.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further use.
Best of luck
Thanks
