What Causes Back Pain,headaches And Suicidal Thoughts After A Clensing Regimen?

default
Posted on Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Question: I began taking a cleansing regimen 2 weeks ago called genesis pure. I took it for 8 days straight and began feeling very weak, lower back pain,headaches, and suicidal thoughts. I do have anxiety and take celexa and klonopin. I also had my right ovary removed 8 weeks ago. My dr thinks it may be hormones but I read that some genesis pure products contain lead. Could I have lead poisoning?

Brief Answer: ..... Detailed Answer: Hi there .... Thanks for writing in.... If you are having suicidal thoughts, I would definitely advise you to visit a psychiatrist. He might be able to assess you better and increase the dosage of celexa or klonopin , if necessary. From what I read, genesis pure products might not contain lead. I don't think the product is approved by the FDA. It claims to reduce depression and fatigue. However, if you are feeling more depressed with this cleansing , please discontinue its usage. Another possibility is removal of right ovary causing depression.. Slightly uncommon though ,since depression is seen in patients who have both the ovaries removed. Hope this answer was helpful to you. Regards, Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
