Parabye kids cleanse

Hello, I started doing the parabye cleanse on my 8 year old. We are about a week in. A few days ago he started having intermittent episodes of vision loss. He said it would go black for a few seconds. This happened in one eye and in both eyes. Could this be a side effect of the cleanse. I did stop the cleanse and we have visited his pediatrician and opthalmologist. Eye health is good, he does have a cold. Opthalmologist said his eye had inflammation that could be caused by the cold virus he has. He did prescribe some eye drops for the inflammation. I would like to know if it's possible this is a side effect or if it would be okay to restart the cleanse. I've also been doing the cleanse protocol with my 6 year old with no issues.

    Hey Stephanie!  Yes, this could be a side effect.  You have to remember, parasites hide is ALL places in the body, including our eyes, that's where we get "eye floaters" from.  So, as you start to cleanse, this kills the parasites and their eggs, regardless of where they have taken residence.  There are dozens of side effects that can happen from cleansing... here is a list of just a few:

    Nausea, Vomiting, Headaches/Migraines, Joint Pain/Stiffness, Lack of Appetite, Vision Changes, Constipation, Diarrhea, Dizziness, Lightheadedness, Brain fog, Extreme Fatigue, Body Aches, Irritablity/Mood Swings, Acne on Face & Body Tremors, Hormonal Changes, Auto-Immune Flare Up, Food Sensitivities, Gastric Bloating, Insomnia, Skin Rashes, Body Itching, Digestive Changes, Depression, Muscle Weakness, Increased Urination, Sugar Cravings, Flu-Like Symptoms, Allergies, Stomach Cramps, Fever, Lethargy, Snoring, Bad Breath, Weight Fluctuations, Poor Cognitive Skills, Swollen Glands, Sweating, Elevated Heart Rate, Chills/Feeling Cold, Hives Vaginal/Sinus Infection Congestion Ringing in Ears Change in Stools.
