Have chickens and ducks.

Right off the bat, my roommate insisted the duck eggs made her seriously sick, then her dad said he couldn't eat them either. Both were insisting abdominal cramps, nausea, gas pain, and diarrhea, and my roommate throwing up. I honestly thought it was psychosomatic....since both of them were put off by the idea of duck ideas to begin with. They've been eating all the chicken eggs, which leaves me and my 4 yr old with the duck eggs. Now I'm getting sick too. I'm ill writing this - with all the above symptoms. It's pretty scary (in the moment). My son doesn't seem bothered at all.

The comment about alkalizing made me think about some stuff I've read on detoxing the body by eating raw eggs. People rave about how well it works. There's something called the 'healing crisis' or herxheimer effect, when the body dumps a lot of stored toxins at once - it makes folks super sick, especially if they aren't hydrated, and eliminating properly. The toxins get trapped in the digestive system - with the same symptoms listed above (flu like).

I have a feeling that there's a connection here. Just using my intuition, but yeast/candida jumps to mind. That causes some of the WORST herxing imaginable. On the flip-side though - could be a great thing, since riding the body of candida is an extremely difficult thing to do. Most people just learn to suffer with it...and also leads to ulcers, gluten intolerance, digestive disorders, even emotional disorders. If there is a connection - this could be the cure?!

 

Right now - I'm sure I'm in the same boat as the rest of you = not willing to try them again anytime soon!!!!! Wondering though, after some fasting/cleansing - if my tolerance to duck eggs would change? When my body is "cleaner"? I will definitely post back if I find that to be the case. A duck egg could be a litmus test for how toxic ones body is. Just thinking out loud, but interested in what others think
