1. The drug side effects that we call iatrogenic disease. Every day in my clinic, I see patients coming in with drug-induced side effects. I had a lady today taking the oral contraceptive pill with headaches. A drug side effect. I get patients in with constipation or diarrhea from taking pain-killing medications. I get patients who take sleeping pills that get all sorts of drowsiness during the day. I get patients taking antihistamines that get Vitamin B-12 deficiencies. The list goes on and on. We get patients taking drugs to reduce cholesterol with CoQ10 deficiencies. The list goes on and on and on. Every drug has a side effect. Side effects can be horrific for patients and we call drug-induced disease iatrogenic disease.
2. Coming off any medications or detoxifying from pharmaceutical drugs. Many people start natural treatment and stop drugs. This can make them very sick if they stop too quickly. Coming off a drug or dropping a drug in favor of a natural treatment can create strong symptoms, and these can be seen as a reaction to treatment. When, in fact, they're detoxifying reactions. 
3. A change in diet after commencing treatment. Many people start treatment and go on these crazy diets, these weird ass diets. They'll start drinking lots and lots of fruit juice or vegetable juice. They'll ditch all the carbohydrates. They'll ditch gluten. They'll ditch dairy. They'll ditch this. They'll start making major radical changes to their diet. They'll stop all alcohol, all coffee. They'll go on this health kick, and they feel terrible. And then they wonder whether it's all worth it. And the doctor will say, “Well, what do you expect? You went over to the witch doctors instead of me. Of course, you're feeling bad.” 
Don't make change quickly. Change needs to happen slowly. It needs to become a permanent habit for you. They say it takes two or three weeks for a habit to become a permanent thing, so go very slowly with the changes you make. Don't do anything quick.
4. Combining several different treatments, drugs and dietary supplements all at the same time. This is madness. You can't do that. You need to follow one treatment at a time. Don't follow two or three treatments at the same time. You can combine pharmaceuticals with natural medicines, but you need to see someone who is very expert at understanding this concept and who knows what's going to clash, what the side effects from things could be, what a detox reaction is going to be. Some medicines just don't work well with some natural medicines, so you need to be careful what you're doing. 
5. Improperly combining drugs and natural medicines at the same time. This is a real problem. Some herbal medicines just don't combine well with pharmaceutical medicines. St. John's Wort, for example, doesn't combine well with anti-depressants, so you need to be careful what you're doing. And again, if in doubt, talk to your pharmacist or experienced person, health care professional, who understands about the interactions of natural medicines and pharmaceutical drugs. 
6. Cleansing reactions of the body after commencing natural medicine treatment. Oftentimes the drug residues will be cleared from the body. If we look at the liver, the liver is a chemical factory that has two major cycles to it we call Phase I and Phase II. Toxins come into the liver. They become more toxic. They go into intermediate phase and then go into Phase II when they're rendered into water or fat-soluble substances and passed out of the body. 
If we look at Phase I, for example, B vitamins are a very important part of upregulating Phase I. If you're taking a B vitamin tablet or you're new to natural medicine, you've just stopped a drug or you've cut it down a little bit and you're taking a B vitamin, you could get quite sick with headaches, diarrhea, constipation, or a lot of bloating from doing this. It's quite a common thing, so just be aware that that could occur.
You may notice that I've not mentioned a die-off reaction in the above six examples or what we call Herxheimer reaction, i.e., Candida yeast dying off in the body due to effective Candida treatment. In my experience, many people incorrectly perceive aggravations after commencement of yeast infection treatment as die off. Be careful. Many people I see don't get Herxheimer reaction. In fact, it's not as common as you think it is. Those six examples are much more common than a Herxheimer reaction. Even the most experienced natural health practitioners get this whole die off thing mixed up with other kinds of aggravations. Just be careful. When you're taking a pharmaceutical drug, be careful. If you're switching from drugs to medicines or medicines to drugs, be careful. Make changes very slowly and you should be okay. Aggravations can be minimized. Try to stick with natural medicines rather than pharmaceuticals.
