Monitoring & Safety Guidelines
Lab monitoring, red flags, expected die-off, and practical safety support during the protocol
This page covers the main safety checks built into the protocol.
Essential lab monitoring
Before starting
Baseline labs can include:
liver enzymes: ALT and AST
complete blood count
kidney function: creatinine and BUN
any fungal testing your practitioner recommends
During protocol
Day 10: repeat ALT and AST
Week 4: comprehensive metabolic panel and CBC
As needed: repeat based on symptoms or clinician guidance
Stop and contact your doctor immediately if you notice
Liver warning signs
dark urine
upper-right abdominal pain
jaundice
unexplained nausea or appetite loss
Severe die-off or systemic warning signs
fever above 101°F
severe headache or confusion
difficulty breathing
chest pain or rapid heartbeat
severe vomiting or diarrhoea
Allergic reaction warning signs
rash, hives, or swelling
difficulty swallowing
breathing difficulty
anaphylaxis features
Expected versus concerning symptoms
Common and often manageable
mild headache
temporary fatigue
mild skin breakout
mild loose stool or gas
mild brain fog
slight muscle aches
A reasonable first move is more hydration, more binders, and a temporary pace reduction.
More concerning
severe or persistent headache
extreme exhaustion that does not settle
marked worsening of existing symptoms
persistent digestive distress
any red flag listed above
Supporting your body during the protocol
Hydration
Aim for at least 8–10 glasses of water daily.
Food
Use antioxidant-rich foods that fit your existing tolerance.
Examples:
berries
leafy greens
colourful vegetables
green tea
dark chocolate with high cacao content
Movement
Use walking, stretching, or yoga.
Avoid intense exercise during heavy die-off.
Rest and stress
Prioritise sleep.
Build in low-intensity stress support such as breathwork or meditation.
Bowel regularity
Aim for at least one well-formed bowel movement daily.
If constipation appears, increase water, fibre, magnesium, or sweeper support as appropriate.
