One thing that MicroGen does better than medications is that it has very few to no side effects. For example, the most commonly used pain relievers, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen, can cause vomiting and stomach irritation, but most people do not experience any discomfort while using MicroGen.
Some people are more sensitive than others, and they may have sensations when using MicroGen. What should you do when you have reactions?
What Kind of Reactions Can Occur?
● Herx (Herxheimer Reaction)
When you detox with MicroGen, you sometimes can experience Herxheimer Reaction or Herx in short. It is a detoxification response when excessively large amounts of harmful waste and toxins block the body’s natural detox channels (urine, stool, etc.). Instead, the toxic material is discharged through the lungs, sinuses, and skin, causing night sweats, fever, headaches, or vomiting.
Herx is positive feedback from your body because it means there is too much waste, and the detox is working as intended. Luckily, there are ways to help you cope with this reaction:
1. Turn down the power level. If you are using power 4 or 5, lower it to 3, 2, or 1.
2. If you are already at power level 1, reduce session time. A shorter session will release less waste and give your body enough time to remove it.
3. Drink a lot of water. Water is an excellent carrier that can help take the toxins out.
4. Pause for 1 or 2 days between sessions if you continuously experience Herx.
Herx is nothing to worry about. After you pass the initial phase of discomfort, you will feel a lot better and healthier.
● Skin Irritation
Another reaction that a sensitive person may have is skin irritation. This reaction is not caused by MicroGen but by its accessories.
Because MicroGen only uses contact mode, you need to stick the TENS pads on yourself. The adhesive gel on the TENS pads may potentially irritate your skin. If you are those who are sensitive to the material, you can try the following:
1. Cover the area with a wet cloth and put the TENS pads on top of the cloth. This will make the TENS pads no longer sticky and need to be replaced often, but the pads will unlikely cause skin irritation without touching your skin.
2. Purchase TENS Contact Kit and use the bands, gloves, and socks instead of TENS pads. You can use them as you use the TENS pads.
● Tingling Sensation
This is not really a reaction but a normal feeling of electric current passing through your body. If this sensation somewhat bothers you, you can:
1. Turn down the power level;
2. Use the Low Power mode;
3. Use TENS Contact Kit.
Compared with traditional medicine, MicroGen has far fewer side effects but is more versatile. Even the so-called side effects do not cause any concern. MicroGen is a great detox tool, and its functions, convenience, and affordability make it the best choice of frequency device in the market of alternative medicine.
