Question 1

What is the Gamrosu detox process?

Accepted Answer

Proceeds monthly: Prep (2 days) reduce fatty food and meals; Fasting (10 days) drink Gamrosu 3 packs/day diluted 5-10x with 2.5L water; Recovery (3 days) gradually resume eating; Dietary therapy (15 days) low-salt plant-based 1,800kcal.

Question 2

What symptoms occur during Gamrosu or Haedokhwan detox?

Accepted Answer

Initial (1-3 days): bad breath, headache, sore throat, nausea. Fasting period: mucus-like stools, increased urination and sweating, blood pressure drop, fatigue, sleep changes. Seek urgent care for headache 3+ days, blood in urine, severe diarrhea, or intense abdominal pain.

Question 3

Won't drinking only Gamrosu cause nutritional deficiency?

Accepted Answer

Gamrosu provides about 420kcal/day (3 packs) with herbs for energy and electrolytes. Clinical studies showed nutritional indicators actually improved after fasting. However, fasting over 10 days must be done under a doctor's supervision.

Question 4

How is this different from enzyme fasting or juice cleanses?

Accepted Answer

Enzyme fasting and juice cleanses often lack side-effect prevention. Gamrosu is a specially formulated fasting supplement by the Korean Medicine Obesity Society with Korea's first fasting supplement patent. We also use constitutional herbal medicine and Haedokhwan for more comprehensive detox.

Question 5

Does Gamrosu detox interfere with daily life?

Accepted Answer

Gamrosu contains herbs for energy and fatigue improvement. Taking it every 2-3 hours will not interfere with daily life. However, heavy physical labor and intensive mental work should be avoided during the fasting period.

Question 6

What are tips for taking Gamrosu correctly?

Accepted Answer

Dilute 1 pack in water, take 6 times/day (8am-10am-1pm-3pm-6pm-8pm). Meals: thicker dilution (5-7x); between meals: thinner (7-10x). From day 5 of fasting, take it before the afternoon energy dip (4-6pm).

Question 7

Should I take hypertension medication during the fasting period?

Accepted Answer

Systolic BP decreases by 8.7% on average after detox. Continue medication during fasting, but if systolic BP is below 120mmHg, stopping before fasting may be safer. Blood pressure often normalizes after detox.

Question 8

Should I stop diabetes medication during the fasting period?

Accepted Answer

Type 2 diabetes is a treatable condition. However, type 1 diabetes with insulin injections carries hypoglycemic shock risk. Type 2 patients may also need selective medication management with daily blood sugar monitoring.

Question 9

Is Haedokhwan a laxative?

Accepted Answer

It is not a simple laxative. While regular laxatives only promote intestinal movement, Haedokhwan focuses on eliminating blood stasis and impacted feces based on Doinseunggitang principles. Relieving constipation is just one of its many functions.

Question 10

What reactions occur after taking Haedokhwan?

Accepted Answer

Stools may become loose, mucus-like, sticky, or dark red. This is old waste detaching from the intestinal wall — the worse the intestinal condition, the longer it lasts, which is a good sign. Increased urination and sweating are also normal detox responses.

Question 11

Can I get a prescription for Haedokhwan separately?

Accepted Answer

Existing patients can receive a separate Haedokhwan prescription via non-face-to-face consultation. First-time patients require an in-person visit for constitutional diagnosis. A constitutional program is safer and more effective than Haedokhwan alone.

Question 12

Is exercise necessary during the fasting period?

Accepted Answer

Ironically, walking even when tired helps recover condition and reduces appetite. Exercise is essential during fasting to maintain basal metabolic rate and muscle mass.

Question 13

How much weight is lost with the 12-week detox program?

Accepted Answer

Completing the full process typically results in 10% body weight loss. The rate increases with more muscle mass, better physical condition, more food toxins in the body, and more exercise.

Question 14

Won't reducing meals cause muscle loss?

Accepted Answer

Initially weight loss follows: water, carbohydrates, muscle, then fat. But through the dietary therapy phase, muscle mass recovers and fat loss becomes primary. Some muscle loss with weight decrease is a natural phenomenon.

Question 15

Can I do detox if I am underweight?

Accepted Answer

Underweight, anemic, hypotensive, pregnant, breastfeeding, or growing individuals are not suitable. The target is people with diseases like obesity, hypertension, diabetes, or arthritis caused by accumulated food toxins.

Question 16

I am craving food and gaining weight during the dietary therapy phase.

Accepted Answer

Eating spicy, salty, or stimulating foods or overeating revives original appetite. Weekly intermittent fasting or replacing one meal/day with Gamrosu is recommended. Reduced weight needs 3-6 months of maintenance to be recognized as your own weight.

Question 17

Can I do 2 consecutive months of detox to lose 20% of my weight?

Accepted Answer

It is fully possible depending on the goal and patient response. However, if weight loss is below normal or physical strength declines significantly, extending the dietary therapy phase to 30 days is recommended.

Question 18

Can I receive just the detox program separately?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Even without a weight loss goal, those needing body detox for chronic fatigue, edema, indigestion, skin troubles, irritable bowel syndrome, or chronic rhinitis can receive just the detox program.
