How to help support recovery
This video covers how to help support recovery after a recent carbon monoxide poisoning. It's
information every survivor should know.
How to support recovery after a recent carbon monoxide poisoning
- Drink lots of good water. Use a water filter at minimum. Drink room or body temperature water as it places
less burden on the body. Sip slowly throughout the day as it is easier for the body to process smaller
amounts.
- Avoid stress of all kinds:
-
- Reduce or avoid heavy physical or mental workloads
- Avoid toxins wherever possible including household cleaners, dust, vehicular traffic, paints,
cigarettes, 2nd hand smoke, hair spray, chemicals, etc.
- Avoid caffeine and stimulants
- Reduce stimulus (crowds, TV)
- Avoid drinks or foods containing artificial ingredients such as colorings, preservatives,
aspartame, etc.
- Avoid junk food, candy, sweets, and be cautious with sugar intake (your body may have a harder time
balancing blood sugar and this could lead to mood instability and/or fatigue)
- Reduce electromagnetic exposure (use the speaker phone for mobile or cordless phone calls)
- Eat smaller and easier to digest meals. A digestive enzyme before meals may help (most health
stores have them).
- Learn more about the potential symptoms and after effects of poisoning and ask people close to you to learn more.
They may be able to notice things you don't.
- Keep a carbon monoxide journal until you and your family are
confident you have fully recovered. Keep track of date, emotions (especially frustration, anger, rage,
upset, or depressive emotions), physical health, energy levels, observations or comments made by other people
(particularly conflict or criticism), other things that you think could be related.
- Get plenty of rest.
