Preeclampsia is a condition which may occur during pregnancy and is characterized by high blood pressure, protein in the urine, headaches, swelling (edema) etc. The condition not only affects the mother but also the fetus, by preventing adequate nutrition from crossing the placenta. So, it can be very serious. From a naturopathic perspective, I believe this condition may be another example of the body's inability to eliminate properly. Therefore, toxic wastes are building up in the bloodstream and organ systems. While Vitamin C and Vitamin E are antioxidants, and can help neutralize certain acid wastes they do very little to help elimination. Because the condition can be very serious, the appropriate therapies for you need to aggressively address adequate kidney, liver, lung and digestive system support. Please seek the advice of a trained health care professional to help. http://www.countrydoc.com Dr. Karen Benton, Naturopathic Physician
