detoxification

[Guest guest]

I am a new raw foodist and I have been reading a great deal about the

process of detoxification once the body goed from cooked to raw. i am

interested in hearing about first hand accounts of what to expect

with detoxification. So if you can please share your exprience it

would be greatly appreciated.

[Guest guest]

I can tell you from my own experience.....where to begin?

Headaches (migranes), joint aches especially in my jaw, neck and upper back,

fatigue, coldness, swelling (edema), rashes and/or acne in areas around lymph.

odor under arms, abdominal bloat, foggy and dizzy, burning eyes, kidney

infection, yeast infection, etc, etc, etc.

It definitely depends on how sick the body is to begin with.

Hope this helps!

Ravenesse,

 

I have read about a multitude of things that can happen but all

I experienced was a few mouth sores and a touch of mouth biting.

 

You may get no symptoms at all!

I would suggest drinking wheatgrass juice (2-6 oz.

daily) to detoxify your body before and during

transition to a raw diet. In my case I changed

literally overnight from a 'mock' vegetarian diet

(heavy on refined flour, sugars, cooked oils,

occasional fish) and experienced no adverse effects, I

have drank wheatgrass regularly for 18 years, and not

eaten meat for 28 years.

I just bought a juicer, but it uses centrifugal force

so I can't juice wheatgrass. I can't afford a

separate wheatgrass juicer at this time. Can the

juice be purchased at a health food store, and is it

beneficial (I know it cannot be as beneficial as

fresh, but does it even come close)? If so, what are

the best brands?

Unfortunately, there is no substitute for fresh

wheatgrass juice, it begins to oxidize after 10+

minutes, thus losing many of its beneficial qualities.

I have tried the powder (as well as Green Magma and

spirulina) and it does not provide the same

nutritional energy; I haven't tried the frozen juice,

there may be some value in it, certainly if you feel

any effect you will know! It is a drag that you need a

separate juicer for wheatgrass (unless you use the

Green Machine), but the benefits from regular intake

of the juice certainly offset any extra expenditure! I

have met people who have healed serious illness with

wheatgrass (and the living foods diet). It kept me

(relatively) healthy through a dark period of

otherwise poor nutrition and substance abuse. Speaking

of which, coffee was the hardest drug for me to quit!

It took 2 weeks of withdrawal, which I went through

while on vacation. Main symptoms were headaches and

irritability. I used to drink 2-3 cups of Turkish drip

for breakfast, and then 3-4 expresso drinks during the

day. I had no problem falling asleep at night (thanks

to alcohol consumption!) but I would inevitably wake

up at 4-5 AM. I switched to Inka and other grain

beverages, but also continued drinking black tea until

I got onto raw foods. Now it's green and herbal teas,

with the occasional indulgence of chai with soy &

honey...

Sounds like you had a miserable time.

 

The flip side to this: I did 40 days of raw food recently - I quit coffee,

quit my beloved diet Pepsi, and quit eating one of the major food groups,

chocolate. No, I did not do this gradually; I read about it, and then set

a date to do it....followed raw food principles faithfully - not once did I

lapse.

 

The results: I had NO detox - none, nada, nyet, whatever. I never even

had a twinge of a headache from giving up caffeine. (And we won't even go

into how many years I drank coffee.) I would certainly think that if I

were going to have any effects, I would have had them right away. At least

that makes sense to me.

 

If anyone is considering eating raw, but the detox heebie-jeebies have you

worried, rest assured it's not as bad as you may think.

 

Jump in and just do it.

Good testimony! Time to jump in with my own. Never had any detox problems, in

fact, felt so fabulous from day one, that I felt pretty " high " and a thread of

euphoria woven throughout my entire experience of life. I wasn't expecting any

effects for a long time either way, so naturally it was a wonderful bonus. And

this is considering that my body was so " toxed " that I literally could never get

a full body massage because every time I tried, I got the most beastly migraine

of my " beastly migraine " Life.

 

Loved hearing about your phenomenal experience, BJ!
