Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Okay, so I don't know how to spell, but I'm pretty sure I'm experiencing. Why does this happen to me, did everyone go through this when they decided to go raw??? It also happened when I was on my raw retreat! Maybe I'm just friggin crazy! (Okay, not I'm venting) I cried all day today, I mean, pure withdrawal!!!! I mean full blown, I'm too hot, I'm too cold, I just wanna die, kick off my shoes, I wanna hurt someone withdrawal!!!!! I've only been like this one other time... during my raw retreat. I locked myself in a room, and I had this overwhelming desire to do something that felt good, because nothing it seemed felt good. What is this????? Any raw fatties, like me, ever have this?? It's so weird because it's never an urge to eat something other than raw, it's always just an urge to do something pleasurable and pain just seems soooooooo big and sooooo... I dunno. Maybe I should try OA.... =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Ok, didn't get to finish my first email. I had these same symptoms, like going through prescription drug withdrawal. I had pain and I was perspiring a lot and freezing cold. I have been in pain for 5 or so years and my pain threshold isn't very high. I had times that I put cooked food in my mouth and spit it out. I am a lot better than I was. Someone who is a long time rawfoodist could probably tell you better, but I was told that if I'm going raw and cleansing, god knows what my body is releasing into my blood stream. I'm not experienced with OA, but I at least had the pain and withdrawal. Now it's getting easier. It's been closer to 3 months raw.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I'm must say I'm getting pretty fed up with detoxing. You expect to feel great, have all this energy, and I've been feeling pretty awful. OK, there are flashes of feeling great, but not that many, to be honest. I'm considering doing a Master Cleanse to get the whole detoxing thing over with quickly. Blech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hi Debra, I did experience this briefly and have had clients experience this as well. I do think it is a physical withdrawal, particularly from the opiod qualities of grains. Eat lots more fruit and you will feel better. Exercise if you have the energy (it increases endorphins) rest a lot if you don't have energy. It will pass!!! You will feel better soon. I promise. :-) All the best, Audrey www.rawhealing.com > " debrenanicole " <debrenanicole >rawfood >rawfood >[Raw Food] Withdrawal....(sp?) >Thu, 26 Apr 2007 05:07:04 -0000 > >Okay, so I don't know how to spell, but I'm pretty sure I'm >experiencing.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hi, Thank you for sharing with us your experiences which must surely feel very vulnerable and delicate. Please be encouraged for I feel that this is a very normal process of purging of old habits and emotions which can be exceptionally difficult. I believe food and emotions and perception are intrisically tied together for all is one and the same. When I went raw, personally it felt like lots of emotions of negative and unwanted natured surfaced and expulsed. They had the tendancy to want to stay in, if that makes any sense. I believe that the negativity manifested in urgings and compulsion of old habits that were tied with certain feelings, like self pity or vehement anger over some imagined injustice. In my cleansing insanity, these emotions and feelings took on a life of their own, as if you could describe (and I did see) as self-coherent entities -- or do dare I say demons? (Daemon in computer technology is any program embedded in a machine host that repeats to perform some task in a robotic manner, much in the same way a habit may manifest in a human/mind/body/spirit complex host ). I knew if I went back to my old ways it would quell or calm that emotional storm in a temporary satisfaction and pleasure, but that just means the turmoils would go back to the depths from whence they came only to surface again at the most inopportune times to pull the rug out from under me (sheesh, tempers are no fun!). It took me about 30-40 days then I felt this newness and complete sparkling joy and freedom that I had not known since I was a child. That mystical magical sense of being returned. Isn't it fun and fantastic to experience the same vividness of colors, emotions, crispness of sounds and joy that abounds from innocent child-like heart engaged in perpetual newness and adventure? But I believe this cleansing comes in waves. I'm still working on some of the most deapseated and deeply rooted conditionings and emotional troughs -- but the bright side is that when once overcome they lead to ever and greater peaks as we become ever more informed and entrenched in the ways of acceptance, love and learning.
