Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hey all! Just a question for some of you who have done juice/water fasts: have you ever had an experience with constant sweating and/or extreme body odor? I am not really fasting in a general sense, but just doing what my body feels like it needs. For the past two days, I have primarily drank water and a juice combination of celery, pear and ginger. The only exception to this is eating a banana for breakfast and have a few berries before bedtime. What I am noticing is an extreme amount of sweating and my body odor seems almost acidic! My husband says he doesn't notice any difference in my natural scent (I do not wear perfumes or scented deoderants - just a tea tree oil deoderant), but for me it is becoming almost unbearable! I've been showering twice a day, but it still seems to be a problem for my nose. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Ravyne " Nobody down here but the FBI's most unwanted.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 You're simply eliminating toxic poisons from your body (perfectly normal) and must decide to exercise a little more tolerance for just a little longer else you'll stop the process and remain toxic. Hopefully, other family members and friends will be as honest as your husband and let you know if they notice a difference. If you're the only one noticing anything, don't sweat it. Also, be sure to use a body brush and use maybe twice daily. Elaine Ravyne Hawke <ravyne_hawke wrote: Hey all!

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Thanks Elaine! Yes, I am using a body brush. Just glad it isn't anything abnormal going on *laughs* and I will definitely wait it out. " E.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I used to use ginger early on, and it often would seem to have the affect of making my perspiration rate increase. RE: odor, frequently when I seem to be going through a kind of detox time, everything, including myself, seems to smell bad. Usually lasts just a few days, and then things are back to normal. I've been avoiding things like ginger, cayenne, garlic, onions, etc., in general now. I used to love them, but my tastes have changed as my body changes, I guess!
