RE: this be detox symptoms?

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

Yes, this is a standard cleansing symptom, and the best course is to let it run

its course. Your

body is simply completing something that was blocked in the past. The body

produces mucus to

wrap and transport material that would otherwise harm the interior of the body.

A saline

solution is the LAST things you need, as the salt is terribly caustic. It will

stop the

production of mucus, but it literally burns the lining to accomplish this. Don't

put salt (NaCl)

into your body, ever. The large mammals, as a group, have no capacity to digest

or otherwise

metabolize salt. It is caustic, it demolishes the taste buds (though they can

later heal). It

increases the weight (as on a scale) of any water-based substance into which the

salt is added,

altering the thermal and other properties as well.

 

Trust your body, skip the salt, have patience, it will " run " its course (rather

literally, in

this case). But it may run for some time, depending upon your history, which we

don't know here.

 

 

Best,

Elchanan

[Raw Food] this be detox symptoms?

 

 

 

Hello all,

 

I have been raw now for almost 2 weeks (about 11 days). I felt great

until about 5 days ago. My kids had both had slight colds and I

started feeling a little snuffy. Now I feel really awful. I have a

low fever and this awful gunk coming out of my nose (which usually

never happens no matter how sick I get). I have read about people

having detox symptoms after going raw. Has anyone had anything like

this? I'm wondering if I need to go to the doctor because the usual

saline solution up the nose and gargling with salt water don't seem to

have any effect. If it might be detox I'll wait a few more days.

 

Thanks for any input.

Hi Tammy,

 

 

 

Yes, your body is detoxing. Going to the doctor will just slow down your

healing progress. A fever is just burning up the toxins in your body.

 

 

 

I'm sure there are some essential oils that could help your nose.

Eucalyptus is one that comes to mind, in addition to drinking lots of pure

water.

 

 

 

More sleep is also helpful, as our bodies do lots of healing work while we

sleep.

Yep sounds like your detoxing, it will pass. Stay away from any

dairy products(raw or not), try some green lemonaid and a lot of water

to help it pass faster.

Green Lemonaid:

juice from a lemon or 2.

a cup or 2 of dark green leafy veggies(collards, kale, romain letuce)

a banana and an apple

a cup of water and blend up in your blender on high

great breakfast drink.

 

Also try a facial steamer to help break up the mucus in your nose.
