RE: [RawFoodsBeginners] Detox question

[Guest guest]

Well where I am in my town there is not that many places to get organic

fruits and veggies and where I can get them they are far too high for me at

this

time. Is there a way to clean my fruits and veggies to make it better to eat?

 

How do you do muscle testing?

 

I take a form of trace mineral drops cause at times with some foods I eat I

shake and my muscle will twitch ..But when I take the minerals I am fine..

 

Can a juice fast make you sick? I mean can you really lose weight and start

feel better? And if a juice fast starts to make me sick where I can't handle

it do I just start eating food again to feel better?

 

 

Thanks for any information... Karen

HI Karen,

 

 

 

Do you eat only organic fruits and veggies? If not, that might be a factor

if there are too many pesticides and chemicals in them.

 

 

 

I used to have migraines when I ate sugar. One grain of sugar and within 2

minutes, I had a severe migraine. Sugar was extremely toxic to me.

 

 

 

So something in the fruits or veggies could be really toxic for you, either

a pesticide or chemical or you could be allergic to one or more of them. It

still could also be just a detox symptom.

 

 

 

If you know how to do muscle testing, you could muscle test to see which

foods are good for you.

 

 

 

One way I’ve been recently detoxing my body of heavy metals, chemicals (such

as found in toxic meds too) and pesticides recently is with the liquid

zeolite mineral product called Natural Cellular Defense from Waiora. Many

have called it “take-out” nutrition. The liquid drops collect the toxins

and they just come out in the urine. HYPERLINK

" http://www.toxinsbegone.net/ " www.toxinsbegone.net has more info is this

interests you at all.

 

 

 

When I went raw foods because I was so sick in 1986, I went on a juice fast

for a month and then it was easy to stay on a raw foods diet. So a juice

fast could possibly work for you. Just listen to your body. If the detox

is too fast, just back off and do it slower. I would definitely be sure and

eat only organic foods though so you know if that’s a factor or not.

 

 

 

Be well,

 

 

 

Kathleen

[RawFoodsBeginners] Detox question

 

 

 

I was wanting to know if detoxing can cause migraines? I know a few months

back I went from a process diet with little fruits and veggies to about 95%

fruits and veggies and I started feeling great..I had all kinds of energy..

Then

all of a sudden one day when I was driving I started seeing flashing aura

zig zag lights like what you might see when having a migraine. This kept

happening for sometime and I went to the doc and they said I have just

started

having migraines and I was like huh. Cause I used to not have even a

headache but

once every three months or so thank goodness..Then I start having migraines

3 to 4 days out of a 7 day week..I did not know what was going on.. Then all

 

of a sudden I had a massive cold I had not had one like that in years.. And

after that my migraines went to almost 0 only now and again when I was

really

stressed.Then I went back to more process foods and I have not had a

migraine

in like 1 1/2 months.. Could it be that I was very very toxic and I went to

fast switching and my body needed a detox so bad that I made myself have the

 

migraines? I was also wondering if it would be safe to go on a juice fast

with fresh veggies and fruits for about a week? Then slowly go back to fruit

and

veggie raw diet and then add other raw foods little by little? I am just

wondering cause right now I have been so tired again and stressed and I feel

my

body could feel good if I got rid of some toxins and go off a great deal and

 

stayed off as much as possible of the processed foods?

 

Also I was on meds for about 13 years for my nerves and I have now been off

one for a year and the other will be a year next month. Do you think that

might have made me so toxic to cause those migraines and rapid detox?

 

Just asking.. Thanks for any input and or help in better understanding.-..

Karen

Hi,

 

Detoxing can cause all sorts of bizarre symptoms. When I started on raw, I

did 100% and at first I felt great too.

 

Then I started having intense symptoms like horrible tooth pain. My teeth

never hurt. Flu-like symptoms etc.

 

I read up a bit on 'healing crises', which I knew about but needed to

remember. I ended up doing some colon cleansing and small juice fasts and that

helped.

 

I'm still having some symptoms, I think it can take quite awhile to get the

effects of things out of your system.

 

If you took drugs for years, realize with kindness towards yourself, that

that is all stored in your cells and tissues and will want to come out.

 

Take it slowly and easily. I always like the suggestion to listen to your

body, but sometimes that's hard when we've had years of being numb. Getting

support also helps.

 

good luck,

Annie

Thanks for the information.. I did not know what was going on with me.. But

I know I did have some really good days and some really bad days where I felt

really bad.. I guess just start eating raw fruits and veggies and having a

juice as a meal replacement for a couple meals that way I am not 100% juicing.

I am just tired of feeling so tired and yucky I want to feel and look good

because I am trying to get healthy..But in this day and time it is just plain

hard you know.. But I have noticed when I went on the raw diet before now that

I think about it I used to eat lots and lots of cheese.. Now I tried to eat

something with cheese and I just could not..So I think my taste are

changing..Maybe I will want more fruits and veggies and less processed food and

get in

shape and feel so much better really soon.. I hope....

 

Have a wonderful day... Karen

Hi, Karen! Dr. Doug Graham advises eating organic but if it isn't

available, commercial is better than nothing. Wash it well with

something like Veggie Wash or vinegar and peel if it can be peeled.

 

" Juice fast " is a misnomer. A fast is to abstain from something. I

think the intent was a " juice only fast " which isn't something I,

personally, would do. I like to eat the whole food and get all the

benefits. I don't think separating a food makes it more nutritious.

Just my two cents...And if you eat an optimal raw food diet, you will

naturally lose weight if that's what you need to do. I started out at

180+ pounds and am at 116 now. All it takes is eating the right

foods, exercising, time, and patience!
