has anyone ever experienced this crazy pain/craving...
my sister (who has been raw before) had started raw again yesterday after eating a SAD for a while, and she was doing wonderful until about 7 pm, when she started experiencing this crazy pain:
"I started having intense cravings and my body started shaking. I felt antsy. My hands and toes were tingling. I wanted to crawl out of my own skin. Everything just felt so wrong. I tossed and turned restless in bed. I screamed. I cried.
I had never felt that intensely before. It was such an odd sensation. It felt like a cocaine addict's withdrawal."
Then, this morning:
"I woke up this morning with a "hangover". Head pounding, ears ringing, body aching."
Has anyone else ever experienced this, or anything like it?

In short, yes.
It sounds like a ferocious detox - although that's fast. But i've given up trying to predict or put rules on how my body detoxes. Recently I had a vicious detox - about a week in, it felt like I had been buried alive in invisible mud and my head was pounding like mad. It was so bad that I actually had a small black coffee to slow my liver down a bit. I know this isn't what a lot of raw peeps recommend but it worked well for me. I needed to "retox" myself for a bit just to slow things down.
I'd suggest your sister looks at her transistion more carefully and puts a phased plan into place. Especially look at reducing caffeine rather than stopping.
I know that now I have been healthy - when I revert to healthy eating, the detox is more rapid and efficient each time (and therefore more painful).
Give her my love.

I don't know if it would be detox after just one day. It almost sounds like a food sensitivity or allergic reaction. Especially with the "hangover" in the morning. I get that sometimes after eating something that I know doesn't agree with me.

Oh Lord, your restaurant story, so funny! Poor Dorothy, drinking all those caps would feel "Ugh". Too much milk feels gross, especially when it's foamed.

It's not true.
people say coffee enemas are very healthy, why is that? Why is it good if you put it up your bum but not good if you put it in your mouth? Life is like one big joke sometimes :)
I am in Alberta Canada & have an old monitor. I also have an old computer too, but I need a few hundred just to get the pics off of it I lost on it from a crash. (so that doesn't help much) Although I am house bound due to my own mind... We for sure…
I use raw cacao powder which makes me as high as a kite. I have cacao and orange juice with a bit of He shu wu and GABA in it.
I used to make Moccachino which other rawies like Shazzie drink, made with nut or hemp seed milk, warmed up, cacao'd up, v…
Yeah, it does sort of have that cartoon look! Didn't notice before :)
Hopefully I'll get better lookin' with every raw food bite! ;) Feeling good so far.
