Give it to me Raw

Hello, everyone! Hope you all had a great day!

After about a week of exclusively raw foods, back in February, I had a day of serious detox symptoms:chills, fever, headaches, shakiness, the works! It went away by the next day, but recently I have started feeling some of those symptoms again. I'm very achy, especially at the nape of my neck. Has anyone had this happen to them? Is it probably detox symptoms or am I really sick? Thanks for any of your help! :o)

Please try dry skin brushing. It works the glands and lymph system which totally helps to keep the body vibrant.
It sounds too simple but is amazing. Your skin is your biggest organ of detoxification and needs this to stimulate it. Dry skin brushing is a must to avoid detox symptoms.
I do brush lightly around my neck and shoulders as there are many glads there and it sounds like you need that.
When I do it twice a day for like 2 minutes my body runs 100% better.
And a side effect is beautiful skin.
Like brushing my teeth just get into the habit.

I will try the dry brushing...I read about it today in the book Raw Food Detox Diet. Sounds like a good idea. Did you use a certain type of brush? Where can I get one? Thanks to both of you...its nice to know people are there to help! :o)

I find them at whole foods. Ask for a body brush they will know. Expect awesome results.

I tried dry brushing this morning...it made my whole body feel awake and invigorated! Thanks for the suggestion. Truly a "keeper" idea!

Do you eat raw now?

Even if you were 100% raw for some time, it may take years for
the body to adjust, so you may experience detox symptoms
from time to time, not only in the beginning.

Just enjoy the process, learning so much about your body and self

Yes, I am about 98% raw...I give myself a small amount of leeway for the sake of my husband! :o) He's a great cook! But yeah, I have been staying about 100% for some time now. I tried the suggestion from Kim Caldwell about dry brushing...it made me feel so invigorated! And you're right...I need to remember to embrace the symptoms as a sign that my body is getting healthier and cleaner everyday! Thanks!

That's hilareous. My husband looks at the sun to make himself sneeze. There's some weird phenomena that 10% of the population has that looking at the sun makes them sneeze.

Great points RG you're right, one size dosent fit all. For me it was purely a health thing to start, but then as you so well described it, the layers started peeling back. It really took me by surprise, was very unexpected, which is why I now just...

Hi Nicole, How old is your son? As far as diet, I would be giving him plenty of fruit, and plenty of simple salads, including lots of tomatoes and perhaps some celery as both are high in sodium. But as I understand it, salt cravings are usually ...

Hi Loren. Thanks for that info. I often hear Naturopaths comment on how children with autism are often lacking in sodium and reccomend increasing their salt intake. I have a son on the autism spectrum and he craves salt. He drinks green smoothies ...
