I woke this morning like I was having a very bad dream.

I felt EXACTLY like I did before I was raw :eek:

Every ache, pain, horrible breath, skin break out, near depression.

WHAT IS GOING ON?? I am 64 days 100% Raw

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? NO NO NO

First, I made sure I wasn't still sleeping, Then I got myself up slowly and limped to the bathroom and felt the shooting pains in my feet, I looked in the mirror and cried to see myself broken out and looking just terrible. WAIT! I didn't go to bed like this!!

What is going on??? I was in tears.. How could this be??

Then I thought back to some things that I read off a great fasting site,

Emotions and thinking are affected; old memories and negative feelings arise from the dead, like a detox of the soul

Boy this couldn't explain any better how I feel :(

**Somewhat Graphic**

As I stood there washing my face, I felt my bowls "leap". That is the best way I can describe it.

I sat down and Um..... Exploded?

I released a TON of stuff and as I passed it, I felt the EVIL leave me.

I IMMEDIATLY felt better.. I mean A LOT BETTER!

Within minutes my aches and pains were gone, my feelings of despondency were gone and even my face lost that haggard look.

I expected detox, I just wasn't expecting it to be a sudden hit and run YA KNOW?

I spent some time this morning reading and re reading some of the sites on detox and now that I have been through this, I am now having a deeper understanding of what is being said.

It also gives me a sense of confidence that as long as I stay raw and embrace these moments as inevitable and good for me, then I will be just great.

I have heard the detox stories from others here and I never grow tired of hearing how Detox manifests itself because, it is a very personal thing and it happens in such different ways!

The one thing that I am so very please with is, that I did NOT leave RAW even for one second. I admit feeling terrible feelings immediately like all my hard work was in vain and was raw really the right thing for me thoughts but as it turns out it was.............

TRICKY DETOX!!!

Thanks for sharing that - I will try to remember this when my day comes. I have been amazed at how quickly my body does detox things. Minutes after a shower my skin is already excreting toxins. Pimples flame up within an hour. I do wish I knew what I was detoxing. I wish I could tell if it was old stuff or maybe some pesticide residue that I failed to get off of some leafy green?

Wish my detox if that's what this is would go as fast as yours. I had a migraine last Friday and have since had a headache on and off mostly on. I hope this is just detox 'cause it's getting old. Went most of my life with very few headaches and I don't have much tolerance left here. Any suggestions anybody?
