WEee, day 30!

[Eleanor]

I made it to day 30 on 100% raw! I'm so exited because I only made it to 28 days last time around. I've been 60% or so since that attempt and never experienced any detox symptoms at that level. But now, after having been the highest and longest raw so far, I do feed great, but my eyes are freakishly bloodshot. It started in one and now it's both. I look like a total pothead (the dreads don't help), or like the living dead. Has anyone ever heard of that as a detox symptom, or should I perhaps get checked for pink eye? It's weird cuz I look like **** but I feel awesome.

Do you have pink eye?

[eatyourbroccoli]

my eyes crust over during detox. do they itch? or hurt?

"oh, and I love dreads and want some sooooooo badly"
They are so much fun, I enjoy them very much. Never a bad hair day!

"Do you have pink eye?"
I don't know, and I don't have medical insurance to get it checked out. But it seems to be fluctuating, sometimes freaky pink, others, just a single irritated looking vessel. Is pink eye more consistent?

"do they itch? or hurt?"
No, but they feel bone dry. It's a problem I've never experienced before. They've always been well moistened and clear. So it's not like a chronic old though back from SAD. And I'm getting the same amount of sleep as always.

The only other thing I can think of is that I started using this herbal parasite cleanse in my water with black walnut and wormwood. Maybe a reaction to that or something.

Oh well, whatever.

CONGRATULATIONS ON 30 DAYS RAW!!!



Wow, how fantastic, what a great accomplishment, that is wonderful.

Hmmm ... just a suggestion here, wormwood isn't some harmless substance to take. You might want to rethink that, parasite cleanse or not.

As for your eyes, you might want to take a teaspoon of honey and disolve it in a cup of warm water. Soak some cotton with the honey water and lay that on your eyes. You could even use the honey water as an eye wash. Unless you are alergic to bees.

Be careful. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's safe. (c:
