Cleansing and nursing

[Raw Angel Mom]

I have been dreaming of doing a great cleansing in my body, but with the pregnancy and now the nursing, i couldn't really. Now my baby girl is 16 months now, so i wonder if i can do this sometime soon.

When, i am ready for the big plunge. What do you recommand to do first. I have read that it is best start with the colon, but what would be next????

Also, are there some cleansing program that are safe while nursing.

Hugs and love

If you are still nursing, it is really not recommended. Otherwise, the sky is the limit. :-)

P.S. Just being all raw is great. Maybe going to all green smoothies is safer. And something like Blessed Herbs or Dr. Schulze's colon cleanse is a great start.

Raw food is already cleansing. Why would you want to add anything? There may be herbs that are safe for nursing.

Hi, the reason that i want to do this, is that i know that i need it. For instance, i had a cold sore that pupped up this Monday. So this is a clear indication that i need to flush out. I got very sick couple weeks ago but it lasted three days thanks to raw food. So all of those little indications that are leading me to do something.

I don't think that i got ride of all the toxine, virus and bad stuff from my body and it may takes a long time before it does so.

I don't want to take chance for my little girl either, so the raw food will do unless that there is something safe that come along. I am already taking fresh home made green smoothies so maybe this is enough, which i hope.

But, in order to be preparre when the time come, i would like to have informations about cleansings everything.

Thank you

Can you do a colonic? That way you are not consuming anything questionable and you will get lots of yuck out.

Another option may be something very mild like Flor-Essence. Your baby can take it when you are cleansing or just eating raw because you will cleanse by just eating raw. I always gave it to my daughter & she loves the stuff. I brew it at home.

Nursing mothers need to understand that the body will use the quickest means available to get rid of toxic substances and waste products. The possibility exists that it could use the mother's milk. Therefore although Flor•Essence itself can be taken by infants, it is not recommended for nursing mothers. The tea is a very efficient detoxifier, and the body will always work with something that is trying to cleanse it, however these wastes should not go to the new-born.

For Children (2-12): Measure 3/4 to 1 oz of tea once or twice daily. Dilute and take as above. Sip slowly.

For Infants (under age 2): Measure 1/4 to 1/2 oz of tea once or twice daily. Dilute and take as above. Sip slowly.

Where can i find this flor.Essence Also, is colonic a product?

Thank you for taking the time to help me out.

I dont think a colonic would be good while nursing. It is like an enema. Best to be safe. Just put something on the cold sore, maybe aloe gel.

I think eating garlic cloves, sliced may be safer while nursing.

Thank you for all the info,

I will just wait and just keep on this raw food diet. I have lost 19 pounds so far. I didn't care about my weight because i didn't gain that much during my pregnancy only after. Our body will store all the extra fat while nursing if we eat more then we spend, lol.... So i didn't mind at all and this is only bonus that i am back to my normal weight. So loosing this weight is a sign that my body is cleansing anyway.

I will do a very intense clean up when i am over with the breast feeding. I read that some chemical are very challenging to be flush out from our body because they have been so much altered. Some natural therapy such with crystal, toning frequency, reflexologie etc... might help out. I need to do research with this.
