Detoxing?

[Smashdeezel]

Hello Everybody,

I am two weeks into my raw diet and absolutely loving the benefits. However, I have been so sick for the past week, and I feel like I'm going through a heavy detox.

The symptoms:
*Chest cough (phlegmy deep cough)
*Runny nose
*Fatigue and weakness
*Mentally slow/foggy

I have never blown my nose so many times than I have in the past week. The mucus is flowing like a river! :p I also quit smoking a week ago, so I'm sure my body is "cleaning house."

I was wondering, if anyone else has experienced a detox like this and how long it lasted? Its been going strong for a week now and I'm so tired of being woozy and ill. Is there a way to speed up the process? Any recommendations on vitamins, foods, teas?

Thanks so much! I hope you all are having a lovely day :)

Hi,

So sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, but happy to hear you are detoxing.

The final time I quit smoking, I had these symptoms for about 1 week, the first time I went raw, I had these detox symptoms for about 1 week also.

Although you could actually have a cold or the flue on top of all of this, which is a detox in itself.

Just to let you know, whatever it is, it will pass. cold, flu, detox, from cooked or smoking.

just enjoy the process of clearing out all that yucky stuff.

and CONGRATULATIONS on your new healthy choices.

blessings,
Rawpriestess
