Boils

[lovekk]

I have been raw for almost 2 months now, and have gotten a boil on my thigh for the first time in my life. Is this part of the eliminating toxins that I am to experience? Has anyone else had this and how do I eliminate it naturally. Help!!!!

Hi lovekk,

Yes, I appear to be having the same "problem". It must be detox as I have been trying to eat as much raw food as I can for about 5 months. I certainly can't say that I've managed to stay anywhere near 100% raw - far from it - but I have been having about 2 huge fruit/veggie smoothies almost daily and they are chock full of very nutritious stuff. I had what must have been a boil on my leg which finally disappeared but it left quite a scar and now I have one on the back of my neck and one in my ear. I don't know if they are boils but they are bumps like a hard pimple and I wouldn't dare squeeze it as I know it would be fruitless and hurt a lot. It will go away on its own. I know this must be due to the raw food because I am in my sixties and never get pimples anymore. Hope this sheds some light on your own problem. I love eating raw and am trying harder to get to 100% raw now. :)

All the best,
Sue.
