Rash?

[sisseeldb]

:) HI, I have been raw since july 26th, 2008 almost 2 months now, and I woke up 2 days ago with a rash on the left side of my chest and on the right side of my nose (where glasses would sit). This morning, 8/20/08, the front of my shins from the knee down have the same rash, also on my shoulders, and a bit lighter on my forearms. I have no idea what it could be. I have never had rashes except when I was a baby my mom used cloth diapers:). Any ideas? I don't feel sick or have any pain, there is a very tiny bit of itching. I did, however, buy a few baby thai coconuts and one of them had no coconut and the juice was pink. I drank the juice since it didn't taste funny. I'm not sure if it was bad or the rash is from the pink coconut juice. Help? Thanks, Linda

i am not a doctor, but here are some seeds for thought and investigative action:

~rashes may indicate detox - different areas of the body indicate different organs detoxing (i.e. a friend told me the rash on my wrists and forearms was liver...)
~our bodies change, sometimes new allergies develop
~many raw people become sensitive to clothing fabric they've worn their whole lives and need to switch to 100% cotton, organic cotton and/or hemp
~what are you using on your skin as beauty products? i just use organic coldpressed coconut oil....try it! for shaving too!!!
~are you on medication?

my belief is a holistic view is best, but every situation is unique and complex...best of luck on figuring this out.....be patient and loving in meantime : )
