Could This Be?

[commoncents]

I have been eating 100% Raw for only three weeks and have been sacked with the worst flu. Could this be detox so soon?

I don't think it's detox. It could just be that you caught the flu.

Thank you. I did not think it could be detox so soon but was not sure.

i always assume detox when i feel like shit.

it is very possible to feel detox after the first day.

every individual is individual.

Thank you. I've been eating some very powerful foods. I'm just resting, drinking plenty fluids and letting this ride out.

i still have not had any flu/cold like detox symptoms after a full month, so you really never know. It could be either or both. I am just hoping i don't ever get the flu again, that'd sure be nice considering i never get the flu shot.

I got the flu before when I started eating really healthly. It was not Raw, but it was Vegan. I think the Raw is pushing alot of gunk into my blood stream.

During my first 3 months of raw I got really sick twice! It was crazy.

everything is "detox". our bodies are constantly trying to rid themselves of toxins. when your body is overloaded you will feel sick...but, yes, it's completely normal to have typically detox symptoms after a couple of weeks, or a couple of days or months/years after being raw. rest and drink plenty of fluids and soon you will be feeling even better than you were before.

Typically a detox, you have the symptom of a cold or flu but you feel ok.

If you are really sick, then perhaps try to follow your body's need. Need to sleep, do, need to drink only water, do, whatever. I find that chopping small piece of raw garlic and swallow it with water really stabilized my condition not matter what it is. It is a powerful natural anti-biotic.

Hope you feel well soon

Well think of it this way.
1. Great if you are truly detoxing.
2. Ok if you have the flu because your body is also somewhat detoxing.
probably sweating and elimanating lots of waste in your body trying to fight the flu

Hi,

I am on day 5 and my nose won't stop running and I'm sneezing a lot. I think it's detox - I feel great besides! So yes, I think it is entirely possible that you are detoxing.

Thank you all for your great replies. I feel like I am detoxing. I'm feeling a bit better each day and I think my body needed the rest. I have been drinking lots of fluids and I must say it is fun to lay around and do nothing.

Thanks again all!!!!

i read that every time you get sick, it's your body trying to get rid of the grossness.

That makes so much sense Circle and I totally agree. I had alot of gunk to get out and I've been eating very powerful foods, so it makes sense that I would get ill.

Thanks,
