What would you do???

[rawrawks]

I was wondering what you would do if you thought you had some sort of infecton...be it pelvic, urinary, or whatever. I am not sure what it is IF it is.

I have symptoms and I hav ebeen viewing them as my body cleansing as I have had these in the past. Today they got so loud and needed to be addressed. I am looking at mind body stuff to see what to ackowledge and honor .

I do not want or need advice on sickness or doctors or even what someone googled and found. It is alarmist to me and I do not do it.

I would like advice on what you would do for raw food, fasting, enema, supplements, teas, sleep, or any other kind of advice that works in harmony with healing my body. All natch no med intervention.

Symptoms...foggy head, headache, pelvic pain with radiating flushes of heat, side pain (which I have had with urinary infections before), urine output low , malaise, moody and extra sensitive,....shoulder blade pain too...earache too.

I took a homeopathic remedy n am seeing a lil improvement. Thank you in advance.

well? I would also increase my water intake. Have you? Water is amazing for healing as well; flushing gunk out...

How long have you been Raw? Are you consuming any cooked? If yes, cut that out.
Green smoothies too. Don't cut THEM out! Incorporate them...

[rawrawks]

Good advice....thank you soooooooooo much...lotsa water as we speak!!!

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it soooo very much!

[Veganforlife]

well the mention of your urine output, or lack thereof is a huge red flag you are not drinking enough water.
also folks that are not having successful bowel movements? Start your day drinking at least a quart of water shortly upon waking up. You figure our bodies are fasting while we sleep and the water DOES get things moving!
Good luck. Hope you feel better really soon!

[rawrawks]

Yes. I had been drinking but not enough I guess. Oh and bowels are clean. I have been doing enemas.
I also have to come forward and say that I have moved to a new town and got a ton of new friends and all the socializing that goes on here has been great. However i have caved in to cooked foods.

I felt like I was living your confession. ugh

I will now say, tonight I am recommitted to bringng my own yummy food (as I had been since going raw almost two years ago), knowing I must eat this way to be healthy and happy and beyond. I "GET IT" I do.

I locked this in by ordering ALissas book today!!!!

[katchmoleen]

Besides increasing water, I would include herbs that are known for bolstering the immune system, like cranberry, goldenseal, oregano oil, tea tree.

[rawrawks]

Thank you Kathamoleen... I love your new pix!!!! You look great. Yes I am lookng at herbs and immune boosters. Taking some today. Thankx alot.

This is just me, but I would alternate lemon juice in hot water then carrot/beet/cucumber juice throughout the day. This is supposed to be great for your whole urinary tract. It is in Norman Walker's book Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Juices for healing kidney stones. I have also cured bladder infections with this approach. I personally make sure I drink water with lemon to avoid bladder infections.

Blessings,
Heather

I'd do a waterfast. lots of rest and good thoughts help a lot too. Get well soon!

[Raw Angel Mom]

I hope you feel good soon! I am not a doctor but the thought came that perhaps something is blocking in your ureter which would explain the low amount of urine (ex. stone). You seem to have got good advice, if i wouldn't feel better or feel it is aggravating, i would search a for at least a natural specialist.

I resonate with something to neutralize bacteria (infection), fasting etc... What is your body telling you? Rest/walk, drink/don't drink, eat/don't eat, .... any particular raw food that you are craving? Try to pick on what is your body telling you.


p.s Make sure to use water in the purest form as possible. Hard water won't do you any good.

[rawrawks]

Oh thank you all. I am resting, a ton of water, taking what I need to take, eating what resonates with me, keeping warm, thinking good thoughts., will do the lemon in water for sure, and try the juice you mentioned...cuke I know makes lotsa water...hahaa.

Thankx again for all your support here. This is strange to me as I never get any sort of sickness.

Am feeling like it is detoxxing old bladder troubles from past.

I take Uva Ursi caps and within a few hrs it's gone. For maintenance, probiotics and garlic work well.

[rawrawks]

Thank you....anyone see any connection to this idea I have of my liver being taxed? I had been drinkng so much green juice and feeling my liver was overworked and underpaid...hahaha. I had lotsa signs of this.

Now this new situation...gotta be connected? Poor leever she works so hard for us all....I know I said I have a drinkin problem (green green juice) and this may have added to my siitchyayyyshun?

Heres a clue...my body wants apples, cinnamon and grapefruit juice ths morning...all points lead to liver huh?

[Aleesha Sattva]

what would i do? i would water fast. if i couldn't water fast... i'd juice fast. if i couldn't juice fast, i'd fruit fast or mono fruit fast.

but... fasting is my answer for pretty much EVERYTHING. ;)

[livin]

I always turn to Oil of Oregano and TONS of Water first. Milk Thistle and cranberries would be next. I would also review my "before symptoms" routine.

[chilove]

Fasting and sleeping are ALWAYS the best ways to deal with any ailment. The more sleep the better. During sleep is when we can heal and cleanse the most. If you can't sleep then get as much "real" rest as possible, meaning lying quietly in a quiet room with your eyes closed. No TV, no reading, just resting. Yes, it's boring as heck but will get you better much faster! :-)

If you must eat something stick with fruit juice or very juicy light fruit like citrus, melon, mango, grapes. Mono meals only and try to eat very little.

You'll be better soon!

I can't stress how important it is to rest though!!! Get yourself in bed lady! :-)

Blessings,

Audrey

[rawrawks]

thank you soooo much. Makes sense. Animals fast when in a lesser healthy condition.

Right now my body is asking for apples and grapefruit juice so I am going that.....lemon juice water too. Will see.

Thank you soooo much for all of your love and support.

[rawrawks]

Thank you for this advice...I always know that sleep is key but somehow it escaped me. Not sure I can sleep as I am not tired. Will rest though...thankx.

Well, I'll tell you what I did for my last urinary track infection. I took cranberry pills, drank cranberry juice and water by the gallon. It got progressively worse until I had blood in my urine and was literally screaming when I peed. When I finally went to the doctor, she told me flat out I was asking for a kidney infection if I kept messing around. I got some antibiotics, and it cleared up after a few days. I took some probiotics to repopulate my good bacteria and got on with my life. I'll always try the safest natural remedy I can, but I don't reject modern medicine either.
