Could it be detox?

[Diana I.]

I've been raw for about 5 weeks and never really had any detox period except for mild skin irritation in the 1st week. I thought this was because I had already been eating very healthy before (vegan, all organic, mostly fruits and veggies, whole grains with exception for those containing gluten, in general about 70-80% raw).

A couple of days ago I got very sick: fever, sore throat, running nose etc. It seems like a flu to me but I'm also wondering if that can be possible that it's because of going raw, i.e. kind of belated detox? Do you think this is possible and if yes, how can you know whether it's just a flu/cold or detox?

Also, it's been years and years since I was sick, and with my healthy life style it really is a hard thing to catch a cold or flu.

Thanks in advance for your opinions !

I think that it is more likely that it is flu.

I would not expect to detox at 70% to 80% raw. Especially if I had been a healthy eater anyway.
I was a healthy eater and went 100% raw and I did not have any detox.

Well, I actually meant I'm now 100% raw for 5 weeks and before that had been 70-80% raw (for about a year).

Thanks for replies anyways!
