Illness

[Joanna.K]

Ive been raw for about 3months now. The only kind of illness i usually get is the odd cold or period pains. However, this weekend i began feeling more and more sick, weak and hot/cold symptoms. Throughout the night it got worse, the sickness almost went away but my head began to pound and almost all strength had gone from me, standing up caused me to nearly faint a couple of times and the whole hot/cold at the same time persisted.

I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this after going raw? I cant say ive had this before or at least not for many many years. Perhaps it was from not washing my fruit/veg enough? I dont know... just trying to figure out what it could of been. Im slightly cautious of raw now even though i totally know it outweighs non raw and 100% non vegan.

Anyway, over n out.

3 months is not long enough to be detox free. In fact, unless you live in paradise (perfect air quality, fresh organic produce, no stress, etc., etc.) you will continue to detox on raw. It could be that you have caught a virus from someone or it could be detox. During a detox (or illness) I find it best to juice, juice, juice! I hope you are feeling better!

Although, the "nearly faint" and your other symptoms would concern me that your blood sugars are too low (or hypoglycemic) because that's what usually happens.
