Hello all it has taken me a while to get to another post but I am so feeling weird right now.

I have had a great Raw experience this far and for that I know I am mega lucky. Its just for the past 2 weeks I have been feeling so weird. I even came close to quiting around Halloween.

Its my skin... I am starting to look like a 90 year old woman , my skin is papery thin and wrinkly and very dehydrated sob.

I posted here and got some very good responses none of which made a difference. This weekend I went to the health food store armed with my list
( oils etc) I bumped into the owner who took one look at my skin and said it was a liver problem. He said my liver was maybe over loaded from coping with my detox and as it is the first line of defense it is slowing up on my skin.

Wonderful now I need to do a liver detox It is so complicated to do i read the detox posted by Alissa. At the moment I am adding liquid milk thistle to my smoothies smoothies.

So I am taking, hemp oil, cod liver oil, garlic, tons of water, milk thistle, B Vitamins and have a dehumidifier running and so far no change to my skin sob.

I am so sad and confused I haven't even been to my Yoga in a week!

Please does someone have the answer for me:)

It is very rare that I whine like this and for that I am so sorry

    no need to apologize sweetie!! (lord knows I am a whining champion !) first of all... don't quit.... second... breathe. know that you need to take this one day at a time, your detox will slow down as you cleanse things out of your system. You've come so far -- and to stop now would mean eventually - you'll have to go thru it all again later. So really... you're doin great....

    you might consider oil pulling ... with coconut oil which is very gentle on your system. It will help pull toxins out, very gently, it's very good and nourishing for your skin and hair, makes your teeth beautifully white! and.... seems to be calming on your nerves. (seriously) You're doin fine.... just keep taking it one day at a time and know that this too shall pass.... truly it will! ;)

    and Yeshia... as far as the liver cleanse .... I actually printed it out - then read it very slowly (because I found it very confusing for some reason)... then I slowly dissected it -- re wrote it so I could follow it step by step. I finally understood it and was able to follow it. But check with your hfs - and see if they have a kit or something -- I've heard there is a more gentle way to cleanse the liver - but I dunno. I did Alissa's plan and it kicked my keester!

    maybe a colonic would help you get some of the toxins out of your system?? I've heard that they can be very helpful when you're detoxing pretty strongly. Oh -- and make sure you're drinking LOTS and LOTS of water!! keep us posted as to how you're doing okay?
