    Can someone tell me if detox would be quicker if I fast.? I was thinking of doing a 3 day juice fast and wonder if it would help with how yuck I am feeling?? I am on day 14 of raw.
    Thanks

    What do you mean by "yuck" ? When ever I feel lathergic and don't know why, I give myself a good purge(BM) and that usually does the trick.

    Headache, bloated, eyes hurt. It seems after I eat, I get this feeling in my stomach like I am hungry, but I just ate a large amount of "whatever" (all raw). I do feel tired but i believe it is from detox. I want to speed up the process, but safely. Any suggestions?

    Anne,

    I felt like this today. I felt kind of flu-like, but not really very bad. Just enough that I wanted to crawl into bed, and not enough to fall asleep, so I got up and read magazines.

    I drank some white tea with some chinese flower tea, honey and lemon juice. I also drank more water than usual and some miso soup. I believe when you are detoxing to keep it simple so your body can finish it's job ridding of the toxins instead of digesting and breaking down foods. When I am detoxing I feel better going without much food. I sometimes drink watered down citrus juices as well.

    I notice that when I lose weight, I sometimes detox. I believe this may be the toxins in the stored fat that are moving through my system.
