They say you detox in waves, feeling great for several days and then like hell for a couple of days then great.. then hellish.. etc and I have found it's true for me.
In the past I have had strange detox symptoms but this beats them all.. I SWEAR I am detoxing thru my EYES!
I woke up last night with tons of tears rolling out of my eyes.. no bad dreams or such just water all over my face. It kept on until this AM and now has cleared up.
Last night I had a really bad headache that was close to a migraine. I had to finally just close my eyes and go to bed.. light and sound was just too much.
This AM the headache had waned but not totally.
Most people that are interested in Raw food and Juice Fasts are fascinated with detox symptoms so here are a few I have dealt with;
DETOX SYMPTOMS of the past:
-One time I was awakened in the middle of the night with a very scary, sharp stabbing pain under my right breast that took my breath away.. it lasted maybe 2 minutes but it was the longest 2 minutes of my life.. I am sure it was my body working on ball stones or cleansing my gall bladder.
-I detox mostly thru my sinus. It comes and goes but for YEARS I had no idea I was actually hardly getting any air thru my nose. Now that I have days my sinus is totally clear it's amazing.
-Last Summer I had really deep aches in the backs of my upper arms that lasted for a couple of days.. it was really bad and I almost went to the Dr. but I was so sure my body was working on something I just put up with it and it did go away and has never returned.
-I wrote above about the latest, I swear I detoxed thru my eyes!!
-I have had flu symptoms so bad that I would have been totally SURE I had freaking the worst flu I have ever had if I didn't know it was one of the most common signs of detox. I almost gave up on my second juice fast because it was so horrid.
-Emotional detox has been strange too. I have had days were I felt darkness bubbling thru me and thought I might be surrounded with evil or something if I didn't know this was another sign of detox and cellular memory. Trust me even if you think you have let it all go.. there will still be crap come up. My advise it to feel it, let it roll thru you and release it and it's bad energy.
DINNER LAST NIGHT:
I made a great salad last night with lots of yummy heirloom tomato, cucumber, fresh basil and these truly raw olives I had ordered online and then ruined it with a Raw dressing that I made!!! I used oranges, jalapeno and zucchini in it and it sucked. I keep trying to find good Raw dressing recipes because I get tired of them quickly and REALLY think they are important to keeping salads constantly on the menu. It had zucchini in it as the thickener and... just no. At least I have not found one I like yet with zucchini... its easy to make a thick creamy dressing with nuts or seeds but i want to save my fat for actually an ingredient in my salad. I do have a recipe for a Raw low fat Caesar dressing that has zucchini... I will try it next... maybe.
Tonight I am making a salad with strawberry, blueberry, butter leaf, almond, coconut and mandolin thin sliced yellow squash. I will use EVOO and balsamic as a simple dressing... YUM balsamic and berries!!
