Detox Symptoms: Don't hate em. They're Milestones

[josh_230]

I'm on day 6 and I feel terrible. I went on it for the usuall 11 days once berfore and I felt terrible then also. Every time I try to go for a run Afterwards I feel like I'm going to pass out on the road and I can't even walk straight. Went through the same thing last time. It didn't just pass last time and I doubt it will this time either. I need the quick weight loss so I just put up with it cause I need to go to basic training and I'm to heavy to go. So much for feeling healthier and refreshed. I don't feel like that at all and didn't feel like that last time either. I feel deceived.

I'm on day 3 and very glad I found this site. Otherwise, I would think that something is terribly wrong and probably cease the cleanse.

I don't feel fantastic like the books says and other people say they feel. I do get hungry and just go with the experience.

Since each person is different then it makes sense that the reactions are different.

However, I was sitting down gardening yesterday and mildly turned to pull a weed behind me and Totally wrecked my back to the point that I'm home from work today...not good. So along with all the detox symptoms I'm in excruciating back pain but not taking anything for it. Is is possible (I've had back trouble in the past) that the cleanse and my back going out could be connected? Sounds like a stretch, I know. But I haven't thrown it out this bad since 3 years ago when I had surgery. Just wondering...

...I'm sticking with the cleanse though. I'm hoping to go for the 20 days. It's a new and strange journey and can't see anything but benefits at the end of the road.

Much thanks to the moderators for creating this place.

Hi Christine,

Dr. Joel Fuhrman, in his book on fasting to regain health, mentions that occasionally his patients will experience back pain.

If you're still monitoring this bulletin board, I'm curious as to how the cleanse ended for you?

Peter ???

Hey, thank you for making such a wonderful site, Peter!!

I have a quick question. I am on Day 6. Since Day 4, (when I felt incredibly ill in the morning, but then felt better as the day progressed), I find that in the morning, I have to be really careful getting out of bed, because my heart will start pounding really hard if I just hop out like normal. Now, I already have normal/low BP, so can the MC have lowered it even more? I'm worried about passing out. Is that possible? Also, my eliminations are painful. They burrrrn! Aren't you glad I shared?
Thanks!
Ace ;D

OTHER THAN THAT I'VE BEEN FEELING GREAT MY SKIN FEELS SMOOTHER THAN A BABY'S ....I HOPE THIS GOES AWAY TOMORROW...HAS ANYONE EVER HAD ANY SERIOUS HAPPEN TO THEM WHILE BEING ON THE MC? I'M SCARED THIS ISN'T NORMAL I REALLY WANT TO GO ATLEAST 10 DAYS BECAUSE I FEEL GREAT MOST THE TOME I'M JUST SCARED PLEASE RESPOND WITH ANY SYMPTOMS THAT MIGHT MEAN I SHOULD TAKE A BREAK?
THANX PETER , I'M SO THANK-FUL TO THIS SITE ;D

For my detox symptoms I'm getting slight cramps or tightness under the right side of my ribs. Is that my liver detoxing or something else that I need to worry about? Also, is it normal to get a chaffed bum from so many eliminations? If someone could respond to these matters, it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!!

Hey everyone! :P

I just started my second cleanse today! I went for 10 days a few weeks ago, and am going to try and make 14 this time. I know I didnt fully cleanse last time, as my tongue was still white when i stopped. Also, I just started to get a little rash :'( on my hand the last two days, and I assume that was due to the detoxification. I was just wondering ??? if the detox symtoms arrive sooner the second time around? I didnt have too many the last time, I had a few days where i was hungry...but not too bad, and then the rash..and that was about it. So I was wondering if this flush would start to work quicker this time..and therefore get the symptoms quicker this time...cause I just cleanses so recently? Peter...any idea?
A pre-emptive Thank you for all your help! ;D
(Wish me luck to make it the 14 days this time...last time I couldnt get past 10!)

I just sneezed and oddly it hurt the back of my jaw.

Is this a symtom? Is my jaw weakening due to a lack of Dorito's and cottage cheese? I've never experienced this before.

I'm very excited about doing this cleanse, lol and I'm sure it shows

Here's a question...
My right tonsil appears to be full of this white chunky material. Every once in awhile a small piece will come loose and I will spit it out. It feels really firm and it smells really bad. I have had this happen to me on occasion in the past but never to this degree. I'm guessing it's part of detoxing but I was wondering what this stuff is. Does anyone know or has anyone else had this happen to them? I'm on day 4 by the way.

hi! i received my books just a few days ago and I am starting day 3 of my cleanse! i had a headache for the first 2 days, but i woke up today and it was gone. however, my tongue isn't white! i'm not sure if i'm detoxing. i have been cranky and wanted to chew something, but i don't understand why my tongue isn't turning colors. i use a little more lemon juice in my drink, could that be why? ( i like it a little tart). thanks for any help!
