Detox symptoms or sickness - how to tell?

Anyone who’s tried any sort of a cleanse or detox is probably well aware that detox symptoms feel a lot like actual sickness symptoms. You will very possibly experience diarrhea, gas, headache, lightheadedness, and irritability when entering a cleanse and unless you know what you’re getting yourself into, it can be hard to tell whether or not something is actually wrong.
Raw foodist Nomi Shannon did an interview with Renegade Roundtable, touching specifically on this problem. She talked about the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida, where people can go for a “raw retreat.” Shannon mentioned that, on the fifth day of each cycle of visitors, everyone would be angry, hating their roommates and feeling irritable.
This is why she recommends following a program, either attending something like what the Hippocrates Health Institute offers or using a good book that describes the different phases of your cleanse and gives you a bit of guidance. If your body isn’t accustomed to tons of raw fruits and veggies, you’re going to feel different for a few days if that’s all you’re eating. But, of course, if you’re really not feeling well, you should certainly contact your doctor. There’s no point in taking chances!Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
