Thank you so far for the suggestions. Are there any “home remedy” type intestinal/bowel cleases that people out there find particularly powerful and helpful? About how long do these take and what are is the extent of their effect? I really want to get completely “clean” and empty inside, the quicker the better! Thanks again. Keep posting everyone!
David Wolfe also talks about salt water at his retreats…he says he spent one day at the ocean and drank as much ocean water as possible and felt great the next day…he left out everything that happened in the middle…hehe…thanks willmize…I think I will follow your cleanse this weekend…I will let you know how it comes out…hehe…xox
Thank you everyone for your great suggestions! Willmize, I think I will try that salt water cleanse this weekend. How often can one so such a cleanse? Weekly, monthly, whenever necessary? Keep those responses coming! I am very curious about what methods work well for colon flushing.
You can saltwater flush as often as needed.. your body does not absorb the salt…
I went on a seven day grape juice cleanse after reading some literature on the miraculous healing power of grapes,
I also was receiving colonics which really helped me through the process of detoxification.
HELP!!!!
After being raw for sometime, I had to stop in July of 2008 due to my job status. Now that I have a great job, I've been live for about a week, mostly doing an apple-beet-spinach-carrot-celery juice everyday. I also have coconut water with bananas, dates, and cacao in the morning and about 3 liters of water a day. Intuitively, I'm staying away from citrus juice and I don't really have an appetite for complicated foods.
PROBLEM: I feel LOUSY!! For the first two days, my eyes were bloodshot red. They finally cleared up, but my chest feels congested, I have body aches, and coughing a sneezing are my two best friends currently. When I drink the apple/vegetable mixture or water I feel tons better. It feels like something's trying to get a hold of me, but it can't quite do it. I know it sounds crazy.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? If so, what did you do? I"m just going to push on through and hopefully by the second week, it'll be a little better. Any response would be greatly appreciated.
