I'm so tired all the time.

I finished a hard core chemo about 6 months ago. I'm female 33, and have been doing raw for about 3 years, minus fish and the occasional lapse in will.

I'm still so tired. I'm losing this energy battle.

  • I should add, I love raw food, but I would like suggestions if anyone has any.

  • Hi :)

    My mom is going through endless chemo so I'm familiar. I know that when any of your toxin processing organs are stressed this can cause bigtime fatigue --kidney, pancreas, liver.

    How is your kidney function? How is your liver function? How is your pancreatic -- your blood sugar and all that? You should be getting tested pretty frequently and know. You should also have a blood panel that tests your general nutrition - enough vitamin B? Enough C?

    I am NOT a doctor, I am just a chick on the internet who doesn't know you, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

    If it's your pancreas ( unlikely but we'll start there) -- watch the sugar, think about adding protein and try a cod liver oil pack over that area once a week.

    If it's your liver -- add milk thistle to your greens. This is an excellent liver healer and detoxifier and it should start to work pretty fast. SAMe also works on liver function.

    If it's your kidneys you should be eating mostly carbs -- 801010 would be a good program to follow. Also, if it's your kidneys, you might want to check with your doctor about natural diuretics and fluid intake. I know when kidney function gets particularly bad "drink lots of water" is not good advice.

    Carrot juice by the gallon if you're not doing that.

    Also check your calories. If you're not eating enough you're going to feel it.

    If all of your organ functions are normal -- and I mean fully normal, not a little high or a little low, then add fat ( try more avocado) and protein. If your body is trying to rebuild itself it's going to be needing something to build with. Add up to 500 calories to your daily intake and see how that feels.

    That's my advice, but in addition to all of that I think you should see a doctor and tell him you're tired. You should find out immediately if something else is going on, you know?

    Love to you
