Juice Fast Day 9: Speaking of Detox…

Were we speaking of detox? If we weren’t, we should be, because I can feel it starting again. I can FEEL it. The snotty nose, the headaches, the skin outbreaks, the fogginess…

Oh joy.

I say that sarcastically, but I do look forward to it, as all us raw vegan masochists do. We think, “WHOO WHEE! DETOX!”. Honestly. We rejoice, even as our bodies revolt against us. Why? It shows progress. Change. Cell regeneration. It means the old junk is being released, and that’s a good thing. It’s a happy, ugly time, and it’s always roughest at the start. But it isn’t a quick process. Think of all the stuff you’ve been ingesting for the last few years. All that fat, all those sweets, all those repressed emotions and toxins. All of that is still in there, and all that has to come out in order for you to be your healthiest self. That’s what the detox process is all about, and it can take years to move through. It’s all good, though… I’m willing to go through a couple of days of migraines for that.

Yay, detox…. ??? Did I really just say that?

  1. When I spent time at the Optimum Health Institute, in San Diego, we were encouraged to have 3 to 4 colonics a week for the 3 week period. That is a great way to speed the detox up with less symptoms. Of course, a lot of people aren’t up to that!
