Cleanse, End of Day 7 and on to Week 4

August 22, 2003

Hello, everyone. It's me again. I really wanted to write sooner, but I ended up having (for the first time on this cleanse) a health crisis. All at once at the end of Day 7 of week three, I became really tired - all I wanted to do was lay down and sleep from about 2:00 p.m. on. I made myself stay up (I was at work, after all) and continued with the cleanse time frame of Doc's but about midnight I suddenly got the diahhrea really bad. It was really gross and green looking and lasted for several hours. After about three trips to the bathroom, I finally decided to do something about it - so I took more of the intestinal cleanse #2 and it finally settled down this morning.

So I started the first day of Week 4 and all was beginning to go well (except for a sore bottom, but that will heal) until about 5:30 tonight when I suddenly noticed I was becoming depressed. How did I notice? I was driving home from work when I started crying - so I pulled over to the side of the road and just let myself go. I probably cried real hard for about five minutes and had myself a real pity party. Then I mopped up with tissues and continued home. I'm not sure if that was part of what Doc meant on his tape about the cleanse and healing (after all, sometimes I think a mental healing is just as important as a physical one), but I decided to just give in and let it happen. When it was over I felt much better emotionally, but tonight I feel drained and tired again.

Maybe a good night's rest is all I need and I'll feel better tomorrow.

Dear Sheila,

If your body is demanding "rest", especially when doing some cleansing, you should listen to it. Sleep and rest can be a tremendous healer, and is one of those that's sometimes overlooked. This doesn't mean you should avoid the exercise, but if you feel like a nap, you should take one.

As far as the emotional outburst is concerned, this is not unusual when doing cleansing. It is quite common when blowing toxins and drug residues out of your body, to go through emotional experiences, and perhaps I should have warned you of this in greater detail ;o) It was good you pulled over to the side of the road, to let it run its course. This was the correct action. The last thing you want to do is to suppress it. Just go with the flow on these things and let it all hang out ;o)

Love,

Doc
