Guest guest Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Hi Suzanne, I have thought about a total cleanse, but any amount of deliberate cleansing made me go to bed for at least a week, feeling like death. A healing crisis was a bit of an understatement! I was very enthusiastic about cleansing before I was ill, and felt that it was an answer to most ailments. However, experience has taught me this isn't always so and sometimes one needs to take things very slowly and gently, listening to the body constantly. Now that I am feeling better and not sleeping 18 hours a day, I may do a gentle liver cleanse in a few weeks when all the nettles and dandelions start growing again. I have to tread very carefully at the moment. Through looking after my diet and taking herbs and supplements I am now on about 60-70% energy (as compared with 20-30% a year ago). I really feel this illness has been a healing journey and probably saved me from an early grave! It has also taught me a lot about humility, how valuable health is, and an immense amount about healing. Regards, Liz.Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
