Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 It's okay, Michelle! You'll get through today and tomorrow in healing mode and then it'll be out of your system. Don't worry. Call in sick to whatever you have to do (including family duties) take a deep breath, run yourself a nice bath, light a scented candle, and just listen to music all day, or watch happy movies, or take a barefoot walk outside, but whatever you do, DON'T EAT! Just drink lots and lots of water and rest. If you've been eating raw for a while, your body knows how to get rid of the offenders. It just needs to be given time and space to do its thing with no interruptions. Avoid all possible stressors, focus on making yourself happy and relaxed in a non-food-related way. Just drink pure water for the rest of today, starting immediately, warm or cold. Tomorrow morning, stir in a teaspoon of sea salt into warm (not hot) water and drink that--it should help stimulate a bowel movement. Then continue resting and making yourself happy and drinking water. If you feel better and hungry by tomorrow evening, feed yourself the juice of a grapefruit or an orange or some grapes, nothing else. Some people would recommend wheatgrass or other juiced greens for detoxifying but if you ate a lot of cooked food, espcially meat, and you think it was really quite toxic (not just steamed veggies but processed, mixed, unorganic, etc.) the greens could stimulate too quick a detoxification, which might be very unpleasant for you. Your choice. I would prefer to go the lighter, gentler way. All my blessings, -Storm rawfood , " Michelle Smith " <michellesmith0 wrote: > > Help!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Thank you Storm I will do this immediately! Funny how quickly the body gets used to having a clean system. Just an hour after I ate this stuff (and it was a lot of bread and margarine and chicken, etc) I was feeling absolutely polluted and horrible! Thanks again. _____ rawfood [rawfood ] On Behalf Of Love Food Lane 16 April 2007 19:23 rawfood [Raw Food] Re: Fell off the wagon!! It's okay, Michelle!
