detox symptoms?

[Guest guest]

Hi-

 

I have been transitioning to raw very gradually over the last couple

months. I've done a couple two day juice fasts and I am fasting one

day a week. I juice about three times a week and do really strong

stuff: spinach, kale, collards, etc with whatever is needed to make

it palatable, usually apples or carrots and some ginger/parsley.

 

I would say I am about 50% raw on bad days and 85-90% on good ones.

I eat the Ezekiel and Manna breads, altough I was not even doing

that to begin with.

 

100% vegan all the time & zero white flour, processed food etc. I am

still getting rid of some nuts I had that were not raw. Had a few

small organic frozen dinners on busy nights. Not all the fruit and

veggies I eat are organic but most are.

 

Before this transition, my diet was was, for me, the worst it ever

had been. I was doing a modified lo-carb, eating dairy, fish,

chicken and some meat. I have never been much into the processed

foods. I have also had to take plenty of prescription medications.

 

SO, this week, I got sudden extreme itchiness all over my body a few

times. Did not last long or look like anything, but I was afraid I

was having some severe allergic reaction to carrot juice! It was a

strong sensation that could not be ignored. Then I also have been

getting a muscle twitch under one eye. Then also pain like you feel

when you have been exercising, even though I have not. And I feel

weaker than usual. Now today I have a " cold " . I can deal with that.

I have been getting headaches, but that is a common problem for me.

 

But the other stuff, when I searched on the net, it seemed to

indicate that these could all be signs of renal failure.

 

So is it possible that my kidneys are getting overloaded? That the

juice mixtures are too strong? Any ideas?

 

Thanks!!!
