Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 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!!! oak1day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
