Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hi Ravyne, I wanted to check this out before posting it. From Dr. Tim Trader: suggest you eliminate the ginger. Ginger is a stimulant to the nervous system and could be causing or exacerbating the sweating. The body also increases heat output in response to ginger as it attempts to remove certain constituents. Best to all, Elchanan _____ Hi Ravyne, Adding to what Elaine has written, I encourage you to pay attention to what your senses are telling you. Your sense of " acidic " body odor is absolutely accurate, and many people do not notice or discern this accurately. All cleaning involves the removal of acidic constituents from our bodies, among other things. When that odor subsides, which may take several days or even longer, then you will have completed at least some noteworthy cleansing process(es) internally. As Elaine points out, if you can continue for at least that long, you will achieve a permanent, sustainable result. (Assuming you don't return to a lifestyle that reintroduces the same toxins into your system. But given your posts and apparent progress and dedication to your own health, I doubt this will occur!)

You're simply eliminating toxic poisons from your body (perfectly normal) and must decide to exercise a little more tolerance for just a little longer else you'll stop the process and remain toxic. Hopefully, other family members and friends will be as honest as your husband and let you know if they notice a difference. If you're the only one noticing anything, don't sweat it. Also, be sure to use a body brush and use maybe twice daily. Elaine Ravyne Hawke <ravyne_hawke wrote: Hey all! Just a question for some of you who have done juice/water fasts: have you ever had an experience with constant sweating and/or extreme body odor? I am not really fasting in a general sense, but just doing what my body feels like it needs. For the past two days, I have primarily drank water and a juice combination of celery, pear and ginger. The only exception to this is eating a banana for breakfast and have a few berries before bedtime. What I am noticing is an extreme amount of sweating and my body odor seems almost acidic! My husband says he doesn't notice any difference in my natural scent (I do not wear perfumes or scented deoderants - just a tea tree oil deoderant), but for me it is becoming almost unbearable! I've been showering twice a day, but it still seems to be a problem for my nose. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Ravyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Elchanan, thanks again! I will stop using the ginger, although, it has been helping with my congestion. I have serious nasal drainage through the night and wake up most mornings with severe congestion. The ginger seems to break it up and remove it from my chest.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I see. Suggestion: Let your body break up and remove the congestion, let the ginger remain on the ginger plant. :) Your body possesses the intelligence, the ginger does not (once it has left the plant. And while still on the plant, it had plant intelligence, not human intelligence, if you see what I mean.)
