Nankamo Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I am on day 6 and I woke up with a cyst on my hip, a skin rash on my hands, dry itchy sore welts, chapped lips (REALLY chapped) a cyst starting on my lower lip, and a spasmodic migraine. My herbalist said I am sluffing off all the toxins and my body is dumping the bad stuff faster than my liver and kidneys can handle. I am drinking lots of tea, anyone have some suggestions to get passed this awful point?? Other than the horribleness of that going on, I am sticking with it, doing well, keeping up with the right foods but really craving nuts fruits and berries. I don't want to go off the "sweet" end so I ate SOME but really trying not to eat too many berries. Drinking more tea, (the one they said to in the book, Rooibos tea). please help?

Renee Lee Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Nankamo, this really isn't a normal reaction...even with the typical "detox" experiences that most people have. Do you have any other health issues? How were you eating before starting the W30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nankamo Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 I was eating grain free, and mostly whole foods, I did raw milk and made my own butter and yogurt. I didn't think this was a huge change in my diet, I just dropped the milk and sugar and all the little misc processed things. (no "hangover on day 2 or 3 to speak of) I am eating a lot more vegetable though, way more than I ever ate before. I just don't know how or why this is happening, I feel awake and alert, not sleepy or anything, just everything is trying to exit through my skin. If I have any issue it may be I just don't sweat, Im having trouble getting the toxins out, I was thinking I just need to drink more water. I donno, Im really confused about the whole thing. I get the spasmodic migraines from time to time and try to control them with Valerian root, it helps but I still get them. Im really myphed why Im falling apart like this.

Holly Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Do you think you're having a reaction to the Rooibos? I don't think that would be a common reaction, but I have reacted to "non-reactive" herbs before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nankamo Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 I don't think so, I just go the Rooibos today, (noonish) and symptoms all started probably last night except for the cyst on the hip or groin, that started day 2. But thats actually looking a little better. I really don't have major health issues. I had gastric by pass in January of 07 and I just have to eat a little smaller meal and maybe one extra each day. A snack of half a dozen shrimp and 3 stalks of celery would cover the extra meal just fine. I think the herbalist is right though, toxins are trying to get out of my skin but my skin doesn't let stuff out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Again, this doesn't sound like normal detox - especially if you were already grain free and ate little sugar and processed food. I know this was 5 days ago, so I'm hoping all is well for you - would you check back in and let us know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
