Date: May 20, 2009 08:46AM I've been 100% raw for 3.5 months now, before that i'd eat massive amount of junk food everyday. I always had a lump feeling in my throat but could never hack it up and spit it out. Now ever since i've been raw, i spit out phlegm about 20 times a day, is that part of detox or could i be allergic to a fruit i eat? Re: coughing up phlegm, is that detox?

Date: May 20, 2009 04:35PM Mucus is something that the body creates in order to protect itself against harmful things that you put into it. For example, smokers develop a lot of mucus in the lungs to protect themselves against the smoke. As a result, when a person quits smoking they inevitably yak up a lot of mucus because the body doesn't need it anymore.
Here's a good thread on mucus from another site: [www.giveittomeraw.com] Re: coughing up phlegm, is that detox?

Date: May 21, 2009 06:44AM i still have strange moments of extreme phlegmmyness , but i smoked for 2 decades so i suspect its still just working itself out  i find i get especially phlegmmy when i eat melons for some reason it doesnt bother me its just something ive noticed , perhaps something in the chemical makeup of the melons is an expectorant of somesort ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist  Re: coughing up phlegm, is that detox?

Date: May 21, 2009 07:15AM Years ago when I quit smoking I hacked up phlegm everyday for a long time. At first the phloem was dark colored with lots of crud in it but it slowly cleared to where it got clear colored. An old saying says "wise is the person who cooperates with nature". Go with it and don't try to stop it with symptom suppressing drugs or you won't get it out and I'm sure if you think it through you won't want that. Good luck. Re: coughing up phlegm, is that detox?
