Right now I have a 103 fever and my body aches. I ran a half marathon yesterday in 10 degree weather, so my body is shot.

I am very sick...its the first time i am sick since being on raw and I don't know what to do!! sad smiley I usually take medication so i don't know any healthy alternatives.

Any suggestions??
Thank you sooooooooo much.

Love you,
Jamie smiling smiley

I take Airborne. I was told by my Naturopath it is homeopathic. I would juice fast with citrus and rest. I hope you feel better quick.

The healthiest course of action is to get as much rest and sleep as you can until your symptoms disappear. If you are not hungry, don't eat. If you do eat, eat as lightly as you can as digesting food takes energy away from healing.

Not a whole food vegan solution but I'd take a good multi. Your body might be exhausted so you want to replenish nutrients.

What I would do if I were you can do is go to bed with plenty of water and stay warm. the fever will pass soon and you will feel better for it.

Your marathon caused your body to start dumping toxins. Now you just need to let it finishe the job.

24 -48 hours you should be right as rain

Yes, i'm up with water TOO.

Probably drinking HOT(like a hot tea) Water would be the ONLY Speedup process i'd do. Hot water widens cappilaries, skin pores, muscle tissue allowing for toxins to be removed more quickly. additionally heat will cause body to sweat, which IS another way of removing toxic Acidic substances from our bodies.

Also adding a little lemon juice to water can help because of alkalizing effect.
I've heard to drink every hour a 1/2 glass of water allows to alkalize, dilute and slowly removes toxins from body = safest way.

I find that fasting on juices helps a great deal. Also - take ginger baths and wrap yourself in blankets after the bath. This helps the body to sweat out all of the toxins.

I also use an infra-red sauna - it's the best. It has an ozone generator and it's 30 minutes of wonderful.

The last thing I do is inhale therapeutic grade essential oils - as well as put them in my water.

All of these things plus staying mostly raw keeps me healthy and vibrant!

Good luck.
