recently raw. experiencing excrucitating headaches now in my 3rd week. and some nausia at night. i can see so many wonderful and amazing postitive changes and benefits since i went raw. but i think the detox thing is finally catching up to me.

does anyone know of any natural remedies for these, hopefully temporary, symptoms?

love

hi pihourova way to go on the 3 weeks can you post a sample of what your eating in a day ?

drink some water, dehydration causes headaches at times
you also may not be getting enough food in you

thanks well, basically i have been eatting mainly all sorts of fruits because i love them! i try to eat a salad with different types of veggies at least once a day to balance out all the fructose. i also like to drink some luke warm water with honey.

do you think all the sugar could be causing this? oh, and i eat a handful of raw walnuts every morning.

i definitely think i am getting enough food. and i feel like i drink alot of water. perhaps not enough though.

i have noticed that this headache seems to move to different parts of my head. and the nausea mainly occurs at night, about an hour or so before i go to sleep.

love

can you post for example what did you eat yesterday ie:

2 apples
1 orange
2 cups lettuce
1 carrot
1/4 cup almonds

etc...

its just an idea but i dont think your probably getting enough in ya ..thus the headaches

ok, lets see...

yesterday:

2 apples
2 pears
2 salads
1 bannana
1 whole pineapple
4 cups of water and honey
3 6oz glasses of water

it sure feels like alot. but i suppose my old way of eatting did render alot more calories.

what do you think?

ok i had to guesstimate somethings but i put into fitday

2 medium apples (not sure how big yours were)
2 medium pears (not sure how big yours were)
1 banana (not sure how big yours were)
1 whole pineappe (not sure how big yours was)
2 salads (mixed greens , any dressing?)
honey (1 tablespoon per mug)

this total gives you

that doesnt seem like very much for a full day .. mind you i dont know what you do all day long either ... if yer a sitting alot or chasing after kids or running a marathon hehe

but even if you sat doing nothing all day .. 800 calories is not a whole lotta food ...i would suspect your headache is from detoxing quite quickly on so little food

adding a bit more food till your comfortable should slow down the headache

wow!! thank you! that really puts it into perspective.

i had no dressing on the salads but i did use about 1/4 of an avocado in each one. and i actually use about 4 teaspoons per mug of honey!

i walk for about an 1.5 hour every morning and sometimes evening as well. i dont have kids and i dont work. lucky me! so other than that, i dont really get any other exercise. was doing yoga but since i started detoxing, i have terrible pains in my knee and fingers. makes yoga difficult. i have old injuries from ballet and a boating accident i was in last year. i have noticed that these areas have started getting painful again since going raw. but i was told this is a good thing as it means i am healing myself. right?

anyway, i really appreciate you taking the time to help. i am sending lots of wonderful vibes your way!!!

love
