a little bend in the road on Day 5

One of my naturopathic health care providers has pulled me off the cleanse FOR NOW. Apparently feeling this shaky, dizzy and wobbly is NOT normal and can be an indication of a high level of toxins being dumped into my system from my liver.If I don't pay attention she says there is a risk of a histamine reaction... although what that would entail I'm not quite sure. But she also mentioned that I could experience some heart flutters if I do this too fast. She says my body just isn't ready for the cleanse (and I DID jump the gun by 2 days) so I am to just do the shakes until after my appt with her on Feb 4th. Quite often she has people go 4-6 weeks on the shakes before they start the cleanse process.

So... I am now having some home made veggie and rice soup and will be back to the shakes tmrw and continue from here.

  1. Holy Lesli!! too much too fast .. you can always try a "gentle" cleanse. That is having a cleanse drink periodically before bed so that your organs are being cleaned while you sleep. That way, it's not so intense and you're still benefiting from the nutrients of the cleanse drink. Keep us posted! Nichelle
