Day 140 (am sick sick sick)

Okay so I haven't been feeling so hot the past couple of days and then today I wake up with what feels like two ear infections, a throat infection and a dry cough. Is fasting for at least today a good idea? I really hope that this is detox except I'm concerned it''s just a reaction from the raw sunflower seeds I've recently started eating. Have I completely ruined my progress, and should I blame this sickness on cleansing or those pesky seeds? Anyways, I hope this goes away. Oh, and I also have my period which makes me even jollier. I really hope that this pain is a good thing and that after this I won't have to be sick again. Wishful thinking? xoxoranges

I had a similar simptoms that started when I was about 4-6 months raw. I had it all: mucus coming out of both eyes (which were red, not pink), nose, mouth, lungs, I had the most painful throat ever... (I could go on, but I rather won't)...
I sure din't look like a healthy, happy, raw food eater I should be... It lasted, with ups and downs, around 3 months.
Then it stopped, and didn't return last 7 months..

Comment by Laurie on August 30, 2009 at 5:28am: Hard to know whether it's a reaction to the seeds, or detoxing older stuff. Did you start eating a bunch of fat (seeds)? Either way, you haven't completely ruined your progress. And even if it is from the seeds, it sounds like your body is taking this opportunity to really cleanse. I've found that if I ignore little symptoms, and don't start eating better or resting more, it just gets worse. Next time, listen when you're not feeling so hot. :-) Fasting will help you get thru it faster but if it will trigger cravings or make it hard to stay raw, eat lightly on juicy fruits until you start to feel better. Best wishes, I know how you feel...
