Flu-like symtoms eh? well I began coughing on day one and chills and fever on day 2, yesterday (day 3) I felt like a mack truck had run over me a couple times. I was concerned and thought I might need to see a doctor due to the amount of junk in my lungs, I made the decision if I didn't feel 50% better by day 4(today) I would go off. today I feel better, found that many people fast when they are sick. It is supposed to help your body recover if it doesn't have to digest food. I would say stay on it, it won't hurt you, will probably even help. Although getting past the whole "sick" thing without comfort food is tough, but you can do it!

These are typical detox symptoms. NEVER break a fast on a low! Fast through til you are feeling well again, or you will extend the crisis.

Meanwhile, drink LOTS of extra lemonade, water, hot herb teas if they sound good to you (mint and chamomile are good choices). DO keep your colon very clean every day you fast to help flush toxins quickly.

Take special care of you: stay in, stay down and stay warm! Get a good book or movie and treat yourself special!!

This too shall pass!

Best,
