loss of vitality after KF
Well despite my posting the earlier question regarding doing the KF and
Liver-Flush simultaneously, I have suspended doing both for the time being as I have observed a rather extreme depletion of my vitality since the my initial KF which concluded a little less than a week ago. It is hard to read a book, or walk for more than five minutes without feeling exhausted and needing a rest. I cannot concentrate, or seem to be productive in relation to anything demanding. I have not had this great a sense of overall fatigue in a long time, probably not since I did a cleanse from Creation's Garden a couple years ago, and after which I noticed a tremendous loss of vitality accompanied by pain and soreness in my lower back which has now returned as well.
I have begun taking ashwagandha again and it seems to help but is a long way from being completely restorative, at least so far. Previously when I experienced this loss of vitality I used Chinese herbs, primarily DragonHerbs from Ron Teeguarden..the Primal Yin Replenisher, He Shou Wou, and others and am thinking of taking a similiar route. The only difficulty is that I have in the intervening two years developed a sensitivity to some of those herbs and I may not be able to use the same ones that were effective before.
So basically I am looking for a way to restore my vitality. I have tried the charcoal poultices and cannot do that...though it made me feel very clearheaded I experienced a pain in my kidney area and loss of vitality with that as well. I have tried Eleuthero as recently as three months ago as an adrenal support tonic and it made my adrenals feel over-revved rather than better. Other herbs such as Reishi mushroom which I used to take on a regular basis have the same effect now as well.
So I am trying to come to terms with the best options, given that money is limited and I seem to have lots of random sensitivities. I certainly need to considerably rebuild my vitality before it will be possible to complete the KF and LF, which I am very much looking forward to doing.
