HI Kat,
I totally agree with what all the wonderful people here have said. It all starts with the spirit. Otherwise it will be hard to detox your body. You just won't want to, deep in your heart, unless your spirit is genuinely having a valuable experience of some sort whether it be intense sadness or intense happiness. I think the thing is to feel. To acknowledge the importance of your feeling.
Have you heard of the raw-vegan diet. It espouses eating just raw un-heated fruits, veggies and soaked/germinated nuts, seeds, and sprouts. I had a ton of health problems at age 25 and went on the raw vegan diet and now 10 years later I feel I'm finally experiencing the glow of youth and health! There's a lot of info on the raw vegan diet all over the web! I hope you'll check it out! You can find my story at www.TheGardenDiet.com/jinjee.html
Peace.
