Day 4 - Mixed Feelings

Good morning everyone! I hope all of you are doing well today. You know, I have to say, last night was hell. I was really feeling AWFUL! It was definitely the worst day (knock on wood). I was experiencing some strange things and I wanted to blame it on the lack of food, but then again perhaps it actually IS the toxins being released as everyone says.

Some of the symptoms I had:

*Extreme exhaustion
*Tight, painful jaw muscles
*General feeling of unease
*Muscle and joint pain
*Eyes felt "fuzzy" and sensitive
*Mood swings - well, I don't know if you would call it mood "swings"... it was more just one mood... A BAD ONE!
*That darn icky mouth feeling (even after brushing twice)

Do these symptoms sound like anything you all have experienced as part of the detoxification process?

***Also, an update*** I did take some of my Dr. Natura "Colonix" intestinal cleanser last night. I used just a 1/2 dose (1/2 tbsp) and followed it up with 2 large glasses of water. It did not seem to make me any more hungry by stimulating digestion, as I feared it might. In fact, it’s didn’t seem to cause any unpleasant effects at all. (I took it long after the unpleasant symptoms listed above had started.) After the Colonix I waited a while and then drank the senna tea right before bed. This morning I did my usual SWF. (BTW, this time I took the kind advice of those in this forum and used 2 tsp Sea Salt in 4 oz water, followed by the additional 28 oz of plain water chugged down immediately after. It worked SOOOO much better! Way more tolerable to drink. Thanks you guys!!!)

Here’s the gross part (sorry) –- I had my usual urgent rush to the bathroom several times this morning. The first one did show that the Colonix powder had drawn some more of the solid material out, which was a relief to see. It wasn’t much, but enough to show it does seem to work at absorbing more waste. I’m assuming it probably helps with the detox process, so I will use a little again today. All the rest of the bathroom jaunts were just the usual 99% liquid. That SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) is a strange and amazing thing!

This morning I am down 5 lbs from my starting weight. I still don’t feel great, but I am much better than I was last night. I do feel a little more alert today than I have for the past 3 days. The hunger/cravings are definitely less prominent today. We’ll see how it goes…

And for all those other day #4 people out there, how are you feeling today?

Thank you everyone for your reading and sharing! :)

Have a great day.
