Re: Great advice

Cleanses initially make you feel worse. You probably already know this, but killing parasites and candida release serious toxins and something called herxheimer effect occurs (Google for more info), making one feel pretty darn sick. But maybe your cleanse(s) were too strong, or too much too fast, and they were making you too sick to function. It's a hard balance to strike. Yesterday, for example, I went a little overboard with the GSE, oil of oregano and Para-Cleanse, and I didn't eat enough. (I find the whole eating thing really unenjoyable these days, mostly because my diet is so restrictive and the cleansing affects my tummy.) So I ended up herxing pretty badly, with chills, ache all over, etc. I was so weak, my hubby came home and took care of the kids and put them to bed. I am so determined to rid myself of these bugs. I will do anything -- ANYTHING -- to keep my kids safe. But I realized there has to be some kind of a balance. If I can't function, what good am I to my children? So...maybe your cleanses were too strong for your system and you needed a milder approach? I offer this as one possibility.

Interesting about the raw kraut -- I have heard good things about this before. Have you tried other probiotics, say in powder form? Do you have food allergies ? I think it's great that you're exercising. Builds immunity and flushes toxins.
