Detox: Day 7
Okay! Week one down, and not only am I still alive, I'm actually kicking!
The liver/gallbladder flush is done, and I should be getting those toxins and stones out. I'm not going to examine things too closely in search of rocks, I'm just going to assume that things are working as they are supposed to.
I'm making strides toward increasing my water intake, as that is highly important during this thing, and I wasn't very good at it for the first few days. My innards seem to be loosening up a lot, with a few successful bathroom sessions a day, and a lot of glurping and bubbling to keep me entertained. No discomfort to speak of.
I may be experiencing a bit of what GHC calls a "healing crisis". The "Ask the Doctor" forum on GHC's website describes this experience as a normal thing that some people feel while detoxing - it can't be all fun and games when getting rid of the body's poisons, I guess. The discomfort can range from headaches to nausea to a resurgence or worsening of the symptoms you are trying to resolve. Some people describe it as flu-like or cold-like, others get fatigue. So it's different for everyone.
I have mild fatigue today, and I've had a bit of a headache a couple of days. It's been a long time since I've had one of those, come to think of it. Other than that, everything seems to be positive so far.
