Detox

This is my personal opinion and I am in no way affiliated with any aspect of the medical field but I think detoxes are a really bad idea. I am all for gentle exercising and eating healthy but I feel like when you detox you may also be depriving yourself of essential nutrients you need. I want to wish you luck with whatever you decide.

I am in favor of a detox but I seem to fail in my attempts.  I just attempted to do a juice fast and I only made it two days.  I watched the wonderful movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and it inspired me to give it a try.  So now I am going to juice about 32 ozs per day and drink it along with good healthy meals.  Cutting out the cookies and other sweets is what kills me.  I know sugar is so bad for fibro and I really want to quit eating it altogether but I am so weak and I give in to some sort of sweet treat.  Everyday is a new start and Monday and Tuesday this week I really did well.  I juiced kale, cucumbers, parsley, celery, carrots, apples, strawberries, raspberries and lemons.  Not all together, but I used a juice app on my phone for the recipes.  Today I made a large fresh smoothie but then I ate regular food.  So I am going to ease into it and hopefully next week make it more than two days.  My goal is a 10 day fast and it was suggested to add whey protein to the mix for the added protein.  I know a lady from church who is healing her cancer with detoxes and juicing.  I believe in this.  I know some people don't and thats okay too.
