Wow, I wanted to know, does being raw and living in a very polluted place negatively affect people?
I had an odd experience. I went raw for 4 days and got bad detox, headaches and fatigue. I drink lots of coffee, smoke tobacco and marijuana, drink once in a while. One day I drank 3 liters of green smoothie (lots of spinach, bananas and every living food I could find in my house, I just threw everything in). I did this in a span of 2 hours. Now, I usually have a lot of social anxiety, I can't even go to the local supermarket without freaking out. Funny thing happened, I suddenly got LOADS of energy, felt amazing. I had to go out for a bit and I was practically running, I was smiling at EVERYONE and felt like I was on a drug, no anxiety nothing. Then I got off the bus and smoked a ciggie and WHOA...everything wore off, I felt like **** again! It was so weird. Instantly!
This has definitely made me want to go raw. I'm wondering, can you get over detox symptoms and jump straight into the benefits instantly early on in a raw trial by drinking massive amounts of green smoothie? I'm looking at jumping in, quitting smokes and coffee and goin raw in feb 09, cos I have a lot of free time then.
