The Healing Crisis
Detoxification is a process that could bring on a healing crisis otherwise known as the Herxheimer Reaction. A healing crisis can occur when the detox process is releasing toxins faster than the liver and the rest of the body can dispose of them. We want to dispose of the toxins as quickly as possible. Coffee enemas on a daily basis will help.
When the toxin disposal is not fast enough, those toxins are circulating and bringing on symptoms; hence the term “healing crisis. If one is not aware of the situation then one could conclude that the detoxification process is doing more harm than good. Quoted from The Healing Crisis, "Symptoms usually pass within 1-3 days, but on rare occasions can last several weeks. If you are suffering from a major illness, the symptoms you experience during the healing crisis may be identical to the disease itself."
At this point my usual feeling is that of lightness ( lost 15 pounds in 12 days) but I do have times when I feel sluggish.
The link above provides detailed information about the situation and how to deal with it.
