Re: FEELING BAD INSTEAD OF GOOD?
Mary--thank you for your explanation. I came to the site looking to see if my feeling tired and irritable was just something I had to put up with for a bit. This is day 5 for me, and I've been following the plan closely, allowing myself to eat popcorn and now edamame if I am hungry between meals.
I think I'll start drinking distilled water until I feel better. I use a PUR filter for all my drinking water and ice, but if my body is getting rid of toxins, the distilled water may be even better.

Lizzy,
Filtered water still contains minerals that you're body needs. Distilled water has had everything removed. In other words, you could be in a bathtub full of distilled water and a hair dryer could fall in and you wouldn't be electrocuted because there wouldn't be anything in the water to conduct the electricity.
It's great for detox because it absorbs everything.

Lizzy,
Just remember to stop drinking distilled water after you've completed a detox. Your body needs minerals and the distilled water will continue to rob your body of the minerals you need once it has removed all the toxins. Switch to filtered or Spring water to drink on a daily basis.

Re: FEELING BAD INSTEAD OF GOOD?
I have been drinking distilled water for a good 6 years.. It was explained to me that I get my minerals from other means like the fruits, veggies, meat etc.. I know my water cooler even though I clean it out every 4 months never has anything in it.. sound to me it is good stuff... I did a search abut the answers are varied ..

Re: FEELING BAD INSTEAD OF GOOD?
Since distilled water doesn't have any minerals in it...it will act as a leach and draw from our bodies in order to balance itself out. That's why it's great to use for a detox.
Over a period of time you will be putting yourself at risk for osteoporosis and other diseases. Plus, distilled water is highly acidic and we're already acidic enough. Remember, cancer loves acid.

Re: FEELING BAD INSTEAD OF GOOD?
Don't know if it's true or not, but I also read that distilled water is more acid-forming in the body (perhaps because of its "empty" state that absorbs minerals, which are mostly alkaline).
Doesn't it often seem like things are good for our health in one respect, and not so good in another!

Re: FEELING BAD INSTEAD OF GOOD?
Terri,
You're correct. That's why distilled water is only good for a detox. We really need to drink only filtered or spring water when we're not on a detox. Yes, there is plenty of water in the fruit that we eat but our bodies are made up of water and we need it to sustain life in addition to the fruit. There has been a lot of debate about my last statement but they are finding out that our brains don't function at their best without it.

I just feel weak. How long would it take to get through the initial detox?

Re: FEELING BAD INSTEAD OF GOOD?
and I took CQ's advice or posting and while I still buy distilled water I add cell food to it to get my minerals... In fact I find that CQ has much very good info for folks who are willing to follow her suggestions..
I never felt I was on a detox though with distilled water and I drink a good 64 + oz per day..

Re: FEELING BAD INSTEAD OF GOOD?
I am glad I saw this. I have had bad headaches the last few days. What about nausea? For some reason, I have been nauseated just in the mornings the last few days, this morning it was really bad. After I eat my refried beans and eggs, it does go away. Just curious if anyone else has had that.

Re: FEELING BAD INSTEAD OF GOOD?
Exactly what I was thinking
Seriously, the nausea may go along with the headache you are not aware of and the headache & nausea are addiction withdrawl symptoms. Ask a heroin addict what they feel when they are withdrawing. Just keep eating LDL food and all that will go away.

When I quit caffine (twice at the bvirth of my children) it took a good week before they stopped.
