Raw Food Detox

A few weeks back I told the board I was going to do a raw food diet/detox and I would report back.  Here I am.   I was on doxy for 8 weeks and now minocycline for 16 weeks.  Curious to understand and learn more about nutritional outlets I did a raw food diet/detox for 1 week.  While this exercise did not get rid of my bacterial infection (lyme), it was a positive experience.  I did feel some herxing although it can be hard to determine the difference between a herx, a symptom, or a side effect.  Basically, I ate a fruit smoothie every morning, a salad and vegetables for lunch, and another salad and veggies for dinner.  Some interesting results were that I now continue to watch what I eat (eliminate sugars and flour).  Also, I've lost about 20 pounds over the last 3-4 weeks.  31 year old male weighed 180 lbs.  Now weigh 159 lbs.  I would never have done something like this if it weren't for the motivation to fight lyme. 

In conclusion, I realized that killing an infection of this nature can be aided by a nutritional overhaul.    Any questions, feel free to hit me up..

peacesoul,

Thanks for your response and support. 

I'm trying to gain that weight back with healthy stuff.  I learned alot from this exercise and I think I'm in a good position to continue with what I call a "nutritional overhaul".  I am definitely adding back in the protein.  Juicing?  I'm not sure what you mean by that.. but I do juice natural fruit smoothies 4-5 days a week. 

Again thanks.
