How do you know detoxing is working??

This may seem like a stupid question but how do you really know if your detoxing efforts are working? I also see many people post that they don't detox well and again, how do you know you don't detox well??

You feel it!! Sometimes soon after you've tried it! When an abx or antimicrobial herb makes me sick, and I use either Burbur or lemon water, I feel quite a bit better soon afterwards, depending on how often I use those detox remedies. With Burbur, I put a few drops under the tongue every 15 minutes until I feel better. Lemon water: I just drink a lot of it.

When I was super super ill, the detoxing didn't really feel like it was doing anything. Except that I felt like I was at least doing something to make things better. Fight, fight, fight!

As time went on, I began to feel some relief from the detoxing and now I notice it immediately.

A good analogy would be that you are in a leaky boat in a heavy rain storm. You start to bail out the water but you can't see that you are actually having any effect. But you don't sink.

As the rain subsides and some of the leaks are plugged, you can see that the bailing is lowering the water level. And later things have improved so much that you can bail out the water as quickly as it comes in.

So keep de-toxing it is doing you good!

Me, too, MarieLS.

LOL Opugirl!  No, not too much information!  We should start a Poop and You Part 2 or Number 2 Thread! 

I felt a huge difference from taking detox baths BUT, yep, BUT, I didn't feel the results right away.  Detox baths (please dry skin brush first) and foot boths work only in a cumulative fashion, meaning the more one does these baths the better they will feel.  Some people feel worse after taking the initial baths which is quite normal but if they don't give up and keep taking them, the feeling is reversed, you feel good!!

Even though I am totally well, I still take detox baths for general reasons.  They help my older bones (especially after shoveling snow!), my skin feels silky soft afterward (no moisturizer), etc.  What strikes me funny is when I was a kid I played hard, (yeah, I was a real tomboy) and would sprain my legs, my ankle, wrists, etc.  My Mom would give me a bath and put Epsom Salts in the bath and I had no idea why.   I guess she knew something I didn't...  That the salts would ease my sprains.

It's up to you.  If you start off taking 3 or 4 baths a week and build up to taking them every day then  you should feel a difference.  And for those without a tub, those foot baths work great too!

Just my thoughts,

Margaret is right - You WILL feel it.

At first I didnt believe it and I refused to do enemas and detox (Im a big proud athletic Italian so we just dont do enemas).

Then I started to get hit with what could only be described as the worst headaches and fever-like symptom Herx flares.

I finally relented and during one huge Herx I did an enema. Within 1 hour ALL my bad symptoms were gone and my energy levels were even boosted. Im not kidding, all of my bad symptoms were gone. Ive repeated this enough times now I am a big believer in them now.

Now that I do enemas regularly. I dont ever Herx now.
