What is a detox reaction?
The “detox reaction” is also known as the “healing crisis” or “Herxheimer reaction”.
A detox reaction takes place when symptoms from poisons that are released during a detoxification process exhibit themselves. A detox reaction takes place when poisons stored in the system are 
released at a faster rate than can be eliminated. This reaction is characterized by a temporary increase in symptoms during a cleansing or natural body detox. Symptoms can be minor or severe, depending on the level of toxins that are in the body to start with. They can come about right away, or up to several days after doing a cleansing regime.
Our bodies collect fat, the make up of the fat displays the body conditions at the time the fat was stored. All of the sickness that you have had left a small deposit of the virus or bacterium in your fatty deposits. The impurities you consumed left their mark as well. Possibly from alchohol or smoking and from small amounts of antibiotics and growth hormones that ended up in the meat and other foods you have eaten. Bits and pieces of all of this has been deposited in the fat cells of your body.
What causes this reaction?
As you detox, you will be releasing the toxins, bacteria, and viruses that were built up in your fat cells. As these are released, you might experience symptoms that you had when you initially dealt with that particular condition. These will be much milder than the original condition, but could still cause some distress. You may get a runny nose, feel tired, or develop body aches or a fever, while your body works to get rid of these stored toxins. In fact, the symptoms you experience will likely be in the reverse sequence of when you initially experienced them. Impurities that your body was exposed to in recent years will display their effect first, then will likely be followed by stuff that occurred previously in your life as you complete a natural body detox.
How to treat the symptoms
The best way to deal with the detox reaction is to continue with a natural body detox. This is how your system will get rid of all these built up poisons once and for all. If you feel a little sick or fatigued, it can be taken as a positive sign that toxins and bacteria are finally being released and expelled from your body. There are a few simple things you can do to help with the symptoms until the detoxification is complete.
- Drink a lot of water. Fresh water will help your body flush out the impurities.
- Increasing fiber intake or using supplements for cleansing the colon and kidneys may help speed the process.
- Get plenty of rest if you start feeling fatigued
- Massage or meditation can help deal with mood swings and strong emotions.
- Symptoms may lessen after bowel movements. Consider an enema, if needed, for some relief.
The bottom line is that the sooner the toxins and built up impurities are eliminated from your body — the sooner you are going to feel better than ever. Whether you are doing a 3 day detox, fasting, or another type of natural body detox — completing it is going to give you the greatest benefit and relief.

You know, seeing that big cornucopia of fruits and smoothies trully teaches one that healthy eating can be quite enjoyable. After all, if you make the smoothies using yoghurt, honey and a fruit you like, there is really nothing unhealthy about it. Unless the cow milk which was used to make the yoghurt has antibiotics and hormones in it. Guess you have to source everythig right nowadays.
Soy milk, rice milk, and almond milk can be substituted for dairy product and are readily available at most grocery and health food stores.
The majority of adults develop some level of lactose intolerance during their life The alternatives I mentioned are used by countless people worldwide.
Actually, I wonder what the first guy was thinking when he looked at a cow and said “I think I will drink whatever comes out of those”.
I use a lot of soy milk, it’s low in fat, I tried chocolate soy milk, very good with a splash of peanut butter for any drink.
