I was ever so pleased with myself. I hadn’t
had an identifiable detox in about 6 months. With Ryan detoxing for the past
3.5 months (see Husband
Health Update) and me having no symptoms, I thought I was in the clear.
Then, without warning, last week I woke up with a crazy itchy scalp. Dandruff
everywhere! I was almost back to the raw dandruff scalp that I cured about nine
months ago. I suffered with that scalp for three years, and now it was back?!?!
Thankfully, my new dandruff problem lasted only five
days. It disappeared as quickly as it came, which tells me that it was some
sort of detox. Amazing. I don’t know if it was more yeast die-off from the gut
or if it was something else, but it was something! I took many years to pollute
my body with the Standard American Diet (SAD). See Is
the Standard American Diet (SAD) Bad for Your Health? and Sad
Changes in the Standard American Diet. All the chemicals that we bombard
ourselves with through cleaning products, building products, food containers,
and so much more make our health even worse. It will take many years to heal.
Recognizing and understanding detox symptoms is half the battle won... I welcome detox symptoms! Well done on actively working towards excellent health.

Detoxing is great - after the whole detoxing process. The only way to get all the nasty stuff out is to have this stuff ooze out of your body and that can be a messy process. Therefore your body detoxes through bowel movements, urinating, sweating, and, I guess, dandruff. The body is weird.
