One thing that I haven't seen much discussion of (altho I may have missed it somehow, but I have read a lot) is detox.

I am chemically sensitive and have been for about 25 years. I actually have a pretty severe case of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity; so bad it forces me to work at home. It's not unusual for me to end up getting sick when I go out because I will usually react to something. I even have reactions at home, of course, depending on what my neighbors are doing (spraying pesticides, painting, etc.) and depending on the general air quality. This is usually worse in the summer so summer has traditionally been a difficult time of year for me. I also have some mold sensitivity but my reaction to toxic chemicals is worse.

I have also been through a lot of detox and detox type of activities so detox is not new to me but I have never done anything that has made me feel this way for such a long period of time.

Anyway, since around the second week of the VLCD (I am on day 20 now), I have been going through a pretty strong detox. Feel like crap all day. I am having strong reactions to the stuff that is coming from my own body. Of course, this is a good thing but difficult to go through. I am just drinking plenty of water and sticking with it.

Anybody else feeling the detox? Are you doing anything to address the symptoms or just riding it out?
