Hi,
I am an avid SP supporter. I am new to this group and loved to read all the posts. I have lost 75 pounds giving up white sugar, white flour and going to OA. I read SP about a year and half ago. Loved it and just got the second book. I am convinced that I have burned out adrenals as a result of too much excercise and fast weight loss. My hormones are out of wack, low BP, low cholesterol, always cold and recently I gained 20 pounds after being on synthetic hormones. I gave them up but the weight is still here. My doctor told me he thinks I should detox my liver. SP does not address this in her book. I am not sure what to think since it involves eating only veggies and fruits for 21 days and taking all kinds of herbs.
Anyone have any experience?
Marianne

Hi Marianne:

Welcome to the SP Forum. Congrats on losing 75 pounds.


When I first went to my integrative doc, his healing program was focused on regenerating my liver. He never put me on anything drastic like that. In fact, he chastised me for following a low protein/low fat diet. He put me on a candida diet and gave me a slew of supplements, most important being milk thistle.

Personally I wouldn't follow that kind of fast - 21 days seems like too long. At the most I would do it 2 or 3 days before your metabolism shuts down. I have no doubt that Dr. S. would frown upon this kind of detox.

Good luck with your decision and keep us posted.
