I've wanted to do a good detox cleanse for a good year and a half now but last time I tried, I made it literally HOURS before I had to eat real food.

I have always had trouble gaining and keeping weight on -- I'm 5'8", 125lbs -- and though I've never been tested, there's a good chance I am hypoglycemic.

I try to eat as healthy as I can, but sometimes I have to grab the junkfood quickly because my energy levels tend to plummet without much notice, making it imperitive that I eat ASAP.

I was drinking a lot of water really regularly there for a while, but I fell out of it for some time. This week, though, I've started drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water and I already feel a difference. I'm not vegetarian but I do tend to stay away from red meats and pork, I just don't like them much. I love poultry and fish and lately have been trying to eat a lot of salads, I crave them! :) I love starches! I can make a meal out of a couple baked potatos, heh.

I was sick for over a month recently, not with any one thing, but my immune system was so deficient that I would barely get over a virus and immediately have something else. Almost directly after finally kicking all that, I got both a bladder infection (which keeps sneaking back, sorta) AND a yeast infection. Incredibly annoying, yes, and a little worrisome because I'd NEVER had either before.

But because of the yeast infection I'm worried about consuming starches. I've cut a lot of sugar from my diet but I sort of crave it. As far as I understand, candida infections can make you crave sugar. So, ew.

I'd like to focus a detox (or several, if I have to) on a few areas then:
- liver (my mother had a lot of liver difficulties when she was my age)
- blood
- candida
- probably kidney
and a good skin detox too, I've been breaking out often but that could have a great deal to do with my being sick for a month



I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice any of you might have for programs. I was going to try the Master Cleanse (my bestfriend had good luck with it) but I read not too long ago that it can exacerbate some conditions. I enjoy teas and I like eating healthy, so that still leaves a lot open. I have supplements (herbal, mineral, the works) that I should be taking but because I have gotten back into a breakfast-eating routine, I keep forgetting.

Thank you all.
