I’ve had hives over two weeks now, I can’t pinpoint what caused them, and I’m starting to doubt they’re going to go away on their own. I read that most cases last a few days, mine have barely let up in the two weeks I’ve had them, and with no clue as to why, I’m starting to believe I’m a chronic case (even though it hasn’t been six weeks yet). How am I to cope with this? What is a gluten free diet? I read to keep a food diary of what I eat, and how I react, and to soak in cool baths… nothing has been helping though. Not even the steroids! And that just tells me I’m in for serious trouble… am I being to pessimistic? Is there ANY light at the end of this tunnel?!

I would like to start a detox diet to get all the yuckies out of my body, but I don’t want to do anything really drastic all at once. I currently eat about 50 percent organic. I would like to do two phases of my detox.

Phase I – increased water intake, increased consumption of antioxidants and 100 percent organic food, if possible.
Phase II – the above plus detox baths.

I am by no means a health expert. If anyone out there knows about this, does my plan sound good? If not, how should I change it? If it does sound good, how long should I do each phase? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I am doing a detox diet that consists of limiting some foods, lemon water, detoxifying tea once daily and a colon detox pill each day. How long should I do this diet?

This is my first time to do a detox diet and I have been doing it for three days so far. I'm used to eating pretty healthy and organic, so my only side effects have been a little bit of an acne outbreak and my breath is a little more foul in the mornings than it usually is.

Also, what should I do after I have cleansed the colon? Is it okay to start doing the detox baths at that point or should I take a rest?
