What was your healing timeline like?
I'm curious to know what your VA detox healing timeline is/was like. For me, I've only been on this diet for about 2.5 months, and initially saw an uptick in my health. Then over the last month or so, I feel like I've plateaued.
What about you? Are you noticing benefits? When did those benefits happen? Did things "turn around" at a specific point for you?
Curious to hear from everyone!
I think my biggest jumps in progress was the first month and the month i'm in right now (month 8)
Don't let detox waves get you down cause it sure got to me and put me down a lot of the time
I no longer have: swollen red lips, excess collagen, super pale skin, blue fingernails, bloating, excess hair shedding, personality change (i've been a fun sarcastic kid my whole life until supplementing. I became very serious and lonely)
I am now in this diet since last october.
The first 2 months were horrible for me, after that my body really started to "live" before that I was like turned off.
Since june it is worse again, I believe that I am still pretty toxic and canˋt handle a lot of sun.
These days I am really frustrated.
Has someone of you as well the problem during a hard detox that you believe to have a serious illness?
Excuse me if there is something unclear, my mother tongue is german.

About a month ago I had a serious illness where I was vomiting and then couldn't eat for 10 days. I could barely drink anything. Everything tasted very bitter. I had a bad headache through a lot of it and felt terrible the rest of the time. I lost about 6 kg. I also had flu like symptoms, cough, mucus. I don't know if it was the stomach flu but it doesn't say that the stomach flu comes with actual flu symptoms like cough though.
That was when I found this article which discusses how A causes a lot of flu symptoms:

Maybe I had big excretion symptoms or maybe I got the flu but then because I was already detoxing A it was really severe.

Hey Sandro, thats interesting that you had improvements and then another wave of worsening after so long. How much VA would you estimate that you have gotten in your past? Did you use supplements or Accutane?
Hi collden,
I canˋt really say how much I got but what I can say is that 2 years ago I started to get health problems.
From there I also started to eat "healthy" and everything became worse.
After some months I also started with supplements, I tried nearly everything, that includes also Vit A, Vit D etc.
And of everything megadoses maybe not for such a long time but definetely too long.
I also got lots of antibiotics.
No I never used Accutane.
These days I try to reduce the supplements to a minimum, that is Vit C, Vit E and some minerals I have tested with Dr.Smith.
Another question for you guys: How much protein do you get daily?
I ask because I believe that I got too less in the last time and therefore I had to struggle.
Dr.Smith says 50 gramm are the minimum but what is if you are really toxic and you have a physical life, perhaps you need much more.
Protein is very important for VA detoxification and 50 g sounds like far too little, but maybe he's referring to just protein from animal sources, I'd aim for at least 0.6-0.8g/pound body weight of total protein. Too little protein can also cause metabolic slowdown and myriad health problems that are unrelated to VA.
