I started in the raw for many years following purelly the instinctive
nutrition guidelines ( anapsology) .
in that context of foods chosen by sense of smell and taste without
seasonning or mixing ( food chosen one by one whole ), detox processes are
rarelly loud and showy and not troublesome .in short the process of detox is
kept in check to stay very confortable for the body . any stepping out of
instinctive regulation ( forcing on one food , not eating enough of an one
etc...) will often give rise to more violent manifestation of the detox .
basically a food that is repulsive to the taste ( as papaya have been for me
for years ) is the indication of the foods that will trigger a detox but the
body is not ready to engage in that particular work ( in my ex i suspect
papaya might triger elimination of molecules from dairy origin .the papaya
smelled to me like vomited milk).
since i started to introduce sequences of meals that are not instinctivelly
chosen ( seasonning of greens for ex ) symptoms and ability to get sick
started to show up in my exp ( during the 8 years of instinctive eating i
never had acute diseases that necessited rest.even the flu in me was almost
symptom less ).
aajonus way is far removed from instinctive eating because there is much
cheating with instinct ( blending all kind of foods together ).
In anapsology we classify 2 kind of diseases

 the acute diseases are regarded as a mean to rebalance the organism using
genetic materiel if viruses ,bacterias or parasites to do a job the organism
have not been programmed to do ( like dealing with non original molecules -
meaning not present in our foods for enough long time during our evolution )
bacterias have way more ressources to deal with all kind of molecules , our
specialised cells lost a lot of this capacity .
thoses diseases in the carefully followed  instinctive frame work are doing
much good to the body and are welcomed because very confortable to
experience . if foods are chosen carelesslly the symptoms can flare up and
even more so to very unconfortable or and even threatening to life level if
unatural foods are continuously eaten( contening especially the molecules
the body is trying to get rid of .)

and the real disorders , like in chronic degenerative diseases , that
manifest inability of organs to function properlly.
the chronic diseases to be resolved will have to reverse to acute diseases .
the all process will be more efficient if symptoms stay mild .

in anapsology ,fast is never forced onto the body ( just when there is no
hunger for foods )
That is an other aproach too of aajonus way where  violent detox symptoms
often occur and are even wanted .
detox is a missnomer for the phenomenons of eliminations from the body of
unwanted molecules ( all acutes diseases have symptoms of something coming
out of the body via many ways ( mucus, skins euptions diarrhea etc...)
i don't buy into the idea that the body get dirty and need to be cleaned.(
this view is way too much a symbol of redemption.
for me those phenomenons are just the manifestations of the body's strving
to maintin homeostasis in the mist of unatural circonstances ( no sin to pay
for, not a punition )
