Detox kit?

Does anybody know if using a detox kit will make your energy levels lower? I just can't get moving!!! I am on day 8 & it feels like day 2. I don't want pills at all, but I NEED SOME ENERGY!!!

I'm detoxing right now, and if it's gonna work, you get worse before you get better. When the toxins are all stirred up they can make you feel really crappy. And they do need to be eliminated. (can be a little undesirable if you know what i mean) Also your body does it's best healing while you are sleeping. So you may find yourself wanting to take naps. I'm experiencing alot of itchy skin too. The toxins coming out. You will have better energy when it's done.
If you're looking for instant energy. You need to fuel up your body. Juicing is an exellent way if you're not into eating alot of raw fruits and veggies. A carrot juice with just a little beet works really good. I mean a little , like start with no more than a square inch cube of beet. If you injest too much beet, especially men, you can get a severe headache. My husband and I would drink the same juice and I would feel great, while he had a splitting headache. Tryed to warn him! Although carrot juice on it's own is a great energy booster too.

2 large carrots
2 stalks celery
1 apple
juice in the morning to reap the full benifits.

P.S. wanted to add- if you're a smoker or was and you decide to detox, you can count on feeling crappy. But it will go away when it's over.

     It took me weeks to get moving much. I hope others reading know that this part of addiction is really bad. We always talk about 4-5 days to get through the withdrawals but what isn't stressed is the months of work to get to a somewhat normal life.
   This week I'm on a PAWS campaign! Every one needs to read about it, so they know what battles and triggers lay ahead. It is better to be armed than to be caught off guard. Yesterday I got hit really hard with discouragement etc..In the PAWS it talks about time line triggers 30, 60, 90, 120 days etc..Read about PAWS on GreatGreebo journals.
Today is day 60.

Have you tried exercise. I know. It's a four letter word, but it does help. It gets the blood and lymph systems moving. Increasing the toxin removals. Are you taking amino acids?
