Switched to Organic Lifestyle recently and now suffer from more colds/flu
I converted to a 100% organic diet, for many reasons. Im too fatigued to explain, but since going off of conventional milk, dairy, meats, I have had 3 flu-ish or cold like sicknesses, that last a few days. I think they start in my sinuses. I also have a scalp infection.
Anyhow- I was trying to find out if possibly my body was used to the low level dose of antibiotics that I was injesting all of my life, up until recently. From my research, up to 50% of milk alone has 80 different antibiotics. All that aside, is it possible that Im now "catching" the colds and sicknesses that i didnt catch as a kid or teenager b/c of the constant level of antibiotics in my body that I never built up antibodies to them?
Otherwise- when im not sick, I feel great- i know that sounds strange. I lost weight and enjoy eating organically and sustainably - but hate to be sick.
Prior- i would get sick maybe once/year... this is my third time in 2 months.
Any info is greatly appreciated :)
Answer:Your new diet is free of chemicals and preservatives, and your body is detoxifying itself. That could also explain the scalp infection. Other side effects could be skin eruptions, headaches, irritability, fatigue etc. These will eventually subside and you'll always feel GREAT! Also to help speed the detox process drink distilled water, it leaches on to inorganic material in the body and eliminates it through your urine..
you may have some vitamin deficiencies - most likely one is vitamin d - you still need some of the nutrients -you just have to find other ways of doing this.
