Betty asks…
I just stopped taking vicodin cold turkey 3 days ago, what can I do get through the detox easier w/o meds?
I had a steady supply of it for 3 months and the more I took it, the more I needed to take to get the same pain relief. Now I have no refills and can’t get anymore for another month or two. The withdrawal is terrible. I haven’t been able to eat anything but a granola bar or two in 3 days, and my stomach is constantly upset. I feel tired and lazy and my entire body hurts to the point where I don’t want to do anything, including go to work. I don’t want to ask for any medications to help me because I shouldn’t have run out this fast anyway. Any suggestions, other than not to do this again?
Jane answers:
There is really nothing you can do but suffer through it. It should be over in a couple more days anyway. The psychological part will still bug you but the physical addiction will be gone.
Try to stay busy even though you feel like crap. Keep your mind occupied so you don’t dwell on it so much.
Try to get as much sleep as you can as this is the body’s healing time.
Good luck and best wishes!

An easy question about the human body?
I am going to do a detox for 3 days, by only drinking water, green tea and eating rich fiber foods. Is this safe to do ? And are their any side effects ? I don’t want my body to go into shock.
Jane answers:
Unless you have any physical problems, you should be fine…it is actually healthy and cleansing. If you can you should make sure you are in good shape with your physician first.

Is it a good idea to detox before starting Weight Watchers?
I’ve slipped back into some bad eating and drinking habits but want to start doing Weight Watchers. I’ve looked into possibly doing a 3 day fruit flush before I start but am wondering if this is even necessary? I’m not overweight but want to do Weight Watchers because it allows for an easy way to eat smaller portions.
Jane answers:
If you choose healthy choices from weight watchers. Not the junk side, then you will detox naturally.

what is the best diet plans,tips?
I want to lose about 20 lb or more in only a few months.
I don’t usually diet, its really hard for me to stick to one, my diets last about 1 day on average haha.
So you can probably guess i need an easier diet.
Im planning on doing a 3 day detox, drinking lots of water and only eating fruits and veggies for 3 days strait to start my diet off.
Then im not sure how to go about a diet plan from there.
Ive heard that drinking a full glass of water before and after a meal will help me fill full so i eat less, so i was planning on that. but what are good foods to eat
foods that will speed up my metabolism and help me loss weight?
Someone also told me a soup diet worked?
like eating only soup and yogurts and fruits and veggies.
Any suggestions are helpful.
I will be exercising with any diet i plan also, so any exercising tips are helpful also.
Thank you.
Jane answers:
The best thing you can do is cut the carbs. People have it all wrong these days, humans should be eating high protein, medium fat diets with as little carbohydrates as possible. Most carbs have only been introduced in the last 100 years so ancestrally our bodies aren’t made to deal with them.
So, things to avoid – Bread, pasta, rice, lollies, soft drinks, starchy vegetables, flavoured yoghurts etc. You can get all the carbs you need from nuts and small amounts of fruit (yes, fruit is good for you but don’t go having too much, it is still full of sugar and can make you fat or give you diabetes.
Try to eat mostly meat, vegetables, eggs and nuts. Stay to the outside isles of the Supermarket and you’ll be fine.
Maria asks…
Can I pass a drug test with me smoking weed 2 weeks ago and again 3 days before the test? AT ALL POSSIBLE!?!?!?
Okay so I was supposed to take a drug test about a month ago from the state that didn’t happen, but i know how frantic i worried about passing it come the time. So I would like to know for future references and to help out some poor stupid kid just like me with my situation. Two weeks before the “drug test” I smoked weed, 3 big hits of regs. That was the first time since 7 months. Then for the next week i spent a good 3 days drinking 7-8 liters of water in about 6 hours of time each day. Then 68 hours before the state appointed drug test that I didn’t know about (i thought it was in 3 weeks, which didn’t happen anyway) I smoked again with one other kid taking turns hitting a bowl of regs. The next day i drank a 1 liter of tea with antioxidants, drank 3 liters of water, and 1.89 liters of normal cranberry juice (not natural or low sugar, just ordinary juice), and took 1500mg of niacin, while eating a not much food that day. The next day I took 1500mg of niacin FLUSH FREE BTW at 12pm, drank 1 LARGE 32 fl oz of Qcarbo32 herbal clean 1step maximum strength detox formula at 4pm, and 1 bottle of Ready clean herbal cleanse 16 fl oz at 9pm. and im going to say an estimated 10 liters of water, maybe more, also before that i ran 10 minutes fairly fast (i sweat easy) dripping wet. That day i ate oatmeal with a little bit of cinnamon sugar, some grapes, spaghetti, 2 apples, and a little chocolate ALL OF WHICH fit into 2 meals one for breakfast one for dinner. I am 5 foot 10.5 inches, 159 pounds, with a larger than average muscle tone with some fat, and i had been loosing weight recently (20lbs in 3 months) due to not eating as much from my add meds which were Vivanse or however you spell it. I didn’t sleep that night hoping id be able to burn whatever fat i could using more energy, taking more add meds drinking god knows how much water all night to be awake the day of the test and run on the treadmill for 30min at a jogging speed. then i drank another ready clean 2 hours before my test.
DO YOU THINK I COULD HAVE PASSED A STATE DRUG TEST?????
Its ok to take guesses im curious and i know to future readers itll help.
