Hi,
Boy do I have those issues too! Ultimately it is a challenge to both cleanse/detox and at the same time stop taking in things that keep us dirty on the inside, so to speak. I have found that the more I do like oil pulling, the more centered I stay in my eating, too. When I don't stay in willingness with this and other simple protocols, the eating becomes uncontrollable, too.
That said, I think it does become safer to eat a few not-good things here and there and really enjoy them without remorse! But the overall trend has to be not only protocol and therapy and cleanse related, but diet and consumption related. It took a long time for me to get here and begin this stuff, and it's going to take a while, requiring patience and willingness to put one foot in front of the other day after day, to climb out of it, too.
If I were you I would take a look at the kidneys and the
Water Cure . I have heard over and over that puffy eyes and dark circles mean the kidneys are not functioning properly. And it's critical that you get enough water and have properly functional renal elimination when you are going to send not only daily but stored toxins out of the system.
Hope you will report back on your progress and best of wishes to you!
