You might be right about the healing crisis, but I know I definitely had the flu based on a person I'm close to having it confirmed by a doctor. I got sick within 2 days of seeing him and the classic flu symptoms were all there and followed the same progression as his. But now it's day 10 for me and I'm worried about the flu turning into pneumonia or some kind of bacterial infection. And my throat hurts so much. I shined a flashlight in there to look and I have all these spots where it hurts. I guess it could be die-off on top of flu, but I'm getting worried anyway.
I don't plan to tell the mainstream doc about the cleanse at all. They have been less than nice to me about my health issues in the past, and I generally only see them to rule things out rather than treat them. I'm just worried that it's day 10 and I still have the bad sore throat and horrible cough. The person I caught the flu from was all better by day 10, except for a little lingering cough.
