My husband and I began the cleanses Kevin recommended in his books. My husband developed what looked like a fever blister, and then I did. And I also developed a blister on my thumb, then a second one. I stopped the cleansing temporarily, and when these were gone, I resumed. By the second day I again got a very painful blister on my thumb. These get larger by the day.
What are some recommendations anyone could suggest?

Hi Ruth,
The blisters are a good indication that the cleanse is working. Your body is riding itself of many different toxins.
Stopping your cleanse, stops your cleanse. I would continue the cleanse.
If the symptoms become too uncomfortable, I would slow down (not stop). The object of cleansing is to clean out, Yes? Realize, the poisons will exit the body in the easiest way possible. Drink a lot of water (seriously. . make yourself drink a minimum of 64 oz per day) Light exercise to help circulation and aid in the removal of toxins.
Understand, cleansing can bring upon many kinds of symptoms, including, fatigue, 'crabbiness' , etc, WATER, WATER, AND LOTS OF WATER.. This will help with your symptoms. Above all, Listen to your body. It will tell you how to proceed.
Yep, sounds like a 'healing crisis' to me. Its a good thing. Keep going with it. I'm currently detoxing from mercury, and I'm not too pretty at the moment! But I know it will pass.
