RE: the back of my head is producing copious amounts of sweat

interestingly, i've been on only raw foods for almost two weeks. i've been jogging almost everyday. i live in texas, so it's definately hot enough to be sweating a lot. what's weird is that i've been sweating so much from, i guess you could say the base of my brain. right between the "groove" at the bottom of my skull, and down to the top of my neck. the first day i noticed this, i sweat like this for an hour after i got home. (from jogging) my hair was wet, as though i had just come out of a pool, for a whole hour!. it's happened two other times. any idea what may be detoxing from my brain from this specific area? i assume this is a good thing. since i've been in amazing moods lately and i attribute it to raw, amoung a few herbs and spirulina. thanks. and welcome. blueberry

Hi Blueberry, What a cool screen name and quite an interesting place from which to be profusely sweating! As to exactly WHAT is coming out, is rather hard for me to say...but from the sounds of it, it is a good thing! I remember when I was transitioning to a raw diet I had all kinds of weird things happen...For instance, I have never had hay fever symtoms except during my transition to a raw food diet when for a couple of weeks I couldn't stop tearing, sneezing, and wiping my running nose. Then, about a year into being nearly 100% raw, I had a bunch of weird mental images appear in my mind randomly (some of which were quite grotesque). I figured some sort of weird brain chemistry was precipitating out of my head. Sometimes when I detox, my feet or hands or underarms will start sweating profusely. My head will sometimes sweat a lot if I eat a lot of peppers. I looked up a diagram of all the endocrine glands, and I don't see one located near the back of the skull...I was thinking maybe one of the glands in the brain was detoxing...perhaps it is... I wish I could tell you exactly what it is...but whatever it is, it sounds like it is something to bless! All the Best! Steve
