hi, wow that's great.!. can i ask you how long ago you did your first mc?, and what the differences in the cleansing process were, if any ie headaches, skin condition, less severe/noticeable, etc..
i had posted a note the other day re beginning my first cleanse and i realized i have one holiday, (co. party), to attend to at the beginning of next week and so a full-on mc would not be condusive to that occaision, (--my 'occaision'),.. i basically, wound up in the kitchen making some onion soup that afternoon.. so, can i ask more concisely, do you think there is still some good benefit from taking the lemonade mixture 6-8 times a day and also having light veggie soups, (of the green leafy kind), and plenty of water along with it.. also, faced with social 'fooding' at above occaision, i plan to stick to veggies only/no meat-yuck/no alcohol.. will that throw my system into a tizzy?? with having consumed only the light fare from really only the evening before last till then??
i must say, this place is a great discovery to me.. i am now an avid reader of all these posts and greatly appreciate the atmosphere. i believe it is going to be a very uplifting season ahead..
i look fwd to posting msg's of progress in days to come... at this point, i have taken 2 cups of laxative tea, had two bowls of light onion/grn lfy veggie soups and plenty of lemonade.. probably a total of 80oz yesterday... plus regular water.. the soup is yummy and i don't feel THAT hungry...
congrats again on mc#2!!
have a great day!! and thanks to all postings!

Hi Rowan!

Congrats to you for making it to the end. I'm on Day 8 today. Feeling great- still doing the shakes-
which between you and me, (and whoever else might be reading) although I have experienced the passing of ropes- everyday, mind you- (2-3) times a day-
I think the shakes for the most part, aid in the sucking out, coagulation, and elimination of excess junk stuck in there-
However, I haven't experienced any "BLACK" mucoid plaque. (The photos I've seen are somewhat horrific).

I've read that sometimes, it takes weeks for that to come out-

We'll see-

or will we? Like you, I plan to stop after Day 10- and switch to o.j. .
I'm looking forward to going to the Farmer's Market this Sunday to buy fresh veggies for my soup.

I've lost 8 lbs so far and 5% body fat. But I was in good shape to begin with , and I wasn't doing this for the weight loss, although it is a nice little extra!

Congrats again and take care!

Hey there! Glad everything went well for you second time around. Today is day 11 for me. I started on the OJ today but I'm also still drinking the lemonaide. Do you think that's a bad idea? Will you be doing 2 full days of the OJ and then the vegitable soup on the 3rd? How did you break your fast the first time around and how did you feel after reintroducing food? Also - is your tongue still coated or has it turned pink? Mine's still coated but not as much as it has been, so I wonder if I should continue to keep doing the lemonaide until it gets pink? I've lost a total of 11 pounds. If I lost an additional 4 pounds, I would be okay with that and feel that would be a good/healthy weight for me. I didn't do this for the weight loss but to help a rare skin condition I've had for 3 years. I've seen some really great improvements in my skin so far! It's really wonderful. Anyhow, if you could answer those few questions I asked about breaking the fast i would appreciate it!

Thanks!

Hi Rowan,

After reading your post, I was so hesitating whether I should stop or not. I know what you mean about the soup...I cannot wait. I am planning to have some wonton soup but will not be eating the wontons for a couple of days. When you first when off the cleanse, you stated that you had OJ and the soup past right through you. Did you have any cramps? I am so scared because I have cramps now and feel extremely nauseated. I am also doing the parasite cleanse for a week now...maybe that is why I feel ill.

Any advice is really appreciated? Thanks.
