I do the Sea Salt some of the time. I usually stick to doing the Smooth Move Tea twice a day. I also take Bentonite clay twice a day.

Feeling irritable is normal. So is having muscle aches or pains or any other yucky symptoms. It's called a healing crisis and it means your body is cleansing itself out of toxins. Just hang on and you will feel better eventiually. It's different for everyone. I suggest taking warm baths with Abra (a cellular detoxifying bath salt), drinking Yogi tea, making sure you get a lot of sleep and rest, going for walks, and doing yoga. All of those things have really helped me.

... doesn't SOMEONE have a suggest of the order of the different cleanes? I'm desparate to get started. My entire middle area is hurting and I need to do something. I've done a Dr. Schulze 's intestinal cleanse a month ago. I zap every day. I took Chinese Bitters for the last month. Another intestinal cleans? parasite cleanse? MC? Liver cleanse?

Thank you for your suggestions.

Uncle Pancakes,

I know it sounds unbelievable - especially if you have never done it... Or maybe you have, and just not experienced the same sort of results.
But really -- I just did 10 days and lost 17 pounds and that's about the same rate of loss. And although at times I felt like I was pushing 500 :-) I started out at 164 pounds.
If you are sceptical... the best way to know for sure is to give it a try.
Then let us know what happens!
We'll be here to cheer you along!

Uncle Pancakes, no reason to be so negative...I highly doubt anyone would lie on this board. What would the gain be??? I myself did The Master Cleanse for 3 weeks in the beginning of the summer and lost 38 lbs. I started out at 172 lbs. Quite a long ways from the 500 lb mark. I also power walked 4 miles every morning. Read the book, it even states the average loss is 2lbs per day. So you do the math. There is no mention of it only being a significant loss "if the person is 500 lbs." Do you have any clue how much compacted feces in the colon weighs ? John Wayne and Elvis Presley both had over 40 lbs of compacted waste in there intestines alone. Do your research. And stop giving people who are working hard at the cleanse a difficult time. You obviously have some serious toxic build up in your system.

Regarding the person who says you can not lose that much unless your 500 lbs. has a much differnt metablism.10 of us did this master cleanse and here are the results after 12 days. chris,ken,mack lost 19 lbs. Lori,Kim lost 22lbs.Chritine,Ben lost 15 lbs.Joyce,Susan and myself lost 23Lbs. None us were obese to begin with we all gained between 2-7 lbs. back We all eat meat and have full time jobs.Every second day we met and weighed ourselves. It is so fun to do this with everyone together and challenge each other with bets. We read that book over and over.DO NOT USE ANYTHING BUT HERBAL LAXITIVE TEA OR SALT WATER. Also the book says not to make a jug in the morning. It helps to do this with busy lives and did not hurt any of us.Also try putting the cayenne pepper in veg. capsules.This is a very challengeing fast but very good everyone should do it once.Make sure staring this the first few days are hard and harder for others. It can be almost frightening the headaches,muscle pain,vomiting,very tired. But what comes after a few days is pure energy. I felt very jittery there was to much energy. Walk it off.Make sure you have a few days to relax. Go sit in a sauna,Hot tub.It feels great.Good Luck to anyone trying and YOU CAN DO IT> Put a picture of your self on the fridge(maybe one when you were thinner)Every day reward yourself when you have gone another day because it means you have done another day.
