The cleanse is about my regaining control of my life for me. I consider myself a good looking man but after the last five years of marriage I admit that I put on about 35 more pounds then I should. My wife left me several months ago and I have been downward spiraling ever since. When I learned that she was with someone else it sent me into a food and alcohol frenzy. About two weeks I got so mad at myself for what I had become I decided I would not be that person anymore. I began to exercise but felt I needed more and after some research here I am. So I started the Master-Cleanse to clear my mind and my body. I am very excited about doing it but I am very nervous that I will not make it through the ten days but I am determined so I hope that helps. I will do some research for a lot of my questions but I am hoping for a couple of honest answers on somethings.
Is the Liver Flush a necessity when coming off the Master-Cleanse or a bonus for more serious fasters?
I think I may have put to much pepper because it really burns my mouth. Is this the case or am I just not used to taste?
I read in the book that the drink can be cold. Several people here state that is should only be warm, is there a difference? I work all day so I made up enough for one day and am drinking it throughout the day.
How long after a SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) (on average) before you empty? This will help me with what time I should take it.
Also I never really thought about the emotional side but now I am getting a little nervous. I have been depressed anyway and I am afraid that if an "emotional detox" exists it may be more then I can handle. Do past MC'ers find an emotional detox happen or some people react differently then others?
Sorry for the long post, had to get it out. See you all over the next ten days...

This is a reply to # 644,155newtom-
welcome and good luck with the MC. a few quick responses
Re - the emotional detox. I went on my first Master-Cleanse in August (12 days) and did not experience an "emotional detox." I had mood swings but no real Depression (and i have been clinically depressed several times in the past). I had periods of euphoria, and an overall sense of serenity, especially towards the end. Nothing that would qualify, IMO, as an "emotional detox." I am not sure what that is, really.
I think you need to be prepared for mood swings while you are on your first MC.
Re the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) - everyone is different, but mine worked like clockwork - exactly 90 minutes after drinking, I started going. It usually lasted between 30 - 45 minutes, off and on.

This is a reply to # 644,155I was extremely emotionally depressed (and am normally a very happy go lucky person). When I started doing the Master-Cleanse I soon started coming out of my Depression (only after a couple of days) because I knew how good this was going to do my body and mind . . . and it did do wonders. If you are already emotionally depressed the Master-Cleanse can only make things better for you. You truly will feel energized and refreshed.
As for the SWF, I never did make it through an entire drink. The taste was much too awful for me. I did the smooth move tea which took affect about 8+ hours later. Try it for the first time in the evening or on the weekend and see what your schedule for bathroom breaks is going to be.
So what if you don't make it ten days. The first time I tried it I failed the evening of the first day. I then tried it about a week later and stuck made it all of the way through. You WILL be able to do it sooner or later. You also may surprise yourself and make it without giving in at all. Reading the posts on this board helps a bunch also.
I went strictly by the book and had very positive results; both emotionally and physically. I then have done a couple of liver cleanses; which are much easier than the Master-Cleanse and a nice additional to cleansing. When I felt like quitting I read the book again . . . and again. I read it a total of four times in ten days and it saved me from failing.
Good luck to you. When you are done you will feel sooo good about yourself. I promise!

This is a reply to # 644,166Thanks for the tips. That is what I need to hear. I am so determined to make it though but I am very nervous about what my body is going to do in the meantime. I have seriously abused my body in the last several years with cigarettes, beer, junk food, and McDonalds. I am going completely cold turkey as of this morning so it should be very interesting. I am worried that I could have serious reactions because if living this lifestyle makes you full of toxins. I am a walking, talking, toxin factory.
Crossing my fingers and wishing for the best,

This is a reply to # 644,155I have just started today as well, so I won't be able to give advice,thats for sure! But I have heard that some people put the cayenne in gel caps they buy at the health food store..they say it makes it go down easier(No burning). I am buying mine today.......
Good luck on your journey! Hopefully we can be a support for each other!

This is a reply to # 644,155Don't worry to much about the emotional detox. I am the one who wrote about it earlier. The first time I did Master-Cleanse I had no depression, in fact from about day five on I had wonderful clarity and a sense of well being most of the time. I have been on an intensive cleansing program since early August, liver flush, 10 days MC, three days apple juice fast, liver flush, two weeks Bowel Cleanse and parasite cleanse while eating normaly, and now day eight of another MC. I am recovering from a spinal injury, years of bad eating habits, and tremendous stress. I know I'm pushing my limits. My best advice to you is to take it one day at a time. Don't beat yourself up if you can't do all ten days. It took me months of three day fasts before I could do ten days, I was too toxic to cleanse all at once. I had to do a little, back off, then start again. All those times I felt like a failure for not meeting my goal, I was actually listening to my body. I hope you will be able to do the same. Good luck.
BTW-I like my lemonade chilled, but not ice cold, and I take the cayenne in capsules. SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) never work the same way on me, sometimes its 45 minutes, other times two hours or more.I learned the hard way not to drink the salt water before having to drive over five miles of rough rocky unpaved roads. On days you can't drink the salt water, have a cup of tea.

I'm sorry, but your description of this always makes me LOL - it just is so easy to imagine the discomfort.....! I could barely make it from the bedroom to the bathroom, so driving over five miles on rocky roads is a form of torture I would never want to face!- Re: Cleansing questions and first ti... #69242

MoreThis is a reply to # 644,180I am also encouraging you to go for it. I'm on day 8 and feel great. I am not working during this time so its been really easy. My experience with the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) is that it works fast in about 10-20 mins and then a couple more times at about 10 minute intervals! Many people do them at night if they have to go somewhere in the morning. I think its important to do once a day! Can you go off the coffee and crap for a few days before you start?? Might make it go smoother with caffine withdrawl etc... In general you sound good and ready to succeed on MC!!
