Hey thanks very much for the encouraging words, especially ngaplz - I had some vegan bouillon that really hit the spot then went to sleep. I really felt like my body needed the salt, so maybe my electrolytes were out of balance. This morning I felt pretty good, definitely like I accomplished some good for myself yesterday - a very productive liver flush.   [End]

Hey MC’ers, I’m on Day 18 of my MC today, did liver flush last night/this morning and finished up with a couple coffee enemas which left me a little nauseous (caffeine OD). I got good results from the flush, but I’m feeling seriously depleted now. I’m drinking plenty of water, but I really feel like drinking something more substantial to help replenish myself, like maybe some vegetable broth or miso. At the same time, I want to continue doing the MC, but the lemonade is the last thing I feel like consuming right now. Any tips?   [End]

instead of Epsom salts? I have a friend who is a nutritionist, she turned me on to the liver flush in the first place and mentioned that some of her clients had a hard time with the Epsom salts, so she recommended magnesium citrate or Milk of Magnesia instead. Just curious.   [End]

Hey flushers, Has anyone ever used magnesium citrate instead of Epsom salts? I used lemon-lime flavor last time and it worked great, but this time I tried the cherry and the red dye flusing out really freaked me out - I thought it was blood! No need for that extra stress during the flush...   [End]

Hey folks, It’s day 18 of the MC for me and I started my liver flush last night - good success with ~100 stones passed so far, but I’m expecting even better after I finish my coffe enema (yum!) in a couple hours. WIsh me luck - I’m REALLY hungry now!   [End]

Well, it’s day 15 and I’ve got to say that all I want is a f@#cking salad!! How am I going to make it to 40 days? I had to go to Whole Foods tonight to get some more maple syrup and tortured myself by looking at all the food, especially the SALAD BAR. Man, am I going to eat like a starved rabbit when I get off the MC train - lettuce and broccoli and carrots, oh my! OK, it’s not actually that bad. I’m pretty sure I’ll make it through this week, and I have lost 15 pounds (YAY!) but I sure am looking forward to the end, whenever it comes. Peace and groovy coolness to you all.   [End]

No way - I’m on day 10 and I’m thinking about food a lot! I want to go 40 days, but it’s going to be a struggle.   [End]

I’m on day nine today and was losing my enthusiasm for the long haul, but I read your message again and I’m feel inspired. I don’t want to stop and start either - I want to do this right because it’s the best thing I can do for my health right now. You’re right, after I complete this, 10 days will be a cakewalk (mmm, cake)! And when I think about the fact that I’m only fasting one day for every YEAR I’ve loaded my body with crud, it doesn’t seem like so long after all. I’m looking forward to a healthier life starting now. Thanks for such an encouraging message.   [End]

http://curezone.com/cleanse/bowel/master_cleanse.asp Read about the Master CLeanse here - it’s specifically a detox program but weight loss is one of the perks. I am doing this specifically to detox and cleanse after some intense health problems, but I have lost 10 lbs in 9 days. Good luck.   [End]

I’m finding myself cleaning out drawers - something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and keep putting off. And also I’m REALLY getting my work done instead of procrastinating HARD like I usually do. I think I’m trying to clean out all the physical ”plaque” in my life, but so far no emotional epiphanies. I’ll be on the lookout for them, though. Good luck to you!   [End]

I count 32oz as four 8oz glasses, but I realize I am making it a little more concentrated than Stanley’s instructions. I usually drink 48oz a day, 8oz every two hours from 8:00am to 8:00pm, but sometimes 64oz if I am feeling tired or deprived. Best of luck to you!   [End]

about 8 lbs so far, looking forward to losing more. Try Whole Foods for the syrup id there’s one near you. Good luck!   [End]

I’ve noticed more than one post regarding the MC Burning Ass Syndrome - baby wipes beat Burning Ass hands down, I definitely could not get through the salt water flushes with just TP. And I’ve found that my new wide mouth 32 oz Nalgene bottles are excellent for mixing my salt water in the am and then a couple quarts of MC to lug around with me each day - they are made of Lexan, clear, graduated in mls and ozs (boy, I sound like I should be working for them) with loop-tops and they don’t retain odors. They are available at outdoor stores like REI and SportChalet; I paid $7.50 each for mine. ...

Yesterday was a tough day for me - I felt tired and run down even though I’ve been drinking 48-64 oz of lemonade a day. I don’t usually take the laxative tea, I’ve been sticking with just the salt water flushes each morning, but I had some Smooth Move last night and after the flush this morning I’m feeling much better. Guess I’m going to have to work in the tea after all, and I think I’ll be shopping for some bentonite today. Best of luck to everyone - hang in there.   [End]

Try ”Smooth Move” tea - you can get it at Whole Foods, or health food stores, or search for it online. The active ingredient in these teas is usually senna, btw.   [End]

Day 5 has come, not too difficult so far, but tonight will be a test as I go to visit some friends over dinner (none for me they know and are supportive). I plan on taking plenty of lemonade with me so I might be in a maple coma by the time I leave, but I WILL perservere. Today I’ve started the Clarkia parasite cleanse (www.sbherbalremedies.com)in conjunction with the MC - it gives the lemonade an interesting clove taste/smell. I’ll be adding the Clarkia for the next two weeks, then off for a week, then on for two more weeks and that should see me through to the end of 40 days. BTW - I hav ...

The bathroom time is demanding on MC, but you can do it. I work as a customer serive rep, spend most of my days driving around LA, with no office or bathroom to go to. My strategy is to skip the tea except on Fri & Sat nights, and weekdays set my alarm for an hour and a half before I normally get up. I get up, drink the salt water and go back to sleep, wake up when nature calls and by the time I would normally be up and around, I’m good to go. The best thing about the salt water as opposed to the laxative tea is that when you’re done, you’re done - no lingering effects. Hope this helps.   [End]

Wow - 15-20 lbs! That’s great! I have to admit although I’m most motivated by the detox and cleansing aspect of MC, I am really looking forward to shedding some pounds. Thanks for your encouraging words.   [End]

Thanks very much for the encouragement, and no I haven’t tried the BP shakes yet, although I am planning to start on the parasite cleanse (Clarkia) in a couple of days. Maybe I’ll do some reading up on the BP, but so far the salt water flushes are working great.   [End]

Hey thanks for the kind words HH. I did lose weight last time, about 10lbs - most of which was water I’m sure, but I have managed to keep about five off. So far this time I’m already down 4lbs, and of course I’m looking forward to MANY more. I’ll keep you posted.   [End]

Hey all, Well I’ve done the MC once before, but only for seven days. This time I’m going for the whole enchilada - after a bout with breast cancer last year and all the toxic crap that was poured into my body, I feel I really need it. The last time I did the MC I was amazed at how great I felt after the fourth day. Today is day three and I feel fine, but I thought I could probably use some cheerleading, so I thought I’d start posting my progress to some sympathetic ears (eyes?). So, wish me luck and will power - I’m going to need it!   [End]
