I’m so sorry to hear that you had such a horrible experience. That is really unfortunate. In my experience, it pays to start off slow and simple and then progress to more complex treatments if necessary. I’m not sure what your symptoms are that led you to attempt a cleanse, but I suggest the following. Immmediately upon waking, consume two glasses of pure water with the juice of at least half of a fresh lemon, then go about your morning routine. After about half an hour, you can have a bowl of oatmeal, without sugar or milk. If you like, you can add a bit of clarified butter or a sma ...

I am on day ten and I did a quasi-salt water flush this morning. I did not take the laxative tea last night. I drank about 16 oz of salt water this morning.. That was about 5 hours ago and I have yet to see any results. What happened to that salt? I would hate to think that it is now is my system. I did the flush pretty faithfully during my ten days and it always worked. Any ideas. Thanks. By the way, I am really really happy to be done this. I am so looking forward to that orange juice!   [End]

This is my first time doing the cleanse. I am on day 6 and I have lost about 8 pounds so far. Does anyone know if this weight comes back quickly after you start eating again? I am enjoying feeling lighter and it is motivation to keep up the healthy eating habits and the exercise once this is done. Any ideas?   [End]

I definitely agree with what Eli said. There are cleansing diets you can approach that will keep you eating food all day long, but will still start to detox your body for you. The acne was probably a reaction of stress and vitamin deficiencies in your body. Also, if you’ve had a unhealthy past, it would be a good idea to get a blood panel done by a docotor, and undergo at least your first cleanse or fast under medical supervision. I’d just like to point out one more thing...if you choose to fast, will this be about depriving your body of something, losing weight, or detoxing? You ...

Are you doing the salt water cleanse? If not, it could be your kidneys. If you haven’t been doing the salt water, I reccommend coming off of the fast IMMEDIATELY as stated in the book. (Vegetable broth, etc.) Good luck. Be careful.   [End]

I got my grade B syrup at a Vitamin Cottage. Try a health food store or a natural grocery store like Whole Foods. They sell it. It’s best because it has more nutrients. As far as the grade C goes, the USDA stopped distinguishing between the B and C a little while ago. Now it’s just all B from what I understand. I used grade A for the first two days of my fast and it was fine. It’s just a few nutrients you’re missing, but the same principle. The salt water is essential, beacause your kidneys MUST be flushed every day. People have seriously hurt themselves fasting when they haven’t t ...

I just wanted to let you know that getting a white tongue IS a sign of the toxins being removed. That whiteness is a big toxin coating!! So you are doing well! If you have a lot of weight to lose, your body may be in shock and is holding onto it very tightly. Don’t forget that we are putting our bodies into starvation mode and everyone’s body is going to react differently to that. It sounds like you are doing the salt water as well. That wonderful. Have you noticed all of that brown stuff in the toilet? Have you notice how it settles to the bottom and leaves a trail of brown behind ...

I’m heading into day four of the Master Cleanse and am very pleased with it. I have been VERY cold at times myself, but it’s rather cold here right now so I’m not surprised. At times I’ve felt weak as well, but it’s supposed to be okay to take a tablespoon of syrup to help with that. Other times I’m incredibly energized, so there is definitely an ebb and flow to the whole thing. I’ve noticed a thick discharge from my eyes and my skin is getting softer. Also, I’m sleeping better and I’m definitely feeling more ”in touch” with myself. (Which is an obvious side effect.) My sex drive ...

I have decided to do a gb/liver cleansing, but I HATE throwing up or feeling nauseus. Does anyone recommend one ”recipe” over another in terms of helping with this? Thanks!   [End]

I had an ultrasound yesterday which showed gallstones. I have an appt. Monday to talk w/ a surgeon about having my gallbladder removed, which is what my primary physician recommends. Doing some internet research, I came across this site & am intrigued. I would like to try a gallbladder flush to see if I can remove the stones by less drastic means than surgery, but am apprehensive about doing so. I originally went to my dr. for stomach pain, which he thinks is probably gastritis or ulcers. He did the ultrasound just in case, and it turns out that another pain I have had in the past ...
