I’ve been making changes lately yet I’ve still been mucusy and blowing my nose for 2 months now in spite of juice fasting and now juicing in the mornings. Hmm, A persistent bug or a cleansing effect? I’d like to think I’m cleansing but how does one gauge overall health and improvement? Transit time? Skin? My skin continues to have some minor eruptions although it became noticeably softer during the fast.
I wish I could tell if I was making headway or if I’m stuck and I need to do something else. Any thoughts on how to gauge health in general, or improvement? [End]

Archus,
In this post, you connected soy to hypothyroidism. Do you have any more information, or more experiences? See, I run cold and my fingers/toes are always cold. I don’t know if I could use a bump in thyroid function or if it’s just b/c my blood pressure has always been on the low side - or both! I suspect circulation could be better.
Anyway, I’ve taken to using soymilk over milk because dairy contriutes to inflamation in my shoulder. Alas, am I trading one problem for another? I’ve never been convinced that soy is actually a health food, h ...

Hey all. On Day 7 of an MC of at least 10 days... maybe 14. I don’t have much in the way of symptoms from the cleanse. I’ve been doing these 2-3x a year for several years. I slacked off this year, though. I haven’t really done one this year. I’m finally learning how to manage my diet better, i.e. I know what to eat and not to overeat, but knowing that doesn’t make it easy for anyone who has food issues.
So I was doing better at that and never made myself too bloated and sick so I couldn’t get the motivation to do a full MC. I’d do a day and quit or do a light diet of Fruit and healthy f ...

I agree with much in the previous post. Talking to your husband and therapy may both be a good idea to see how committed he is to the relationship.

Hey there. I see you posted this to the MC and Liver Flush forums among others. The Master Cleanse is where I started my alternative health education also and it is a good thing to know. However, after everything I’ve read, many of the single, smaller solutions won’t do enough for you. You’re body needs to regenerate and fasting alone can’t do it. One tenant of fasting is that you have to rebuild your nutrient stores in between. If your bones are degenerating at age 17, I worry you don’t have what you need. On a side note, it’s great you’ve added veggies and green smoothies.

Hiya,
I’ll jump in quickly if you don’t mind. To break a fast, you should spend 1/2 the time you were on the fast carefully refeeding your system slowly. (If you fast for 3 days or more as that’s about the time frame for your digestion to shut down.) This starts your digestion slowly. Plus if you eat quickly afterwards and your metabolism isn’t back up to normal, you’ll gain back more weight than you lost.
For example, if you do a 10 day MC, your post fast diet may look like this:
Day 1: Juice only (some folks start with water diluted OJ)

I think these conversations are good to have on more generically named forums because people who don’t already know about Dr. Fuhrman or Nutritarian ideals are exposed to it as the try to figure out what is good for their diet.

Blood sugar probably was the biggest issue due - I was dizzy a lot yesterday. On the fasting forum, the idea of some bile being dumped has to do with the liver trying to cleanse. I dunno, I’m just hoping my digestive system in general improves! :)
I steep the tea for the full 15 minutes, then I’ll get cramps in the morning but I take the SWF early which helps the cramps since it flushes... but taking it only some days helps me want to stay on since I don’t feel ill so much. But this morning for some reason the tea didn’t bother me and I steeped it 12 minutes last night. That was very ni ...

Hi pepe,
Very good advice and I agree completely. I sure do love Zumba but afterwards I realized I pushed it further than I should have. I drank plenty of water and had most of my lemonade. I did feel better.
Also, I searched the fasting forum and found nausea to be fairly common although this time it was triggered by what I did. I am heartened by the prospect that my liver might be working something out b/c my digestion isn’t as good as I want. (ie bile released on an empty stomach assisting with nausea) I was glad this morning when the lax tea didn’t tear me up and I feel okay eve ...

Went to the gym and did Zumba. Worked very hard, got very nauseas for a while afterwards. Still, I asked my body what it thinks it might throw up? Now I’m feeling quite a bit better. Sometimes when people feel sick they want to break but I couldn’t imagine eating. Anywho, it’s interesting b/c I never had this on my several previous 2 week MC’s. I figure my body is working through something and I’m hopeful that I’ll feel better and have some of my gut issues improved at the end of it.
And wouldn’t you know, now a few hours after nausea, I feel hungry! I have been drinking 1/2 batch of le ...

So had a funny thing happen - yesterday evening I was feeling very nauseas. (sp?) I said to my tummy, ”really? what are you going to throw up? you haven’t had food for 10 days!” silly tummy
Belly still feels pretty awful so I’ve been laying off the lax stuff and am essentially lemonade fasting for the last 3 days but that is okay. Then as a surprise I had a small BM this morning unprompted by lax methods. It definitely feels like my body is working something out and I want to keep going. I don’t like feeling bad after I eat any non-perfect meal so I’m sticking with it. I usually go to 1 ...

Hey, yes, as you know you can do the lax tea morning and evening instead of lax tea at night and swf in the morning. It is good, but I am finding personally that my stomach is very sensitive so I’ve stopped doing both until my tummy calms down some. I’d been doing them intermittently after about day 6. That’s because I know it will stop my cleanse and I believe in the power of fasting. When I do this, I’m not strictly on MC but rather on a lemonade fast, but that’s also a very good thing. You might want to do it before you finish the cleanse at least to make sure you get stuff down but you ...

I do think Oxypowder is very helpful with symptoms, but it sounds like you need to work on other things, such as a cleaner diet and other cleanses. I personally used Oxypowder in the past to help out. Liver flushing is helpful (but takes a long time) because the liver produces bile that regulates digestion. Perhaps your liver needs help? Have you done parasite cleanses?
Here’s why I suggest these: in my experience, I’d done a few cleanses and improved my diet. I made a big breakthrough in digestion after doing a 30 day parasite cleanse (humaworm) and then a bowel cleanse (oxypowder). As ...

Hey NN,
When I first did the MC, I didn’t know that it is not recommended unless you ”go” once daily. Heck, at the time I didn’t know people were supposed to go that often! Anyway, if you’re that constipated, the tea will give you some trouble. You can still do MC but it can be difficult.
It sounds like you need to get on the Bowel Cleanse forum as suggested and look up some stuff. Enimas are an option but there are other options that you can try out on an off-work day so you won’t be running to the bathroom uncontrollably. I’ve done Oxypowder when I’m in your situation. Others do ...

So I’m on Day 8 of what is mostly MC and what is partly a lemonade juice fast. Meaning I’ve skipped the tea and SWF every other day for the last few days. Plus I’ve lost almost all desire to drink the lemonade. I’ve gone down to 6 glasses daily. I make a 12 glass batch that I’d drink daily but I’m drinking it over 2 days and today I don’t really feel like having it except when I have hunger pangs, which isn’t often. The thing is, this time and the last 2 times I’ve done this cleanse, the Tea/SWF just tears up my stomach and I feel bad for the first part of every day. I want to be able to w ...

Funny thing, I’m so used to and comfortable with the cleanse that I thought today was day 3 until I counted it down. I haven’t done a full MC in a good while and I had a headache the second 1/2 of day 1. It would seem to kick in every time I had more lemonade! Day 2 okay, then morning Day 3, painful headache on the top right of my head! I rarely get bad headaches and try to suffer through without medicine but I took aspirin for this one and went to bed.

Seriously that stuff makes me wretch if I’m drinking it and tasting it. I have a hard time keeping it down. I did a lot of reading on this in the beginning and have never heard that so I wonder if it was one person’s theory and nothing more...

MG - SWF was trouble for me to, but I do it like a champ now. I have a 1/2 lemon handy, and I give it a big ol’ lick then chug half the Salt water, then lick again as a chaser. Basically I chug until the taste starts to come back or I can’t chug anymore. The lemon completely kills the salt taste. Try it out! :) [End]

I like your posts b/c you LIKE doing the cleanse. In the beginning it was more of a struggle for me, but I’m so used to them now, I also quite enjoy them. I think the heightened sense of smell is cool, like a mini super power, were I have the ability to smell my hubby’s dinner from across the room even if it’s just chicken salad. I like not worrying about food, not having to prep/cook/clean up in the evenings. I like feeling light.

I usually go 2 weeks before I get tired of it and knock off. I have a business trip on the 24th so maybe I’ll push it past the 15 day mark anyway... but if not that’s plenty time for 2 weeks and then to break properly. happy fasting! [End]

Hey folks. I’m in the middle of Day 1. I expect this forum will pick up pretty quickly. I find that I’m always strongly driven to do one in January after the junk overload of the holidays.

My answer is brief: all this pain and frustration and uncertainty and mistrust and endless playing over in your head awful things... everything bad that’s happening to you emotionally now is how you can expect your life to be permanently as long as you try to be with her.

Yes, definitely! We’re getting into unsavory subjects... but remember if you see something gross come out of you, at least it’s no longer in you!
I did humaworm and then a bowel cleanse that turns the contents of the bowels liquid in order to flush them. I did the cleanse the week after finishing humaworm to clear out dead parasites that are stuck in the elimination process. I flushed out almost 1,000 liver flukes. I was shocked! Well, maybe not that shocked b/c my digestion is slow. After this, my digestion improved greatly. I recommend humaworm and also liver flushes in general. Enjoy ...

Have you done other cleanses? From everything I’ve read, it’s good that you’re continuously flushing the liver, but what about parasites? What about the protocol on this site? (Click on cleansing at the top of the web page to see what all flushes are recommended as a general health protocol.)
Joint pain may be alleviated by chiropractic work or by diet and supplementation, potentially Iodine. I supplement with Iodine as part of my protocol in hopes to flush bromine from my system and between that and good diet, remove inflamation of my right knee. I’m seeing good progress.

I also believe in multiple lifetimes and soul families - many soul mates with whom we share our lifetimes, often family and lovers, etc.
You may feel an attraction to someone far more strongly to others, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that is who you should be with. Some people who you are attracted to are bad for you. You have free will and you can choose whether to be with that person, and they with you.

Especially Ginagirl. I’m glad to get the general info about detox, and it’s helpful to see your experience that years-long pain was healed with the assistance of iodine.
Yes, it’s true I neglected my detox protocol because I have usually no reaction to low doses (i.e. no headache, etc) but I should’ve kept with it. Also, my knee joint has had trouble on and off for over a decade and I do exercise a lot. Similarly, my right shoulder had a sports injury and I’m hoping this can help to.
I read this and had some salt and Selenium and OJ! :) [End]

I’ve always had some minor troubles with my right knee. I usually cut back on exercise when it acts up because I don’t want to make it worse. Recently I went several days without working out and I hadn’t been feeling it at all for a while, then I started taking some iodine and I feel it throbbing some.
I’m not sure if it was the iodine or not, but does anyone have experience with detox that deals with joints, or other related information?
Thanks,

I think many ”mistakes” are intentional, although perhaps not by both parties. I know one situation where a guy was afraid he would lose his girlfriend when she went to college. They’d been together for years so she completely trusted him, and in this case trusted him with birth control (i.e. pull out). He betrayed that trust out of fear of losing her. She was there one week when she found out she was pregnant. She dropped out and they married instead. Isn’t that sweet? /sarcasm

You must base your future decisions on where he is NOW. It’s not fair to you, him, or the relationship to be setting up the relationship with expectations of a different person to emerge from your partner.
Deep down, you know the right thing to do, if you quiet all the chatter and reasoning and logic and FEAR, all the what if’s. Quiet your mind or pray for guidance, then look calmly at the two of you. Are you truly a match? Deep down, you know. [End]

You could buy a few jugs of cranberry juice and juice fast or mostly drink and eat little. If you’re drinking a ton of juice, there’s no room for much food anyway (this will not likely help you lose weight b/c quantity of fruit sugar).
