Hey all. This is my first MC and I'm finishing day 4. Have all the right supplies (organic lemons, C+ maple syrup and cayenne pepper) and am following to the letter, at least I think so. No cheating at all and I drink a lot. Between 2-3 litres of lemonade per day and over 3 litres of water which is more than half my weight in ounces (100 and I weight 180-185) Have Sea Salt (Guérande French brand rock salt, coarse not fine)and bottled mineral water.
Started with lax tea the night before I started and every night since.
Day 1 with lax tea in morning (no SWF) and thing's went well but no bm.
Day 2 had nice bm before SWF and then nothing. Did a pb shake 2 hours later still nothing. Felt a bit boated that day but it wore of.
Day 3 SWF did seem to work a bit (with 3 tsp of salt) and passed dark liquid but (almost) no solids. Nothing else.
Day 4 SWF didn't seem to work, passed a bit of totally clear liquid, no solids.
How can I detox if I'm not moving it out through the GI track? Yes my tongue is whitish and I scrape it often. Yes I'm peeing about 25 times a day! I'm not hungry and things are going well but I'm a bit worried that I haven't moved some major trash yet.
I have read that it's good to drink a bit of water about 30 mins before the SWF and I will try that tomorrow but it's hard to get motivated to drink that litre of SW when your not getting results! What about throwing in some PB shakes for some added boost?
PLease advise...is this situation normal?...should I be doing something different? Thanks PS
Update: morning of day 5- drank 1 litre of water when I got up and waited 40 minutes before doing the SWF (3 tsp/litre in very warm water). Hour and a half later still nothing so I drank anothe litre of pure water, thing's sort of gurgling around but nothing coming out. I am drinking huge amounts of water during the day as well as the lemonade so I don't think dehydration is the case. I have no headaches/aches/pains etc...so nothing bad...but I'm not seeing anything really great either! BTW I was always regular like clockwork before so this lck of bm is rather new to me. Is the whole MC process loosening up everything in there and eventually it's going to come out with a vengence?! Any advice/experience is welcome as I am having doubts about continuing as I just don't see the results.
Day 6 - no changes, skipped the SWF this morning and did a double lax tea instead....nothing happening. Am worried and disappointed about lack of toxin elimination and support/advice from this forum and all the "experts". Oh well...live and learn. Good luck to all
1st , your formula for the SWF is wrong it's not 3 tsp but 2 tsp and a liter is slightly more that the recipes indicated 32 oz. The SWF works because at the prescribed ratios the SWF recipe is the same specific gravity as blood thus it passes through the system unabsorbed.
I don't know what you are expecting from the SWF but after the 3rd day or so you only get liquids as your system has already emptied itself. Generally if one passes any solids past the 3rd-4th day it is a good indication that one should addresses colon cleansing with a dedicated protocol post MC.
I was using 2 tsp at first but as I was retaining the SWF (not due to dehydration) so I adjusted salt levels as has been suggested elsewhere on this and other Support Forums . Hate to disagree but the difference between 32 and 33.8 ounzes will most likely not be a factor. After reading MANY posts it seems that about 25% of users have issues with the SWF so (like most alterntive medicines) it's not an exact science. Didn't work for me but obviously does for many others. Had my first colon cleanse after stopping the MC and the detox expert strongly suggested doing a colonic before any MCing and avoid the SWF. Apparently not very good for the kidneys and she even offered to do a free colonic instead. Food for thought.
Please don't reply with ranting and raving (newbie, pork rinds etc...) when somebody contradicts or if you're having a bad hair day. Good detoxing to all.
