Day 2 and I have a cold :(

by caralea 10 year 1,004

I must have been coming down with this cold before I started. Its making it harder being sick. Any suggestions for helping with my cold. [End]

Re: Day 2 and I have a cold :( by shelleycat 10 year 981

awww you poor thing! Don’t quit! It could very well be that this is how your body is de-toxing. If your energy flags, up the amount of maple syrup or treat yourself to green grape juice - diluted with water - or freshly squeezed apple juice. It won’t upset the cleanse too much. If you can, do an enema too - that will take the toxins out faster so you can get over it faster. [End]

Re: Day 2 and I have a cold :( by caralea 10 year 974

Thank you very much. Im doing ok. Im not going to quit. The dog is being a butt and mu husbands working late, so I think Im just whinny. Ill try the juice if I get too sick. Thanks again. [End]

newcomer to mc

Although I haven’t worked a stressful job while doing my MC’s, I know others that have. It’s really good to have something to do while on the MC because it takes your mind off food.

Re: newcomer to mc by RowanMorrison 10 year 1,059

I work a very stressful job, and I find that after the first three days (which are like having the flu), I am okay. I do now and then tend to space out more than usual, off and on throughout the MC, so be aware of that possible side effect. So, in other words, you probably can do your normally stressful job, but I wouldn’t recommend doing the MC during a time when you expect to have something above and beyond what you usually do. [End]

Me and my wife started the MC this morning. We plan on starting with 8 or 9 glasses per day of the lemonade, is this normal???

Hi, ... I too have experienced feeling very cold. I’ve even cranked the heat up to around 73 at times just to feel warmer. I think in part it is the toxins on the move. That’s my guess.

It is true, however, that you shouldn’t combine enemas with laxatives - you should do one or the other - I just don’t see the point in taking laxatives when there’s no bulk going thru the alimentary canal. There’s no logic to that. Why stress the body, force it to do more peristaltic action, when you aren’t supplementing with fiber?

You don’t have to fast before the fast - that’s like cleaning the house before the housekeeper comes! (not that I would know anything about that personally ;) ... ... You can eat normally right up to the day you start the cleanse. I noticed that you mentioned cocktails. I don’t think it would be a good idea to start the mc with a hangover or by feeling cruddy, and drinking a lot the day before is just giving your body more things to detox from. But that’s up to you - just know that you don’t have to do any pre-fasting. All you have to do beforehand is make sure you’re stocked up on mc provisions! [retrieve this message]

Re: Should I pre-fast before the MC?? by hopinso 10 year 1,278

Some fasting experts suggest that a few days of lighter, cleaner eating will make the fast go easier. It is especially important to try and withdraw from large intakes of caffine and sugar before beginning any fast. Both of these substances can cause withdrawal symptoms including excruciating migraine-type headaches when suddenly witheld from the diet. ... Having said all that, I have a bad tendency to eat everything in sight before beginning a fast, I’m not proud of it, but I do. I don’t know about alcohol use before fasting.

I agree with Hopinso. by shelleycat 10 year 1,175

I often do a semi-fast of only eating whole grains, apples, and certain veggies, before a fast. I do everythign I can go cleanse, such as P&B shakes, enemas, de-tox tea and herbs. That way I know that I’m getting the most benefit, bang for the buck, for all the misery of foregoing absolutely everything. It assures me that all the toxins in my stomach are burned away and my body goes into ”rest” mode faster, which is what you want from the MC. The MC is mostly a vacation for your cells. If I went straight into an MC I wouldn’t succeed. Too many headaches and other healing crisis pain. [End]

Everybody is different by RowanMorrison 10 year 1,167

I too am more of the ”pig out” variety before my MC. Yep, it probably makes it go harder.

by MC rookie 10 year 655

hi- ... i have just started the master cleanser and am struggling with the cayenne pepper taste, even if i reduce the amount. i was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to use the lemonade without the cayenne or maybe add the cayenne to every other glass. also, how many glasses of lemonade do most people drink in one day? the book says 6 to 12 but that’s a pretty wide range. any help here would be greatly appreciated. ... thanks!

MC -"ropes" advice...

/37 1 by hudson 10 year 2,709

I’m on Day 4 of the MC- (I did it for 10 days about two years ago and felt great)- I’ve been reading about these ”mucoid ropes”, and I must say, I am intrigued. I don’t remember experiencing this last time, and I am wondering if the Bentonite Clay/ Psyllium Husk can be taken while doing the MC to aid in the passing of these ”ropes”... ... Does anyone know if this is advisable? [End]

Re: MC -"ropes" advice...2 by joanne 10 year 2,562

Yes, it sure can. It’s referred to as The Ultimate Cleanse if you do the mc while also doing the bp shakes and a parasite cleanse at the same time. Or you can do just one of them, which in your case would be the b and the p. Here’s a very good post from the bowel cleanse forum that explains a lot about the bp shakes, which, unfortunately, don’t actually taste much like shakes - at least not any shake I’ve ever tasted ;) But they do work, that much is certain.

I think there is quite a bit of difference between Grade A and Grade B. I used some Grade A during my first MC, and it was a lot sweeter and just seemed lighter somehow. I don’t know the exact details, but my understanding also is that Grade B contains substantially more minerals and/or nutrients than Grade A. I personally think Grade A is okay for a few drinks during a MC, but I wouldn’t recommend it for the whole ten days (or however long your MC is). ... ...

Day Three almost done...is this normal?

Re: Question on the master cleanse by hopinso 10 year 712

You can do Master Cleanse with other programs. I had trouble with the parasite cleanse while doing MC because the detox from fasting plus the die off from the parasites were overwhelming. You can try doing multiple cleanses and if it should get too rough, just back off the MC for a while. ... I suggested this in the liver forum, but you might want to start out with a liver flush. The less congested the liver is, the easier it will be for it to process toxins released during cleansing. You can continue doing liver flushes every two weeks for as long as you need to. [End]

Re: what does 1/10 of a teaspoon equal out to by Rich 10 year 1,577

It’s quite easy to overdo the tenth of a tsp business because it’s quite a small amount. If you are using one of those spice rack type jars with the generous holes in the top for shaking, you want to give it 2 gentle shakes. Or take the top off and dip the tip of the tsp in. I didn’t like the c.pepper overpowering the taste of the other ingredients so I bought cayenne pepper in gel capsules and just chased it down with the drink. Worked great that way. [End]

To tbg and dietcoke by LMR5865 10 year 362

Thanks so much for your responses!! Here it is 2:30 pm and into my first day. Snow has stopped a bit but is expected to start up again later and through tomorrow. I am on my second round of lemonade (heated it as recommended on this site) and feeling a bit hungry (mind over matter I guess) but I am going to hang in there. Funny that peroxide was mentioned--last time around when my tongue was white I used it as a mouthwash--not sure about ingesting it. I also added psyllium to my first batch to try and get my fiber up and maybe ward off hunger pangs. The senna tea from last night was still ... [retrieve this message]

Re: DAY FIVE AND HAVING KNEE PAINS HERE AND THERE..IS THIS NORMAL???????... by joanne 10 year 765

Drives me nuts when I post something and it doesn’t show up - I don’t know if it’s going to appear miraculously out of thin air, or if it’s gone for good. I posted an answer about 2 hours ago that still isn’t showing up, but I will answer you again. ... ... Yes, it is normal to have some joint pain - that’s one way of detoxing. I’ve done 4 mcs, and during the first 3 I never felt any joint aches, but during the fourth, I experienced lots of strong aches and shooting pains in both of my knees, starting on the very first day. [End]

Re: DAY FIVE AND HAVING KNEE PAINS HERE AND THERE..IS THIS NORMAL???????... by ottosummerfield 10 year 657

Why do you think pain is normal--or why do you think the knee pain in fasting is normal. I’ve fasted many a day and I’ve never had pain--except hunger pain. [End]

Re: DAY FIVE AND HAVING KNEE PAINS HERE AND THERE..IS THIS NORMAL???????... by joanne 10 year 777

Flu-ish symptoms like chills, joint aches and pains, headaches, sore throats, sweats...all of those are detox symptoms. So are nausea, rashes, swelling - so many different ways! My main detox symptom on my first cleanse was a really swollen throat. I couldn’t swallow for 4 days straight, and was starting to get scared. And there was definite pain involved! But it did go away (thank goodness!) and then I felt fantastic. [End]

Re: DAY FIVE AND HAVING KNEE PAINS HERE AND THERE..IS THIS NORMAL???????... by Meesh19 10 year 624

Joanne, I can’t thank you enough for letting me know that. I was getting a bit scared myself. [End]

Re: DAY FIVE AND HAVING KNEE PAINS HERE AND THERE..IS THIS NORMAL???????... by ottosummerfield 10 year 697

Are you just fasting or are you doing something different, something adding to the fast? I’ve done fasting and hiking for five days at a time and didn’t have any pains other than feeling a little weak and hungry for the 1st 3 days. It might have to do with the kinds of food that people have eaten and toxins that they’ve have accumulated. [End]

Re: DAY FIVE AND HAVING KNEE PAINS HERE AND THERE..IS THIS NORMAL???????... by Meesh19 10 year 679

Yes....I am fasting completely and totally and I have been active as well. [End]

Re: DAY FIVE AND HAVING KNEE PAINS HERE AND THERE..IS THIS NORMAL???????... by Meesh19 10 year 717

Because many peoplehave said that they get body aches while cleansing. [End]

Bad evening on day 3 (extreme leg cramps/lower back pain)

by sjnelson 10 year 2,500

Good morning. I had a very bad night last night. I’ve had leg cramps for the last 2 days and it escalated last night to the point I become a little scared. My lower back also started to ache very badly. I took a hot back hoping it would alliviate the pain but as soon as I got out and started moving around again all the pain returned. I decided to get into bed. I was in so much pain I could barely move - my husband became very concerned wondering if maybe my kidneys were some how affected - he suggested I stop the fast which I told him I really feel that I need to go at least a week. ...

Re: Bad evening on day 3 (extreme leg cramps/lower back pain) by curtis75 10 year 1,894

Hi Stacy, ... ... I’ve noticed my calves are sore, and I’m not sure quite why. Everyone says it’s part of detox. One person suggested it was because of the Sunny D (my orange substitute while coming back to solid foods after 6 days of MC). I’m not sure tho. ... ... I do hope you are feeling better. I know it can be a little unnerving. I’m sure someone with some similiar experience will speak up. ... ... Best of luck to you! ... ... -Curtis [End]

Re: Bad evening on day 3 (extreme leg cramps/lower back pain) by sjnelson 10 year 1,841

Thanks curtis: ... Well - I’m officially on day 7 of my fast. I fell 100% better. My ”detox” symptoms seemed to ween off on the 5th day. I still have a little bit of sinus congestation, but not like it was before. I’ve dropped about 8 lbs so far -not that I did this for the weight. I’ve had a rare skin condition for 3 years so I was hoping this will help - I’ve seen a little change, but nothing significant. I probably need to stay on this fast for the 30 days to see major improvement in that area, but with the holidays coming up, I don’t think that it would be possible, although I do inte ...
