I am taking Clarkia for my parasite cleanse, and I’m about 8 days into the first round. Why is my nose so stuffed up? It’s driving me crazy and alternates between not being able to breathe through my nostrils, and when it starts running I blow clear fluid out. Any suggestions?   [End]

You certainly have a terrific outlook/approach to this cleanse. Sounds like you’ve thought it through very well. You’re right, I hopped on board expecting to go 10 days, and I’m living up to my expectations this time; sweet success in making it 10 days this time around. Your approach leaves your mind clear to ride the wave, not the calendar... Good going & good luck to you!   [End]

I understand what you are saying about not wanting to fall back into old habits. I have spent these past 9 days really considering what is important to me; and proper nutrition combined with adequate physical activity are crucial. It would be GREAT if I could keep off the weight that I’ve lost during these past 10 days, but what is most essential is keeping myself healthy from the inside out. The rest should take care of itself. One thing I have been doing is poring over my favorite recipe site, RECIPEZAAR, for new recipes. You can sort by any criteria, one of which is vegetarian/ve ...

Thanks for the supportive thoughts, and the good advice about not breaking the fast during a cleansing crisis. I hadn’t even really thought that possibility through, and I can see where that wouldn’t be a wise move. Yes, it feels like 10 days would be perfectly appropriate in my situation. Then on to a parasite & bowel cleanse. YEE HAW! Did I mention that I have a physical coming up on January 27th, and last year my cholesterol was high; 241. I got it down to 219 in 3 months, so it will indeed be interesting to see what the outcome is this year! Cross your fingers, as will I!   [End]

Thanks so much for your reply. I am so surprised that I’ve made it this far (along with so many others on this site!) and do feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment! WAHOO for all of us! I was just hoping so much that my tongue would be clear & pink by now, but that probably takes quite awhile longer to reach that milestone. One of my dear friends was prompted to start this cleanse, and she only made it 6 hours. She called herself a quitter, and I reassured her that this just wasn’t the right time for her. I’ll give her major points for even considering it. There’s always anot ...

I would refrain from drinking carbonated water, but that’s me. Why not wait to start the MC next week once the parties/obligations are over? Then you can commit 100%. Just my viewpoint, good luck to you!   [End]

Hey there, today is day 9 and I’m feeling pretty good. I’ve been exercising daily since starting the MC, and some days I definitely have more energy than others. I’m guessing on the low energy times I am in detox-mode. Tomorrow is day 10, and I really want to be done with this cleanse. No particular reason other than I am tired of doing this - DOH! My tongue is still coated, but I’ve noticed some serious improvement in my skin, I can actually breathe well again (and smell everything, too!), I am completely off my anti-depressants, and I’ve lost several pounds (not sure exactly how ...

I’m on day 9 today (hooray!) and this is what worked for me...just thought it might be helpful for someone else. ”Smooth Move” laxative tea in the evening the first few days. SWF first thing in the morning every morning...the elimination period has been taking me about an hour to get through. Someone else posted that they would get up early, drink the SWF, go back to bed and by the time they got up they were ready to sit and get business taken care of. I work outside of the house as well, and haven’t had the need to use the loo from the SWF yet. Hope this helps!   [End]

The white coated tongue is from toxins being excreted. It will turn clear & pink once your cleanse is complete. The Master Cleanser book discusses this detail. Good luck!   [End]

I was on Lexpro (10mg) for the past 3 years, and haven’t taken a single pill since starting the MC 9 days ago. I feel fabulous! That being said, I would recommend consulting your prescribing physician PRIOR to stopping cold turkey...   [End]

Sarah: Wow. I never really thought much about it beyond the fact that I was sick & tired of feeling sick and tired. Your list is amazing - and mine would be frighteningly similiar... 1) lethargy 2) bitchy/angry/yell-y/mean mom/mild depression, anxiety, and irritability. Out of character, I’m one of those ”always happy with a pleasant disposition” people. 3) Food Addiction. I’m addicted to chocolate. 4) fatigue. I need LOTS of sleep, and I’m still tired all the time. 5) Flatulence 6) mucous in throat 7) brain fog 8) High bad cholesterol and total cholesterol. ( super-high goo ...

You have no idea how much better I feel reading your posts! I am just finishing up day 2 of my first MC, and am very hungry, ”chewing deprived”, etc. I have a 3.5 year old that I have been preparing food for, and it’s tough! She says to me ”Mommy, you sure do love your lemon ”tea”, don’t you?” and I just smile back and say ”I sure do, honey!” I have actually been looking forward to bedtime tonight so that I can sleep away a few hours. The waking hours have been positive in the morning, but as the day wears on my willpower has been truly tested. I keep telling myself ”one day at a t ...

Cheryl: I’m on day 2 of the MC - this is the first time for me. I just wanted to toss a ”RAH RAH” your way ’cuz this has taken a larger mental effort for me than physical effort for certain. I’m just sick & tired of feeling SICK and TIRED! This year I turn 40, and want to remember it as fabulous. My family is mostly deceased (yikes!) and I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter that I want to be around in a very active role to see her grow up. I just started working out again, and feel great despite feeling hungry and ”chew deprived” LOL! You’ll be in my thoughts for your latest round ...

I, too, am doing the MC right now. I will do the bowel cleanse (P&B shakes) afterward, along with the parasite cleanse. Good luck to you!   [End]

I plan on doing this cleanse in the new year, and will follow-up with advice from the book, ”Depression Free, Naturally” which discusses proper nutrition and supplementation. It’s interesting, but many causes of mild-to-moderate depression are believed to be related to food intolerances and deficiencies in certain nutrients and amino acids. Why not consider follow-up of your conscious decision to complete this important cleanse with a new committment to what goes in your body after the cleanse? You just might find yourself drug-free in the end! Yippee! Good luck to all - and congratul ...

Folks...if you look carefully at the lab report, the ”patient’s” name IS revealed at the bottom of the report, Phillip Koerper. Unfortunately, the report also lists his SS number (oops, identity fraud waiting to happen!) AND it lists his home phone number as well! YIKES! I wouldn’t want all that personal information posted on the internet about me either! I did a Zaba search, and actually found that there is a man with Phillip’s name, address, and matching phone number residing in Wisconsin. If you choose to analyze and discredit this lab report, then I suggest you pick up the pho ...
