For Women

[Peter]

How will this Master Cleanse interfere with a womans' monthly cycle?... How many days should a person wait if at all?

On page 19, Stanley Burroughs says, "Blend a part of the lemon skin and pulp with the lemonade in a blender for further cleansing and laxative effect. (Note: commercially produced lemons may have had their skins dyed with yellow coloring and may have been subjected to poisonous insect sprays -- be sure to peel off the outer skin if you cannot get uncolored, organically grown lemons.) The properties in the lemon skin also act as a hemostatic to pervent excess bleeding and to prevent clotting internally should there be any such prevailing condition. (Don't worry -- normal conditions will continue during the menstrual periods.) [Parenthetical thoughts are those of Stanley Burroughs.]

Peter,

Thanks for answering all of my questions...Today I purchased the grade "B" M. S. and the Master Cleanse Book.

I had my period two days short of two weeks ago, I started today, the first day of my cleanse. Is the cleanse to blame? (I have sarsaparilla tea the night before)

It probably is the cleanse causing a flushing out of the system. I have read, I think it was in Dr. Beiler's book, that the body uses the period to cleanse itself. I found that when I do a major cleanse or change in diet that sometimes my period comes on sooner than expected.

If the flow is a normal one, there shouldn't be a cause to worry. If it is heavy but you are not feeling tired, lack of energy or weak due to the heavy flow, then also, don't worry.

Love,
Marlene

should i continue to take my oral birth control pills? i'm not necessarily active but something might come up- though, i wonder if i'd be any social with all the side effects that will be occuring... should i stop them for the cleanse and then start them up again after? I don't really <i>need</i> them right now, but i'm also afraid of the bleeding that may happen when i go off them. Plus- i am addicted to diuretics. really. i've been taking a daily diuretic for over two years. and i know i shouldn't take them like that but it's a mental addiction and i also know i shouldn't take them on this cleanse, but i'm also afraid of the consequenses of going off those... :-/ i'm such a mess! At least i'm not addicted to caffiene or diet pills anymore

Since this is the women section I think I can answer without worrying about too much info.. ;D

I'm on day four of MC and my period started 3 days ago (nearly two weeks late and I was not PG). the flow has been the same as always but there is more clots coming out than usual. Not worried though, just figure I'm getting a thorough cleansins

Hi,

I am on Dsy 5 of MC and just started my periods today. I feel pretty tired, am bleeding normally heavy and am taking it easy. I also have sensitive teeth and today for the first time, I experienced a sensitive sensation when I brushed my teeth. It hurt! I feel it tingle a little when I dring the lemon drink. I am trying to drink large quantities of juice and then some water or tea afterwards. Has anyone experienced this?

My gums have been bleeding quite a bit, I sometimes get some pink when I brushed pre MC but this is far more.
