Have you gone over 20 days?

[Moosegirl]

Hi everybody. I'm a few days from reaching 20 days, and I want to go longer than that. I've read other posts and it seems that optimal cleaning occurs between 20-30 days. (This makes sense to me, because I feel I have a ways more to go). But, is this correct? Is there any chance that going longer than 20 days is harmful? Has anyone out there gone over 20 days? Anyone gone 30 days? I would love to hear about different experiences of continuing a cleanse of maybe 30. Many thanks!!

Hi Moosegirl:

My longest cleanse was 23 days (which is short by comparison to others). Our own Kira Moon cleanses regularly for 40 days at a time as do other members. Sophie has gone 52 days. Most of my other cleanses have been 21 to 22 days without a problem.

Hope that helps.

Love,

Hi Res---yes, your answer is very helpful. And now I think I can keep going. Thanks!!

Moosegirl:

Join up with us in the "What Day are you on and how are you doing" thread cuz it's a busy thread. Sophie checks in often and would be able to give you insight into going longer than 21 days. She's a "Marathon" Cleanser and has a lot of knowledge (although she'll go into humble mode and try to deny it). She's quite honest about it all.

Hopefully other Marathoners will chime in too. The more the merrier.

Keep us posted on how you're doing.


Love,

I have tried and tried to get into that thread, but it wont let me in, keeps saying the page can't be displayed. I would LOVE to see what everyone else is doing, but I'm locked out.
Any suggestions how to get in there??

Hey Moose..I've gotten that message before myself only to realize I wasn't logged onto the site. Perhaps that is what is going on with you? GL with a marathon cleanse...I might try one of those someday myself.

I can't get that link to work on my browser, despite a refresh. If it can be accessed by anyone, could it be sent to me e-mail?? I'm planning a long MC & want all the info available, BTW, what's a senior vs a junior(self-explan if its first time around) vs just a "member"? Is that the humility kicking in?
I'll be watching & listening. Christine M

donno why the link's not working. i'll try emailing it to you.

as for members, we had a discussion about it a while back and didn't really get anywhere. it's based on the number of your posts or something like that. and your general level of coolness.

sent you an email with link, Christine
