Adding anything else to the MC

[PB_Detox]

I was wondering if anyone had had any experience replacing the lemon juice with goji berry juice and whether this would have the desired effect?

We recommend sticking with the Master Cleanse as it was written, because that's the way so many people have gotten such good results. I personally don't believe goji berries would be a good substitute for lemon or lime juice.

There will be plenty of time after the MC to eat or drink goji berries!

I have a questionand I can't start a new thread..)

I can't do the MC. I've tried..but I just can't. So, I know someone did a "meal replacement" sort of thing, drinking the lemonade to replace a meal or two each day, and still lost weight. Is that okay? Or... would t hat be wrong to do? Especially if you aren't doing the "cleansing" aspect of the whole thing... thanks for any help I can get.

I see no problem in drinking a lemonade in place of a meal. However, for doing other kinds of fasts, I would suggest you do a web search to see if you can find something that might better fit you.

Good luck!

This is the twentieth day of my Master Cleanse fast. I have been adding spirullina for the past fourteen days. Has this taken away from the overall cleansing effects? Adding benzonite clay and psyllium fiber has also been suggested. Is the latter a good suggestion? I would like to stay on the fast as long as possible, but I am concerned about toxins remaing in my system after 30 days. I had lost 140 pounds prior to starting the fast.

We don't recommend adding anything to the MC. Even the spirulina is forcing your system to stay in digestive mode, and on the MC we want to stop digestion so the body can rest and heal.

Please read the General Help for Newbies sticky thread on adding stuff or deviating from the MC. If you follow the MC exactly, you don't need to worry about moving toxins along. They will.

Good luck, and good cleansing!

well.......... as bayareababe always said...... it if ain't broke don't fix it. Spirulina has to make the digestive system work, whether in capsules or not. The whole idea is to slow the metabolism down, hence the cold feeling, so that the MC can truly do it's work. So, I would highly suggest you not continue. Trust me, this is my 4th cleanse and all the toxins do get removed. No to the clay and fiber as well. Just do as written. The results are amazing!

hello anyone....I'm starting my first cleanse in four days and have spent the last couple of weeks reading. I'm glad I found this site! The book just arrived yesterday so I'm only about halfway through, but is it okay to wear the patch to try to quit smoking while I do this? (attempt to do this? ) I've been a heavy smoker for many years so I'm afraid to go cold turkey while I do my first mc!

HI Wander,
By now, you may have already found this by reading Stanley Burroughs book.
On page 40 He says, "use your finger to put a small amount of OIL of CLOVE on the back of your tongue and you will immediately lose your desire to smoke".
If you have'nt seen that yet, and you are using the patches, this may allow you to discontinue the patches (and adding the nicotine to your system).
