Adding anything else to the MC

[Guest]

Last time I did the master cleanse I incorporated a teaspoon of raw sesame oil in the morning and in the evening. My herbalist recommended this me as he does this himself. He has done cleanse about 8 times and found the oil to be beneficial.

My personal reason for the oil is that I felt like I was getting extremely dry for the first part of it. The oil helped dramatically. I didn't find that it halted the cleansing process. I found it to be soothing and lubricating to my entire digestive tract. I have a lot of digestive issues including internal scarring from hernia operations when I was very young among other things, so I do feel it was a tonic for me in my case.

Ask yourself what you need. Your intuitive body will tell you if the oil is something you need to add or not.

I don't try to get too religious about anything. There's not a lot of flexibility in the frame of mind if you know what I mean. Keep it open, keep it real. If the straight and narrow path is called for, then by all means stick to it.

Happy cleansing

Hot water and lemon sounds fine.

Has anyone tried a product called colosan as an alternative to the senna tea at night? I used it last time and it sped up my cleansing process! The colosan can actually help to dislodge mucoid plaque and turn it into liquid and gas! (you definitely don't want to be around anyone the first few days you use it.--the smelll was unbelievable because it was penetrating several decades worth of gunk! Eeww!)

Anyway, I highly recommend it. I used it about 4 or 5 times while on the last cleanse. The rest of the time I did the smooth move tea and salt water flush occasionally.

I am on day 5 and have been drinking mint de-caffeinated tea in addition to the lemonade. Is this okay? Also, I can drink water by itself right? Thanks!

[andreak77]

Yes, you need to also drink water. I think the tea is okay as well.

Is seltzer ok on the cleanse? I know you can have water and air, but what about together? I drink it a lot and it fills me up so much - I think it might be ok. What do you think?

What about chewing gum? Â*Can we do that if it's sugarfree or something? Â*I have attention on the fact that my breath may stink of fermented lemons and whatever gross toxins lurking in my system. Â*Does anyone suggest anything?

From a recent question:

My girlfriend is planning to do the cleanse in January, she has read the book, but is planning on also taking diet supplements with ephedra in it (it is back on the market now.)

She thinks the ephedra will help her cut her cravings, and give her more energy, and make the cleanse easier, and the results better.

I told her not to to that, I don't think she will listen to me. Can you post something on it, or give me some words of wisdom to tell her, that she may listen to?


You're a good friend, XXXXXXXX.

After coaching more than 500 people on the Master Cleanse in just the last 2 years, I can tell you with great certainty that adding anything to the Master Cleanse (other than items prescribed by licensed health care professionals) is A) unnecessary and B) reduces the gains.

The reason is to be found in studies on fasting. The Master Cleanse is a form of juice fasting and one of the most powerful forms of that. I would estimate it to be nearly as powerful as water fasting, but without the need for bed rest and less detox symptoms because water fasting typically doesn't include any additional elminination actions such as colonics or salt water flushes.

The truth, which is covered up by advertising of manufacturers, is that the body has its own reset button: fasting. Adding anything to the Master Cleanse just makes it less effective in letting the body heal itself.

I hope this helps and I hope your friend appreciates having such a good friend as you,

Cool, I'm glad to see this. I haven't looked too much into what colosan is but it looks like a nascent oxygen product. I was considering doing this instead of the senna tea also. I actually went a day with out the tea and found the swf more controllable with what appeared to be same results. I have never liked senna tea.

My next cleanse was to add a oxygen product (I've used mag07 from aerobic life and probably what I'll try here).

From what I've read, the mc is great for releasing toxins and mucus but another step in cleansing the colon is also needed. An oxygen product looks to do well here. I believe oxypowder is a common colon cleansing product. I'll have to look more into what colosan is.

So I can drink just water with the diet? I just want to make sure I'm on day 9 and want some plain water

[bayareababe]

hi brown!
YES! by all means drink water! Our bodies need water on this cleanse! Make sure though it is purified or filtered. I drank one glass lemondrink then one glass water. it helped keep me full and rinsed my mouth of any lemon acid. You can also drink water after your SWF to help things along
be well
