Detox Stages

[Making my life better : )]

I'm on day 5 and have been feeling great, however this morning I woke up with swollen eyes and bumps under my left breast. I also have little bumps on my left hand. My face looks kind of sunburnt and my eyes look like they have circles under them. My lips are a little tingly. Is this normal?
I've been reading a lot and I wonder if it is my body getting rid of rashes (a previous ailment)...Since January I have been getting rashes when I am on the placebo week of my pill. I had a baby in June 08 and went on a new birth control as advised by my doc. Though hesitant, I did and ended up with rashes three months in...I switched back to my old one however they gave me a generic. No rash first month but I usually get a little itchy and try not to think about it and let it escalate. Mind over matter. However, I am feeling symptoms like that now.
Is this normal???
I am also worried because I am going on a cruise on the tenth so wanted to go over teh detox after 10 days to prep my body for food. I am worried that the rash will worsen and I will look and feel horrible.

I have a very deep concern about this master cleanse that I'm on and I'd like some help, please!!

On my last master cleanse about 3 months ago, after breaking the fast and eating regular food, I noticed that at times my throat would start to close up. It began to hurt to swallow my own food, and anyway it became quite a problem. Does anybody know what this is, and what to avoid next time? I'd really like some help. I didn't eat anything irregular for me.

Also, On the first day of my cleanse this week, I had a glass of water after having lemonade and my tongue felt like it started to swell or something--so it was very similar to the throat-swelling thing.

Thanks for the help!

honestly speaking..i missed my menstruation for one year, a womans period is rlly impt cos it helps to remove toxins n all,once i started my periods again,i think my hormones created havoc... and also started gaining weight like hell.

You guys think i can lose at least 10 pounds if i do this for 5 days? just eat the detox pills,drink tea,water,organic juice through out the detox?

Anyone willing to share their experiences with daily living? Just want to know what I will have to face when it comes to impacting my schedule.

hey Kristenn,
I have to get up 2hrs earlier than normal to allow time for the SWF.
I also make sure to pack enough LA for an entire work day (for me its 3 32oz bottles) I add the lemon juice & maple, then do cayanne & water @ work)
I also notice a spacey-ness in the first few days, followed by a feeling of mental clarity.
I would be careful of any hardcore cardio excersise as well.
Some do fine, others get too tired, I am somewhere in the middle.
I like to work out, but if I feel I am too tired, I will take it a little easier. (not sure if this is against recommendations, but right before I work out I take a Tsp of MS

THe cleanse effects everyone differently (i.e detox symptoms). Do some reading / researching there's a TON of answers & support on this site.
Good Luck!

Ive been searching the internet for some type of tea, or product/kit to detox with. Ive read multiple times that detoxing is great for your body and may help rid toxins etc.. I want to help remove the leftover depo-shot from my system. As well as use it after quitting smoking. Basically I want a full body cleanse but I dont want to lose weight. Im naturally slender, and I dont want to lose weight while doing it. Any recommendations?

I didnt notice alot going on in the detox stages when I did my cleanse. What I did notice though was that my kidneys stopped hurting, and my ankles stopped hurting. I was eating too much meat and Ice Cream. Every night when I went to bed I had to have a bowl of Ice cream. My kidneys were hurting all of the time. Eating right is the best thing we can do. I talk about al little about eating on my blog at, http://master-cleanse-benefits.blogspot.com/

Sorry guys, I wasn't sure where else to post this question...

I am considering starting my second cleanse (7-10 days this time, instead of 14) around March 5th.

However, I just had some piercings done so my body is in "healing" mode... I know that MC is discouraged for those recovering from "surgery" but should I avoid cleasing right now?

Has anyone else cleansed shortly after piercings? I have also read about people's body's "rejecting" their body jewelry during the detox process. Does anyone else have any suggestions/experience with this?

Thanks so much!!
