Detox Stages

[vlt]

I'm starting the MC tomorrow and would like some company. I need to loose 60 lbs so I am wanting to do the fast as long as it takes. Does anyone want to join me. Also, is it safe to do this for 60 days? I've done it before for 3 weeks and didn't mind it a bit.

Hi there VLT,

I am a first time cleanser and I am starting my cleanse on Sunday, June 25. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I would like to lose about 40 lbs myself, but my main purpose for doing the cleanse this time is to detox my body of all of the junk that I have been putting into it all these years. I have several health issuses and I am hoping the cleanse will help in some way.

I would love to hear how you are doing on your journey and perhaps we could keep each other posted on our progress?

Here's to cleansing!!

Hi, Peanutteb

Your posting of detox stages is very impressive. I've ordered Dr. Fuhrman's book and am also interested in the book from which your information is taken. Do you remember the name of it? Thanks in advance for your reply and thanks also for posting the detox info.

Hi Everyone,

I am starting today (Sunday, June 25th), and would also enjoy having company on this exciting adventure.

Wishing everyone a successful journey.

Day 7 for me was awful. Stared by being at church and almost fainting, unbearably uncomfortable and hot. I had to leave church early and I have never in my life done that. I was about to crawl out of my skin. Before church I had voided and it burned, so during the service I was very uncomfortable! Thought I had a UTI (the sensation went away after a few hours and some rest). Has this happened to anyone else? I also had the chills/sweats. I developed a knot in my lower back on the night of day 6. At a spot where my back usually hurts me, I was so surprised to feel the knot. I also have a history of very bad cramps and symptoms during my menstrual cycle. One of the reasons I am doing the cleanse. I think I am about to start and the cramps have been coming from time to time for two days. This is my first MC so I am thinking to myself are these really detox symptoms or am I just having PMS. I sooooo wanted to quit tonight. Almost can't stop thinking about it, but I am going to go to day 8 and pray for a better day. Really want to make it to day 10 and hope these next few days aren't as tempting for me to quit. Also I had a random BM towards to middle of my day and I never do that. It was mucous. So maybe I really am detoxing and need to stick with it. I really don't want to quit but honestly feel as though three more days is an eternity (I am a bad exaggerater or so my husband says )

Hi Katie,
I'm so glad you are joining me. I tried to start last Wednesday but failed so I am starting again today. I know that if we support each other we can do this without many tears
I, like you, have noticed some symptoms that I don't necessarily like too much, hence I want to see them disappear along with the extra weight.

Have a great day - I'll be waiting to hear from you!

Hi Vlt, Katie97, morgause, and cherherr

There is a link for ppl going 40 days and longer. I suggest you read it and go there for support. i am on my first day today. I plan to go 30-40 days. have 3 weddings to attend, and i'm in one of them. I'm tired of being the largest one in the party . esp. when i'm always the tallest as well. Hope the support keeps you committed to your goals.

Cherherr -I have experienced what i have called HOT TOXIC EXITS they are a detox symptom. so is the knot in your back. the second cleanse i did helped with my cramps. i would get them so bad i'd be in bed for days if i didn't use some kind of drug. The longer cleanse allowed me to not experience the excruciating cramps. So i say stick it out as much as you can. the benefits are worth it.

I am at the end of day 5 on my second cleanse. My first I did for 10 days no problem so am planning on going longer, not sure how long yet but will see.

For the past couple of days I have been having an aching pain through my back and hips and legs that is not going away. I don't remember having this on my first cleanse which was about 10 months ago. The pain is fairly intense and it is hard to be comfortable and feels like it is in the bones or joints not the muscles. Has anyone else had this kind of symptom? Is it normal? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks Bev

Hi Bev,

Have you ever been in a car accident or fell or anything like that? Usually during a cleanse you may feel pain in areas that have been injured in the past. It should go away w/ the SWF. Have you tried a heating pad or stretches to alleviate the pain?

[powderz]

I have had whiplash a couple of times, but it's not my neck that bothers me the most. I don't notice any differance after I do the SWF, the pain is constant and strong enough that it makes it difficult to get to sleep. I will stick with the cleanse as long as the pain doesn't get any worse.
I read in one of the posts that pain can happen if you are severely toxic, but since I have done the cleanse less than a year ago without these symptoms it seems unlikely that would be the problem.
