Hi everyone! Newbie here Today is Day 2. Saltwater is such a horrible thing! ugh! I substituted the tea for the saltwater this morning, but will force myself to have it tomorrow. Any thoughts?

Hi Meeshka. Thanks for the reply to my question!

Yes, insane with food. I totally hear ya! Stanley's book is great, but it really does not give you the whole picture. My co-worker read my copy of his book in one night and then handed it back to me. I was worried for her because I have been perusing this forum and it's posting since April and getting all studied up. I am so totally glad I did, because if I was not prepared for certain things that happen, I think I would have quit on Day 2. I emailed her this web address and advised her to try to read the main postings. I have not checked in with my co-worker to see if she is still on the cleanse as I am on vacation. I think I should call her today.

You are right, we do pollute ourselves again after the cleanse, especially if we do not have a plan. But even plans do not always work out in the real day in and day out society we live in. Plus this world we live in is constantly re-polluting us.

I thought about going raw. Bought books and surfed the web. It sounds great, fun and yummy too. But I know how I am. I will start and then my DH will want to go out to eat. We do no have any raw restaurants around here. There are some in Seattle, but with traffic, it is hard to justify spending that money on gas. I have been a vegan since April and even that is hard for me. Right before the cleanse I ate cheese and ice-cream telling myself, ''well, you are going on the cleanse so it will all come out, no big deal.'' Totally wrong attitude, but I could not help myself.

Jackie: Try to get in at least 6 lemonades. I know, I know. I'm drinking mine "iced" and loving it. You might want to try that if you're not doing so already.

Congrats on the weight loss and for sticking with it!


anyara: Congrats on 14 days!!


cd2318: You did it!!

Day 4:

Started out ok. I have reduced my time to 35 minutes that is takes to gulp down the SWF. Yea! Feeling a little nauseous after my elims, but I think that will go away after I start drinking my LAs.

anyara: Congrats on 14 days!

cd2318: Way to go with your 10 days!

Smaller portions - yes! That will be my plan too. When I get back to solids.

Talking abount not ''looking well,'' I am going into work tomorrow to pick-up and co-worker to take her to Chemo. All of my other co-workers told me that they can't wait to see how I look when I come in. Whatever! I will look just fine!

alicein1land: I hope you are right about ''downhill from here!''

meeshka: Sorry about the pulsing headache. The one I had forming last night turned in the same thing. But it is gone now.


Hang in there everyone!

I just started today and this is my first attempt. Luckily my DH is doing the MC also. Don't think I could cook for him and not "taste test" everything. Hang in there try and try again, you can do it!

Nothing helps the SWF to be less vile. I tried holding my nose, using a straw, little warmer, little colder, chugging, sipping, everything I could think of. I just had to do the tea some days cuz I couldn't keep from throwing up.

[fasttrackgirl]

Good Luck to you on day 1. Just hang in there for the first few days and you will feel alot better by day 4.

I am on Day 10 today! and I feel fantastic. It is so worth it.

Warning: tangent below....

Another reason to cleanse and eat right. Kevin Trudeau states that the government is working with others to make us and keep us fat, unhealthy and in need of medicine. Mercola has been saying it for years and now Peter Jennings is into it. LOOK HERE

Ever since I read Trudeau's book "The weight loss cure" I feel like my eyes have been opened like never before. At first I thought he was a bit on the insane side, but something inside of me kept saying, "what if?" What if these allegations are true?

Well, I'm no longer a disbeliever and it makes me really mad to think that my food is being altered deliberately to make me sick and the Government justifies it by saying "We're not making you buy the food". WHAT???? Just the fact that they dare to poison it in the first place is UNFORGIVABLE! Would you deliberately feed altered food to your children? Of course not and yet this is "our government" that I usually defend to the death but excuse me? When I think of the food I've fed my children not knowing that it would eventually cause sickness and disease I SEE RED! And THAT's an understatement!!

Everyone eating junk food, click on the above link. Do a lot of research. Read Mercola's blogs, read Peter's newsletter. The latest one has links to petitions to tell the government to quit irradiating and messing with our food!! We need to get involved.

Please pardon my passion here. It seems as if it's all coming to a head in my mind and it could just be just me but to have Trudeau, Mercola, Peter Jennings and Peter on the same page at the same time telling me to "WAKE UP!" I'd better listen.

I hate the idea that the government is controlling me, yes controlling me via food. Who can live without food? So, what's the alternative? We take responsibility for ourselves! Stop blaming fast food places and crappy food in grocery stores and figuring this out for ourselves. There is plenty of healthy food out there and it's up to us to persue it on our own behalf and for that of our families. We ARE intelligent enough to tell the government "we now know what you're doing and we don't like it". "We the people..."

egads now I'm debating about posting this...I don't want to freak you all out but I just read Mercola's take on this and it struck a nerve!

I really care about all of you and it's time for me and you to get even more serious about our health by tuning in to what's really going on! If we go back to eating the same way we did before the cleanse we'll go back to the same illness before the cleanse.

Um...I'm going to press the submit button now...

Oh Res...you bring to the forefront what is known by many.

It sickens me to know someone is profiting from the suffering and misery of other human beings. The only thing we can do is beat them at their own game.

Res for pres....or at least head of the FDA !
