Organic is always preferable, but it's not a requirement.

I always buy my lemons/limes at Costco.

DAY 40!!!!!!!!!!

The day has arrived and I am sad to say it is the end of this wonderful journey. I sure had my ups and down, but I would do it again and again. I lost a total of 25lbs, no migranes anymore, no asthma symptoms, more energy, better skin, and overall healthier. I am already thinking of when my next MC will be.

I want to thank people like Res, Alicein1land among some others that supported me in my journey. Without the support of this site and my family, I don't think that I would have made it this far. THANK YOU!

To all of those that are just starting, Good Luck!!
To those ending, Congrats!!!

Wow, what and inspiration! I was the same when I ended my first cleanse, I couldn't wait to do it again...and i'm not! I am starting again on Saturday since I have hit the 3 month wait mark. I can't wait to have all those great feelings again. I am going to try to do 30 days!

Hello all,

I'm new to the group and on day 2. So far, so good. Thanks to all your posts for the great support and encouragement you've shared. Doing a 10 day cleanse. I generally do this cleanse twice a year and usually for 10 days and experience something different each time. This time around on day 2, I had a little dizziness when I got up to "go" in the middle of the night. When I read in the book (The Master Cleanser) about "some people experience a tremendous stirring up", that was me FOR REAL. Glad I read the book, cause I was prepared and know that its what the lemonade is stirring up in my system.

I'm looking forward to this experience, although my hardest days are usually days 3 and 5. Wish me luck. Stay encouraged all!!!

day 7 and at 9:02 a.m., i can already tell it's going to a good one.

because -- oh my, what a difference a week makes on this always-interesting ride.

last thursday, i was mopey, listless, fat, bloated, sad -- almost defeated.

today, i feel positive, happy, spirited, in-control, ready, motivated.

how fast things can turnaround.

congrats to all regardless of the day. what an awe-inspiring accomplishment just to start!

well you've earned it!!

DAY 1

I feel really good this morning like a spring chicken(well i am).
I tried mixing the LAX tea with peppermint tea to help the flavor and a few drops of MS and who would of thought it didd'nt taste like LAX tea, thanks Res

I have made it through Day 2 so far pretty well. Although everything I smell makes my stomach growl, I refuse to give up. I'm just curious if anyone has problems with dizziness and what they to do combat it? I haven't had a problem yet but I have struggled with it before so I fear the worst is yet to come. any tips would be appreciated!

Before i re-started MC i got to day 3 and thats when i got dizzy. I got up in the morning and basicly hit the floor. Not sure whats best but i say stick your feet up fo a while and have some lemonade !!

I start the cleanse in the morning (9/21/07)... I'm surprisingly excited!!!
The last time I did the cleanse was during the spring - march? I did it for 10 days. So it has been too long. I have gained weight ( ) since then due to a foot injury that caused me to be very inactive plus the stress of school took a toll on my eating habits - I figured this was the best and fastest way to lose the weight and clear out my system. My goal is to stay on the cleanse for 15-20 days and lose 25 pounds. On the last cleanse, the salt water flush was most challenging - im not a morning person nor a morning eater so it was hard to drink it down. Wish me luck!

Hi, I haven't started the MC yet but will be soon. I have read both books and am very excited about all the benefits that come with this cleanse. I do have a couple of questions though. Is it okay to use essential Peppermint oil on my tounge for good breadth during this fast? Also, I seem to be having some digestion problems and was wondering if this would take care of it. Symptoms are eating very little and having it sit right between breast area and having my stomach bloated even though the food has not made it there yet. It seems to go down very slowly and the bloating goes away after the food is digested. Thanks for your help, Hadassah

Hi everyone. I'm new to the board, but I've been reviewing it for the last couple of days in preparation for my cleanse. It will be my first cleanse and I'm hoping for a positive outcome; I'm extremely anxious!! I will start tonight w/ the tea.
I've got all my ingredients however, I do have a question about my salt. I got it at the health food store. It says "Lima" at the top, but underneath it says "Atlantic Sea Salt". The bag says unrefined, no additives, no preservatives, no heating. It doesn't really say "non-iodized" anywhere. I asked the lady and she said it WAS non iodized but seemed unsure of herself. Wondering if anyone could help.


I'm five foot three, 140lbs. My goal is to lose weight of course, but ultimately I just want to begin a healthier lifestyle. I smoke, want to quit; I eat out quite a bit; want to quit. A little bit of everything!! Wish me luck!!

I just got back from there and bought 2 bags of lemons and one bag of limes. How long does that normally last you?

Hi Everyone, I am a newbie. I am currently on day 3 and feel great. I have been reading posts for several days and was starting to get scared because everything I read said my 2nd&3rd day would be hard. So far I have not had that problem. I feel really good. I do get hungy at times but I just remind myself that I am not starving. I had to go out to dinner with some clients last night and I did pretty well untill the dinner showed up at the table. It smelled so good I almost cried ( I mean seriously had tears in my eyes). I brought my lemonade and just happily drank it while they ate and I was over it in about 5 minutes. I am worried about one thing though, I am due for my period in 2 days and I usually get pretty bad cramps. I planned it so it would not land on my worst days but I worry that my cravings and cramps will make it very hard for me. Has any one gone through this and give me some advice?
