HI!! I am new to the board! I am on my first day of my second master cleanse! Last December was my first go around and it was everything I hope it to be and more!! I did keep off 4lb of the 10lb I lost with the first cleanse but I am an emotional eater and life got a little crazy! But I am ready for a New Year and a new start! Hope everyone is done well!!

I have never done this cleanse, but I am excited to start. I am starting Jan. 2, 2009

Hi, everyone I am starting my cleanse tomorrow this will be my first cleanse. I went and brought all of the supplies today. I have to admit im a little nervous but excited at the same time. How often do I drink the tea? I read that I drink the tea the day before I start the cleanse (which will be today) but the days after do I drink the tea once a day or twice?

I am on day two. I woke up with a cold, but I am not sure if it is because of the lemonade, or being outside in the cold all day yesterday.

I'm on day 2 of the MC. Yesterday was really a piece of cake. I drank water most the day and only had 1 lemonade throughout the day. Iknow, not good.
I walked/jogged 2miles, went home drank the lemonade, 2hrs later drank the tea which was at 9pm. 3hrs later, at midnight, I woke up to eliminate. That was strange that it worked in 3hrs.
Today, it's 9am I haven't drank anything yet, not even a sip of water. Yes, I know, I'm off to a slow start. I'm going to drink the SWF within the next 10min. Are you really supposed to drink the saltwater FIRST thing in the morning? Like at 7am? or just in the morning sometime?
Thanks and happy cleansing!

I am still in the preparation phase. I don't get a lot of support from my family. I have just been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and have been taking a lot of prescription drugs. Taking drugs is really difficult for me since I have tried to manage everything naturally for the last 40 years. When you have enough pain it is amazing what you will do! I am scared to do the cleanse but I want to do it, does that sound crazy? I am so excited to find this site and be able to read what so many others have gone through. I know that I need to feel the fear and do it anyway. I believe that this can reduce the inflammation in my body and make a big difference. Thank you

I'm excited to do my second cleanse, only did it for 10 days last time hoping to go between 15 or 20 days this go around. Hopefully the forum will make it a little easier. Starting tonight, wish me luck!!

Changing2: It's kind of funny how when a lot of people start the cleanse they suddenly get flu-like symptoms. I'm not saying you don't have a cold. Just drink lots of water. On my 15th cleanse I remember thinking I was detoxing when in fact I truly had the flu and had to quit after 4 days - but honestly, that's rare.

Keep me posted on how you're doing

Love,

LauraGene: It's okay to be anxious about the cleanse because it's new to you. It can't hurt you so don't worry about that. It will be exciting to see if some of your pain diminishes.

I'm curious, have you ever looked into "natural" methods of treating the RA? If you go to www.mercola.com and type in Rheumatoid Arthritis you'll see not only Dr Mercola's ideas for treatment but he includes indepth articles on other doctors who have success with treating without drugs. Dr Mercola is one of the few Drs that I actually trust - mostly.
