2010: What day are you on and how are you doing?

[Zaika]

Hello Everyone!

I'm currently beginning Day 2 of the MC, and I'm so pleased I've found this site/forum!

I'm 26, the mother of a gorgeous 1.5 year-old girl, and was diagnosed last year with Lupus. After having done a lot of research, I've found that people with auto immune disorders seem to find great relief through diet modification. As the only way I'm able to function currently is with a laundry list of medications, I'm really hoping that detoxing and changing my diet & lifestyle will help my body battle itself back on its own!

I've spoken with my MD and he's ok'd the MC, as long as all of my current prescriptions remain in place (how nice to find a detox plan that understands we can't all mess with our meds!).

I know many have found relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis--anyone know anything about Lupus sufferers?

Cheers!

Newbies: Stick to the book and don't "Substitute" anything. If you do you're not doing The Master Cleanse.

Day 6, still going strong. Yoga this morning was great - I was able to get deeper into a lot of the poses and my forward bends were fabulous. It really helps having empty innards!

People still smell horrible. I asked my boyfriend to try to eat vegan today to see if that helped any. He smells like rancid cheese to me right now - isn't that awful? I've experienced this before when on the MC or even after eating strictly vegan for an extended time. Hopefully it will settle down after I start eating again.

DRBREW - I'm planning on 14 days minimum, and will see how I'm doing then and decide whether to continue or not. There is a shop in Austin that roasts their beans over a wood flame - delicious!

Hello to all, and thank you for sharing your experiences.
I have done several fast in the past, not the MC but a water fast, and a juice fast. This time I"m trying the MC because I've heard such good feeback.

I have been on the MC for 2 days, the first day was okay, had a slight headache which turned into a screaming headache by later afternoon/night.

Not much hungry,threw out the day, which was great.
I took the "smooth move tea" last night and this morning 2/26/10 but haven't gone to the bathroom as of yet. I guess I should give my body a little more time, but I thought with the tea you would just go when you awoke the following morning.

Havent tried the SWF because I don't want to throw up as many people have.
Any advice?

Hey all

day 13 for me. Feel great! I also have issues with being cold though and even though I'm in fl it's cold here! Oh well. I really don't know my timeframe. Probably through next week.. Right now I'm not anxious to get off anytime soon. I would love to get a pink tongue on one of these cleanses. I've never had one.

Regards
Lynda

Yea, I'm down with people smelling horrible, I have to deal with the public sometimes in my job and some of them just smell awful, I wonder what I smell like when I'm eating regularly, at least I'm mostly vagetarian with some fish.

Wow, wood fire roasted coffee, sounds good, of course any coffee sounds good at this point!

Hola all

Wrapping up day 3...energy still really low. For the first time ever (I have done about 6 MC) I drank my salt water in the mornin and waited for the flush...and I got nothing. Where oh where did it go? Never have had a problem in this department before. I am using a different salt...a finer grade than usual but the exact same amount. Any thoughts on where I went wrong?

Gonna give it a whirl again tomorrow. Happy Flushing everyone!

Hello Everybody,

Finishing up day 3 and feeling surprisingly good. I haven't had any headaches, but then I wasn't a huge caffeine drinker. Coffee every so often (maybe 2-3 times/week) and usually only 1-2 cups. Soda not regularly so maybe that's why. My tongue hasn't turned white yet either. I'm hoping feeling this way continues because last time I do remember having a headache. But then again, I was working at that time and drinking coffee everyday. I got laid off last March and haven't worked since. Being off this long has gotten me really lazy and not taking care of myself, hence doing the cleanse again. Trying to go for 20 days, but will settle for 15. I'm down 4 lbs and feeling really good, except when I have to cook for my daughter! lol

Hi everyone!

Yesterday, on day 3 of my MC, I dropped a whole cup of lemonade on my laptop computer... and it's been declared clinically dead for a whole 24 hours...

And today, it came to life again!

So here's my new motto : if my computer has gone through the Master Cleanse, so can I!

Hang in there everybody! xxxxxxxx
