MASTER CLEANSE DAY 9:

Alright, folks. We're rounding the bend of the final lap here. And I must say, I am extremely proud of myself and quite pleased with this Master Cleanse. Its just been a breeze...no issues whatsoever. I honesly feel like I could go longer...but I promised the family to be off by Mother's day. So with nothing new to report...I'm signing off day 9!! Till tomorrow!!

DAY 10 – FINAL DAY
I am so excited that I have made it until Day 10. Yesterday and today I have felt really great and in some ways I wish I could stay on this longer, but right now I am just so happy to have the last SWF behind me. That is the only really tough part of this for me. Very few cravings, and none of them lasted long. Moments of hunger, but again short lived. My skin feels and looks great and yesterday I was starting to feel like I had lost weight even though the scale has been showing it all along.
I know I will be doing this again, and I really do want to try a longer cleanse at some point in the future. Right now I have my oranges for tomorrow and picked up some veggies to put into my soup for Saturday. I am really looking forward to making some new things.
To all of you who are also finishing up today, congrats to us! Colibri & little piper you will be done very soon so hang in there.

MASTER CLEANSE DAY 10:

Congratulations to me - and to everyone on day 10!!! We made it through. Got my fresh oranges ready to squeeze tomorrow AM, and i can't wait. Got my vegetables waiting to cook too. Its been a real pleasure doing this cleanse. I have lost a total of 8-pounds in the last 10days and I look and feel great. Hubby is already talking about buying me new swimwear for our June vacation!! He's such a "proud peacock". But anyway, I'm happy to be by his side.


My final Master Cleanse for the 2012 year will be SEPTEMBER 1st - 10days. Its approximately 4months away. Doing regular cleanses, every 3 or 4months is a great way to keep the body and all its organs regulated, and functioning well. This is not as hard as some folks imagine. But it does require a strong will, and discipline!! I think we here have shown folks that we possess both!!

Day 6 here. I am happy for all of you that are finishing up, but sad to be losing MC buddies - everyone is almost done! I told myself that I wasn't going to get on the scale until Sunday, but this morning I was sooooo tempted to. I'm glad to be detoxing, but afraid that the weight isn't coming off. I'd be lying if I said that wasn't part of my motivation behind this cleanse. I've read that some people alternate the SWF and tea in the AM if they aren't losing weight. Has anyone tried this? I am going to wait until Sunday and see how the first 8 days went before I make any changes.....

Just went for a walk over my lunch hour. It was a PERFECT day for a walk, 62 and sunny, slight breeze. I hope everyone is having a great day!

Hello all,

Day 17 for me today and I've decided to call it "over"! I have felt very good today. My tongue has turned a partial pink..2/3 's pink/back of tongue still whitetish. I've lost a total of 15 lbs. Lost 4 inches in my waist, 3 inches in bust,
2 inche in hips. Over all I am very pleased and will do another cleanse in 3 or 4 months. I am going to take the 30 day challenge with the raw diet and I look very forward to all the raw veggies, fruits, berries and nuts.

I want to thank each of you for your responses to all of my post. Its just wonderful knowing that you haVE the support of a real live person going thru the same experiences as you are.

Looks like there are several of you that will be having OJ tommorrow. Congratulations, I know there is a sense of pride and success when we have accomplished a task that we have set our minds to. I know our Juice will taste great in the morn....I'm excited

For the rest of you, I will be checking in on ya as I will continue to spend time in the "raw" section for receipes for this new way of eating and staying fit and healthy. Your days left are few and I know you can make it. It seems to get easier every day and the LA really starts tasting really good. Enjoy your days left and give yourself a pat on the back. You're doing good and your mc will be over before you know it.

Again, I appreciate each of you and wish wellness for you each. I pray the sun will shine in your lives each and every day...........................barb

Hellllooooooo!

Finishing off Day 7 of my 21 day Master Cleanse. First couple day were absolute hell. Mostly because I ate a whole lotta yucky food the week before and up to day 1. Night before I began I drank the senna tea. Morning Day 1 drank the swf with 1tbl sea salt and nothing came out! Eeek! So Day 2 I drank the swf with 2tbl salt and holy wow. Now I get why some people can't do the swf. Took me just about everything I could not to throw up. Since Day 4 or so, been getting more energy, stabilizing blood sugar levels (I'm a Type 1 Diabetic) and feel like my adrenals are finally mellowing out from dumping too much cortisol in my system.
So Day 7 I'm finishing up, been drinking the lemonade a lot with 2tbl molasses and 1tbl maple syrup past couple days. So I typically make the lemonade with 16 ounces water, 4 tbl lemon juice, the molasses and maple syrup with as much cayenne as I can handle. So yeah today beginning dinner time, having a lot of number 2s. My bum is killing me! Next time I'm buying Charmin at Costco. Any thoughts on why I may be passing a lot of fluid and a few pieces on a time when I don't have the swf in me or haven't dramk my nightly tea? Also does anyone do Nauli breathing after drinking the swf and if so, what is your experience?
Thank you so much!

Day 10 here... although I actually had my OJ today. I've done soo well on this cleanse I decided to cut it one day short. I was not having any detox symptoms except for the white tongue. I've never had any problems transitioning to food afterwards so on todays menu was OJ for 3/4 of the day and then a small salad and watermelon. So happy to be eating food again, but I'm very conscious about what I'm eating. Total weight lossed in 9 days is 14 lbs!

Good luck to those of you continuing to cleanse! This forum is very valuable every day with support, suggestions, questions and answers.

Limonada-- Hmmm Tbl usually means Tablespoon (or Tbs)... sure hope you are not using 1 or 2 Tablespoons!! No wonder you are having problems drinking it... Eeeek... SWF should be 32oz water (I use two 16oz bottles of water)... and 2 teaspoons (tsp) of sea salt (or 1 teaspoon in each bottle of water). I sure hope you meant teaspoons... good luck to you!

Thanks for sharing

I am new to the MC and am on Day 2! I was surprised that I did not feel hungry yesterday but the tough part will be passing by the taco stand directly across the street from my house every day. I did the swf yesterday but only had one elimination the entire day about 30 minutes after I drank it. I took the laxative tea last night and still no elimination whatsoever today. I think maybe the problem is that the tea I bought was not 100% senna (it was the only one I could find). After work this afternoon, I managed to find the 100% senna tea so I will take that tonight and see what happens.

I had trouble finding all the ingredients as I live in Mexico and maple syrup and cayenne are not readily available. But some friends brought me down some maple syrup from Canada and another friend gave me some cayenne she had brought down.

Also, the sea salt I used was definitely sea salt (course) but after some research and some translation of the packaging, I have a feeling it might be iodized which is why it probably didn't work. So my plan is to just do the tea (now that I have the right one), morning and night and hopefully, things will start MOVING as they are supposed to!

Hi Chancy72 -

Nice to see someone else on here who lives in Mexico! I've done this cleanse several times, all while living in Mexico. I always have to use limes instead of lemons. I usually have maple syrup that I've brought or friends bring me from the U.S. I also have a large supply of cayenne that I brought down a while back. I too am using a tea which has senna, but it's not 100% senna. I've brought down the Celtic sea salt in the past, but this time I'm using sal del mar from a local store - it's not packaged, so I don't know much about it, but I'm pretty sure it's just natural (non-iodized) salt made nearby.

If your sea salt is really course, as is mine, make sure to use fully rounded tsp's. The first time I used this coarse salt I didn't benefit from the full effects of the SWF. After rounding the tsp's I was back to making several rushed trips to the bathroom! I hope this helps you - the "flush" in the mornings is SO worth it.

Oh, I see you did find 100% Senna tea. I'm curious - where did you find it and does it have a brand name here?

Good luck! I am on Day 12 of 14 (woo hoo!) and am feeling pretty great!

Saludos,
