Hi,

I am going to download your book tonight when I get off of work, thank you.

I have two big questions though, one, do you think I can start this during a work day, I work 8-5 in an office, or don’t know if I should wait to start on the weekend, however, I am really excited to start this tomorrow.

Also, two, is it okay to exercise during this cleanse? Maybe I just need to wait and see how I feel and if I have the energy to do so. I usually do a cardio work out at the gym 5-6 days per week and do Bikram Yoga 4-5 times per week.

Thank you for your time, energy and effort that you put into helping others on this fast!!

I had gastric bypass a 4 years ago…will I still benefit from the Master Cleanse?

Michele January 23, 2008 at 11:58 am

I would love to get started on it – I just haven’t had the money yet! To buy the necessary foodstuff, and your book. And then I have to travel for my job to 5 offices every month, trying to figure that out. I was out of work for 5 months – and had to take a very stressful job. AND I have been sick on/off with a cough that robs me of my sleep – for months! I have done this once before and found it great – but didn’t have your book back then. I feel cruddy, and am 40 lbs overweight – need to do it! But haven’t been able to get started!

Thanks for keeping me on you mailing list!

Can I still take birth control pills while doing the master cleanse? Will they still be effective? Thank you!

Hello Raylen,
3 days ago i finished my 10 days Master Cleanse,it is great to
find all this new info on Master Cleanse,but i think the old way is the best,
if you ready to do it mentally,what is the hardest think to do,then there are no
craving and everything go smoothly,i live in Italy,it is impossible to find here
even grade B Ms or laxative tea,so just with salted water and lemonade is fine and i did cook every day
for my husband and daughter,for me it was a challenge and i am very happy i did it!
It was very easy compare to the first time(4 days),with bad pain in all bones and headache,
but if you new an advance that you can have that,then you go through that and
by the end almost do not want to stop! I found the first ,,orange juice day,, a bit annoying,
but now i found some good tips from web-site of P.Glickman and i am taking probiotics and
thank you for your tips and info as well.
Inga

Raylen, I purchased your Master Cleanse Secrets and noticed there were SO MANY spelling and punctuation errors! For the money I paid I would expect words to be spelled correctly! I will not consider being an affiliate unless these errors are corrected.

I’d like to continue my exercise program while using your system. Will that be ok? I’m not interested in loosing weight, just clearing my system out.

I jog 8 miles every other morning and ride my bike for twenty miles on the other mornings/days.
I go to the gym in the afternoon and use the eliptical’s for 45 minutes and then 30 minutes of resistance training.

Thanks,
George

Leanne February 6, 2008 at 1:33 pm

I am on my third day of the Master Cleanse. I have done this before and didn’t really have any side effects other than headaches. However this time I feel like I am developing a chest/head cold. I have a lot of mucus and do not feel well at all. Is this a normal part of the detoxing process? I am trying to decide if I should ride this out in hopes that the detoxing will make this go away quickly or if I should quit for now.

Thank you.

ANGELITA February 8, 2008 at 3:37 pm

Well I oredered for myself and my husband, but I just didn’t get the email that the items had shipped and so I said cancel my order. It is very upsetting to think that you may just be a scammer. If you are only one person and you have this MCKIt for sale on a mass levelthen you are messing up. Since you advertise these kits then you should be able to deliver right away, that didn’t happen here. I heard no response other than to check the order to see that indeed you did cancel it. Ofcourse I am following up with my bank to make sure the credit is there.

**Edit by Raylen**

I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but there are no Master Cleanse kits for sale on this website. The only Master Cleanse product I offer is my ebook.

Ronda Hall February 15, 2008 at 10:50 am

I was trying to purchase your The Master Cleanse and am unable to. For some reason the places where I click to go to another page do not work. I received an email from you this morning saying I could get the plan for 1/2 off, which I then clicked on the link in my email…. now that one worked.. .then I tried clicking on the one on the page and it wouldn’t work. Same thing happened when I tried to order thru the website a few weeks ago.

Thank you for your consideration

I just finished the Master Cleanse and am a beleiver for life. I also recommend a liver and gallbladder flush at the end of the cleanse. A book by Andreas Moritz explains how to do it. I am interested in the Master Cleanse book, but wondered if it was available in softcover? It would be nice to have something more permanent that a computer printout. Thanks for your reply.

kevin February 17, 2008 at 12:13 pm

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS RONDA??? I CAN NOT PURCHASE THE PROGRAM AND ADD BOOKS AT YOU 1/2 PRICE SPECIAL TO ONGOING NEWSLETTER READERS?? AN TRYED EMAILING YOU ONLY TO GET DIRECTED HERE? ON A FIXED INCOME AND NEED TO SAVE EVERY NICKEL I CAN. PLEASE ADVISE

David Barelli February 18, 2008 at 8:30 am

Hey Raylen,
I think it would be better if you could email me so i can ask you my question. Thanks for your confidentiality. I hope to hear from you soon.
keep up the great work,

George Eckenrode February 18, 2008 at 10:13 am

Raylen,

Your link to Citibank or whoever you are processing payments with, is NOT working. I responded to your newsletter offer but the link goes nowhere and I cannot finish the deal. Please let me know how to proceed. Thanks.

DEBORAH ERICK February 19, 2008 at 11:46 am

Raylan…

Just to be clear…I would really like your book in soft cover. Is that available?

Deborah

Karen February 20, 2008 at 8:23 am

On am on my fourth day now of the master cleanse and it is going well but I have some ?s.

First, should I be doing the sea salt cleanse everyday? I am having excessive diareaha.

Second, My husband has had very minimal bowel movements although he is drinking the salt water cleanse each day. Does this mean he is clean or backed up?

Thank you for your help
Karen

mike February 22, 2008 at 8:44 am

Raylen – Not sure if you do respond to these or not. I’ve been on the Cleanse for 8 days now. Initially I lost 6 pounds, first 3 days, but since then have only lost another 2-3 pounds. Also my eliminations have not really included any solid material since day 3. I have followed the diet strictly, even using a little less Maple syrup, 1- 1.5 tbsp per drink. The only thing that I can question is the water. I do not have filtered water at my house or work, so I have used bottled water – Dasani, Pure Life, and Poland Springs. Do you have specific bottled water that works with the Cleanse – are these on this?

My plan was to go 20 days, but I’m hoping to eliminate more solids and lose more weight.

Thanks

kokila March 3, 2008 at 12:34 am

I have tried doing your Master cleanse diet, but cud not do more then 2 days as I am very addicted to my 4 cups of tea and my vitamins,and calcium tablets.Not to forget I am 50 yrs old

I also wanted to know if drinking Seasalt water daily along with only fruit , juices and salad is safe for me.
How many days shud I drink sea salt??? Can I take sea salt water along with my regular food too?

Let me know its advantages and disadvantages, I find this laxative very effective.

Thank You

karys March 3, 2008 at 10:01 pm

i went through a five-4-day cleanse, but on the fifth day, i got some pineapple fruits, i drank some taxative tea to remove. On the following day, i continue. Is this possible.
what is the effect of the digestive system in this cases.

Alice March 4, 2008 at 9:04 am

Hi Raylen,

I am going to Florida for Easter and would love to be minus 10. I want to start the cleanse, but I am a bit scared at failing…Fear of the unkown, I guess.

Can I buy your books at Borders. How long will it take if I order them via the internet.

Priscilla March 4, 2008 at 9:09 am

I have been cleansing for 3 day now and haven’t had a bowel movement. Is that normal? How long does it take for the cleansing process to start? Can you chew sugar free gum to cut the cravings?

Thank you,

Kathy Coan March 4, 2008 at 1:44 pm

Is it okay to take antidepressents while on the Master Cleanse?

Thank you.

Rachel March 5, 2008 at 1:49 am

Hi Raylen,
First of all, thank you for sharing all your knowledge about the Master Cleanse,
I’ve recently completed the Master Cleanse twice for 3 days, and have felt amazing;
the problem is that each time I begin eating properly I struggle with poor digestion again, and the resulting problems such a jaundice from a disfunctioning liver.
I’ve read that you suggest to give the body a rest for 45 days after the cleanse,
however is that just for when you complete the 10-day cleanse?
I’m desprete to get back on the cleanse and make the ten days,
would that put too much strain on my body’s metabolism, or can one fast for 3 days and then for 10 without having to wait for 45 days? If not, can I do another 3 day cleanse?
Also, none of the laxatives worked for me, even the salt, is it ok to break the fast with fresh apple juice?
Thanks again!

Sally K Thomas March 6, 2008 at 5:06 pm

I live in the Republic of Panama, where it is very difficult (and very expensive) to buy the type of maple syrup recommended in the Master Cleanse.

Is it okay to instead use Organic Sugar Cane Honey? This is not bee honey, it is the honey from sugar cane.

I look forward to your guidance in this matter.

Sally Thomas

awandra March 10, 2008 at 12:25 pm

Rebecca A. Newsome March 13, 2008 at 4:17 pm

Hello Raylen,

I am one faucet adapter away from beginning the master clease! I am waiting patiently, but in the mean time my question is this; I prematurely bought my organic lemons and squeezed & refrigerated them only to find out that my sink needed a special adapter. I then immediately froze the juice. Will it be okay to thaw the juice in the fridge and use it daily anyway without losing any of it’s benefits in the lemonade?

Thank you very much.

Abigail March 16, 2008 at 8:38 pm

I want to know everything before start on MC. Thanks

Anonymous March 18, 2008 at 6:43 pm

Abigail March 19, 2008 at 3:31 am

Angie March 20, 2008 at 10:32 am

Just wondering if it is ok to still take regular prescriptions during the cleanse.

Abigail March 20, 2008 at 8:20 pm

diana March 21, 2008 at 1:49 pm

Hello, i’m trying to order your Master Cleanse Secrets guide but the links do not work, It’s not my pop up blockers or anything like that.

by the way, I’ve read some of the other comments here and a lot of the stuff you guys are asking about, Raylen explains this on his website here, for example he does have the ingreadients to buy and the what you might experience so that should obviously explain the soft black feces that one person asked about. Black feces means your stool is old and was backed up.. Other people are asking if you can take vitamins while on the cleanse, again he explained that already.
I really wish people would leave or ask valid comments so that Raylen will be easier for him to answer these questions.

Jonanne Terry March 26, 2008 at 12:13 pm

I finished my first 10 day cleanse 2 weeks ago- and I never felt better! Especially the mental clarity that I felt at day 8 and beyond. I ate some ham on Easter and have been drinking alcohol. My body is not reacting well. Bloated feeling in my diaphram, constant burping and a thick mucus deep in my throat!!
????? MY QUESTION – Can I do the MC again so soon after finishing it? I feel like maybe my body was not done cleansing.

Bianca March 28, 2008 at 8:36 pm

I plan to do the Master Cleanse to detoxify as well as lose weight, but mainly to lose weight. The only problem is that my mom won’t let me do it if I can’t eat anything, because she says it would be unhealthy to do so. What should I do about this? Another thing is there isn’t a health food store near me and I have no way to pay for the products online. Are there any alternatives?

NoLo March 31, 2008 at 2:27 am

I am a Massage Therapist and Fitness/Dance Instructor teaching 10 to up 12 classes per week. Is it wise (safe) to do this diet and not eat anything as suggested for this cleanse considering the above-mentioned?

Thank you,
No Lo

Kathy April 4, 2008 at 7:39 am

Hi Raylen,

I would like to buy your book, but the link is not working right now.

I am also very concerned with the sugar in the maple syrup, as I have hypoglycemia quite bad. I do not eat any sugar, white flour or processed foods as I get sick from them. I don’t even tolerate fruit. I am convinced the Master Cleanse would really help my health problems, I am just scared of the maple syrup. Have you had any feedback from people with hypoglycemia? I would really appreciate your input.
Best regards,
Kathy

amber April 9, 2008 at 6:03 am

does it matter if i use kosher salt instead of sea salt?

Rhuby April 10, 2008 at 10:10 pm

hanks for the tips. I’m on day six and still hungry all the time. Other than that, I feel fine.

I wanted to respectfully point out that a “lesson” is something you learn and “lessen” means decrease the side effects. Also, feedback is one word.

I really appreciate your support,

Rhuby

Carol Christian April 12, 2008 at 2:43 pm

I would like to order MASTER CLEANSE SECRETS in a hard copy (book/booklet) version rather than having to download. Please let me know how I can do this. Can I just write directly to your address and mail you a check, including any shipping charges or ?? if there is not a way to order hard copy on-line. Thank you for your response. Carol

Carol Christian April 12, 2008 at 2:52 pm

I have looked at the questions/comments which people have sent in and they are all quite interesting, but there are no ANSWERS. Being able to see your answers would be more beneficial. Thanks again. Carol

Nicole April 19, 2008 at 7:23 pm

Hello Raylen,
I am 14 years old. I heard about this when Beyonce announced she did it. I’ve really been wanting to do the Master Cleanse to lose a few pounds before my Formal, but my mom says it’s dangerous. I show her the testimonials and facts, and she refuses. Can you prove to my mom that this is safe? I have tried every method of weight loss, and this is my last hope. My cousin tried it, and she also reccomended not doing it, because she said it tasted awful. Please please please help!
Thank You,
Nicole

Lore April 23, 2008 at 10:24 am

Dear Raylen

Thank you for your advice. I have not had time to go through all the material as of yet( it took me so long to download it – -I wish i could get copies of the material – -I would be so much more able to read it if i did not have to sit in pain at the computer.

- – I started Monday and am on day 3. I’ve done the cleanse before, and know the benefits. I would like to do it for 40 days this time – -have to see how i feel. A well meaning friend called this morning about an alarming news brief informing the listeners that the cleanse is the worst possible one to do, etc.

I informed her that I was aware of the pitfalls of gaining weight back after – -been there/done that.
you have a happy and healthy day too

Lore
