Day 1 was rough, Day 2 was GREAT, Day 3 I felt I needed to sleep all day, took a few naps, and today Day 4, I feel terrible. Mainly just feel the need to vomit. I haven’t done the SWF this morning, I planned on skipping it because of the way I feel…I hope this moves on. I find it weird that this far in, I am finally having awful side effects.

Nothing sounds good, not even food…

Anyone else have any similar issues this far in?

Today is day 6 for me and I have never felt better. The first 3 days were a struggle to get through but now the only reason I want to eat actual food is because the thought of it sounds good but not because I’m craving it. It’s helped me break my smoking habit too. I’ve smoked cigarettes for the last 8 years and it’s amazing that I don’t even have the urge any more!

I tried the Master Cleanse diet in 2007 and I am still suffering from the effects of it. I followed the directions from the book and did it for 10 days. I walked around with a large bottle of the lemonade mixture where ever I went, and it was the only thing I consumed during that time. On the diet, my hands and feet became cold. I think it was due to an electrolite imbalance and your body making sure that enough circulation went to your vital organs. After I got off the diet, my hands and feet became hot and swollen, and this has been happening for the past 4 years. Becuase of my circulation problem which I never had before trying this diet, I am suffering from muscle loss, and dry aged skin. I have gone to the doctors a few times, but they just gave me high blood pressure medicine. Now I might be facing an ongoing problem that I’ll be suffering from for the rest of my life just because I wanted to lose 10 pounds. In order to cleanse your body and lose weight, all you need to do is eat right and exercise. You don’t need to try a fad diet for that. Also, what type of nutrients does cayenne pepper and lemons have? Nothing. Because of this experience, I will never try a fad diet again. Please use my experience before trying this diet. It will do much more harm than good.

I see very few of you are capable of following directions, and reading the proper material. If you are peeing blood, then You do need to see a doctor. Thats not from the MC. That is something else previously wrong. If you are hypoglycemic, or diabetic, then You would figure out a way to get the nutrients you need in a natural way. Like maybe upping the amount of Grade B! Maple syrup and increasing the frequency of drinking the Fresh squeezed or juiced Lemonade WITH cayenne pepper! They arent separate drinks! As for going on with your regular life, if you are SUPER ACTIVE, then you ARENT regular. Im sure you can fast from extreme sports for 10 days if you think you are feeling woosy. Drinking the salt water flush IS mentioned in the MC book. Its recomended at least once, but if you cant stomach it, then dont do it! If you are losing body fluids, then the mix of SEA SALT and WATER isnt right. You shouldnt be losing fluids except what is in the salt water because your kidneys wont filter fluids that have the same characteristics as blood! Think about it! When you have a stomach ulcer, you dont urinate blood, it comes out in your stool! The salt water flush is like drinking a quart of IV fluid, a fluid designed to mix with blood without problem to relplace fluid loss and be able to add nutrients to. Drinking it is not a way to absorb it into your system, or it will just pass right through your intestines. The headaches and bodyaches are normal for people ridding themselves of toxins or denying themselves of toxins. The longer you have them while you fast is a good indicator on how addicted your body was to those chemicals. Caffeine alone is the perfect example. A lot of people dont think they have addictions, but the hypocrits are seen every morning and all day long with their beloved coffee! Just because its legal doesnt make it healthy or even right. Tell me who doesnt start acting like a heroin addict with the DTs when they are quitting tobacco or alcohol. Toxins are toxins. This cleanse is a CLEANSE! Not a weight loss program, not a fad diet, its a detox therapy, and we all have plenty of toxins to escape from.
This separates the strong from the weak. If you are weak, then get stronger. i have a friend that was diagnosed with diabetes in the early stages. Insulin production in her glands was slowing to a stop, and all she did was change her eating habits, a detox cleanse and her glands kicked right back into gear and she pulled herself out to cure her diabetes. She is no longer diagnosed with diabetes! This is the power of Strength. People with progressed diabetes need to find a different way, but I believe that there is a way to jumpstart those insulin pumpers, and most of it I believe requires proper diet and excercise.
As for our health system, if our doctors really wanted us to be happy, they would push for legislation to outlaw grain fed cattle, because their meat is too fatty and is carcenogenic when cooked. Vaccines would dissappear and doctors would push people to live more sanitarily. Instead of trying to CURE death, doctors would teach people how to live happier while we are still alive.

Oh and one more thing, when I weighed myself last night on Day #1 I was 146.8. I won’t be able to really weigh myself until Monday when I get back to my scale, but hoping for 144.
