   Today is the day, I hvent drank any lemonade yet, i am presently drinking some favored tea..not sure if i should, can someone let me know if this is a good idea…i will start the lemonade around lunch time or when I get hungry. Much success eveyone!!!

2. ann on March 28, 2007 8:19 am

   Welcome, I am into my fourth day and loving every minute of it!!! Mostly because when I weighed myself this morning I had lost 9 pounds!!!
   I do not feel hungry or tired…..but I am becoming sick of the laxative tea….YUCK…..

3. Debra on March 28, 2007 8:21 am

   Best of luck to you Raylen. I will be checking in to see your progress and comments. I plan to start on Monday April 2. I’m still trying to mentally prepare myself!

4. Joyce on March 28, 2007 8:21 am

   Just started this morning……….I’m determined to complete it. I have done it before and by day 4 I had so much energy…..I cleaned everything in my house……twice!! For people that haven’t done it before they can experience some discomfort and I know that is all normal.
   I had heavy metal and chemical poisioning from being a silversmith for 17 years and nearly died from that………all of my Internal organs began to shut down and I was in an acute situation………I had been on an intense Detox for 2 years prior to finding the Master Cleanse. This was the final step to my recovery and the thing that finally healed my insides. If I had known this earlier we probably could have detoxed me in half the time. In the final stages my internal organs were all in bad shape….even after the detox and this healed them……….I’m alive!!
   I will do the Master Cleanse all my life.

5. Joyce on March 28, 2007 8:26 am

   Tina there is a definate format for this cleanse.Please don’t drink the flavored tea (you can get an herbal tea, ginger or a fasting tea) and Please don’t wait until you get hungry. You need to start the lemonade to keep your system moving…..this is not a starvation diet……….drink lots of water and drink the lemonade.

   I did the mastercleanse on two different occasions and the first time I lost 17 pounds and this far I have kept 6 lbs off since January 07. I tried it again and lost 5 lbs and gain those back very quickly. I have come to the conclusion that Exercise is the key to weight loss along with changing how you eat. The mastercleanse was great, I felt good and just knowing that I could stick to something so strick for 10 days was the most rewarding thing that I have ever accomplished.
   I feel healthy and energized and my skin is soft and clear and my hair is vibrant and stronger than in the past. I am walking 3 1/2 miles a day now and that boost is just what I needed. I will do the mastercleanse again in a couple months or so. I would definately recommend it to anyone and I have.

   Thanks for the support!

   Thanks for doing this. I need some support - the only one I have to talk to is my husband and he thinks I’m crazy and getting ready to joing some cult! I’m on day 2. When do you do your salt water cleanse if not in the morning? And do you do it with the laxative, too? Isn’t that overdoing it?

8. Jenny on March 28, 2007 8:36 am

   Good luck on your cleanse Raylen, hope all goes well. I got your newsletter stating you were starting your cleanse on Wednesday and I had already started on Sunday (3rd time cleansing within the last year). I am on day 4 and feel wonderful, so far no side effects (headaches or hunger pains). I want to cleanse for at least 14 days if not 21.

   Hope your journey goes well. It is nice to know that you are not alone in this and you have someone to turn to for motivation that will not try to tempt you with food because they have never read the book and think you are starving yourself. I feel sorry for them because they are missing out on a wonderful experience.

   I have a helpful hint for anyone who is dreading drinking the concoction. Mix the drink using limes instead of lemons and use cold water instead of warm (it just tastes better). I am doing the cleanse with my boss (8th time on the cleanse)and he tells me he feels like he is cheating because it tastes so good. The book gives you the option to do both but I think most people just hear from other people to use lemons and to drink it warm. Try it, you’ll like it. I always call it my cocktail and it tasted quite yummy.

9. Erin on March 28, 2007 8:56 am

   Good Morning Ya’ll!
   I just finished a glass of the salt water and water, is Kosher salt okay to use does anybody know?
   I feel the need to have more self discipline, and I think this will help.
   This daily log is a great idea! The buddy system works, we can be strong for one another and hearing (a way of chatting), all of us together is a greeat motivation!

   Cheers!

10. Jeanette on March 28, 2007 9:06 am

    Is it okay to include the salt water if you suffer from hypertension?

11. synetra prince on March 28, 2007 9:09 am

    I will be starting the cleanse with you today.
    I think it will be great doing the cleanse with so many.

12. La Vonda on March 28, 2007 9:13 am

    Hello everyone, I received your email regarding starting the master cleanse today. I am heading to the store to get all the ingredients and will start tomorrow. I feel extra bloated and toxic. I did the master cleanse last year and was only challenged with the salt water cleanse. Any recommendations? I joined the gym a couple of weeks ago and my trainer does not recommend that i go on this detox. I feel this will jumpstart my weight loss. What are your thoughts? OK…well wishing you all the best.

13. Kristin on March 28, 2007 9:27 am

    The first time I went through the cleanse, by the third day my teeth felt like they were rough, like sandpaper. Anybody else have that feeling? What do I do about it?

14. Tramaine on March 28, 2007 9:33 am

    Good Morning,
    I drank some Smooth Move last night before going to bed. My stomach is making all kinds of noise this morning. I was thinking about doing the SW flush, but I’ve been to the bathroom 3 times already this morning and that was before I left for work. I’m at work now so i’ll probably wait until I get home this afternoon. SW flush is the worst part. I can do the lemonade and get over not eating, but the SWF makes me want to say forget it!LOL
    I’ve been drinking water, but no lemonade yet.
    Tmaine

15. Jenny on March 28, 2007 9:41 am

    Kristin,

    I drink through a straw so it bypasses your teeth. I have issues where my teeth get sensitive and break due to the citric acid in the limes.

16. ivorine on March 28, 2007 9:46 am

    well i decided that i would start with you but i sort of slipped up and took about 4 bites of my daughters sandwich but luckily thats it. i attempted to do the cleanse before but i quit due to the no support system ,maybe this time i will succeed i really want to. i hope that we all make it
    good luck teamies p.s try some senna tea it gets me right in the morning with the BM’s (when taken at night less cramping)

17. Jacinta on March 28, 2007 9:50 am

    I hope everyone does great on this. I will be starting this on monday April 2nd, what would be a great tea to drink on this plan and what is the salt drink? what does that do for you?

18. James & Bebe on March 28, 2007 9:54 am

    My wife & I started the 10 day Cleanse this morning; our first time. We made our individual batches of lemonade, headed to the gym, then on to work. We intend to continue working out at the gym and will report on our energy level, muscle soreness, recovery, etc. We look forward to reading each of your comments each day, so we encourage each of you to stick with the Cleanse and let’s hear from you all. It’s nice to know we’re not in this alone. We can do it!…

19. carol crawford on March 28, 2007 9:55 am

    Hi
    I wanted to start today and I was force to start by getting sick from eating brocoli, I’m just letting my stomach settle before I drink even water, I plan to drink the tea tonight but as far as the day, I will not be eating or drinking anything. I will start the lemonade on tomorrow.

20. taylor on March 28, 2007 9:56 am

    today is my second day on the master’s cleanse only because i don’t work on tuesday and wanted to make sure that if any complications came up i would have the freedom to rest. so raylen i wish you the best of luck. this is my second time doing this.And totally changed my life the first time so i’m doing it again. it’s weird because only running in to my second day i feel clearer

21. Rick on March 28, 2007 9:59 am

    Raylen,
    Great timing! I have been thinking about it for awhile, but after reading all the comments, I am ready. I started this morning with the sea salt. I do not like setting aside 2-3 hrs to complete this unpleasant process. (I drank 16 ounces of water with two tablespoons of the salt.) Other than that it is going great. Any suggestions on how to shorten the sea salt activity.
    Thanks, Rick

22. Melissa on March 28, 2007 10:18 am

    Hi Raylen,
    I started the cleanse this morning. I hope I can make it thru the whole day, I’m always starving around 3pm or 4pm. I have done the cleanse before, so if I really put my mind to it and continue reading everyones comments, hopefully I will make it thru the next few days.
    Talk to everyone later:)
    Have fun with it!!

23. Rose on March 28, 2007 11:01 am

    I have decided to join you,I have had two glasses of the majical elixer so far today and need to do some tea and the salt water soon, I too don’t like to do it first thing in the a.m. Thanks for the inspiration by doing this as a group my last several cleanses have been lonely.This is going to be GREAT !!!

24. Jasmine on March 28, 2007 11:03 am

    This is great. I got up this morning and just felt so bloated. I said I have to do something. I am currently at work and went to get some lunch. I was thinking of having some french fries and a burger, and opted for a salad instead. But I came back to my desk and found out that you were starting this cleanse. It really hit home. I went on the cleanse in December and lasted four days. I felt great, but was disappointed that I didn’t make it to the full 10 days. I tried to go back on it a couple of weeks ago, but wasn’t fully prepared (didn’t list my reasons or goals). I am psyched and ready to start on Monday with a bunch of others that I read were going on it. I am off Tuesday and Wednesday, and this will fall perfectly into my schedule. I am also quite lethargic and haven’t even had the energy to go to the gym. I wish everyone luck and will be writing in as well to let you know how I am doing. Keep your fingers crossed that I make it 10 days. I am really putting that limit.

25. Louisa Schrieder on March 28, 2007 11:04 am

    Today is Day 1 and so far I am doing Ok. I did not do the salt water either as I fear fluid retention d\t the salt.
    I did drink a laxative tea last eve. an so far I am on my third glass of lemonade.
    I do have a slight headache however I have had that for 2 days now which is what inspired me to do the cleanse again.
    I have a severe sweet tooth and as of late I have been indulging too much. i did this cleanse back in Sept 2006 and lasted 10 days. This time I hope to go for longer.

26. Louisa on March 28, 2007 11:13 am

    Can you use limes one day and lemoms the next or do you have to stick to lemons once you have begun with them.

27. Avella on March 28, 2007 11:24 am

    I was not ready for Wednesday so I will start on Thursday .

28. Lorraine on March 28, 2007 11:27 am

    Oh Raylen sorry good luck

29. kellly on March 28, 2007 11:29 am

    Louisa, there is no fear of water retention with the salt–you will lose more water than you thought you had in you. The whole point is that the body cannot absorb it, so it sends it on through in no uncertain terms.
    Also, the lemon/lime question, you can use either or throughout the cleanse. Good luck. I am almost through the salt water process and am so grateful for the luxury of being home today. I drank the salt water at about 8:30 and now, three hours later, I have finally stopped running to the bathroom every few minutes or so. This is the worst part for me, and the last time I did the cleanse, I only could handle this part of it 2 times. It’s very humbling…good luck

30. Carol on March 28, 2007 11:40 am

    Good Morning Everyone and Good Luck!
    Much success to you all. I am just trying to get through the salt water. The good thing is that I do enjoy drinking the lemonade drink.

31. Jill on March 28, 2007 11:53 am

    Good luck to all you first day starters. I just found out about the group fast yesterday and wasn’t mentally prepared, nor had I gone grocery shopping yet. I have a huge coffee addiction and fear the withdrawl symptoms! I am starting tomorrow. I did the cleanse once before, and like a lot of people, could only make it through day 4. I am 5′9″ and weigh 135 so to make it 10 days might be taxing on my body. (Just a belief I am sure).
    A note about the salt water drink… Everyone’s body types are different and “one dose fits all” isn’t always prudent. Play around with the amount of salt you use. You would be surprised how little it takes to get things moving.
    Drinking juice and just had an egg salad sandwich for lunch–maybe some broth tonight.
    CHEERS TO ALL

32. Keisha on March 28, 2007 12:26 pm

    Do you prefer to do the salt water cleanse in the evenings when you get home?

33. Lauren on March 28, 2007 12:44 pm

    Hello, I am having a great day as well….I have had trouble with the salt water…..It was only productive once, several times nothing happened. My last 2 cleanses I only used herbal lax tea….any comments on this….I also have used enemas.

34. Lenora on March 28, 2007 12:59 pm

    I too am joining the team. I have been so sick for so long that I am at the end of the rope! All the doctor’s want to do is treat the symptoms. I want to eliminate the source which they can not seem to find! Once before I tried this but could not make it on my own. Had no support. Thanx for including us Raylen! I am looking forward to feeling better. So sick of feeling sick!

35. Lisa on March 28, 2007 1:33 pm

    I started the cleanse with all ya’ll this morning. Had my first shot of wheat grass and it was not too bad, a little grassy. The lemonade is not tasting great to me so I might try the lime idea. I am planning on doing this for 10 days with 5 afterward to get my body functioning properly. Look forward to feeling great and maybe losing a pound or two!

36. SUNNIE on March 28, 2007 1:38 pm

    i started the clense a couple times in the last few monts only to fail due to a really bad head ache, any one have any suggestions other than taking more poisions to stop that from happining..im sure its just with draws and toxins …i started today on the cleanse again and im gona make it this time , im 5ft 2 and im 136lb this morning at work , i really need to slim down and detox , my goal is 10 lb in 10 days so im excited about making it to the end..GOD BLESS AND BEST WISHES…SUNNIE

37. Yvonne on March 28, 2007 1:43 pm

    Although I’m not hungry, I have a terrible headache. I’m also feeling a little woozy. Since I’ve never Master Cleanses before I figure this is normal. I’m hoping this goes away by Day 2. I’m still hanging in there.

38. Kim W on March 28, 2007 1:51 pm

    Hi everyone, It’s 3:30 here in Georogia and I’m on my fourth glass of the lemonade. This has been one of the hardest things I ever did. All I have been thinking about is food. I walk past the kitchen and thought about grabbing a little something to eat. Then I thought let me go to the journal and write how I feel and look at other comments and maybe that will help me through this first day. So here I am and I didn’t cheat. These comments and everyone supporting each other really helps so everyone keep the comments coming and good luck to us all.

39. Martha on March 28, 2007 1:55 pm

    Amazing! I began the cleanse on my own today, and then heard from a friend in Maine about this blog. I love it, how things appear when we need them. I’m in Colorado and have done this cleanse many times. My advice: take some time for yourself to BE, and not be so busy the whole time. It is a very special time. Happy cleansing!

40. CLAUDIA ALCANTARA on March 28, 2007 1:56 pm

    Hi, Actually I started the cleanse on Monday but at night I have been eating a little something. Maybe a salad or a piece of chicken. Today, I will try to follow the diet, strictly. I can’t deal with the salt water, maybe the tea at night…I’ll keep you updated.

41. Shiniqua on March 28, 2007 1:59 pm

    I just got your email today, so I will be a day behind everyone else. I am going to go to the market on my lunch hour to get the remainder of the ingredients I will need. I also need to re-read the tea laxative and salt water requirements before I begin. I don’t know if it is a coincidence, but tomorrow will be exactily 10 days before Easter. This will give me the opportunity to cleanse myself physically and spiritually and reflect on the sacrifice the Lord made for me.

    Good luck and God bless to everyone

42. brigette on March 28, 2007 2:00 pm

    I regret that I just read my email. I ished I would have known that everyone was starting today because my actual start day is Thursday 3-29-07 and i woulld’ve start with you all. I’ll be a day behind but we will all go through the same trials together. I haven’t did the cleanser since Dec. 2000. I know it will be hard but now that I am turning 30 next week I think it is time to live a more healthy lifestyle. Good Luck! I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

43. Ma on March 28, 2007 2:14 pm

    I’ve started the master cleanse today it is 4:15est I have a dull headache I am glad I am doing this. I have been tired and sluggish, so wanted to do this as well as get some direction from the Lord on a specfic situation.

44. mana on March 28, 2007 2:22 pm

    I started the master cleanse yesterday. I’m not at all hungry but I’m having the worse headaches! Is this normal?

45. CLAUDIA ALCANTARA on March 28, 2007 2:22 pm

    HEY EVERYONE! SOMEBODY AT WORK JUST TOLD ME THAT I CAN EAT SOME ALMONDS WITH THIS DIET, IS THAT TRUE? ALSO, I WANTED TO ASK YOU RAYLEN IF YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS DIET THE WHOLE TEN DAYS WITHOUT EATING? PLEASE LET ME KNOW…IF THAT’S THE CASE, I THINK I CAN DO IT. JUST KNOWING THAT ALL THIS WONDERFUL PEOPLE ARE ALSO DOING THE DIET EXCITES ME AND MAKES ME WANT TO DO IT EVEN MORE! GOOD LUCK TO YOU RAYLEN AND EVERYONE ELSE!!!!:)

46. Sharon on March 28, 2007 2:49 pm

    Success to you and all the other attempting the cleanse. I will be checking in everyday to see how you are progressing. Hopefully this would prepare me mentally for the start of my cleanse.

47. bostonchik on March 28, 2007 4:29 pm

    oh yea’ question……i work from 8-4:30 how big of a problem is this going to be? anyone doing this & working outside they’re home?

48. chris on March 28, 2007 4:35 pm

    Hi Good health everybody. By coincidence I also started the cleanse today and was happy to find out this morning about this blog while reading my emails It is 6:30pm and all is good 4 glass of lemonaid to go and a tea.

49. leticia on March 28, 2007 4:37 pm

    I have tried this cleanse twice not being able to get through day 2…Please help me and tell me what I need to do to complete this!!! I always thought I was very disciplined in my eating but this cleanse always gets the best of me…

50. Diane on March 28, 2007 4:44 pm

    Hi Raylen:
    Thank you for your email. I just read it today. I think I will start the program tomorrow - I work late tonight but believe I have all the ingridents that I need. It will help having someone to communicate with over the next 10 days - thanks for sharing with us.
    Stay strong -

    Diane

51. Barbara on March 28, 2007 5:00 pm

    Hi Raylen-
    I did the fast before and lost weight and kept it off. Now i’m going for the last 7 pounds…..I’ve tried to start for the past few days, but by dinner time, I am too weak and insanely hungry to continue. But I did start again today, and have gone through several hunger pains and temptations. so far so good. It’s 4:00 in CA. And I have already drunk about 48 oz. of the cleanse mix. I am saving one for dinner….You had said that there might be something
    you could eat while cleansing. I was thinking about making my own vegetable juice in the juicer- (kale, celery, carrot) what do you think of that idea?
    Hanging in there,
    Barbara

52. Shayla on March 28, 2007 5:10 pm

    Which comes first salt water cleanse,or lemon juice? ,and whats the typically day like for cleanses?

53. Daryl on March 28, 2007 5:13 pm

    Raylen,
    Thank you so much for your newsletter! I started The MC last Monday 3/19 but didn’t make it past Wednesday. So I’ve started today with you and everyone else and I know together I’ll hang in there with all of you through the ten days. I walked into my house and the old habit of hitting the fridge was on my mind, instead I opened your website and found the strength to carry on! I’m headed out the door now to get some tea. Hang in there everyone!

54. Sasha on March 28, 2007 7:51 pm

    First day today,I feel great. Any tips would be great, thanks
    Sasha

55. Doug on March 28, 2007 8:55 pm

    I started it Monday and so far so good. I have dropped about 3 lbs and havent been hungry at all. I am using bottled lemon juice at first , is that a sin ? I am going to go for 15 days and see what happens. So far so good.

56. Ara on March 28, 2007 9:05 pm

    I want all of you to know that this is a great idea. Having a support group is the best. It’s a great feeling to know that you are not the only one in the world doing it. I’m not doing the MC this time, because I just did it two weeks ago. But, I want to confess that knowing that so many of you are doing it, I feel like doing it again!!:)…
    Ya’ll have my support!!….. YOU CAN DO IT:)!!
    Ara

57. tamara on March 28, 2007 10:28 pm

    thanks raylen for this support system!! i totally lack that! if it wasn’t for feeling weak and having this information to fall back on, i would have cheated today!! i have no ill power and that is my main goal! COMPLETE 10 DAYS! FINISH SOMETHING I STARTED!. reading others situations to this experience, i also noticed several interesting questions, will the rest of us be ablr to share in the answers you provide? for example, can you mix the tea you ere talking about this morning witht he lemonade to create a new flavor? i also want to mention, in the past when i have done the diet, sometime i would have my lemonade hot. it seem to help the hunger pangs at times. the support from this site has truly pulled me through day 1.
    Thanks again!!

58. Amber on March 29, 2007 7:38 am

    Hi there,
    Okay so I planned on easing myself into this, and it really worked! I was not hungry all day untill dinner. Then it was hard. but I had a samll sandwich and I feel great.

59. Tina on March 29, 2007 12:56 pm

    Thanks Joyce, I wasnt starving myself I was just pacing myself…I wasnt sure if we were to drink only when we usual would eat something or just drink all day. Can you over drink, like drink to much for a day?…maybe that is why i wasnt losing any weight b4, I wasnt drinking enough? Thanks again for your input…

60. Sharon on March 29, 2007 2:18 pm

    I had already started the cleanse on Monday before I got your email so today is my 4th day on it. I did the cleanse a year ago and stayed on it for the full 10 days and lost 20 pounds. It is definitely worth staying on for the full 10 days - you not only get a good cleanse but you lose weight and your skin looks so much better! I have been on and off it throughout the year and was not able to do the full 10 days but this time I am going to do it. It’s funny…everytime I start the cleanse we get a lot of food brought in at work! I’m not eating any though and for some reason, I’m not even desiring it. I was cramping a lot on day two and some on day three but now I’m fine. You just have to hang in there. Knowing that others are on here doing the cleanse also will definitely help me to stay on it. Thanks for doing this!

61. Deneen on March 29, 2007 6:14 pm

    Well today was my day one and I am not hungry. I did this cleanse last September/October for 11 days. I lost 15 pounds that time and didn’t gain any back. My skin was glowing and I just felt better all together. I couldn’t believe I actually completed it. But I did! 11 whole days of it! Now I am trying to do it again. However, I don’t have the same motivation I had the last time. So I was hoping that this forum would help keep me motivated. And I am not even attempting the salt water flush this time. I felt like vomitting and sometimes I did the last time. If I make it to Monday then perhaps then I will try to do the salt water flush. Maybe by then I will be able to tolerate the SWF. I worked out for an hour this morning so I am starting to feel like I need a little rest. So I am laying in bed with my laptop now. Today I had to deal with the folks in my office trying to convince me again that this is not healthy for my body. Even after I tried to explain why “I” do it. They still pretty much said I was crazy. Oh well. I am still going to try and finish this cleanse. I want to say ten days. But that number is too intimidating right now. So for now I will just take it one day at a time. It’s much easier to digest day by day for me. Good luck to you all. Happy Cleansing!!!!

62. Sarah on April 2, 2007 8:38 am

    Hey!

    I have a quick question. I started doing this cleanse on saturday the 31st but i had to deviate a little from the recipe and wanted to see if thats ok.

    1. I am using lemon juice unconcentrated. its the kind you might put when cooking, is that ok?

    2. the water i get is from the fridge, which is filtered but i dont know how much.

    3. i cant do the salt water thing, so i went to the grocery store and got a laxative powder that you put in your water. I don’t think its herbal tea but will it be ok?

    I am doing this to clean out my system but to also loose weight. I have done a water only fast but this seems to be better on my body. Thanks for the help!

63. lkibler on April 2, 2007 1:09 pm

    Got the Hoodia per Raylen’s recommendation. I’ll keep you all posted as to how it works.

64. wanda on May 27, 2007 2:58 pm

    5.27.07

    Hey…

    Can anyone advise me? I’m just beginning the “Master Cleanse” today. I know that I can drink decaffeinated tea but is it okay to use honey? Please advice this new comer who really wants to stick this out for the next nine days.

    Thank you.

65. Yuliya on October 5, 2007 3:51 pm

    Did I start at a bad time? Doesn’t look like any of you are doing the Cleanse right now. I don’t think that anyone will mind; I will submit my comments anyway. This will help me and maybe encourage others.

    Today is Day 1 for me and I am doing very good. I’ve been up since 7am and it’s almost 6pm now. I haven’t had anything but plain water, lemonade and the salt mix. I didn’t think today would be too hard, and I was right. Yes, of course, there are temptations and I can’t help but notice them, but I am nowhere near giving in.

    Unfortunately, my friend, who was suppose to be in on this with me, gave up on it already. She said the lemonade makes her want to throw up. But I was able to convince my brother to join me in this mission. We’ll see how that goes. I do need a buddy in this though. I think it’ll be much harder without that extra motivation.

    As far as how I feel, I am a just a little lightheaded and weak. My psychological health is in good shape though. I am not down or irritable. In fact, I am feeling good, I feel motivated and determined. I trust that this is going to work.

    HI Guys starting my lemonade diet with my daughter today.It’sood to have the company as it helps better when there are two doing it as you can encourage each other and boost each other not to give up. Did try the lemonade diet 20 years ago when i was in my twenties.I laasated the ten days for the first I tried and second time lasted only five days. I hope this time that I have someone to do it with me will help me along. I am doing it for the health benefits and also for losing a few killos. I have never tired the limes though or had it cold, but will try now to have it cold and with limes instead of lemons. Wish me luck guys
