-Day 21
Symptoms: Headache, sore skin, acne looking worse, bad breath & body odor.
I can't figure out why I'm still smelling so bad when I haven't been eating anything
offensive. It must be die-off, but I can't stand it.
Improvements: I think I'm getting mucoid plaque. It's coming out in 3 or so inch swirls that are dark brown and they don't sink right to the bottom of the toilet. In either case, I've gotten this two days in a row. This also may be the case for my body smelling so badly. As far as the FAQ stating that toxic removal is complete by the last stage and bodily repair is at it's strongest--I still think I'm doing a lot of toxic removal. But considering I've got food allergies to almost every food out there, it doesn't really surprise me. On the good side, I'm a small woman and hopefully that will be a factor in moving my healing process along faster.
-Day 22
Symptoms: I still stink a little, but people are sniffing me less than they did yesterday and last week. I'm also still getting mucous, but there's a little less every day. Plus the itching...I'm getting less of that too. It's almost as if I'm not getting waves of die off, but die-off that lasts days or weeks & slowly fades.
Improvements: My skin looks a little bit better and my intestines & colon feel lighter. I've read many posts about people who experienced that after liver flushes and such, but I never did. Now I do. I feel generally better today. Last night I was so upset, I was crying because my body odor has been so offensive and I have to go to work whether I stink or not. Today I just felt pretty good and hoped I didn't smell as much. I try hard to stay away from others and I sure do miss my sun chlorella a. It helped control my body odor.
My cravings for Kentucky Fried Chicken, Weinershnitzel drowned in ranch dressing and Pizza Hut have lessened. Now I'm thinking a lot about finding recipes I can eat and I bought some recipe books that claim to be gluten, wheat, dairy and meat free. Sounds limiting, doesn't it? That's life for me, but I'm willing to live with it and I'm hoping this cleanse will help me add on a few things back to my menu. = ) Like rice, cheese, etc...I will always miss those foods.
-Day 23
Symptoms: My asthma is back & I've developed new acne starting from my chin that runs all the way up to my right ear. It's a rash of acne. The left side of my face has some, but looks great compared to the right side. I also started getting a canker sore on the tip of my tongue today. My breath is also terrible and my body still smells bad, which has been happening for a couple weeks straight now. That's never gone away since I started. 14 days of the same die-off symptoms seems excessive. I'm hoping for some big pay-offs after this cleanse.
Improvements: The skin on my hands looks softer and hydrated compared to the last couple weeks. The cracks on them are healing and they no longer itch. My weight is still balancing between 85-86 lbs. I feel more alert and relaxed again. I also went to the bathroom and the stool wasn't totally foul like it has been during my cleanse. Before, it would burn as it exited my body..It even burned as soon as it reached my bowels before I even had the chance to go. Today I felt a little stinging, but it's getting a lot better. I love going to the bathroom during the cleanse because I know I'm flushing my health problems down the toilet.
-Day 24
Symptoms: bad breath, body ordor, acne..the usual suspects. I woke up with a bad sore throat this morning and it's almost gone after a few hours.
Improvements: The skin on my hands looks even better today than yesterday. I feel alert and good today. My body was itching bad for a while all over my body, especially where my psoriasis was. It has been itching less & less. Today it doesn't itch at all. It's turning out to be a pretty good cleanse day, especially since I don't have to go to work and endure everyone sniffing my odor.
-Day 25
Symptoms: Just like usual--bad breath, body odor and my acne is getting worse. I have this nasty acne rash all across my forhead. I also had a dizzy spell earlier today, which I've read is normal on a fast. My tongue is coated more than usual too. I also wanted to mention I put coconut oil in my hair last night before bed and got a real headache! And today my head smells like toxins! It's helping the master cleanse a lot! Maybe I should put it all over my body tonight. There's a couple of symptoms that are welcome because I know they're doing a lot of good.
Improvements: I'm not getting as much mucous so my lymphatic system must be healing, but the symptom is still there. When it started, it was like there was a constant thick mucous ooozing down my throat. Now it feels like I'm getting about a drop or so of it at a time every few minutes. Other than the symptoms, I feel really great...So good that if I get rid of my lingering health problems, I would be satisfied to keep this state of mind and energy level for good = )
Additional note: I believe that doing liver flushes will get rid of symptoms, such as food sensitivities and body odor, but how can that happen if the body is still toxic otherwise? There may not be any stones in there, but the liver is still too overloaded trying to control the dire condition the body is in. I think that is why my food/chemical sensitivites didn't go away after I cleaned out all my stones. Now maybe they'll go away. In any case, I will be doing a liver flush two or three weeks after my master cleanse ends. If any of you have gotten rid of or lessened food sensitivites through cleansing, please e-mail me or respond to my BLOG and tell me about it.
Last year, my new years resolution was to get healthy once and for all after years of going on all the wrong health programs that didn't help at all. This master cleanse is giving me hope that I will make it.
-Day 26
Symptoms: Body odor is worse today and it feels like I have a hundred little acne bumps on my forhead. Some of the itching is coming back.
Improvements: I feel alert again today just like yesterday. I don't need as much sleep. Not much else to report.
-Day 27
Symptoms: My geographic tongue came back. It was a symptom I've been no longer getting for quite a while, but it's not a bad case. There are only three spots on
the right side of my tongue. My skin also started itching worse. The body odor doesn't seem as bad. I can't smell it myself, so I use the people at work as smell-o-meters. The more sniffs I get, the more I know I stink. lol. That's why I'm so happy on the weekend because can almost convince myself that I'm getting better. Then I go into work Monday and someone sniffs me as soon as I walk in the door. Bummer.
Improvements: The acne is getting a little better, but that isn't saying much considering my forhead is still covered in acne. The skin on my hands looks a little better.
-Day 28
Symptoms: I stunk SO bad I was turning heads and people who are usually trying to be polite couldn't resist giving me a sniff. It's driving me crazy that it is getting worse and not going away. Maybe it's because I'm not getting any zinc or something, but other people on the MC don't get any either and they don't smell like a dead animal on day 28. What is worse is that I don't know who to ask who might have a knowledgeable answer for me. I will try the B.O. forum and see if a seasoned MC'er goes in there. Need I mention the bad breath? = ) My geographic tongue is getting worse, but I suspected it to get worse before it gets better.
Improvements: My tongue is not getting as much toxins on it creating a film and my acne is getting better. I hope that is a sign that my odor will go away too. I'm only getting a little bit of mucous and hardly even notice it now to even mention it. My lips also aren't peeling as much, which I know to be a sign of good intestinal and stomach health. I'm going to try and focus on these wonderful improvements and look at the symptoms as my body healing, but the humiliation that comes with some of the die-off is maddening.
-Day 29
Symptoms: I woke up and my left eye started watering and I couldn't get it to stop. Then I went back to bed and woke up hours later with a sinus cold..migraine, congestion and feeling dizzy and weak. I had a hard time sitting through work like that, but I knew the cold was coming because I paid special attention to postings by people who have done long-term master cleanses and it seems to happen to them too...between day 23 & 29. I'm starting to feel a little better, but my migraine is still bothering me and my eyes feel a little swollen from my sinuses being congested. I also got a very strong asprin taste in my mouth...I drank 3 16 oz bottles of water, one right after another to get rid of the taste and it was still there a little, but the water helped a great deal. I'm pretty sure it was my nemesis, Depo-provera being dragged out of the depths of my body. I still have geographic tongue and it stings a little to drink the lemonade.
Improvements: I think I stunk a little less today...my stinko-meters at work weren't sniffing as much, but there were a lot of people that turned to look at me as I walked by....I don't know if that makes it better or worse? My skin is looking better. The acne is still there, but atleast I can put cover-up on my forhead so people can't see most of the redness. The film on my tongue doesn't seem as bad, but I'm getting a lot of little plaque balls building up. That's strange since the coated tongue was worse before, but at that time I didn't have any plaque balls.
-Day 30
Symptoms: Well, I'm still creating a nuclear meltdown whenever I walk past my fellow co-workers. Maybe it's not a symptom, but my body not tolerating the lemons? This odor has just gone on too long for me to think it's a deeply rooted illness that my body is curing and creating a healing crisis. And the bad breath doesn't go away either. I'm lost as to why I still have this...And my tongue is still coated. Hmmmm.
Improvements: The sinus cold I got on day 29 is better, but I still woke up with a terrible migraine that went from the top of my head right down my face. Everyone at work was asking me if I was okay because I had this mad look. Now I'm feeling better. The appearance of my skin is improving every day and I'm feeling pretty fine until my odor humiliates me. That's why the weekends rule. I get to stay home where everybody loves me and doesn't notice my smell = ) I can only hope my body odor will improve by Monday. Andreas says liver flushing gets rid of body odor, so maybe I'll just have to start depending on that to cure my b.o. and not the MC. All I want to do right now is quit the MC and start flushing my liver instead, but I know I can't just go back to days 31-40. If I quit, I have to do the first 30 days again to get that far. I know I'd be letting myself down and I wouldn't forgive myself for quitting, so I'm staying on.
Remember the old Dr. Pepper commercial? I've changed it and I sing and dance to it as I go around the house..Here it is:
I'm a stinker, he's a stinker, she's a stinker.
Wouldn't you like to be a stinker too?
Be a stinker...Be a little stinker.
Is that funny or what? = ) If we can't beat it, lets embrace it.
TO BE CONTINUED AS THE DAYS PROGRESS....

hello Lovey... i found your blog today when i was doing research on 'cold symptoms" and "liver flush" on curezone... i did my 8th liver flush yesterday which was wildly successful in terms of getting the stones out, but now i feel all "raw" aroundn the general area of my nose, throat, chest... not exactly pain, but just this sense of rawness like i'm coming down with a cold or something... and feeilng tired and fatigued... so i was wondering if this could be a detox symptom... anyway :-( i'm hoping it owuld go away soon.. have u ever had anythig like it? :( !! it's a little bit different from getting a sore throat...... it's more like getting a RAW throat... :( !!
so i found your blog and it was fascinating because i've also done the mastercleanse -- although not for as long as u plan to be doing (i stopped at 22 days cos i suddenly got too hungry ) and i'm also rather underweight, though not as much as you - my normal weight is 100 and then i got severely sick a year ago and went down to 95 -- i drank as much lemonade as possible during the master cleanse not to lose more weight and even put extra maple syrup in the lemonade and sometimes ate the maple syrup straight out... :p
anyway i was stillhovering around 91pounds or so after 22 days and i got hungry so i quit p:p:p !!
reading your account now, i wish i had stuck with my mastercleanse too... cos my goal was also 40 days !!
i found tons of things i oculd totally empathize with, in yoru blog... like how you used to look young for your age until you got sick :( same with me.. i mean i looked way younger than i actually was for a long time, then the illness struck and suddenly my eyes are sunken in etc. :_(
i wish you a lot of luck with your 40 day quest... i really admire your spirit and your determination :> !!! perhaps next time u do the master cleanse we can do it together... keep each other's moral up whatnot....
today i'm feeling a bit miserable because after having gotten really sick about a year ago, i was finally climbing my way back to health bit by bit feeling pretty good the last few months or so, and boom now i 'm feeling lousy again with this rawness in the throat and little strength... :-( did an enema this morning which helped a bit... now taking in nothing but hot tea and freshly squeezed oj... possibly thinking of doing a 3 day oj fast ... what do u think...? :o !!

wittlewabbitte,
I remember you = ) ...I was reading one of your responses to someone concerning cleansing and losing weight..You mentioned something about people always saying you'd gain weight & it never happened...The same exact thing happened to me. It was so close to what I've been through, I could have written the post myself. I wanted to respond too, but it was an old post. So it's nice to hear from someone who not only does the same cleanses and has health issues, but who understands how being underweight factors in when it comes to cleansing and eating healthy.
It sounds like an excellent idea to do a master cleanse together. I plan to do 3-4 per year...I was thinking 3 10-16 day cleanses and another 40, but I'm flexible...lol. I really wanted someone to do this one with, but started on a Thursday since I was too impatient to wait for the weekend crowd :) 22 days is still awesome. I'm just finishing my 22nd day and I think it would be a successful cleanse if this were my last day. What kind of changes did you see in your health after your cleanse?
As far as feeling sick after a flush, I have an idea why that could have happened. When your liver releases stones, they are toxic. They contain mercury, old medications, bad chemicals you've inhaled or touched, etc., throughout your whole life that found their way to your liver to keep your body clean. Once they are released into your digestive system, they can wreak havok on your body...Even if you are following the cleanse proceedure like a freak.
You said you got a really good flush and I think that's why you're feeling so sick. Many toxins ran through your body and got through your intestinal and colon walls and back into your bloodstream. Since your body is already in a weakened state from bad health and forcing your galbladder to contract so strongly, the toxins just create more stress for your body and it spends it's time trying not to get worse before it can begin to get better. The toxins weaken your immune system, and essentally every part of your body right down to your cells. I'm not sure if it's mimicking a cold or that you have caught a cold because your body is distressed. That's the downside of having a great flush containing a lot of stones.
How did you get sick a year ago?
I don't think you can stop the symptoms completely after a powerful flush, but your best defense against it would be to do a colonic/colemena or enema at the least, which you said you did. If the enema helped, there might be more in there. You might want to try another 4-6 ounces of an epson salt drink to wash out something that quite possibly might be trapped deeper inside you. It's better to do colenemas before every flush to make sure the coast is clear for the stones to rush through the intestines and colon to be released when the epson salt comes through. The last thing you want is for your epson salt & stones to run into a barracade where the stones cannot get through, but the epson salt is able to seap(sp?) past, leaving the stones trapped there to damage your body. Also, you should do another after the flush to get out any left over stones. As you do more cleanses, you won't feel sick afterwards, only better.
One time I did a cleanse and I thought I got almost nothing. I was so dissapointed, but I did a colonic and got tons of quarter size stones out. I was utterly shocked that they were just sitting in there jammed up and couldn't get out.
One more thing, if you have trouble drinking the olive oil and it sorta goes up your nasal passage as you drink, it can irritate your sinuses. That's happened to me before when I tried to hurry up and gulp it down. I'm not sure if that's it, but it might be...but the fatigue are the toxins that are left in your digestive system and a weakened state from putting your body through a stressful cleanse. I hope some of the things I've said helped a somewhat.

If you are little like I am, you might want to try getting a good liquid vitamin & mineral supplement that you pour into your drinks if you're doing a long MC. Pills will break your fast, but liquid vitamins will help keep you from vitamin & mineral deficiency during your extended MC. Good luck. HUGS :)

Hi Lovely,
I know you wrote this ages ago, but I have been scouring the net and you seem to be the only person who is writing about a similar experience.
I just finished the master cleanse and on day 7 I broke out in a horrible acne rash. Some places are saying its due to the maple syrup. It causes candida and the result is this acne. I am done with the cleanse and now am onto the oranje juice portion of the diet and am taking GSE as directed with candida issues, but I want to know if yours cleared up, and how long it took.
My rash is really like tiny itchy and dry pimples all over the right side of my face, even under my eyes and other usually clear places. I look a mess.

You were experiencing some searious die off. You could work out every day and burn 200 calories for each workout, but also burn another 200 calories a day just digesting food. It takes a lot of energy for your body to do that. So when you fast, your body no longer has to use that energy to digest. So it starts getting rid of the old toxins as fast as it can. One of the fastest ways to get rid of it is through your skin, which creates acne. It's die off and even though it's a very unpleasant thing to go through, you can be sure that the fast you did helped.
