Is it ok to have ANY food - a cracker, something very small or does this entirely eliminate the purpose of the cleanse?

You can have all the food you like.
Doing so, however, means you aren't doing the cleanse.
You can try to muddle your way through it, do it half-way, whatever. The results you get out of it will be directly in proportion to the extent that you follow it exactly as written.
It's all your responsibility -- so you bear the blame if it succeeds or if it fails.
If it's too much to endure, then break the fast. The first time I did the MC, the first four days I tried it, I had dinner those nights. The hunger pangs were overwhelming (or so they seemed). For that matter, the first two days, I had such terrible migraines that I also took pain relievers. Finally, on the fifth day, a Friday, I made it through the whole day and night and woke up the next morning happy that I'd finally made it.
But I didn't kid myself. That Friday was really just Day 1, not Day 5. It took me four days of almost doing it before I worked up to actually doing it. Had I been stronger, I would have been four days ahead.
