hello- i am on day 11 of what i hope will be a 30-40 day m.c. i have done the fast 10 times or so from 11 days to maybe 32 or 33-can't remember exactly. this is the first time i have had so much lightheadedness, dizziness and weakness. do you all think i should add more maple syrup? drink more lemonade? water? i am doing everything the way i always have-12 to 14 glasses a day, lots of water, cayenne under the tongue 3-4 times a day(can't handle it in the drink, period).
i am also working during this one, which i have done before, but i usually am off from work, is one difference/also we are in the midst of a terrible atlanta pollen season may be the other factor
so any advice is appreciated

Hey Gail I feel you on the pollen thing I am am also in ATL and today has been one of the worst days ever, prolly some kinda record high. Even though I'm not fasting the stuff has been murder on me. I was out and about today and my eyes are burning. I came home around 5 just feeling tired and worn out and I laid down and slept from 5 till midnight!! Sooo the pollen could certainly have something to do with how you're feeling.
The cayenne is one of the MOST important elements of the MC that help amp up circulation and cut mucous to aid the system to eliminate toxins. Cayenne is a very potent and amazing cleansing and healing herb. I've heard the MC refered to as a "cayenne delivery system" While you say you are puttin a little under your tongue I can tell you that most experienced MCers put a whole 1/4 tsp in each drink of the hottest cayenne they can find of no less than 90K HU.
On my 1st MC I also thought Fungus!! no way I was gonna be able to do the cayenne for 40 days and that was just 1/10th tsp as per the recipe. Well I just sucked it up and within 3 days I was fine and even gradually started adding more cayenne and in a week or so more I was up to a full 1/4 tsp of the 90K HU stuff no problems whatsoever. You do build up a tolerance quite easily and fast, I promise. The tolerance thing isn't just for me but a very common thing for many that just suck it up and start slowly and gradually adding it to the drink. I highly recommend that you give it a shot and amp up the drink gradually at your own pace. You'll be glad you did.
In the mean time try to stay indoors in places with AC which helps filter out the pollen and drink lots of lemonade and lots of water to keep things moving.

This is a reply to # 1,607,100Hey Rooth I wouldn't try and get a whole days ration in all at once. It can possibly cause you discomfort on an empty fasting system. Just be gentle and just do "some". Tomorrow will be another day.
Most of the temperate regions of the country with pine trees and oaks are having high pollen counts and I have no doubt that that is having an effect on folks. I'm not MCing right now but I was planning on starting maybe this weekend but I'm postponing till this heavy pollen subsides. I haven't left my air conditioned house today cept to go to the mailbox and my car once and my eyes are burning and I'm feeling totally lethargic.

This is a reply to # 1,607,172Pepe,
Thank you for the concern, but you're too late! lol Yeah, it crossed my mind that I can just make up for it the next day but I also thought "what the heck let's do it and see". I've done cayenne shots before, off MC, just to experiment. I'll tell you, cayenne is a bit rough to take in high doses like that but it was interesting.
I'd been feeling hungry and lethargic. After I got home, I was chatting with the neighbor then came inside b/c I wanted to sit. Standing was getting tiring. I threw a 1/4 tsp on my tongue and did a shot of lemonade... then sips of cold water. I also figured you said 1/4 tsp is what folks do in one drink so the amount shouldn't be a problem. Well, the belly feels a bit rough for about 5-10 minutes and I sat... and then, I was feeling good! Not hungry anymore (I expected that) and energy was right back! Waaaay better. I took a long walk with my hubby and the dog, and kept feeling good. Had another shot when I got home "to catch up." I'm thinking I might keep this up here and there to add more cayenne to my day on top of the normal lemonade dose, particularly when I'd like a boost.
I'll throw a quick disclaimer out to folks who might be interested in trying this: from what I've read about people's cleansing reactions and what I see around me, my body is probably in better condition than most folks. It might be harder on others.
Cheers!

This is a reply to # 1,606,836thanks for the reply, i am feeling some better today, i will up the cayenne, i am putting almost 1/4 tsp under the tongue, i will do it more than the 4 times, and see if that helps. one thing i am wondering about-it causes a very foamy rumbly b.m. that i have not had before. does it do that to you? maybe the cayenne will help the allergies too, can't hurt to increase it for sure.
peace
