While the lemon does have some cleansing and alkilinizing effects it is not what makes the MC work is mojo. It is just an alkilizing agent and "aid" in the detox process while the system is in fasting mode. It is highly unlikely that drinking lemon water 2 or 3 times a day will cause on it's own enough detox to the point that you would readily notice or feel the effects.
It is more likely that your pains are more a coincidence or an effect of the totality of any changes you have made recently to diet and lifestyle. There is no "magic" in the "lemon water" and it does not relate to how the MC works as a whole. The bulk of the effects of the MC is from the fasting aspect "aided' by the nutritional/alkilinizing and other "support" provided by the lemon, cayenne and the simple sugar/carbs from the Maple syrup.
I haven't been doing the actual master cleanse but I have been drinking lemon water 2 to 3 times a day. I have noticed my hip is hurting really really bad and back. I am incorparting this into my yeast diet. I just thought it would help the liver out some but I am feeling sick is this from the detox of the lemons.
Whats weird is usually I have a sore left hip but now its my right hip and its so bad I am wobbling after my 3 yr old. Anything I can do to conteract this I am in pain and I need to be functional so I can do the many things I need to get done.
The first thing that comes to mind is kidney stones. This can cause severe hip pain as well as back pain.
He recommends majoram, cat's claw,
If he is passing kidney stones then cat's claw is not a good idea. Cat's claw is high in oxalic acid, which can lead to calcium oxalate kidney stones.
comfrey root
Comfrey root eeds to be dried and aged at least 2 months before internal use to destroy the pyrrolizidine alkaloids that are toxic to the liver.
uva ursi
Uva ursi should not be combined with other herbs as its high tannin content will bind many of the active components in other herbs rendering them useless to the body. This is the most common formulating mistake I see made. In addition uva ursi should not be used longer than 4 days without a break to prevent irritation to the kidneys. It also needs to be taken with a little calcium citrate or baking soda for the 2 hydroquinones generated by uva ursi to function properly.
Personally I think magnesium malate, couchgrass, cornsilk, parsley leaf, green apples or other malic acid source and watermelon are much better choices. Although I do agree with gravel root.
How do you know for sure its a kidney stone and what can you do about it?
Depends in large part on the size. If it was a small one you may already have passed it. Larger stones can be more of a problem and can lead to other problems such as blood in the urine or a lot of foaming of the urine, which is from the excess protein going in the urine. Sudden pain in the kidney region can be a good indicator and the pain cannot be alleviated by changing the position you are sitting or lying in.
If you are still passing anything you can catch the urine in a glass jar and let it sit for about an hour to see if any crystals settle out to the bottom.
My urine is full of white blood cells(from the proteins, i think, since many years ago. Recently i took a urine lab test, and they said i don't have any infection. Afterwards i took a 3D ultrasound, and the result was i have fine sand on both my kidneys. What do you think, the sand explains the large amount of white blood cells in my urine? What else could be the cause? And what herbs with no side effects are good to clean the kidneys? Thank you.
The "sand" can cause damage to the kidneys, which would allow protein in the urine and increase white blood cells.
There are a number of different types of kidney stones such as uric acid stones, oxalate stones, phosphate stones struvite stones. Most though are generally either uric acid or oxalate stones. Nettle leaf and magnesium malate are both great for both types of stones.
Watch your intake of high oxalate foods such as chocolate and spinach. High doses of vitamin C will also raise oxalate levels. Also limit substances that raise uric acid such as alcohols especially beer, proteins and algaes.
