Day 2 of Master-Cleanse here...Im feeling great but nothing really has happened. I was expecting to be rushing to the bathroom a lot BUT NOTHING except cuz of the Smooth Move, Hearbal Laxative Senna Tea.
Ive made SURE that all the ingredients are just RIGHT so it wont mess up, even bought organic lemons. I have no pains, no crazy movements (exept somewhat from the tea), I do feel drained when I wake up so I slept more this morning. Ive even upped the cayenne and it doesnt feel warm anymore whereas the first time I took it I Felt WARM.
Just wondering if this is normal. from what Ive read on the forum ppl Do feel a diff.
Is the Master-Cleanse not working for me?

What the heck are you expecting from just 2 days????? Your system has not even emptied solids from your system yet. It's like you are looking for trouble on purpose!!. Even 10 days is just a minimal MC so don't expect a whole lot. It takes the system around 2 weeks to expel the causative agents and it's after that the cleansing at the cellular level is just beginning. Some folks go though heavy detox others cruise right through it. Relax and just observe. It'll be what it'll be. There is nothing to figure out. Each MC you do in the future will be different. Just know that you are doing yourself a world of good.

This is a reply to # 1,854,399Thanks for your reply Pepe! I guess Ive jsut read about everyone on this forum say that SOMETHING or the other happens!! HAHA And since I was fully prepared and watching out for it and when nothing reallllyyy happned like no twilight zone hee hee I suppose it left me wondering if I was even doing it right. ...Well good to know!! Thanks for the feedback.
I had a few questions now that I've almost finished Day 3!!!!!! wooooohooooo!!! lolll (newbie twirl n dance).
1) shloud I drink the pulp from the lemons or no??
2) I am only able to drink up to 7 glasses with the almost 2.5-3L of water I drink with it. (I did the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) on Day1 and again! nothing happened so after reading posts on here abt tht I started drinking a lot of water inbetween the lemonades to keeep myself hydrated and today, Day 3, I did SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) again and it WORKED! SOMETHING HAPPENED!!!! LOLLL) So how in the world r u guys drinking 12 glases AND drinking all that water AND the tea AND the SWF??? Boggles my mind.
3)What does the Maply Syrup do? Whats it's function in the MC??
4)I know that Master-Cleanse is not for loosing weight pr say but is a side effect so to speak...but i read soemwhere tht if u r overwieght drink less maple syrup and if ur underweight drink more maple syrup. So heres my concoction; tell me if its alright: 2 TBLS of fresh organic lemon juice, 1 TBLS of grade b maple syrup, as much cayene i can handle usually 1/2-1 TSPN and 1 glass of h20.
I know this has been a loooong msg but I simply want as much knowledge I can get from the experts on the subject.
Thanks again n Best Regards,
MC Hopeful

1. No pulp. It keeps the digestive system active and can keep you hungry throughout the fast.
2. 7 glasses is fine. 6 is the minimum
3. The maple syrup is to provide minerals and carbs to help you function in your daily activities.
4. What you read is from ignorant dieters that think the weight loss is from calorie restrictions on the MC. In actuallity the less calories one consumes the more the metabolism slows down. Personally I have always done 1 tbsp instead of 2 cause it makes it too sweet for me.
On cayenne the byword is the hotter the better. Cayenne is rated in Scolville units or HU (heat Units) and modern herbalist say that in order to have theraputic effect it should be a minimum of 90K HU. Most regular grocery store bought cayenne is pretty weak in the 20 to 40K HU range.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,854,899Thanks for the answers Pepe! How long have you been doing the MC?
1)can you do the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) with the tea at night after the Master-Cleanse as well like once every 1 or two weeks?
2)How do you keep the weight off after the MC? like what do YOU personally do once your coming off..like which juices do you drink and which diet/excersice do you follow?
You also seem to know a lot about fat loss and motabolism. could you pls share your complete knowledge?! I would and Im sure many would really appreciate it!!!:D I need to loose about 20-25lbs. I know I should excersice and eat healthy but thats a bit vague when you actually get down to doing it. Is there a plan that you follow or reccommend?
Best Regards

This is a reply to # 1,855,2311. The SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) has to be done 1st thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Doing it at the end of the day will wash out the days nutrition.
2. There ain't no Santa Claus and there ain't no Easter Bunny and no one trick pony one answer fits all. Weight loss requires a lifestyle change and you are gonna hafta do the legwork and research and find something that resonates for you. It's gonna take time and experimentation to find what works for you.
Being overweight is not a thing in and of itself it is a health issue. Keeping it off is not about omissions or calorie counting and what you can't eat but it's a positive approach about getting healthy. It's only "vague" if you are not willing to do the legwork. There is tons of info on the net. Put some effort into it find something that resonates for you and dive in. Join a gym. Most have aerobic classes several times a week. I don't use any kind of plan I just use common sense and intuition and experience. It's always a work in progress and I'm learning and experimenting all the time.

This is a reply to # 1,855,249Thanks Pepe! u the best. listen soemthing else has come up...my intestines really ache!!! Its the creepiest feeling. I read somehwere that it was happening to others as well it was due to the senna tea. I spoke to an expert and sure enough senna tea is a bit strong for some ppl and this is one of its effects. let me tell you Ive tried to stick through it but stomoach ache is one thing but your Intestine hurting is totally creepy and it hurts. which other one can b used if u r unable to use this anymore regularly. (Now it makes sense why it said on the box: for Ocassional constipation).
I'm also puting this msg under a new thead incase someone else wants to know the answer as well!
Waiting for your reply!
Thanks again
