Last night I got the most excruciating thigh cramp. I can not post the details but it was bad. I get them from time to time, not often. This one was the worst. Hours, I laid there in pain, I wanted to throw up. This morning I was so sore my whole right butt cheek hurts. I got the same cramp but less severe before I started the cleanse. This was much worst than a couple of days ago.
I started my Master-Cleanse 3 days ago so I thought I would pick some more syrup up and go to CVS to talk to the pharmacist about a new product I have been watching, I know they carry it. I must have been crazy, I guess I believed talking to the pharmacist would help me with the product and possible purchase. He was just plain old mean, he did not want to talk and of course he thought I should see a doctor and that I needed MEDICATION. WOW. He needed a doctor more than me. I can not get into it or I will say bad things but WOW. Needless to say I walked out, Me and my limping leg.
Its a bright orange box, Cramp911. I went to the website and I like the idea of it being topical and it is just magnesium and potassium, it makes sense. If anyone has heard of this let me know. I've got to get more syrup so I will be purchasing this product at my friendly healthfood store.

I don't understand the rational that you experience leg cramps and you wish to take a pill? It doesn't make sense to me.
I had leg cramps at night for several months and when I mentioned it to a physical therapist friend of mine she gave me a series of stretching exercises and it cured the cramps almost over night.
Our bodies are designed to be used. Practicing some type of routine exercises (such as I was doing) can cause cramping and so can underutilizing our bodies which can become weakened. My suggestion would be first to learn about the muscle that is cramping and learn what type of stretching will relax it - and that should be done on both sides of the body. Not particularly interested in your BMI but if it's over 25 a weight reduction plan would also be appropriate.
An exercise routine of 20 or 30 minutes a day, 4 or 5 times a week is the absolute minimum that we need. It also helps you sleep better and creates many other benefits as well.

Never heard of this specific item, but magnesium and potassium are good for getting rid of leg cramps and muscle spasming. Make sure there are no artificial ingredients in it before taking it in conjunction with the lemonade diet.

Elimination of toxins is of prime importance when fasting so doing the Lax tea and the SWF become a crucila element to help they system help get rid of toxins. Another element is being well hydrated to keep toxins diluted and moving out so the first line of defense is drinking lots of water at the onset of any detox sysmtoms. Do not take any chemicals, concoctions etc as that will interfere with the bodys detox process. Leg pains are not uncommon when fasting read below.
From the Detox Stages in the FAQs:"During fasting, the body's healing process is at optimum efficiency. As the body scours for dead or damaged tissue, the lymphocytes enter the older, damaged tissue secreting substances to dissolve the damaged cells. These substances irritate the nerves in the surrounding region and cause a reoccurrence of aches from previously injured areas that may have disappeared years earlier. The pain is good as the body is completing the healing process. The muscles may become tight and sore due to toxin irritation. The legs can be the worst affected, as toxins accumulate in the legs."

This is a reply to # 1,905,639Also consider taking magnesium internally for the cramps and overall health. For internal use my favorite is Natural Calm:

This is a reply to # 1,905,639Listen to your body,
When it's talking to you
and stop doing what you are doing!
Cramps are a sign that you are sonsuming too much fruit or too much swetteners or both.
If you get cramps while on Master Cleanse, then for god's sake stop doing it, it is not the right cleanse for you!
Listen to your body!

This is a reply to # 1,906,796"Listen to your body" is an overused meaningless "cliche" used when people are second guessing and/or have no real experience or actual knowledge to contribute but worse of all when it culminates in >fear mongering< using exclamation signs (!). If we had the wisdom or experience to interpret any of these signs we would have NEVER eaten those jelly donuts that got most of us to the stage of illness or toxemia to begin with ;+D
It is a well known "fact" of any cleansing protocol that depending on many factors including our particular ailments and toxic stage that more likely than not one will go through moments of discomfort caused by toxins released by the fasting/cleansing process. Given this if everyone quit at any sign of discomfort nobody would ever do any cleanses or fast long enough for the system to actually release the toxins that are causing the discomfort/illness.
In more extreme cases when one is having a Herxheimer reaction caused by more toxins released than the system can handle, the general wisdom is to do an enema to evacuate the toxins from the system and also start drinking lots of fluids to keep things diluted and moving out. In fasting/cleansing protocols the wisdom is also to never quit on a low to allow the system to process and expel the toxins that were causing the discomfort.
It is a wise endeavor for anyone embarking on any fasting protocol that before starting any fast that for as long as possible to gradually start the system detoxing by eating a mostly raw diet and drinking veggie juices pre fast to minimize any detox reactions during a fast.- Re: Thigh Cramp last night, is anyon... #136970

""Listen to your body" is an overused meaningless "cliche" used when people are second guessing..........."
Not true at all! You as spirit are responsible for your body and your body is the communication tool to you about what's going on in your reality both physical and spiritual. First, you have to get into your body and you do that by grounding - a spiritual technique.
Anyone suggesting a number one "cure" for leg cramps by doing anything oral is doing nothing but trying to get back to the teat in our bottle fed society yet it's done on this thread over and over again. Nobody has asked the individual's BMI (humongously important) or exercise level - equally - important. With out that information it's like looking for your lost wallet under a street light instead of the dark alley where you dropped it because it's easier to see there.
As posted earlier I cured my significant leg cramps of several months standing with stretching exercises alone - in about one day if I remember right..

Your knee jerk reaction noted as is your lack of comprehension of the context in which the issue was addressed based on what the original posters question which was related to leg cramps >>>WHILE DOING THE MASTER CLEANSE<<< and the response given by WS. In my previous post I included a comprehensive explanation that leg cramps are a common occurrence when fasting and what the wisdom is regarding addressing detox reaction when fasting. In no way shape or form did I allude to any cure for leg cramps oral or otherwise.
In your overzealous misguided lack of comprehension you took this opportunity to soap box and regurgitate some spiritual psychobabble that is completely irrelevant when the IN YOUR FACE pragmatic fact is that what it takes is not some belief system but experience and knowledge to interpret any of these body signs as I went on to explain. The real world pragmatic reality is that the vast vast majority of people that come here asking question neither have the experience or the knowledge to interpret these signals and they certainly will NOT be helped by your useless irrelevant belief system......nor will baseless fear mongering that can keep an individual from addressing issues to heal themselves.
You further show your ignorance by discounting the well known fact that most cramps can be caused by a chemical imbalance which can also be related to a nutritional deficiencies. This is not to discount the "humongous importance" to >>>any<<< health oriented protocol that exercise/stretching and activity play. I'm not going to elaborate because it's irrelevant to the gist of the original intent of the post but I can tell you without reservations whatsoever that personally I just addressed an issue involving muscle cramps and pinched nerve that after trying all kinds of therapeutic exercises and even inversion therapies that my cure only happened when I dealt with it through oral/nutrition means. This blows your ignorant overzealous self indulgent BS statement about the "teat in our bottle fed society" right out of the water...........

This is a reply to # 1,905,639I assume you have a severe magnesium deficiency and need to get magnesium into you asap. One that I like is called jigsaw.
