Hi Fusion,

I don't think you have the right book because I' m pretty sure Burroughs is against any bee products - he hates honey, anyway. What's the difference between bee pollen and honey?

I have never worried about probiotics, etc. so I can't help you there. I figure if eat healthily, my body will figure out what to do. :) I think you can start eating whatever you want now, but still eat lightly.

I've read some things on here about bee pollen, I was interested in taking it myself but postponed it for the time being. Try the search option, I've heard really good things about it but I did read some negative stuff too. The local health food store here carries it and they rave about it. I know your suppose to get it locally. Hope this helps!!! Let us know what you decide to do.

Quite a few years back, prolly 15 or more years Bee Pollen was in vogue here in the states and I did it for a while and it did seem to help my energy levels etc.

Udos choice I can definetly recomend specially on a vegetarian diet where one pretty much has to supplememt with oils to get a balance of essential fatty acids(EFA). Udo's is a blend of oils with the perfect balance of Omega 3 to omega 6 EFAs. Even when not on a vegetarian diet supplememting with EFAs is definetly a good thing. Check out Udo or Barleans websites. They both have lots of info on EFAs.

Udo's is pretty expensive compared to Flax seed oil so I use 2 tablespoons Flax seed oil daily.

Hello fusion,

After my second Master-Cleanse I did take a probiotic supplement. I guess I have no way of knowing if it was necessary or not! lol I suspect it was a good move, however, since my friend (who's a nurse) believes that the reason the tongue turns white is because all of the bacteria in your body is killed off during a fast and it causes thrush. She was surprised at how quickly the tongue turns pink again once you start eating (I guess that's a good sign). Although I confess that I question whether thrush is really the culprit in regards to the fasting white tongue. After reading about it online, I guess it could be associated with the dying off of the body's bacteria, and it does seem to be related to candida, which probably a lot of Americans have without knowing it (it's my opinion that we all take in way too much yeast).

What would really be interesting to find out is the percentage of people who actually experience the white tongue while fasting (I think all do not), and what the normal prefast diet was in each group...

Meanwhile, I continue to eat yoghurt on a regular basis to promote the good bacteria within. But my advice to you is do what you feel is best. You know your body better than anyone on this board, and you are your own best doctor! Most likely UDO's or another probiotic can't hurt at any rate. God bless you on your journey!!

So now I'm gonna say a big concluding THANKS! to all of you "veterans" and everybody else on this board, for your support and good advices!
I've got to say that I learned a lot from this board, and feels that my next MC, will probably be even more efficiant!

I agree w J.F. that it could have been real interesting to do a more serious research on the MC, and in the meanwhile, it's good we have each other's expiriances to learn from (together, of course, with listening to our own bodies which is the most importent).

See you guys around, TC, Fusion :)
