Hi Everyone,

Had been suffering from severe gastritis and didn't feel that the conventional treatment was working well enough. Came upon the Master Cleanse, read the book, and decided to give it a go. If ANYONE would have told me that I would be able to go 10 days without food, I would have laughed out loud.
This is the end of day 10 - I followed the rules to the T. The result: Significant reduction in stomach symptoms, no muscle spasms around the stomach area, and, most unbelievable of all...I started the cleasne at 223 (I am 6'1") and the doctor weighted me in at 208 today!! My primary reason for doing this was to help my GI system, but what I also learned is that a good deal of my hunger is psychological in nature. I am excited about exploring adding more raw foods to my diet and plan on another cleanse in the early Spring.

Major thanks to the support I found on this board. Times when I thought I couldn't do another day (because, let's face it, the lemonade tastes good, but it isn't chicken or steak...it isn't even brocolli) I would read the latest posts and it would carry me forward.

Wishing you all happy upcoming holidays. I will definitely be spreading the word about this amazing process.

Mark
