HELLO!
I'm not really new to this board but I havent been on here for a while. this is my third attempt at the cleanse and I'm currently just finishing up day 5. Well I dont know if its technically day five because i havent been following it very well :(. the first day and a half I didnt have any lemons so I just did straight up water and lax tea. as well for some reason I have been having a hard time getting all the lemonaid in for some reason and as a result I've been getting a bit of the dizzies. I'm usually fine until about 5 or so with only one serving (I usually double the recipe up. aka drink twice as much as one glass calls for) and then I struggle to squeeze the rest of them in the evening which seems silly to me because a constant intake would make more sense. Also! The reason I'm doing this is because the past year or so I've been dappling in bulima which obviously has screwed my body up alot and I needed a chance to just get away from food for a while (it feels really strange not having an excuse to purge right now haha) anyways, as a result I have taken ALOT of laxitives and stuff and they really arent working taht well for me anymore. I have to drink a whole pot of the tea to get any results and even then its minimal. I'm thinking of doubling up the tea bags or drinking another pot at some other point in the day but that might be overkill.
Also, the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) doesnt seem to work for me no matter how I try to take it, more salt, more water etc. Its just making be really nausious and I dont see much point in taking it if it doesnt work so I dont.
Anyways, as a result of all of these issues I'm not noticing any changes due to the cleanse, no abnormal bowel movements (actually few if any) no weight loss, no coated tongue etc. The first time I did it about a year ago it was amazing but this time I'm just dissapointed. I'm not going to quit or anything, I'm just not very satisfied with it!
anyways, sorry for the blathering, if anyone has anything to respond to this I would really appricate the encouragement thanks! XOXOXO

This is a reply to # 230,633Either do the cleanse the way it is written or find another way to heal and strengthen your body that works for you... you are torturing yourself for no results and it sounds dangerous to me...
JMHO
Give yourself and your body a break and go get some good food, salads and juices and eat well for awhile.. then take the time to re-read the book, stock up everything you need and do the Master-Cleanse the way it is written and SEE what is does for you.
You are messing with your Mother Nature.. and she always has the last word.
my best wishes for you,
LN

This is a reply to # 230,633You asked for a response, so I'm gonna give you one :) What you are doing is incredibly harmful -- which I truly believe you are aware. The way I see it - you are at a fork in the road, and can go either way -- the RIGHT way -- or continue on the self-destructive path that you are on. At this point, the Master-Cleanse is the least of your worries. You first need to deal with the bulimia and laxative abuse with a professional -- the Master-Cleanse is NOT the way to try to skirt these very serious issues.
You mentioned that you did the Master-Cleanse once before -- so you should know how to do it. My take is that the behaviours were similar the last time you "cleansed" or you wouldn't be wondering why this isn't working.
With that said I have 3 bits of advice.
- read the MC book on line from top to bottome
- contact a local food disorder hotline (you can also find support groups on line)
- if you choose to use the MC you must use the proper ingredients, follow the instructions, and abide to the daily liquid intake.
I wish you well.....
Best,
Melanie
