I started the Master-Cleanse a few days after my period and I hardly had any cramps. In fact, I had terrible ones before I started it and then after I started it, I rather forgot that I had my period. Okay well I didn't forget but I didn't have any cramps.


I was fine, in fact I liked the fact that I was starting around my period because I felt like it would be more of a motivator (feeling down and out/unhealthy=wanting to do a fast)

Hope that helps a bit

A woman I know started right before her period and had the worst cramps she had experienced in years, maybe ever. She said if she did it again she would start after the period.

The menstrual cycle provides an additional outlet for toxins, and personally, I have my best fasts when I start my fast a day or two AFTER I start my period. I have tried to start an Master-Cleanse just before my period, and I was just too weak and miserable to continue.
