you should of drank water not eaten.
a tenth of a tea spoon is not that much pepper.
are you sure you are adding the right amount?
the pepper helps break up the mucoid plauque
do you have the book?

lemons and limes are the same deal except for the taste.

My first guess is you're taking in too much pepper. I take a smidge from a capsule and put it on my tongue and take a swig. You do not need an entire capsule in one go -- that is way too much pepper. Think of it this way, would you empty an entire capsule and put it in your drink. I wouldn't! A capsule can last you 2 days :)

I took a capsule once and burped pepper for a day, which burned my throat, as well as burned my bum coming out. OUCH!

Try to cut back on the pepper (remember - a pinch is not that much).

Also - the symptoms you're feeling is detox...pure and simple. The first reaction is to eat something, but try to avoid that. Drink loads of water and 6-12 lemonaids a day (with a little pepper) and you'll feel great!

Hi and welcome! I am a many time, long time cleanser. I live in Mexico where lemons are hard to come by, so virtually always use limes, which are yummy and very supportive!

It is not by the book, and there are arguments against, but my nutritionist/naturopath says there is no problem with the cayenne caps and I have fasted long term many times with caps very successfully. The cayenne is a very important addition to this cleanse as it cuts mucous like a White Tornado! Excess mucous is a bad guy and must be removed! Definitely give cayenne a try.

You did a good thing falling back to a cleansing diet before trying again. I ate fruits/vegs for 30 days before my 60 day fast last summer with multiple benefits! Before a ten day I like to eat this way for about a week. If you are a big coffee drinker, sugarholic etc., the detox can be heck that first week! Coffee is famous for the type of headache you describe. Ouch!!

Sounds like you are a prime candidate for a good cleanse! Let us know if we can help you in any way to reach your goal.

Best,
