My MD says the same thing, and when I mentioned Liver Flush she looked at my chart and said my liver was fine. I didn't need to do anything and if it wasn't she would tell me what needed to be done. She told me not to play with what is working well, so I have been pondering this in my mind since Jan. 23rd. I don't have a gaul bladder anymore so I don't need to worry about that. I am getting skeptical also about everything, I'm watching I'm reading and trying to make sure people are doing it correctly, that chose to do it. For now I am sticking to BTD. I have a few more questions for my doctor next time I see her. I have only gotten better, since she has been my doctor. I'm with you questions, doubt, want more knowledge, proof of safety of it, and its affects on the body. Thanks for bringing it hope. Glad I'm not the only one.

Hey f,

Yeah, I felt the same way you did...
and I'm still going...heeehaaa

I caught a tad of commercialism when he laughed then segued into a pitch
for his liver cleanse ,which I have heard some bad things about ,too.

I shrug it off. I feel that life is radical and sometimes ya just have to be
radical...

I've done a few MCs, I'm on day 10/45, I'm feeling fine(tooo much cayenne in a couple of Mc hammer cocktails yesterday,ouch),exercising plenty, operating biz without a glitch,sleeping like a baby(didn't you hear me cryin') and still able to rant and rave here.

All I can say is keep the vision...

aloha...

I think a good measure of doubt, skepticism and worry is always good.

I think one thing we have to realise is that fasting has been around for thousands of years. Is it the solve-all? Probably not. Is it safe? That depends on who is doing what kind of a fast at what point in life. For me, fasting, is a method to get rid of cravings and bad habits. I use it as a starting point to change my life. I have only done two fasts, one of which was 14 days and one of which lasted 25 days.

It is interesting to note that the first time around a lot of my food intolerances went away for quite a while. This time around I am even more sensitive to my food intolerances than before - I was feeling quite sick for the last three or four days and I finally (!!) realised that I am intolerant to eggplant. It clicked last night. I was eating some eggplant and immediately my neck went stiff - that's a sure-fire sign for me that I have eaten something I am intolerant to.

So, after having fasted for 25 days I am back to almost normal food. What have been the benefits of the fast? I can finally sleep again - the nightmares have vanished and I sleep deeply enough not to be wakened by light noises. I have changed my diet and have eradicated Sugar from it. Other than that there are no 'physical' changes I can see besides having lost a few pounds and having lost the dark circles under my eyes.

By day 17 of my fast I could no longer tolerate the lemonade so I switched over to juices. If I do another fast it will most likely be a juice fast, as the Master-Cleanse kept me hungry no matter how much lemonade I drank. To me it felt like deprivation at times - my teeth were killing me at the end of 17 days of the MC. That in itself to me was a warning sign, as was the rumbling and grumbling of my stomach which at times was to the point of being painful.

I think the Master-Cleanse is something to consider, however so is a juice fast and many other methods as well.

I personally don't trust any of these health gurus who often to me seem very radical in their approach. I have found in the past that many people who bash certain ideas, do so, to promote their own ideas and sell books, supplements, medication or other products.

Use common sense and health will prevail. Sometimes we need some guidelines but if we actually take the time to listen to our bodies we will find that the answer lies right there.

its true! i totally agree with Andreas Moritz ....too much flushing/cleansing is NOT good folks!
our bodies are meant to process and eliminate waste products. yes, sometimes a little cleanse is okay, but not to the excessiveness i've seen on curezone!
anyone knows that too much of a good thing is a waste....no pun intended!

all fasting will produce stones. not just the MC. thats why you do it for a peroid of time. not 365 days a year for the rest of your life.

curezone suggests a Liver Flush for ending your total cleansing protocol anyway.


i personally upped the healthy fat in my diet post cleanse and passed my stones with normal bile production. i didnt do the liver flush.

stones aside....it doesnt change the fact of what The Master Cleanse does as a whole.

"Purpose:

To dissolve and eliminate toxins and congestion that have formed in any part of the body.

To cleanse the kidneys and the digestive system.

To purify the glands and cells throughout the entire body.

To eliminate all unusable waste and hardened material in the joints and muscles.

To relieve pressure and irritation in the nerves, arteries, and blood vessels.

To build a healthy blood stream.

To keep youth and elasticity regardless of our years.

WHEN TO USE IT?

When sickness has developed—for all acute and chronic conditions.

When the digestive system needs a rest and a cleansing.

When overweight has become a problem.

When better assimilation and building of body tissue is needed."

and NEVER take the word of someone trying to pimp thier product.


so that guy who is pimping his product can stick it. i went through many products scripts, diets and methods to try to get rid of my chronic knee pain, wrist pain, carpal tunnel, headaches, ganglion cyst, yeast overgrowth in the digestive track, dark circles, skin rashes, insomnia, facial lines

NOTHING even came close to what The Master Cleanse did for me. AND its true healing because the effects stay with you post cleanse and you get better and better feeling.
its really amazing.
