the goal as far as BMs is just to have several a day to move out toxins. the total number and the type of movement depends on the person.

not all people have the mucoid plauque. it happens when your colon gets irritated over and over again without being able to heal. for example if your body is sensitive to wheat...you most likely will have that.

around day 4 there were dark solids and blackish pieces that i moved out. i dont know but it could of been flakes of plaque. it can come out in flakes and not ropes.
up your cayenne pepper intake if you are worried about mucoids. it helps break it up.

thats a general rule and generally true.

but i have found that (thru research) that not everyone is that way. some people stay coated the whole time or dont get coatings at all. listen to how your body feels about breaking your fast. if you break at 10 days and are still coated...just wait a couple months where you spend your time eating organically and meatless if possible. then cleanse again. The Master Cleanse can be done 3-4 times a year.

liquid bms aren't so much a goal, as the norm. I'm on day 15 and still passing solids sometimes. Don't worry so much about the quality of your bms as much as the quanity. ;) The book says 2 or more times a day.
