Thank you for your support!!! I'm sure it'll get better soon. Any seasoned cleansers out there have any tips on how they fight their cravings, or is it all a mental thing???

Some of the cravings are emotional, but many are part of the detoxing process from what I have researched. You crave what you are detoxing was one thing I had read. It helps to keep well hydrated and moving it out.

I never allowed myself the option of having anything but the SWF, water, lemonade, limeade, or herbal tea. I can handle 5 choices much better than the hundreds in regular life, so when I looked at it that way, it was like a prescription for feeling better and taking my first big step in body maintainence. So often we will take better care of our vehicles than we will our bodies. If we do not change the oil in our cars, eventually they just cannot function. The same thing with us. We need to flush our body's "filters", the kidneys, liver, and flush out the old lymph and move the old fecal debris out out out.

A fantastic way to move lymph is by skin brushing. Here is a great e-book on it:

Keep up the good work!

be happy, be well,

so i'm about 24 hours into the cleanse. i have tomorrow off work, and don't start on tuesday until 4 pm.

my questions:

1. how long till the "unexpected", "mandatory", and "frequent" bowl movements end? will i be alright for work three days into the cleanse?

2. i drink a herbal tea at night, and would really prefer to do this in the morning instead of the salt flush. am i missing out on any important cleansing aspect?

thanks, i'm excited where i go with this. it's my first time...
