Coming off the cleanse- THE WRONG WA...

Okay, so... I just finished 11 days on the Master-Cleanse and last night I broke my fast. I didn't do it the correct way, though. I wanted to share this experience just to satisfy the curiousity of anyone who might be wondering "what happens if you don't come off the cleanse slowly?"
Last night I was dragged to a birthday party for a close friend of mine. The topic of WHY I wasn't eating my favorite food (we hit a really nice Mexican restaurant) consumed the entire group of people. I was going to stop at 12 days anyway and then restart again in a week or so... AND I'M NOT RECOMMENDING THIS TO OTHERS BUT... I just said to hell with it and ate a complete regular meal.
No "coming off the cleanse with broth"... no "fresh juice only for a day"... nothing. Just... regular food.
The result? Nothing. No ill effects. I still don't recommend that to anyone else. I made that decision on my own.
The really cool thing though... was that after an hour of being hammered about WHY I'd do something so "kooky", several people wanted to try it. I'm writing a fairly extensive guide as a companion to the original Burroughs text for the Master Cleanse. It answers some of the questions you see repeatedly on here (can I take my vitamins, what's supposed to happen on the MC, what if my tongue turns colors, what if I hate the salt water or the cayenne?)
So after a not-so-inspiring story of following the cleanse religiously for 11 days- and then CHOWING DOWN on Mexican food with no preparation at all, there is a positive side!
On Monday, May 10th... five other people including me are going to do the Master-Cleanse again. The agreed upon length is 14 days although some want to go longer. EThe participants are coming to my house this weekend for a quick class on making the lemonade, the tea, the SWF... and where to buy everything including that Holy Grail GRADE B syrup.
So to any of you who wondered what happens when you come off the cleanse rapidly... I can report nothing bad happened to me. But... I could only eat about 1/4 of what I normally would. I was comfortably full after only the appetizers. But don't be like me... follow the Master-Cleanse instructions and do it the right way!
Happy Cleansing...

MoreThis is a reply to # 392,891he he -- KIDDING! :) Hey, if it worked for you, then no worries. I'm really nervous about my hypoglycemia, so I am going all out to make sure I come off the cleanse by the book (but that's just me). I'm afraid if I ate a carb then my body would just go "yah - give me more" so I'm going to stay away from those.
Glad you enjoyed your mexican dinner - you earned it!

This is a reply to # 392,891Wow Ceeeeez!
Giving a Master Cleanse Class/Support Group...I am impressed. So many people I know want to try the Master-Cleanse but to them it seems a bit overwhelming...so this is the perfect solution. Think about how may lives you can touch and maybe change by offering up your home, knowledge, experiences and heart.
You have inspired me...I will see if I can follow in your shoes (that is with the class not the mexican food LOL)and start a group here with my friends, family and co-workers who would like to try.
Take care - Chris

I started today....I must say this going to be very challenging do to the fact that I am a cater. I've been making dozens of cookies and have to make some pies next. I just wonder if i taste something and not swallow it, will it effect the cleanes? I plan on completely rinsing my mouth out. I am exited about this clease and this site is awesome...Pray for me....Mehlin - Re: Coming off the cleanse- THE WRON... moonflower

As soon as I finish with it, I plan to share it with the rest of the people on this forum. I'll probably have to find a site somewhere with free space so I can post it... or else give it to someone else to post for me.
It will definitely have an overview of the book by Stanley Burroughs MINUS the preachy and weird stuff. I thank Mr. Burroughs for his book but just between you and I... it's not written very well. And the part at the end about how he's been tossed in jail for disseminating the advice given in the book is less than comforting. I mean... if you were skeptical just by reading a description of the diet he proposes, reading he's been tossed in jail for it doesn't really inspire much CONFIDENCE that he's not a quack.
This forum and this site have been immensely helpful- but too often you REALLY have to look and read and research on the web alot to get clear answers to questions. I've hit so many bumps doing the first cleanse- and I'd READ the book twice- that I really think a "helper" guide would be very useful. Even when you ask someone a direct question in the forum such as "What's a PB Shake?"... the answer you get back is pretty short and less than detailed. To find the REAL answer you have to spend HOURS digging through posts and websites and FAQ's, etc. Not to mention everyone has their own editorial advice which may or may not be relevant.
In my career I've had to do a good share of technical writing- hopefully I can make the process of starting and maintaining a cleanse a little less mysterious.
:) Have a great weekend... I'll look for a place to post the guide on Monday!
Thanks...
