I thought it was important to type my experience, for someone else who may be wanting to cleanse.
Background: 37 year old female- 143lb - Up to age 34 was a size 4. Up until this age, I was a lucky girl. High metabolism. Fairly Active. About at age 34, I started to have hormonal issues (so says the Dr). Very tired in the mornings, depressed, weight gain of 10 lbs, (which would of been ok, except it was around my midsection. Very odd look for body size for with extended belly. (Dr explained that this is just how some people gain weight. Talk about feeling frustrated, I felt I should have 10lbs because I was to skinny before, but thought 10lbs would go everywhere not just to my belly. In addition, I had cysts (hard very deep under the skin) For four years I have battle this symptoms, plus adding 10 more
pounds on this. Diagnosis (my testerone level -high end of normal range.) I must be extra senistive to this level. Prescriptions- Spirolatin (sp?) plus anti-depressants - Lexapro.
Recently: Someone recommend to me
The Master Cleanse to help expel toxins out of my body. Started
Master-Cleanse for couple of days before trip, but stopped when I found this website and it stated you could have breakouts. Came back from trip: Researched found Colonix program, thought this would be easier than the MC.
(Please note, I did not use the tea at night) I regularly have BM's so I didn't think I needed the laxative part. Plus it sounded more harmful than good.
Week 1: On about day 3 to 4 (saw a few strange things ** Mushroom shaped bulbish things) Rest of the week (Average 2 BM's a day of what looked like normal.)
End of Week: No weight change, Pants feel the same.
Week 2: Wow feel better getting up not so tired. Saturday, Wanted to go play Racquetball. Husband looked as if he may passout by me wanting to go do something active. Keep in mind I do work full time but I force myself through the days. Days seem easier! Had a couple of really bad irritiable periods. Kind of a roller coaster of emotions.
End of Week: No weight change, lost 1
inch of waist. Pants looking baggy.
Week 3: Started on Sunday. Sunday and Monday- Feeling terribly irritiable on and off. My skin is itchy. My skin felt very oily. Took shower 3 to 4 times, just felt awful. monday morning- did my pills and then my shake. Had my normal immediate BM, then next hour, needed to go again, BM fairly normal. On the 3rd trip, It was not normal. Weird feeling. I had mixed with my BM (many 4- 6
inches I think) clear jelly looking, almost like skinny eel looking shapes appearing. One for sure had a something that was a head with darkened areas that I think would be eyes. I had several trips like this.
My evening last night was trying to find what this was. No avail. Pictures looked like pinworm but too large for those.
I am debating if I should go the DR with Sample so I can get name of what this is.
Scared and frustrated that I have this.
Stepped on scale to see if change in weight (none) Belly looked less this morning so did a new measurement from Saturday. I have now lost total 2 1/2
inches in waist.
I feel not so oily and bad this morning- but nervous of what the day will bring.
