i think you'll definitely want to get your bowels moving very regularly before doing a parasite cleanse. visit the Bowel Cleanse and/or constipation forum. if you attempt a parasite cleanse but only go once a week you'll feel very yucky. there's a lot to this cleansing thing but just relax and start slowly...

i have big problems with constipation myself. what has helped me greatly is magnesium products such as Oxypowder or coloson. psyllium shakes. glycerin suppositories on occasion they are quick and effective! chinese bitters seem to really help me. i do an enema at the end of any day that i haven't eliminated natually. also diet is a huge factor! eliminate constipating dry/heavy foods. eat mostly juicy foods like veggies, fruit, fresh juices and lots of water.

if you are really anxious to start the parasite cleanse there are some prepackaged products that do both bowel/parasite cleanse at the same time. colonix (www.colonix.com) is one and i'mm sure there are many others. good luck!

What I would do before anything is get that colon cleaned out- If you only have a bowel movement once a week- you have lots of old feces stuck in there fermenting.

Cascara Sagrada herb stimulates the colon to push it out.

check your healthfood store too- there are things you can get that willl clean you out. After this is done, then your set to do parasite cleanses. The parasites will come out dead- and cleaning the colon will unplug you so they can come out into the toilet.

Im not sure 100% on the exact steps to take for that pineapple fast.
I know its 3 days- others here may be able to help you more on that.

I know with cleaning out your colon, etc., changing your diet to mostly raw fruits and veggies- and some cooked veggies- getting more olive oil and plant oils as compared to animal oils, etc.-- you will lose weight.

Your thyroid will be able to work better and metabolize your food-- alot of things slow the thyroid down and people will just say it's "growing older", etc.

Hang in there!
