Hi there...did you ever have an old injury at that part of your back?

On the Master-Cleanse people will find that they get strange aches and pains - because you're not using energy up on digesting food the energy in your body can go where it is needed. Perhaps some healing is taking place at this spot in your back?

I wouldn't worry about 5 or 10 days on the MC...unless you get dizzy and start to feel reeeeally bad, this kind of pain is okay. If you can get someone to rub the area that's a good idea...it brings more energy to the area...sounds like some stagnant qi.

I don't know why your pain would go away eating cheeseburgers! hmmm. You're thinking it has something to do with protein? Being deficient in B12 or something? hmmmmm You can always get that tested.

Because you say it subsides when you stop drinking liquids maybe this pain has something to do with your kidneys? In which case you're doing exactly the right thing.... The Master Cleanse totally cleans your kidneys....so keep it up and don't worry....if (and it's a long-shot) you're not getting enough nutrients, it's only for a few days...but listen to your body, like I said before, if you feel sick sick or dizzy then you might want to quit.

You should do a search on curezone's search engine for this kind of back pain and link it with kidneys....do some searching and you might find some answers!

Maybe someone else here has some ideas...

Hope that helps a bit...

My two cents....

I'd be suspecting kidney pain as well or perhaps another one of your internal organs doing some house cleaning.

I dont feel that it's bad, especially if you only feel the pain when on a cleanse. To me that suggests that the body is only getting a chance to work on it whle you're cleaning.

You should be sure to drink lots of additional fluids, and try getting the area worked on. I can't recommend enough how beneficial a massage (especial a visceral stomach massage) can be to your system during this.

I'd just trust that your body is working to heal. I get all sorts of interesting pains when I cleanse, and with a little body work, the pains go away and I feel so much better in the end.

So yeah, that's my thoughts anyway.

Congrats for being so GOOD to yourself.

It is very important to use Grade B Maple syrup.
I am on day 8 and for the first 4 days I used Grade A and molasses (because that's what I had at home).
Then I made a trip to the Health Food store and got a half gallon of Grade B Organic Maple syrup.
Wow, does it taste good! And it is worth the money. And it has much more vitamins, especially B vitamins than Grade A.
Our house will never be without it. After the fast, I plan on baking with it (instead of Sugar or honey).
Good luck.

Hi, I found your question just searching for an answer about my problem. I did The Master Cleanse (15 days) and I started with back pain (left side) A couple of months later I did The Master Cleanse again and the pain came back but this time when I finished the cleanse the pain didn't go away, I stil have it. Did you find out what was wrong? someone told me to drink more water and I am doint that.
Bye
