As in my day 49 check-in below, day 54 finds me extremely well and enjoying juices so much after 48 days of the Master Cleanse! My primary goal is intestinal cleansing, and I will do another colonic on day 58 and evaluate whether to break or continue... This has been an extremely productive fast, and I feel and look wonderful (if I do say!).
From size 18 to size 10... skin CRAZY to skin soft, smooth and glowing... dealt with an old kidney problem very nicely... got bionic sight! No longer need glasses for TV... INCREDIBLE clarity of mind... lost all joint aches/pains... easiest periods I have ever had... Gee, what else--always something! Oh yes, MUCH MUCH old garbage out of the colon. Amazing.
For breakfast I am having apple/pear/black grape/ginger juice, and in the pm I have been favoring gazpacho-like mixtures of carrot, tomato, celery, cucumber, pepper (red, green, jalapeño), beet, cabbage, onion, garlic, parsley... and of course, cayenne!
YUMMMM!
Best to all,

MoreThis is a reply to # 678,338Hi Somer, I was wondering if you had ever tried Cascara Segrada, it is working pretty well for me. I have been doing colonics off and on for the last few months. I know...off and on is not so good. But this week I decided to get serious and started a Bowel Cleanse with apple juice and fiber five times a day for three days, and four the remaining four vegetables and on to fruit. I have heard mixed things abou the Cascara, can be addictive?? It works great though. I am on the third day and the headaches are horrible, hopefully that will go away soon. It sounds like you are doing great! I am very interested in a juice fast, if I survive this one!!
Take care,

MoreThis is a reply to # 678,339I have taken herbal combinations including cascara sagrada, but have not used it alone.
I think off and on is FINE for colonics! I think you need a break between at some points, and continue your cleansing herbally, and/or with fasting, which I have found to be THE most effective bowel cleanser, along with colonics.
The Master Cleanse is the most intensive fast, barring water which I think is much too intense for most people to do long term. In order to get lasting results, you really need to do at least ten days of a fasting cleanse. I am enjoying the juices on top of the MC, and have never been hungry or uncomfortable.
Yep, those headaches are classic detox symptoms. Drink lots of water... and I assume you are evacuating your bowels pretty well with the CS?
Best,

This is a reply to # 678,343Hi there,
Thanks for the response. I was wondering which "master cleanse" are you recommending, because there seem to be a few different ones? I was also wondering about this "rope like" stuff that we are supposed to be getting rid of, and haven't seen a thing yet. I am scheduled for a colonic on Friday. I spoke with the tech today who said this should be happening?? This is my third day any thoughts??
Thanks again,

This is a reply to # 678,345Go to the Master Cleanse Forum and read the FAQs, There is only one Master Cleanse, but people do add the "P&B" shakes (psyllium and bentonite) for something called the Ultimate Cleanse. Go to the Bowel Cleanse Forum and read the FAQs.
If you are doing the P&B, apparently it comes out in "ropes", carrying mucoid placque with it.
I am not doing P&B. Nothing comes out of me in ropes, but it's coming out alright!
Is this your first colonic? I am assuming they will be using what is called a "closed system", a very high tech devise that uses ultra purified water at a certain temperature, and the tech controls the input and outflow, and the clear tube goes into the wall and straight into the sewer. Wonderful machine! I have read stories of people having BAD colonic experience with lesser equipment, and apparently not the greatest operators... check the enema and colonic board if you have any questions-- they are very knowledgeable and supportive.
I have never had anything but wonderful colonic experiences, but my naturopath is also an RN, and very experienced. And her equipment is top notch.
Take care,
Somer

This is a reply to # 678,338That is Awsome, I admire you, for that This is truly my goal. To do a 40 day juice detox fast, for healing. How do you get started? Did you do The Master Cleanse alone with the lemon cayenne and maple or did you do the juice fast?
Help me I would love to get started.- Re: Day 54 and still happily juicing... Somer

This is a reply to # 680,276I have done very long juice fasting, both the Master-Cleanse and fruits/veggies, with the supervision of my excellent naturopath/nutritionist/iridologist/RN/colonic therapist. I would not recommend a very long (over ten day) fast unsupervised. On many occasions I was glad to have her expert advice--for example when I passed a small kidney calcification on day 18 of that 60 day fast... without her I would surely have panicked and ended up at the ER--with her help I was able to fast through with homeopathic/herbal support. Also, two months after that long fast I proceeded to lose hair by the handsful! She explained the metabolic processes that caused this, and that it would grow back (it did)... but again, without her I would have definitely been freaked.
Unsupervised, I would suggest a series of shorter fasts. This summer I did five ten day fasts with cleansing diet between, with excellent results and MUCH easier to break (I was still breaking that long fast six months later!) and far easier on the body.
I have done both the Master-Cleanse and juice fasting and appreciate them both. The Master-Cleanse is far simpler--juicing requires shopping, purifying, prepping and juicing--careful storage for short periods etc. BUT the effort is well worth it to me for the extra nutritional support.
You can continue your daily routine with either method, which give you plenty of support. DO keep your colon very clean every day you fast!
I have posted lots of info on juice fasting on this forum, and am on the MC Forum a lot as well. Please feel free to browse through my posts for info on cleansing diet, Colon Cleanse routines etc. and let me know if I can help you in any way.
Best,
Somer
