Day 12 of 30+

I switched to juices at Day 8 (from MC). Today is going great. I've been grumpy and feeling a lot of pain the last few days, but today the energy kicked in, the sun came out (figuratively), and I'm excited about sticking with my fast until I've reached my goals. I'm estimating another 3-5 weeks of liquids so I'm in this for the long haul.
Today I had apple juice, and carrot/celery/apple, both diluted 50/50 with water. I can't believe how sensitive my sense of taste has become! The apple juice still tastes very strong, and today I diluted it further. This is helping me keep my fluid intake up.
My failed SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) had me feeling pretty miserable, but my kidneys finally cleared out the last of it, and I think that has helped a LOT. I'm going to stick with the tea and enemas, and maybe get a colonic the next time I'm in town (an hour away).

Glad to see you're doing great! I don't have many 'great' days, but they're not terrible either, just ho-hum.
I like having colonics. What does yours cost? I'm in Michigan and I've been to 2 places, one is $55 and the other is $65.
Have a great day,

Great job! I'm on day 8 of a juice fast, and I love watching everyone that's a little ahead of me, so I know what I'm in store for.
What happened with your SWF? I did one last Friday. It was terrible. I only got down about 20 of the 32 oz you are supposed to drink, and I didn't think it would work. It took awhile, but it finally did after an hour and a half or so. It was just so gross I don't really want to do it again.
How are the enemas working for you? And what kind/where did you purchase them? Did you already know how to use them, or did you get instructions online? If you have a good resource or tips for that, let me know, because I think I'd rather do that than the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) again.
Also, how was the colonic? Was it embarassing to do? I'm kind of private about the contents of my colon, but I'm very interested in trying one. Do you think it is worth the money?

This is a reply to # 680,965The SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) was disastrous. I usually have problems, so I opt for the tea. But I felt like I needed a more thorough cleansing. I added extra salt as suggested, but it still didn't work. Instead, my kidneys picked it up, and I puffed up. Gained 2 pounds, my hands, feet and face swelled, and my joints hurt worse than usual. It took a while for my body to release it through the bladder, and until it did, I was miserable.
As for enemas, I just bought a reusable enema bag at a drug store a few years ago. I use them when the detox symptoms get bad, and I'm not really good at it yet. I can't hold it very long, but it does work. I just use warm water. There is an excellent forum here, but I haven't hung out there much. I did buy a home colema kit on ebay (about $200) and love it. However, I have lost the tubing and am too stubborn to buy new! I'll find it soon, as we are doing our spring cleaning...
I haven't had the colonic yet. I called last year and it was about $65. But it's a long drive, and I have a bad back. I don't want to go when I have the kids with me, but that's usually the only time I go down. I'm definitely going to try one soon.
Hope that answers both of your questions...
Keep up the good work. The forum is SO encouraging; I couldn't do it without all of you!

Did you drink the whole quart of water? I've also read to lie on your right side for 20 minutes following drinking it and it will rush the sw into your intestines quicker. I'd be p.o.ed if I drank that stuff and it did nothing!- Re: Day 12 of 30+ countrygirl_roni

This is a reply to # 680,976I wasn't able to quite finish the whole quart, but I have in the past, and I always lie on my side. It never works. But the tea does, so I'm sticking with that for now.
Believe me, I was not a happy camper. Especially since it tasted nasty AND made me feel so much worse. I don't even know why I keep trying it, but I always have the same lack of results.
I'm still hoping to find the rest of my colema setup, because that's 5 gallons of water, and I always feel great afterwards...
