Re: Help with newbie questions?
Hi NewLeaf! Let's see...I'll try to answer some of your questions based on my experience.
1. People do many many different variations of the BP & MC. I started the
Master-Cleanse and B&P drinks at the exact same time. My boyfriend, on the other hand, has been taking the B&P drinks for the last 10 days or so now...and on Day6 or so, pooed out a penny that had been inside him for about 26 days! He'll be starting the
Master-Cleanse in January. He wants to try it but is a bit afraid because usually when he doesn't eat it can trigger a migraine. We both thought it would be a good idea for him to start with the B&P first...that way he can get rid of lots of toxins before he starts the MC. He broke out around Day4 (super rare occurence...he had a big cluster of about 7 pimples) because of toxins swirling around. But he hasn't had a headache since he started taking the
Bentonite and psyllium! yay. So...you really can do it whatever order you'd like to. (but I'd suggest starting the B&P as soon as you can and fitting the
Master-Cleanse in when you can!)
2. Again, you can drink the lemonade if you want to when coming off the fast...it's just a matter of taste, I think. Because I was soooo not into starting to think about food again, I just kept drinking the lemonade because I didn't want to think about preparing food again! You'll find that your body will say Yes to the lemonade or No, no more!
3. The Ultimate Fast is: Doing the MC, taking the B&P drinks and doing the
parasite Cleanse (ParaGone is one regime you can buy). I don't have the url handy, but you can search for the Ultimate Fast to check it out. Yes, definitely do the
parasite Cleanse as well as everything else! You may not have any parasites...but won't it feel nice to know one way or the other? (I know...they just sound dreadfully icky!)
4. I didn't do an enema while on the MC & B&P drinks. Some people do and some people don't. An enema is suggested if you don't have bowel movements. (and if you don't have bowel movements you should probably discontinue the B&P drinks until they start up again...the main thing is to drink water!!)
5. And I don't know what the "Zone" is!! What is it??
6. Passing mucoid plaque is not painful at all....just super fun! ha. Some people find it disgusting, but I find it fascinating! (remember, my boyfriend passed a penny!) The 'ropes' can be quite long, but nope...no pain at all.
7. I'm not sure what a practioner is either...hmmmmm.
8. You shouldn't have diarrea or anything like that while on the MC and B&P drinks, so, no...you won't have to run to the bathroom or anything. Urges feel perfectly normal.
9. As I said earlier, I'd just start right away on the B&P drinks, then start the MC when you can. You really just have to make sure that when taking the B&P drinks that you drink them on an empty stomach. That's important. And drink lots of water. You can do this pretty easily any day of the week...
I hope this answers some of your questions. I'd love to hear how you feel during and after all the cleansing!
