Hi waterdesign. A supplemental castor oil pack. They can be powerful. ("palm of Christ" :-) ) Be gentle with the cleansing... I'm impressed that you have so much will to perfect the fast. I've been continuing to lose my belly that was almost immovable before, and to give it some coconut oil, and sometimes olive oil. I lost about 30 pregnancy pounds and never yet got stretch marks --used a lot of cocoa butter. (mmm)Strangley, the only stretch marks I have are on one hip (!!!), from losing a lot of weight when I was fourteeen.
