What I do --

-Will my period be effected while on the MC?

This is my 3rd cleanse -- I've never noticed any difference.

-Is it okay to mix two or three doses of the lemonade mix in a big jug to bring to work? (also, how much will I need to bring with me for a 9 hour work day?)

I make up 64 oz (2 quarts) every morning and take it with me to work. I also work 9-10 hour days.

-Do I sip the lemonade all day or should I drink it as an entire glass at once?

I find it best to sip throughout the day. This keeps your blood Sugar level and you don't have to worry about when to drink. I make sure I'm at 30 oz. by noon at least.

-How long after the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) do you drink the lemonade mix?

I'm not a SWF-lusher. I do the lax tea morning and night.

-I haven't really prepared *that* much for the Master-Cleanse although I have stopped drinking coffee and eating red meat for the past day or so...will I still feel the positive effects of the Master-Cleanse or have I put myself at a disadvantage?

I've done it both ways and haven't felt a difference. I had a little binge on Tuesday at a party before starting the cleanse yesterday. Other than the usual headache, I feel about the same as before.

-I've read that you should make the lemonade mixture right before you drink it, but with my work schedule I don't think that's possible. Will I be losing out on a lot of the benefits if I drink it hours after it's made?

No worries as long as you drink it that day and don't let it sit overnight. I have a mini-fridge by my desk that I keep it in. A little tip for you - keep it cold and never add pepper to the aid that stays in the fridge. If pepper sits in your drink too long it gets hotter. What I do is take a bit of pepper, put it on my tongue, and take a swig. I learned pepper in the drink is a no-no for me.

Best of luck!
