Re: joy: Modifying the cleanse?

It's not all black and white in the world.

I never said it's a traditional Master-Cleanse because clearly it's not. It is a combination juice fast/MC. It is just one of the hundreds of paths which lead to Rome.

The original poster asked for people to speak up about adaptations. This is an adaptation, which may or may not be to everyone's taste.

Life is about experimenting, about finding your own path. That is why I so dislike when people preach 'do it by the book' when some things clearly do not work for everyone. I didn't choose to be intolerant to a dozen or so food items. I do choose to change what does not suit me, so I can make it through the fast.

And THAT is precisely what the Master-Cleanse as well as other fasts are about. It is not about self-torture but it is about self-healing.
