I am a bit confused about some of the responses on this thread. It is impossible for me to eliminate without the SWF. I tried and failed so I went back to it...begrudgingly. However, it seems some people just do the Master-Cleanse and are still able to eliminate waste. Is that the case? And if you do not eliminate waste isn't that a problem. By the way this is my 4th cleanse and I am on day 4. After my 3rd 10 day cleanse in February I was eliminating on a regular basis. I attribute this to really following the book and doing the OJ and soup on schedule.
