The Master Cleanse book last night, trying to ammend some things to fit my present needs and lifestyle. MSM, vitamin C, plus the B vitamins and minerals my doctor recommends are things I do not want to give up even for 10 days.

I think this is much better than daily use of stimulant laxatives, even herbal ones. I am growing more leary of the salt water flush too. I have done many of them, but they are not always sucessful, and a few times have left me feeling quite ill. The more I learn about body chemistry, the less good I feel about doing this every day.
