Anxious: looking for support
I am sending out this SOS to more than one board, in hopes of finding some support in the next hour or so. I really am becoming frightened, and don't know who to talk to.
I am on
The Master Cleanse diet. Never fasted before. My regular diet is ok. I tend to eat too many sweets and bread. I needed to clean up my diet, quit smoking, and stop drinking coffee. The M.C sounded like the way to do it. I am on day 3. It has been a difficult journey. I think I can do it, but have started to worrry (yes, 3 "r's" worth) that I am not moving enough out of my system - and may become toxic. And worst of all be doing more damage to my body than good. I am 50 plus....maybe this is a bit extreme for me. Burroughs says that you need two movements a day. I have not had "movements", at least not in the traditional sense. It is mostly water and a tiny bit of ecal matter - but certainly not a bowel movement. Is this normal? Or should I start drinking juices, like carrot, celery, beet, apple...and get off this cleanse. I am really getting scared, which can't be good for my system. I need some advice as soon as possible. My anxiety level is reaching a peak. Please help! MM
