Yes, that's basically what I did, I fasted for five days on fruit and veggie juices (store bought, as I don't have a juicer), with the occasional fruit or salad, and I averaged four p & b shakes a day (I tried do take them in between drinking juice, so they wouldn't interfere with digestion). At night I drank slim tea, which has senna in it, which did work to flush it all out in the morning. I did get lots of yucky stuff out, but nothing that I'd call black ropes. Right now I'm doing Colosan to further loosen stuff up, then I'll probably do the shakes again. I'm just amazed that people seem to instantly get stuff out with BH, but I'm stubborn, and I refuse to believe I can't figure it out myself! I definately feel healthier, and that's what counts...
