black walnut hulls and cloves

They're anti-parasite. I don't have a lot of that stuff in me, not compared to tales I've heard, but everyone has some. So the bloating (and some headaches) are, in fact, because I'm not releasing the toxins quite fast enough. One good GOOD poop every morning!

Some people do the paragone or other similar purchased programs, and they work well also. I usually do pumpkin seeds with the cloves and walnut hulls, but of course not on the MC! And I do that on a constant (maintenance) basis, which I learned about from Hopinso on this forum back in september when I first did the MC.

The B&P shakes are VERY beneficial, because nothing quite works as well as the bentonite for cleaning the colon (except some of the pill programs such as Dr. Schulze's). So if those aren't working for you, look into his intestinal cleansing formula's #1 and #2 as an alternative.

There ARE other ways to accomplish what the lemonade diet does - detox and internal cleaning. I haven't actually tried those because a side benefit I found of the MC was that it completely (and unplanned for) changed the kind of food I wanted to eat by the time I came off it. I craved veggies etc instead of cheese, eggs, meat.

Dr. Schulze has a thing here on curezone, but you can also find him at .... uh, well, I can't find his URL. Call 800-herb-doc and order his catalog and tape (free) and I'm sure they'll tell you the URL - might even be herbdoc.com or a google search will bring it up.

I do the SWF every other day. I really dislike it - the taste and everything. It takes me a few times to get more than 2/3 to 3/4 of it down without feeling like I'm going to puke. Personally, I don't fancy too much of the enema, epsom salt, SWF thing because I'd rather have it all occur naturally as opposed to forced, so to speak.

If you feel like you need to go off it, then do so. If you aren't in harmony with your body, you won't get too much benefit anyway. And if it didn't work for you too well (B&Ps, SWF or whatever) try another way of detoxing and cleansing. Or try the MC again later down the line. I don't know where you live, but it's MUCH MUCH easier in warm weather - you work WITH you body rather than against it.
