Re: Questions from a newbie about the MC.

Hi Perry! Welcome! Let's see if I can answer your questions. :)

*1. It says to drink half my weight in oz. I weigh 190 lbs, but I couldn't figure out how to convert 95 lbs to fl oz, only oz. Is there a formula I could use?
>> You want to drink at a minimum 95 ounces of water per day.

*2. Does that include all the water used in the Salt Water Flush and lemonade drinks?
>> No, the 1/2 your weight in ounces water is not including the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) and lemonade water. You need all the water you can get to help flush out all of the toxins that the lemons and cayenne will be helping to clean out of your system.

*3. Is 40 days the longest a person should be taking a Salt Water Flush?
>> If you are asking if you can continue doing the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) after you finish the MC, it is not recommended. You need to work on getting your bowels to move on their own. Using the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) is not helpful long term. It can be used from time to time to flush your system.

*4. Is there a need to any other flush recipe if you do the MC? (ex: liver flush, kidney flush, etc) I'm currently just doing the Salt Water Flush with some colon cleansing products. Next week I plan to do a 10 day MC.
>> At the top of the forum, you will see a note that suggests that you do a Liver Flush prior to and after the MC. While doing the MC, your liver is not producing much bile and can actually form stones. I would highly recommend the liver flush.

You shouldn't do any other types of cleanses while on the Master-Cleanse (definitley not on your first time - if you want to experiment later, then feel free). Let your first time be the simple Master-Cleanse so that you'll know what it feels like and what it does.

*5. I was diagnosed with having too many anti-bodies that attack my thyroid, thus giving me (mild) thyroid trouble. Could this fast rid my body of the excess antibodies?
>> It is possible that it could fix your problem. It may take more than 1 Master-Cleanse to fix it though. Don't expect miracles. It has taken years for the issue to manifest itself, so it's going to take some time for it to work itself out once you start treating your body respectfully (good food and cleansing).

*6. How many cups of lemonade should I drink each day?
>> The book suggests 6-12 10 ounce glasses of lemonade each day. Don't try to skimp on this amount. Stay toward the higher end - even if you are trying to lose weight. I find that the first few days I need to drink more than toward the end. It helps to stave of hunger!! So I'll drink close to 12 glasses/day for 3-4 days and then somewhere around 8 the rest of the time.

Good luck to you! And keep asking questions!!
