Hi everyone! I’ve done several HC gallbladder cleanses in the past and they’ve been wonderfully successful. It’s been about 9-12 months since my last one, and I’ve had three nights in a row with attacks. The first night I just suffered through it, because we didn’t have any epsom salts in the house. The second night (after getting the salts) I took some and they helped. Tonight I have taken 3 doses of the salts with no relief (about 1-2tsp in 6oz warm water). Any suggestions? I don’t have the grapefruit on hand to do the HC cleanse, so I’m looking for some relief until I get ...

I might suggest trying an Aspirin mask next time you run into some break-outs. It doesn’t stay on your skin very long (10 minutes or so - more, if you feel comfortable while cleansing). It is like a mini something-peel (I can NEVER remember those names). What I do: Put 4 uncoated (or micro-coated) Aspirins (actual Bayer-type) in a spoon, and add 4-5 drops of water on top of them. Wait 15 seconds, until the water is apsorbed. Dump in a cup (or small bowl) and add in 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix thoroughly, so the aspirin break up into bits. Apply to your face (I recommend ...

I missed the fellow in question, but I would have one question for him.... was he TRYING to kill himself? If he was angry because he didn’t die from breaking the fast incorrectly, did that mean that he wanted it to be like the book, and he wanted it to harm him? How odd! Thank you for your blog - it is an inspiration!! Thank you for being open and honest. Don’t feel guilty about ’airing your dirty laundry’. This is YOUR blog, and that’s what Blogs are for! If someone is upset, they can chose not to read it. I, on the other hand, am thoroughly enjoying your blog. Thanks again!   [End]

I wanted to also thank you for those words! Both my husband and I are very sensitive (I’ve had numerous people call me an Empath) to other’s moods, and tend to take things personally. Like Peanut, I’ll print this out and put it next to my computer, so I can remember it each time I get upset! Thanks again!   [End]

I’m glad that you had an overall positive experience while fasting - that’s awesome!!!! If you’re looking for some more places to ask questions, etc, check out the Yahoo group at: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/mastercleanse/ People regularly post their daily blogs and ask questions, and there is a lot of feedback and support. I know what you mean about the meat and feeling guilty for eating it, or envious of vegetarians! We have some vegetarian friends, and there have been plenty of times (when we’re not eating with them, too) that I just look at the hunk of meat on ...

Glad that you are still enthusiastic about the fast! I was going to comment on your last post (days 16-18 I think, or 17-19), but I’ll lump them both into one! From what you’ve described your drinking nights in the past, I think ’only’ having 5 beers is a great step. Yes, you drank, but (I think?) in smaller quantity than before!!! Celebrate that (just not with more alcohol)! Can you post/describe your favorite juicing recipes? I am interested in trying it, but am afraid of the cost as well. I live in Missouri (not THAT far from you!), and we have fruit/veggie stands all over (a pi ...

You’re doing awesome!!! I’m very glad to hear that you’ve decided to do 30 days. You’ve slipped up, but that’s part of battling an addiction. It can only make you stronger, and now you KNOW that you CAN be without alcohol for periods of time. I know you’ve said that you feel hungry while doing the Master Cleanse days, but I believe that’s because with the Master Cleanse (MC), you can’t do it day-by-day like a fast, it’s a gradual process with a specific ’recipe’ (using cayenne, lemon juice, and water). If you ever want to try the whole Master Cleanse as a ’fast’ by itself, there is a ...

I agree with FinallyFaith.... Perhaps with other guests around, she will bite her tongue as well! So far you’ve had a rough journey, but things just work out for you! Go for it!!! Get your independance back - you don’t want to give her the power to control your behavior like that!   [End]
