I have found that drinking some freshly squeezed wheat grass juice when I get up in the morning, does not interfere with the cleanse but only helps it to get rid of these aches and pains at the same time whilst detoxing.   [End]

Just wondering, What is the exact purpose of using this grade B or C maple syrup? I know it is for the calories and energy, but is it also for the nutrients it may contain (because it’s tree sap, ’n all)? Or is there some cleansing value to it? Maple syrup is processed too, maybe as much as cane juice. It takes forty gallons of maple sap to make one gallon of syrup! And since they boil the heck out of it, isn’t it quite different when it’s done? Please respond-- I’m a newbie! Sunshine   [End]

(Markus, you and I are on the same day of the fast! Except you are in Germany, so your time is different. ) Hello, Everyone! This is my second day on the cleanse. It’s late afternoon and I am feeling pretty low on energy. I felt this way yesterday at this time, so I think I will need to brace myself for this everyday. I think if I know to expect this slump, then I can mentally prepare myself for it. I may end up visiting this site every afternoon, just so I glean some encouragement from you all.

Hello Everyone, I’m new to this forum. Today is my first day of the MasterCleanse (lemonade diet), and so far everything seems to be fine. I’ve never done a cleanse of any kind before, but a close friend whom I really trust just did this. She had such good results for weightloss and energy-boost, that she shared it all with me. So now I’m doing it. I’m nervous, but nothing ventured- nothing gained, right? I have already gained a lot of knowledge just reading your previous entries, everyone. But, I am wondering: Is it pretty normal to have heartburn after taking the cayenne? What ...

If you are interested in keeping the weight off, then I suggest you make a committment to not going back to bread, etc or junk. When I did my Master Cleanse I lost weight and managed to retain it without putting a pound on until I started to eat junk. Stanley Burroughs explains very clearly in his little booklet the Master Cleanse, how to come off of this regime. Best of luck to you and happy Christmas.   [End]

It really is so individual, but I realize it offers encouragement to hear at the same time. That was a year ago around 25 pounds.

I’ve been having my doubts about whether candida was my problem because I didn’t have a lot of the main symptoms, such as digestive problems. Also, I’ve been on a strict diet and extensive medication for 6-8 weeks with no results. Yesterday I received my blood work results and it showed NO fungus present. What a relief!! So, now I just have to deal with eczema, which still isn’t a picnic, since mine has spread all over my very upper body. (scalp, face, lips, ear, neck, hands) But I’m going to the best dermatologist in Georgia this afternoon, so I’ve got a good feeling.   [End]

Everything I’ve read says lemons are good. They have a high level of acidity, which is good for candida sufferers, since yeast love an acid-free environment.

I’m sorry to hear about all that you’ve been going through. Candida can not cause an infection, an infection is caused by a foreign organism. Good news is, Chlamydia is curable. Bad news, it’s a bacterial infection and must be treated with antibiotics. Your candida was parted caused by taking antibiotics for bronchitis. Unfortunately, once you have candida, it can cause upper respiratory problems. Hope everything starts to pick up and your new doctors are helpful.   [End]
