What conclusion did you come to on the HONEY. I have always stuck to the book, and used Grade b or c maple syrup.

Day 7 - Feel great, 10 lbs lighter and interestingly, had a solid BM today....where did it come from? I did cheat alittle yesterday by sampling some OJ my kids were squeezin. I decided to take bentonite a couple of times today to assist in the detox and intestine cleansing.

Note: Bentonite is the only product known to remove plaque from the walls of the intestine and colon. The plaque in your stool will look like egg shells on the outside of the bentonite "gel." Bentonite works most effectively when the colon is empty of food. It grabs the plaque which has been loosened by the lemon juice and the resting/fasting process. The salt water enema pushes out the bentonite gel and the plaque and debris that is stuck to it and in it. The salt water further cleanses the walls as it passes through, resulting in shiny clean walls

I'll have to try the Bentonite later on in the fast....I decided to stick with the book and use Maple Syrup....even if what the author says about honey isn't true I thought I would stick to the energy that he intended for the cleanse.

Day 2: Surprisingly the salt water is not very difficult to drink, and we love the lemonade. Last night I was hungry but I think it was from the long run in the morning.....probably just burnt a lot of calories in the Arizona sun ;)

Yes they are....thank goodness, it makes it so much easier meeting in the kitchen in the morning to down our salt water cocktails hahah!....by the way i forgot to add that Whole Foods in Paradise Valley had a display in the produce section dedicated to the Master Cleanse (including the book, and all of the ingredients)......is this collective consciousness at work here?!

I am on day 2 and feel great. I did have a bad spell this morning but that is because I took pain med for a toothache. The dentist can't get me in until tomorrow morning. I am trying to tough it out without the pain meds. I am determined to do this cleanse. This site is so awesome! Tons of support!

Hey Kristin,
Thanks for the juice feasting website. I'm still reading it through and am intrigued.

Alexandra, someone on the rawfoodsite-MC message board said the same thing about a Whole Foods display about the Master Cleanse. It's great that it's getting so much play. That just means more readily available maple syrup. It can be a b%tch to find sometimes.

Keep it up with the cleanse. It's amazing what a difference a measly 10 days can make in the end.
I'm so excited people are using this site to support each other through the cleanse too. Awesome. I'll need this support during my May cleanse.

Day 8 - We feel great, we didn't have the headaches that we thought might come as part of the detox. Whenever we felt hungry we would drink the lemonade. We thought that since we eat pretty good anyway, that maybe we were having major effects.
We took the bentonite yesterday and didn't see much result but I had another SOLID BM. That is two days in a row. It makes me wonder where it is coming from? I imagined after 6 days of liquid BMs that I wouldn't see anthing solid until after the cleanse and normal eating resumed. Is this too much info. If you have any thoughts on this let me know. I didn't do the Salt Water Flush today. I do it every other day with smooth move tea on the off mornings.

Tongue went from coated white to a pink color today. Eyes seem whiter.

It's said with this cleanse that after going with liquids for a few days, the gunk in your intestines start coming off in layers and that must be some of the stuff that is coming out solid. I don't know how long you've been raw/vegan/healthy diet eaters but it's also said that many many years of a crap diet will stick to your insides and need a good chunk of time to eliminate. So solid BM's = Good.
I envy your pink tongue which is supposed to be the indication that you're "cleansed". I didn't get mine so I need more scrubbing.

You're almost done! Enjoy!

yes i have a freind
who was on a raw clean diet for 4 years and he did a 40 day fast and he was 27 years of age then
and on the 38th day he had a huge BM
so yes it is amazing how long junk sits in the intestines and how it clings on feeding the blood and body with waste.

so yes we all need much cleansing to truly feel vitality

love from vacnouver canada
and keep up the good work, i'm going to a yoga ashram in a week and i might just fast while i'm there! and do this MC.

thanks for sharing!
