i also look forward to bedtime, which comes earlier now for me. this fast makes me really tired and kind of weak. i think it's the detox. today i was hungry, but i had extra lemonade and that helped. networking with other people fasting is my greatest help right now. i don't think i ever would have gotten this far alone. how long are you going to do this cleanse? i'm going for 21 days.

i am on day 5 now! i'm feeling tired in the afternoons, but generally much more energetic than i expected to having not eaten for days now. the salt flush is not bad now. i read more about them, got my ratios of salt/water right, and am having a much easier time. i actually couldn't imagine not doing them now that i see all the yuk that was in me and coming out after i flush. i'm out of syrup

hi pam- i agree, in fact i was just thinking that today about not having food. when i think of all the energy and effort involved in deciding what to eat, preparing it, eating it, cleaning up afterwards....it's like i'm so free. my husband has been sort of fending for himself for the most part, and i am making simple things for my daughter. it really is a blessing that i can just have this tim

hi mel, i'm so sorry i don't have an olive source for you, but i saw that no one was responding to your request and wanted to say that i, too, love raw olives. i'm in the middle of a fast right now, but later i would love to enjoy some. i'll follow the thread and hope someone has a good source to share. marsh

396. Re: master cleanse

i can't believe all the extra energy i have. even though i feel the detox happening, i have more energy than when i started, and i was drinking coffee or tea. this energy feels so much clearer and better than the "fake" jittery lift of caffeine. it feels so good to clean out my body and mind. i think i feel better than i look, though- my eyes have the biggest, darkest circles under them

397. Re: master cleanse

i just got some really good support on the master cleanse board, so i am going to continue with the dreaded salt flush. i think i've been using too much salt because i wasn't measuring it properly. i was just taking a teaspoon out of the silverware drawer (not a measuring spoon) and using two big heaps in the 32 oz of water. they say to use two LEVEL teaspoons with a measuring spoon. i compar

day three and i'm still going strong. the salt water flush and i just do not get along very well. i did it again this morning with the celtic salt, and i could just barely get it down without gagging it back up. it took almost 3 hours to eliminate it, during which time i felt so sick and nauseated. they say you can just have the tea in the eve and morning instead, and although it wouldn't have th

you are doing so great, pam, and thanks for the support. i am so committed, i am definitely going to keep going. i started with the tea, i had some last night. then this morning did the flush. my colon might be backing up a little since i'm only on day 2, so later today i'm going to do an enema to see if i can move things along faster in there. i'm just going to do it once, and then just let the

omg....wow this is my 2nd day, and that salt water flush this morning was so intense! i drank 32 os all in about 15min and then i felt sooo sick- headache, nausea, and i kept thinking 30 or 60 seconds and i'll be flushing this out.. but after 30 min, i barely flushed ay out, and then i threw up! over the next hour i must have had about 12-15 liquid @#$%&. sorry to be so blunt, but oh...now i am

i am so glad you're doing well, pam. and i'm glad you're still fasting since i've just started today! i'm really going to try and go until my toungue turns pink. in the past, i've never fasted long enough to really "finish." even though we are really never "done", i want this cleanse to get deep into my body, and move out some old stuff i know must be buried because i jus

hi pam, i'm back in town now, but have a family thing to go to tomorrow, so will start the mc on sunday as planned. are you still fasting? i think your crying/thinking about past neg experiences was definitely a detox symptom. i think we carry "stuff"- like memories and things in the cells of our bodies. i hope you are feeling better. my diet has been so much less than perfect thi

good job purenkind! my ideas are so similar to yours, pam... my last fast was a wheatgrass fast last year. i felt sooo good afterwards. and i am also seeking some balance and control with my life, and eating, too, and for me, a good fast gets me on track for many months. i don't have the dicipline the other raw fooders have to just have my diet be so pure that it alone is my detox. i love a

maybe i should use the smooth move tea also. is that the name of it? is it easy to find? about the fiber/roughage: i totally agree with the doctor you mentioned, and in fact this will be the only fast i have ever done without psyllium and bentonite clay. but i've read alot about the master cleanse, and they say that without the fiber moving through, the body gets a chance to go into a deeper c

hi pampam, i wish i could start right now, but i have to go out of town with my family until sat, so i'll start on sun. how long are you going to stay on it? i'm aiming for 10 days minimum. i'd like to go until my toungue turns pink (which is when they say you are all cleaned out), but i'm going to listen to my body to see when i should break the fast. i actually think the mc is a great alt

hi veggiefreak- i'm going to start the master cleanse in a few days. i've done several different cleanses in the past, but have never done this one. it's simplicity is very appealing to me, and so many people have benefitted from it. i would love to find some cleansing buddies to help me with mine, i'm going to begin when i get back in town on sunday or monday. good luck to you whateve

hi ashleekanaan- i'm going to start the master cleanse in a few days, and i'm hoping to find some other people who are also cleansing so i feel like i have some company and support. you may just be finishing up as i'm beginning, but would love to support you if you'd like. in response to your question about fruit, i think fruit fasting might just "feed" the candida, not sure thoug
