I am planning to start mc tomorrow, and I am going to take 12 gel caps with sea salt in it instead of doing the actual drink or the laxative tea. I read a post of someone named chicaluvs and I think it will be easier that way, what do you think? I am just concerned because 12 gel caps seems excessive.

Although the article was nice, the recipe for the lemonade doesn't specify for a new person that the maple syrup need be organic and Grade B. That the water be purified or spring and have no fluoride, and that the lemon or lime juice be from fresh lemons or limes. So unless someone buys the book or reads these boards and only follows the recipe on Beyonce's news bulletin, they may fail.

I am on my third day of my diet. I feel great so far and hoping to go for 10 days and follow with the colon cleanse. I did not find the grade b maple so I am using the grade a. This is my first time doing the diet and I am looking forward to the cleansing and losing 20 pounds. Can you also exercise while on diet. Just my sharing. |

Hello All, I started my master cleanse yesterday. This is my first time doing the master cleanse. The lemonade was good, but I put to much cayenne pepper in the first batch but I did not mind the kick it gave me and I had a lot of energy. The first day was good, not hungry at all, a slight headache but nothing major. This morning on the other hand when I did the first sea salt flush was awful. I think I used too much salt, I add more salt thinking I wanted it to be a little strong to really make the flush work. WRONG! It was the nastiest awful drink I had ever drunk. I could barely get it all down and on the last swallow it came back up. If you think it is bad going down, think about how that salt irritates your throat when it comes back up. I was miserable. After cleaning up and brushing my teeth, I had to lie down for 30 minutes and than start the day. I think I will try sticking to the 2 teaspoons of sea salt and see how that works. If I throw up again I will just do the laxative tea in the mornings and evenings instead.
I am also doing some little modifications to the master cleanse. I am also using Colonix (A great colon cleanse product) in conjunction with the master cleanse. It has the pills to kill parasite, it has an herbal fiber mixture that helps with not having everything flow around in my intestines, for a health heart, and helps kill the hunger, last it has a herbal tea to drink at night to help it all move out in the morning. The tea has senna in it. I am also taking my herbal vitamins, my calcium (Calmax), and my Calm (Magnesium) so my body is not complete depleted of everything it need. The Calmax and Calm gives you the calcium and magnesium your body needs and has a lot of other benefits, but the best part is that it helps to relax and sleep at night. This will make it easier to do my goal 30 days.
The only other problem is I will need to find something to keep my breath fresh. I brush my teeth like three times this morning, but that will only last for so long. Talk to you later and have a great day J. |

You should not take salt capsules. The salt is supposed to be evenly distributed in the water so it weighs the same as blood. This makes the salt water flush actually flush through your body properly. If you read the books, they say do not use capsules of anything (unless it is necessary medication-talk to your doctor) because the casing is made out of gelatin which is hard for your body to digest.
I just started the diet yesterday so I've read all about it from the books. They explain everything including the damage it can do when not done correctly. They're a real easy read, so if you do this diet, definitely get them!
I'm planning on going for at least 20 days, but Thanksgiving is around the corner.... |

it sounds as though everyone has had good luck with the cleans. I will start this weekend kinda scared. no food and all. I have about 60 lbs to loose I hope this is the answer as I have tried so many other ways and none really helped. Has anyone out there lost more then 50 lbs on this and how long did it take. |

Wow... I never thought of drinking the SWF with a straw! Thats a great idea because bypassing the tongue would be amazing. My taste buds are very sensitive at the moment on Day 2. I have been avoiding the swf but now I will try.
THANKS!!

I'm starting today. I was just going to do 3 days. But now I want to do 10 day. Earlier this year I did 7 days..I lost some weight and I was doing 20 mins. cardio everyday and did not feel any different. However today, I want some coffee. I keep getting a cup and I take 2 sips then I want to throw it away. I think that after the last cleanse, I lost the craving for coffee. Hmmm? I heat up my MC lemonade...it tastes good. My goal is to lose 10 lbs. Wish me luck.

Good luck babyweight! I'm starting the cleanse tomorrow for ten days. I was craving ice cream all day, but didn't have any. I did the cleanse five years ago, so I'm hoping I can hang in there without falling off the wagon and landing in Ben & Jerry's ice cream parlor.   |

The salt water is making me sick. This day four of my diet(i'm so proud of my self!) but I have only had lose bowel movements and definitely not a flush. I am taking the herbal tea at night and the salt water in the morning on a empty stomach. I'm using the celtic salt and 1 to 2 teaspoons. Yesterday I threw up the salt water as soon as I took. I gave it another shot today, I took it the way vegeman suggested in another article, I took it like a shot with 2 teasppons and a few oz of water then chased it down with probably 16 oz more.. I would have immediately threw up if I took more than that. I tried hard to keep it down, I layed on my right side and dealt with the pain and then I threw up very harshly. I will not take the salt water flush ever again!! Last night, however, I took the herbal laxative with 3 bags instead of one and it worked.. I could hear and feel it working but still no flush just liquid stuff and a couple of small solids. I know that there are probably all types of toxin and mucous wrapped around my body and I want to see them come out. I'm not sure if I lost weight either, even if I did it would probably only be water weight, right?
