I'm starting the Master Cleanse today and doing it through until the 8th. This should be interesting.

What does that involve?

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

so far i've had 32 oz of warm salt water to start. for the rest of the time, i'll have this mixture: 2 tbsp lemon or lime juice (about a half lemon or lime), 2 tbsp pur grade B maple syrup, 1/10 tsp cayenne pepper (red) or to taste, and 12 oz of purified water (very warm). and that's it! you can double the recipe and drink it all day long, but that's all. i'm doing it for 12 days, but supposedly you can do it for up to 40 (i think that's just crazy). 10-14 days is doable for me.

Oh, I have done that, all I can say is OM. You will be amazed, and horrified. But I don't want to give away the ending.

Important thing is to ween yourself back onto solids, cuz your system will NOT be ready for complex stuff

what worked for you coming back onto solid food?

Interesting. What is this supposed to do for you?

>> dissolve and eliminate toxins and congestion in any part of your body
>> cleanse kidneys and digestive system
>> purify glands and cells
>> eliminate unusable waste and hardened material in the joints and muscles
>> help build a healthy blood stream
>> help relieve pressure and irritation in nerves, arteries, and blood vessels

Really? I've heard about these cleansing things before, but was never really sure what to make of them. They seem like they could work, but it also seems like you could lose a lot of muscle mass in the process. Especially if you're exercising at the same time. Have you done this before? Are there any guidelines as to what types of activity your supposed to do, and/or stay away from?

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

that was a risk i anticipated because i don't have a lot of muscle mass. there are whole books on what to do/not to do during the cleanse. personally, i'm going to cut back on excercise because i figure i might be running low on energy.
