Master Cleanse ~ Lemonade

[spaciechick1]

I not sure that I would be able to do this without you guys. So I know that you will both be done well before me but can you just check on me. I plan on posting each day.

Well Im not hungry. I enjoy the lemonade. I LOVE cayenne pepper. This mornings salt water flush was interesting. I didnt take him serious when he said "Dont go to far away from the bathroom.

Joan have fun. 4200??? Hope you got your walking shoes on but on the positive side your carrying 48.5lbs less. Thats a suitcase full of goodies.

Jen YES I want details. I wanna know what to expect in the next few days. Im having a working weekend too. We had some snow this week. 10" thats alot for us these days. Anyway we do commerical snow removal and our office is on the same property. So my house turns into Grand Central Station. Plus DS came home with 2 friends from college plus I have 2 at home so 5 16-20 year olds in my small house. with 2 dogs and 3 cats!!! Its a mess.

Joan I do have a question. I have HORRIBLE allergies ALL the time. Will this cleanse clear it up at all. I keep thinking of like parasites in my sinuses or something. They have been so bad I forget what it is like to breathe.

Kim - I walked probably 200 miles today!! Seriously the motel is about 1/2 mile from the convention center which is not that bad but I covered probably 2/3 of the exhibits and it only took 6 hours of constant walking!! I had good shoes but am more glad I brought MO for my sore feet!! I worked out this morning which helps before an event like this!! By time I left I think I was carrying about 20 pounds of literature & samples - good thing I was lighter!! I came across some interesting exhibitors - mostly I know I need to be one of them next year!! I may do the Boston show in the fall!

As for allergies, in the book Peter talks about the nose picking (his words, not mine!) and how it stopped during the cleanse. He attributed it to parasites but, while people will pick their nose when they have parasites, I tend to think this is just a sign of a mucusy system. I notice more dried nasal junk (pardon the description!!) but when I am on the cleanse, it goes away. After the last 2 cleanses it has stayed gone unless I eat something mucus forming. I had allergies for years and I think this is just one area where it is a problem for some. Of course, in that you will not be eating the things likely causing the allergy, you should do better when on the cleanse! Ideally, you will find more benefits while on the cleanse that you want to sustain afterward!!

As for your busy weekend - if you find yourself feeling hungry, drink water or more lemonade. The first 3 1/2 cleanses I drank 100 ounces every day. It was the last 1 1/2 cleanses that I reduced the amount of lemonade to about 64 ounces every day. I simply do not need as much anymore. But, when I have a craving day - I drink more to head off any failure!

Your energy should boom unless you happen to get a detox day - I hope not! I'll check in on you to see how you are doing! (btw - please answer your email.....)

Hope you're having a fabulous time Joan! Wow, that has got to be something, 4200 vendors? How do you choose? I have a feeling I'll be learning more soon

Thanks for the tips Joan! I was planning on the fresh oj afterwords but will for sure do it knowing how important it is. Really looking forward to homemade, fresh vegetable soup the 2nd evening . I'll be out of town at my mom's so I put in a request. She is insisting the beef will be much better than plain vegetable. Tried explaining but guess I'll just pick it out. That should be okay, hu?

How are you doing Kim? So excited for you!

Joan, any particular probiotic you recommend? I wasn't planning on that but will learn from you thank you!

No ceilings this weekend, my brother fell off a ladder and hurt his knee. Forced to clean my room and organize my homeschool area, darn!

awwwhh, enjoying a lemonade now while ending day 5, whoo-hoo , half way there! And wow, went from a few sprinkles of cayenne pepper day 1 to full dose if not a bit over. yumma!

OM Gosh, Joan. That might explain some weird things that have been happening. OKay, WARNING: here are some of those gross details so skip the rest of the post if you don't want to read it (figure some inquiring minds may want to know). Its not that bad but day 3 goop was coming up the throat like a cold. But no cold or other symptons. Then yesterday when I woke up, my nose ran clear like a cold for 2 hours then gone

The vibrating while really has me thrown for a loop. Have you ever heard anything like that Joan? weird...

[spaciechick1]

Joan did you try to email me??? If so was it at my kvolk one? My computer at work got a virus on it and locked me out of the internet. Im good now but try my spaciechick1@gmail.com. I would NEVER ignore an email from you,
your one of my favorite people to talk to. I love Boston only 5 hr. drive!

I had a really restless night sleep. I was hot than cold than hot. (you get the picture) When I woke up I felt sad almost in mourning. (weird) I lost 3 lb in one day thats crazy since I fast once a week anyway. Guess that wasnt water weight either

Im also less stuffy since I started the cleanse. I had 80oz of lemonade yesterday plus my prill water. So I feel pretty good. But I dont mind the salt waters taste but OMG its results are .

Jen I understand the humming

[JoanS MH]

Jen - I like the Country Life ones listed on the raw food site website but you can buy them cheaper elsewhere! These have specially formulated versions for day and night. These are a must for at LEAST a week - preferably more. There is a huge difference when I do these.

Also ending the cleanse - fresh OJ or Grapefruit juice, full strength or diluted - also a must. If you eat too quickly, you will hurt! Trust me - been there done that!! Hopefully you are learning what NOT to do from my experiences!!

As for the mucus - YEAH - BETTER OUT THAN IN! Should you get to day 10 and are having a detox sort of day do NOT quit that day - go one more to get all that junk out!

Sorry about your brother! Did you put MO on his knee??

The vibration is kind of weird - try walking barefoot in the grass before you go to bed if possible - you may have some static built up that is being stimulate by the cleanse... no clue!

Kim - there is one thing I failed to mention (another reason to journal your experiences). On my first cleanse (40 days) about day 15 I was so cold. This lasted for about 10 days and I could not imagine what was going on. I could not get warm - day or night. I finally found info on the cleanse forum that spoke of this happening to some people. It has never happened again but apparently for some there is a resetting of the body's internal thermostat! Works for me!! But at the time, it was weird.

The sad feeling (I am sorry) is that you have come to a layer of mucus that was formed at a sad time and once this is gone (tomorrow's salt water flush will take care of it) it will be one forever. The book "Feelings Buried Alive Never Die" addresses this. As we experience emotional events in our life we have 2 choices. Deal with them or ignore them FOR NOW. If we ignore them now, we will have to deal with them later - usually through illness as the body 'deposits' these events in various places in the body. This occurs with any sort of cleanses - as we clear different parts of the body physically, the emotional garbage goes too and we must work through the event again. So, look on this as a great thing - you will never have to deal with this one again!! Yeah!!

HANG IN THERE - YOU ARE BOTH DOING GREAT!!

I am off to get a bandaid for my blister - then 8 more hours of the Expo!!

[spaciechick1]

I meant vibration thing. I felt that last night but not today.

I have a killer head ache this afternoon. Cant be caffeine I was fine yesterday. I think I slept wrong last night well the sleep I did get anyway.

Poor Joans feet. Hope it was worth it and you gain tons of knowledge and new products to share with us.

[JoanS MH]

Kim, I finished the show and I have another testimonial for MO - BLISTERS!! Last night I was sure my entire foot would be a mess. I ended up this morning with one small blister!! Yeah for MO!

The show was good - I met Helena and she and her hubby are delightful!! I found a few new products that are very interesting - we'll see if they pan out as promised!! One company is using Palm oil mixed with Grade C Maple Syrup for the master cleanse revised. YUCK! IMO! In this case, I prefer the tried & true formula from the 1940's!! It was tolerable in a 1/2 ounce serving - a half gallon a day, no way.

There is also a product for removing old fecal matter (you're welcome) in 3 days that uses Wheat Grass. I should have mine in a week or so - I will definitely report on this one!! I love wheat grass and it's healing benefits are amazing!

Now I just have to get the luggage expander to get all the literature home!!

Kim - your headache will hopefully go away tomorrow. You had sinus drainage and thus some activity in your head! Be sure to rub the MO at the source & on your feet. As this is not going through the digestive tract, you are fine to use this!

[spaciechick1]

Joan I didnt even think about MO on my feet for my headache. Guess what though ITS GONE this morning and Im feeling pretty good. Now you get to go home and go through all that stuff. i have a friend who owns a health food store and she goes to the show Im thinking either NYC or Baltimore. I get bags of samples of things to try. If I like it she will start to carry it in the store.

I slept like a champ but too long. Im wondering if Im making church this morning I just got done my salt water and will need to be headed out the door in an hour. might be too dangerous.lol

Day 3 already!

[JoanS MH]

Kim, I am so glad you are doing better this morning. I know when I had detox experiences that went away the next day, it made it so much easier to continue through the next one. After all, OUR personal experiences are the best teachers!!

I am headed to the airport shortly - I'll check in with you tomorrow!! Cleanse on!
