Blessed Herbs Cleanse over Easter

[Alba]

I just purchased the blessed herbs colon cleansing kit from blessedherbs.com - I read that at least two others had done the same...Elisabeth and Fussypeach:p
Do any of you lovely ladies care to team up with me, tracking experiences and progress as we initiate our cleanse - 'till the end(i knooow)result comes out *cough cough*?
I'd love to have some support while doing it, since I never really fasted before - also, I don't drink fruit juices (too high in sugar for me) and I read that you are supposed to fast on applejuice for five days - do your reckon fasting on veggiejuices and maybe diluted grapefruit juice would be ok?
Hope you'll hop in - can't wait to get all cleaned up for summertime:D

Hi Alba,

I am definitely doing it, although I am not sure what date I will start on. I still need to order it and will likely order it tomorrow evening. Do you know what date you will begin? Also, how long is the cleanse? I have off from school from March 30th through April 8..so, I will fit it into that space...

I am glad you are doing it too. It will be fun to do it with someone else!! :D

[Yammy]

Has anyone done the internal cleansing kit? I would like to do the colon cleanse with you, but I am wondering if it'd be worth it to go for the 21 day detox as well?

[Elizabeth]

Hi Yammy,

I have not done it before, but I have read a lot about it, and think it looks like a good program.
You probably already know that they have that special going now..where you get the colon cleanse for free if you buy the internal cleanse kit. If I could afford it, I would do it, for sure. I was trying to figure out a way that i could do both, but cannot manage it right now. I am excited about the colon one..I know that I need that one. I can feel tenderness and fullness in my intestines..even though I have not been eating solids for 18 days..there is definitely some buildup being loosened already.... I want to finish the job..LOL...

Have a great evening.. :-)

[Alba]

Hi girls!

I spend a lot of time reading about different colon cleansing programs on curezone.com yesterday and there is absolutel NO DOUBT that BH is the best...almost everyone has gotten amazing results...
The thing I found most interesting is how poeple's skin tend to get a million times better after they've done it (and these are people whi have done like 14 liver flushes and eat alkaline etc)!!
It sounds really easy peasy and even though I am not big on the fasting, it seems that the fibers you drink help to keep you full.
Also I learned that if you have candida and cannot tolerate fruitjuices you can fast on veggiejuices and dilluted ACV sooo I'll just do that
CAN*T WAIT
:D

Hey Alba and Elizabeth-

I am so excited that someone else will be doing the colon cleanse! I also researched a ton of cleanses online, and blessed herbs looked like the best choice.

I wanted to do my colon cleanse over the Easter break. Now I am not sure exactly when I will do the cleanse because I teach elementary school, and we only get 2 days off for this break. Do you think this will be enough time for me to rest and cleanse myself?

So great that we are all getting the yuckies out of our colons!!

[Fuzzypeach]

I realize that this is an 8 day fast/cleanse, but maybe I would only need to take it easy and rest for a few days??

[Elizabeth]

Here is a link to the pdf of the user's guide to the blessed herbs colon cleanse. They recommend a five day fast with the eight day program...

http://www.blessedherbs.com/colon_cleansing_users_guide.pdf

the only actual products you get are the 30 doses of bentonite etc. and the digestive stimulant. I think I am going to get them separately, and use my own jar..lol..and print out the guide for myslef. I am going to get my bentonite from the hfs, i think and maybe my digestant stimulant from Blessedherbs. I am still looking at ingredients and thinking of the least expensive way of doing it. But..i am in for the cleanse, and expect to begin it on March 30th. I just read in the user's guide that some people do two in a row and that they see the bulk of the elimination on the 6-pth days... I think, since I will be getting the toxin absorber etc. separately, I might do it for longer also, since I will be fasting anyway..lol. Also, for those of you who are already fasting, the first 3 days of the cleanse are preparation, weaning off of solids, and adjusting the digestive stimulant levels. You might be able to start the toxin eliminator sooner and maximize the time spent on the cleanse..



see you all then!!! BTW..are we going to post photos? I will, if you will!!!;)

[Elizabeth]

You all...I am going to go ahead and start on this Friday and then I will likely do it for longer than one 9 day cycle..probably two. I read on the Blessed site that people do it twice in a row and get a lot of benefit from it. I have to start earlier because I need the structure..lol.. the little squares to check off each time I drink my yummy clay... :p

I will post on how it is going..and what "results" I get. No one has responded to my offer to share pictures>>LOL>> too much info., I guess!!!! :eek:

anyhoo....I am looking forward to it..and want to just get to it and DO IT!!!!

YEAH!!!! GO COLON CLEANSERS!!!!

hehehehehehehehehhehehehehheheheheheh.....:D I am going a little berserk..It is the spring fever...

[Elizabeth]

I got the Sonne #7 bentonite and super colon cleanse herbal.psyllium capsules. I am going to start tomorrow..and hopefully, still be on it when you all(whoever is doing it) start over easter.. :-)

I feel like I need the structure..and am looking forward to it. Still..no one has responded concerning the pics..LOL..

;)

[Alba]

Wooohooooo...!
I just received my kit - surpricingly stylish and fancy-looking btw. and will be doing it when I return from London and France on the 2. of April - I will fast all day that day and start counting five days from the day after that...! so I'll be done on the 8. of April...whoooot!!
I miiiiiight share pics...if I get any results...if they're not tooo gross...ugh (I hope they are *lol*) I wan't grosss!!
I can't wait to hear your results!

Love alba

[Yammy]

I can't believe I have no idea when easter is... but I just got my kit in the mail, and I'm going to start on April 1st. So excited. I generally need strict guidelines to accomplish things like this, and buying the kit really clinches the whole juice fast thing for me. Lately I've been juicing half the day, and eating half the day. I am excited to get into a 100% fast.

[Elizabeth]

I am beginning tomorrow morning. Just drank my tea to make sure my colon is empty as soon as possible.. :-) I found a page with a lot of links to colon cleansing related info./articles..and thought some of you all might be interested....

http://www.curezone.com/cleanse/enema/

it is not all about the enema..lol...but has also a lot of articles on different aspects of colon cleansing..like releasing emotional issues..and much more.. :-)

Have a lovely evening... :)

[Fuzzypeach]

;)

where did you get your bentonite and herbal psyllium capsules? what is the brand etc? I would love to go longer then the 8 days, but don't want to pay for another colon cleansing kit. I will post pictures if I get any results, I am skeptical that this will work for me as I have had sooooo many colon and constipation problems. Sorry it has taken me awhile to respond.

[SierraSage]

When I do psyllium/bentonite, I buy the Sonne brand #7 liquid bentonite (available at most all health food stores, as well as at VitaminShoppe.) Sonne also has its own brand of ground up psyllium seed hulls (#9)--so much better imo than than the unground hulls. VitaminShoppe sells their own version though at a much cheaper price.

My first introduction into psyllium/bentonite fasts was through, and by following, Dr. Bernard Jensen's book Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management. (I believe curezone.com has the whole book up on its site.) This was in 1983. I was incredibly sick with chronic fatigue syndrome at that time.

The first two fasts I did I pretty much took all the recommended products (vitamins, minerals, etc) in Jensen's book. (I did six or seven 7-10 day fasts in a 7 month time period, eating 100% simple raw in between. It took that long to cure myself; and cure myself I did!) The rest of the fasts I just did ONLY the psyllium/bentonite. Nothing else. I got the EXACT SAME RESULTS. That told me straight up that I didn't need to waste my money on any other products.

The mucoid plaque pics we've all seen -- I released gallons & gallons & gallons of the stuff, DAILY--with just the psyllium/bentonite. AND with 1-3 times weekly colonics, and enemas on the other days. I even went to Dr. Bernard Jensen's fasting clinic one time in Escondido (when he was still alive) for a "controlled" 7 day fast. (Over a dozen people there.) We used the colema board for enemas; twice daily--morning & evening.

I fasted so much, worked so hard at it, all because I did not want to be sick. I worked hard at getting rid of all the built up mucous & blackened, hardened mucoid plaque in me. It was a lifetime of build up. In those 7 months I cured myself--completely & totally.

I've fasted a zillion times over the years since then with only marginal amounts of mucoid plaque being released. Now there seems to be none left. I managed to get it all out!! And all this WITHOUT spending outrageous sums of money on those touted *needed* colon cleansing herbal products other than plain old (inexpensive!!) psyllium & bentonite.

Just my 2 cents on this issue. Not sure if I'd personally trust pysllium capsules, btw. I'd feel much more comfortable knowing I was taking the correct dosage to "get the job done." (Just from my personal experience.) With the ground up psyllium hulls it's 1 tsp per dose; with the unground hulls it's 1 tablespoon per dose.

Again-- this is my 2 cents worth, my personal experience with it all. For what it's worth.

[SierraSage]

Oh whoops!!! I realize here that you are all doing the BH cleanse--that that's what this thread is about. My APOLOGIES!! I thought this was partly *Serendipity's* post below--the one where's she's asking which herbal products are the best. :o I'd meant to reply to that, but then the question of where to buy psyllium/bentonite came up here, so I went on. (And on.)

Again... my apologies!! Happy BH fasting to you all! May the mucoid plaque pour out! :)

[Elizabeth]

to post on this thread... I did not start it..but, we all seem like friendly people here.. :-) I think it is really about colon cleansing..not only the BH one...but, if anyone minds, I guess we could start another thread about colon cleansing in general. :) I was going to use the Blessed kit, but when I tried to order online, my card would not work..and I NEVER GOT AROUND TO CALLING. :o Then..i wanted to start..and also maybe do it for longer, without buying multiple kits, so I got the stuff from the hfs. I am using the Gaylord Hauser herbal laxative, the Sonne #7 bentonite, and "Health Plus" Super Colon Cleanse Psyllium and herbal formula. I have enough stuff to go for about 15-20 days.

Today I fasted except for some raw pickle I ate and puked 'cause it made me sick.. :( I thought it would settle my stomach with the beneficial bacteria..but..LOL..it did not. I had some canteloupe juice and a little kombucha also. (did not puke) I did coffee e's for migraine..and am feeling a little better. I am up in the middle of the night, though, which is not too cool....

That will teach me to go off my fast. I started my period today..hmmm..the same day my cravings seem to have abated. I went off my fast for @ days 20-27 of my cycle. I want to look at a chart of the hormonal fluctuations on those days...

next month I am not going to give in to them..LOL...

:o

well..I should try to sleep some more...

I went to my local herb shop and bought the blessed herbs colon cleansing kit. I'm glad I went to Andrea (my herbalist) because she threw in a bunch of freebies I wouldn't have gotten ordering online (digestive enzymes and probiotic for afterwards). In a way, I want to do the 9 day cleanse before Easter to follow up with my 3-day spring clean colonics I had about two weeks ago. I know that having those colonics 3 days in a row has helped me tremendously with my sluggish bowels. I am on a "move" now and so I think the Blessed Herbs will help to eliminate matter that has been loosened by the colonics as well as getting rid of more junk. The only thing about my fast is that I am going to miss my veggies. It's strange, I didn't think I'd hear myself not wanting to do something because I won't get to eat vegetables. I'm going to reflect on it some more. I'll probably start this week. I have to clean out my fridge first though- gotta eat up those veggies and fruits so I don't waste food. I'm only doing the 9 day because I just recently did the colonics 3 consecutive days in a row and I know I probably lost a lot of good bacteria during all that cleansing. Keep me posted about how you are doing for the people who've already started.

SierraSage-
I have used the Sonne products and boy do they work. For me, it was always subtle. I thought 'there's nothing going on here' and then lo and behold my tummy became somewhat bloated and later boy oh boy (I thought I broke my toilet:D ) what a movement!

Hey SierraSage- Thanks for your post. You are welcome here anytime! It is great to hear other people's experiences. I am going to do the BH colon cleanse, but would like to lengthen it for an extra week or two, but don't want to spend the extra money on another colon cleanse kit, so your post was greatly appreciated!!

Join us anytime!

I have had a bad migraine for the last few days, and have not started on the psyllium and Bentonite drinks yet. I have been basically fasting on mainly water, a little canteloupe and wheatgrass juice. I had a few dates and pecans yesterday. I had started thinking about whether concentrated protein would stop my detox and help me feel more comfortable, so I thought it was better to eat the raw dates and nuts than risk eating cooked. (Now if I can only remember that moment in the future..LOL)

I will be starting the "shakes" LOL..at least by Friday or Sat. I was wondering when you all will be starting, as I have some flexibility and would love it if we were kind of doing it at the same time, to compare "results."

I have been thinking of adding a parasite cleanse to my regime. Probably the "paragone" one. When I was a kid I know had pinworms, and was never treated..(was too afraid to tell parents..) I imagine there are other creepy crawlies also, by now..:eek: Might as well get it all out at once..so I know some worm, etc., is not living off my expensive organics......

:o

Did anyone complete their cleanse that posted on here? If so, tell us about your experiences and your "releases"

I completed the Blessed Herbs cleanse. Whooooo!! Let's see. I came down with severe, flu-like symptoms for a few days. And my release was disgusting. I think several aliens came out of me. :) But I felt amazing after.

[Conscious Midwife]

HEY ELISABETH

It's funny how things come full circle.;)

Hope I'm welcome here

I'm doing a EASTER CLEANSE OF SORTS

Lets just say I'll be saying a prayer and blessing over a warm cup of SENNA HERBS! Plus an all day fast and lots of meditation

PEACE

[lavendarJ]

Aliens -

sounds like a real experiece. I'm disappointed because I haven't had the results I wanted - wanted to see more of a release. Maybe not aliens:D but something more than what I've had so far.

I will be finished in two day if I continue. I'm hungry and craving some lasagna. I guess I might as well finish this out

[Ertarox]

I am Day THREE of the fast right now and am already "releasing". I love this cleanse and will do it again. I want to do the 21 day cleanse but I want to do their parasite cleanse and this one again already. LOL! I love it. Easter is my LAST day. Then I move on to the liver, then kidney. 18 days total. :-)

Lavendar,

I've read in their materials that some people don't release until up to 8 days after they finish the fast. Especially when your system is backed up or your colon is especially impacted, it may take a bit longer. Are you drinking enough water? I drank tons along with that lovely apple juice concoction.

[Eva]

I realize this is an old thread...

But I recently got the BH cleanse, stopped dead in my tracks when I discovered dextrose added to the main ingredients.

Now I'm in the middle of the cleanse and annoyed.

Am I overreacting?

Any additional thoughts on this cleanse??
