Day 10 - Starting Master Cleanse

Rate this Entry
Saturday, May 12th, 2007 - WOW! I never realized what a challenge it would be just to suck down an entire quart of warm salt water. ICK! But I did it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how long to wait after the salt water flush to drink your first glass of the lemonade? Interestingly, I am not hungry after drinking that. I am a little "anxious" about how my body is going to respond to this treatment, lol, but excited, too.

I got the booklet by Stanley Burroughs at Wild Oats yesterday and it says the salt water solution should "take effect" within about an hour. So, is it advisable to wait an hour to let the salt water do it's stuff before consuming anything else? Just curious what everyone elses exeperience has been.

    Hey Trac!! Maybe see if you can email Morn - she just finished the MC. I never did the SWF when I was on MC. I would imagine you start drinking your first drink after you've flushed out though... seems logical - Good lUck!! I really enjoyed my time on the MC. I loved the drink - and I just wasn't hungry. I drank as much of the lemonade tea stuff as I wanted though - not sure if that was right - but it worked!! ;)

    Tracy, you want to wait until you eliminate (that is having a BM) before you start to drink the juice. If you are thirsty or not eliminating quickly enough, drink more water until you do, but don't bother drinking the lemonade as you are in the process of trying to get out what you body worked on losening up while you slept. By the way. . HATE the SWF. It makes me dry heeve!!! I heard that sucking on a lemon helps.

    Thanks, gals, for your comments and support! I did wait until after I "eliminated" before I took the first lemonade drink. BOY-OH-BOY! Does that SWF work! So, it was worth drinking it. The hardest part about it, for me, is that there is so MUCH of it. If it was just a glassful, I could handle it better. But an entire QUART is a LOT of fluid to drink. I am actually kindof curious to see what "comes out" tomorrow, considering I have consumed literally NO solids today.

    I'll keep you posted :)
