Katie: Analee makes a good point. Get your nutrient levels checked.

I, fortunately had great B-12, D, and iron levels at my last blood draw in October, but still get cold...They also tested my...

I put coconut in smoothies, on crackers, I eat mature coconut right out of the shell. (Think Survivor! or Castaway! Good stuff.) I love coconut in its many forms. You can use the oil right off the...

Katie:
Try coconut oil, and other coconut foods. Coconut contains MCTs, or Medium Chain Triglycerides, which are burned more like carbs, rather than fat. In my experience, raw coconut is a helpful...

Katie:
Interesting that you crave fats. Instinctively, your body knows what you've been abstaining from for a bit! :) I too have noticed that while I don't 'crave' the fats right now (I've been...

Kate - Transition to solids: Had a small marinated cabbage health salad which I'd put in the fridge 3 days ago. It was good. I spent a long time chewing! Later on I had some romaine lettuce and...

Hey ladies! So glad to hear that everyone is going strong and beating back the detox doldrums.

I'm about to have my first solid foods tonight...a salad. We'll see how it goes. The juice...

Go Mindy Sue!

Raediance, I'm sure you've tried it, but what I did for the headache on day 2 was to drink a liter of water and go for a walk. Seemed to get the lymph flowing and release the...

Enjoy the ride!

Forgot to mention: My tongue is clean and pink, my eyes feel clear and sharp.

Day 11. Today I break my fast. Was up at 4:30, rip, roaring, and ready to go. (Is that the saying?) Anyway, I was up before my toddler, who typically awakens us at 5 or so, and that's saying...

Bedtime, day 10. Feeling great! My body is telling me it's time to transition now, however, as I lost desire for my LA today, and mostly wanted water. (A typical sign for me. I drank about half...

I just do the mag. Sometimes I do the mag at night and sfw or mag repeat in the morning.

For digestive reasons I am not a fan of stimulant laxatives. I have IBS-C (or had it before i went raw...

Mag powder...Right now I have a generic product, but there are a variety on the market. Mix with water, drink. If I opt for mag instead of the flush, I just take it at night before bed. Also helps...

To be clear: I'm saying that if you are doing the MC in an orthodox way, you'd of course want to do the flush. However, you could use just the tea (as Burroughs describes in the book for folks...

Katie: If I've learned anything from working in the digestive care industry, I've learned that the idea of pounds and pounds of impacted fecal matter can be myth. While it is normal to have 1-7...

It's day 10! So Raediance, yes, today is the final day of the LA. Tomorrow, day 11, I transition with OJ, and then on to broths and juices on Thursday. To be honest, this morning I'm beginning to...

Day 9 dawns. It's freezing cold here, which makes me feel even chillier. However, I've dressed warmly and am still able to feel/see the sun shining in from my home office window.

Hope everyone...

Hard to say not knowing all of the circumstances, but a doctor once told me that most things we call stomach flu are actually a bacterial infection that is food borne. If that is the case, and you...

Hey gals. It's the end of day 8 for me, and I feel pretty good. We had a nice hike this morning, and while my energy is down I chalk that up to having taken in less LA. Kinda hard to drink too...

Congrats, Raediance for choosing to embark on the MC journey!

Update: Midday and my energy is great. I feel like 'Chilly-Willy', however, as my internal thermometer is on the blink. This is...

Katie:

Hope your first day goes well! The SWF went down really easy today. My son tried to steal my straw, so I let him have it to play with after.

I'm glad it's Friday, although I have an...

Sending positive thoughts! Not to throw in a silly Olympic metaphor, but I've rounded the halfway mark and it's all down hill for me! :)

Katie, do you sip herbal teas when you do the MC? I often...

I also thought I'd mention that drinking the SWF via a straw makes it much easier to go down.

On a related note, the first time I did the SWF I miss-measured the water, using about 12 oz short...

Just wanted to say hi Debbie. It's been a while. I only stopped in to RFT because I'm doing my first Master Cleanse since I got pregnant with my son in 1997. (We finally weaned so I'm not fearful...

My day went really well today. I'm long past the cravings, so now its the hump of missing chewing which always seems to strike me around day 5.

I was able to get some syrup in bulk at my local...
