Salt water makes you crazy and is a diarettic. Pepper will make your poop hurt. The last poop you will have for 10 days. I think any extreme change to your diet like that can have bad side effects.
I believe you should eat, drink, and do exactly what you want. Your body is always healthier when you are happy :)

That sounds freaking horrible!! Might I suggest just using colonblow (http://www.colonblow.com) or something.
I've used it before, and you just substitute their drink mixure for a days worth of meals and you're done. Gets the plumbing nice and clean. :yes:

Grocery List:
Gatorade
Water
Dulcalax
Miralax or any stool softner
take 2 laxatives in the early afternoon or late morning, then take another 4 around 4-5pm. Mix the entire bottle of the stool softner with a 64OZ bottle of Gatorade and drink 8oz every 10-15 minutes until it's all gone.
don't eat anything the throughout the entire day, just drink fluids like water and gatorade and you'll flush out your poopy system. Intestines, colon, all that shit will come right out. umm, wet wipes may help ease the soreness of pooing.

or how about this. Dont eat ANYTHING, buy some multi vitamins, green tea and lemons and just pop multivitamins and drink green tea with lemon. Green tea is an antioxidin right? and if you dont put anything bad into your body, or anything at all, then the multi vitamins will give you your daily percentage of minerals and such that you need.
that should do it! oh, but if you DO happen to eat something, just drink alot of water before your first bite, between every other bite, and then excuse yourself to the bathroom. :puke:

A few months ago I did the master cleanse, aka the lemon cleanse, for 10 days.....
Was the hardest 10 days of my life, I shit a lot, I was hungry, and for the first 3 days no one wanted to talk to me.....

YES!! I did that cleanse last summer. The first couple of days I had a headache; which is normal. The third day on I felt GREAT!!! Unfortunately, I only lasted 5 days because my desire to chew on something got the best of me :cry: Personally, I think this is the best fast to go on...but only up to 10 days. There are many people on the master cleanse forum that have done it for 40 days; lunatics.
What I did: first thing in morning: 1 quart room temp water with 2 teaspoons of sea salt. Drank it down quickly (1/2 hour). Within 2 hours I was done "purging," to put it nicely.
Then the rest of the day was the lemon, water, maple syrup, cayenne pepper drink.

fresh veggies
fresh fruits
water
honey water
If someone has a sensitive stomach or acid reflux issues, stay away from citrus items such as, but not limited to lemon/lime/wine.
Salt water will take your ideal ph out of range and dehydrate you.
Cajun pepper is good for your GI track, but if you're not use to it. Only take a small amount to avoid burning your star.:)
The amount of fresh veggies to get the necessary fiber would make vegetarian's look like uncommitted dietitians.;)
It shouldn't take more than a day or two to clean your GI system.
If you email thy, I will provide more detail.

purging like puking or pooing? so you do it for 10 days and then what? is this something you're supposed to do every month?

Coming from a training, ( I'm also going for my nutrition cert) This is something that wouldn't recommend. Yeah its great for losing a little bit of weight. Water weight. Also cleaning your body from those drugs etc... You really dont need to go to those extreme's. You force your body through that will really screw with your hormone levels, emotions, along with the fact that once you clean out all those toxic little beings. If you dont change your diet, They will come back.
Take this as you will. but this is how i would detox:
I view it as a 3 step thing - remember that a healthy body is a life style not a pill or a diet.
Start drinking water! I mean lots of it. I drink about a gallon a day.
for you i would start of with 64 oz a day at least. Then work up to about 96 oz. This equals about 3 nalgene (sp?) bottles.
Setp 1:
You really need to clean the colon. This will help your body to absorb all the "good" nurtiates your body needs.
Use a herb laxative here. You should only use this for 2 days, also unless you are experiencing pain in the gut, bleeding, or have some sort of intestinal problem, don't be afraid to increase the dosage until you have gotten the desired effect. It is not uncommon to take a high dosage until you hit that 'sweet spot'
Step 2:
You need to be aware of what your eating. You need to stop eating anything that is processed. You should eat fruits and vegetables in high amounts. Carbs and protiens should be as clean as possible. IE. Lots of eats, lean chicken (stay away from beef), Sweet potato's etc..
Also watch what your doing, BE AWARE of chemical fumes of any kind! paint, cleaners, detergents.
Step 3:
Nutrition, Nutiriton, Nutirition. Every cell in your body is constantly being replaced. Some cells get replaced every few days, while others are replaced every few months. Without proper nutrition, not all of the cells will be able to be replaced. As time goes by, the condition of various types of cells decreases. It is very important to get all the nutrients you need every day. It is even more important during a detox, as you may be flushing certain amounts of nutrients from the body during the process.

So just eating right, drinking more water, exercising, and letting your body just metabolize that stuff out naturally doesn't work?
You're definitely going to feel great afterwards from doing that stuff, because during it you feel like crap! I know some people swear by it, but I also believe in the concept that if you fill your body with garbage that's how you're going to feel - like garbage. Treat it right and it will come around on its own. We have natural ways of cleansing ourselves if we consume the right stuff, without having to throw our blood chemistry out of whack or shit like a geyser for a week.

true, and if after cleaning it all out, you go back to eating garbage then you're REALLY REALLY going to feel like shit (no pun intended) and then have to do it again, and again, and again.. and it'll just be a viscious cycle of being dependant on laxatives and soon you'll be on the Nicole Ritchie Fan Club! :cry:

purging like puking or pooing? so you do it for 10 days and then what? is this something you're supposed to do every month?
As in liquid poop. Diarrhea. 10 days would be ideal to get rid of all the toxins in your body you've taken in from the chemicals we place on/in our bodies and what we inhale. Anything and everything from air pollution, lotions, creams, cleaning products, chain lube (!) food, drink.
How often you want to do it is different for everyone since everyone eats differently. I think if you eat the typical american diet; meat, dairy, fried foods, fast food, donuts, chips, etc., doing this cleanse won't do you any good if you are just going to continue eating that way after the cleanse. Many people don't realize what they are eating is actually killing them. The cleanse will make them feel better for a while, but when they start putting crappy food back in, the dis-ease will come right back.
However! if you eat mostly organic fruits, veggies, nuts, legumes, whole grains, etc. you really don't need to do the cleanse since you're already pretty much detoxed.
After the 10 days, or however many you do, don't go right back to your normal diet, unless your normal diet is raw fruit and veggies! There's a whole explanation on how to prepare for and come off of the cleanse on the site I mentioned above.
On a side note, I want to add that after the 3rd day, you get this euphoric feeling that comes over you; sorta like a cocaine high, and you feel physically and mentally on top of the world! Gee, thinking about that feeling, I want to do the cleanse again! Yee-ha!
~Barn~
Fri Jul 27th, 2007, 01:12 PM
and i thought the colon blow was the one that goes from down under with the tube and flushing it out that way.
Ah... You're thinking of a colonic/anema. Colonblow (http://www.colonblow.com) is a product that you mix with water, that (in conjunction with some capsules that you pop), cleans out the downstairs pipes. It's mad fiber'ish.

So what is the actual Schedule and intake?

How much Maple in what?
how often? ECT......
2 tbsp lemon or lime juice (1/2 lemon)
2 tbsp of pure grade B maple syrup
1/10 tsp cayenne pepper (red) or to taste
12 oz of purified water, warm or cool
Drink all day and night whenever you want. Warning: start out using a small pinch of the cayenne unless you can handle it! Try not to make it up ahead of time and if you must, make sure you refrigerate it. The website/forum will answer all your questions and show you gross pictures too!!! http://www.therawfoodsite.com/
Just FYI:
Lemons are known to be one of the richest sources of minerals and vitamins. Lemons also help loosen and break up mucus in the body.
Maple Syrup is a balanced form of positive and negative sugars and must be used; no substitutes are to be included in the mixture. Grade B maple syrup is highly recommended for its taste and mineral content. The variety of vitamins and minerals in maple syrup include: potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine and silicon. Vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, C, nicotinic acid and pantothenic acid are also present.
Cayenne Pepper breaks up mucus and increases warmth by building blood and acts as a cleanser for the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems. It has been popularly used by herbalists to treat a wide range of problems and to enhance the effectiveness of many other herbs.

I read an article in -- Men's Health, I think it was -- while in the hospital waiting room a couple of weeks ago (choices were that or TV Guide in Spanish) about detox diets. The writer embarked on a Mastercleanse-like diet. When his doctor asked how he was doing, his reply was, "I've got red welts all over my face, I'm shitting green, and I have a horrible headache 24x7." to which the doctor said, "Oh, it's working, then."
I'm going to say you've gotta be REALLY porky to resort to that kind of torture to lose weight.

Dear god why?!? I don't put no ethanal in my bike. I put high octane!
That's what I do. Some people also drink the salt water in the morning and add a laxitive tea daily. Personally, I think that's going a tad bit overboard! ...
As opposed to consuming nothing but water, lemon and maple syrup then pooping for 10 days?!? Are you joking? Seriously.
I'm 36, a former smoker and casual drinker. I have lost 25 lbs since this time last year, I have never been stronger, faster, or better. I outrun more that 85% of the folks in my unit and they are almost all younger than me.
Just watch what you eat and get some exercise. I swear it's not that hard. There are few cases where something this extreme is required (the hospital stay I think qualifies). You have a nutrionist telling you what a bad idea this is, and I would be willing to bet any Dr that didn't graduate from a central american school of new age medicine and telekiniesis will tell you the same.

We can talk about modifing this for you. Making it safer for you. Also we can talk about what your diet, weight is now. We can set up some goals. yes i said goals. If you willing to work, not only can we detox your body, you can hit that swim suit body you always wanted :)
Just a little fact to help out all of you
- at 64oz of cold water a day (the colder it is the better!) Your body actually has to speed up its metabolism to warm your body. This effect can last an hour!
Also if you come in at 200 pounds, your water intake should be double that. Yes its a gallon of water. but you'll never feel better :)

I hate that I think I sound like a friggen commercial or spokesperson or something, but you know me, we've met...I'm 43 and honestly don't feel "old". Not like a lot of people who are younger than I am....and they complain about all sorts of "old people" stuff. What's the remedy? It's not a quick fix. History has shown that a quick fix is never the answer. I changed what I was eating...took out a whole lot of carbs and soda, added back fruit and vegies (the Dr recommended amount), lean meats and fish, and exercise for 45 - 75 minutes at least 4 times a week. I used to have major back, hip and leg pain and could never sleep through the night, cuz every time I needed to roll over, I would wake up cuz it was painful. Now, I sleep through the night and roll out of bed in the morning like I did when I was a teen. My only aches and pains come from my clutziness.;-)

I'm with you. I dropped a bunch of weight and my snoring has gone away. It's an unusual morning when I don't wake up before the 5:20am alarm. Rita's gotten me to eat better so my cholesteral went from borderline bad (208) to pretty good (166) and the rest of the blood levels was just as good. My blood pressure has always been pretty good but the last one I took was 95/62.
I went from this:

to this:

And I'm lots happier (and will certainly live longer)
Big thanks to Rita.

Sometimes it is the photo that can say a whole lot more. My cholesterol was at 250 and I dropped it to 195. My bp was higher than Carl's, but has dipped to somewhere around 120 over 84. At a certain point, it wasn't about the "looks", it was about the health. I was in desperate need of being healthy and so I did what I needed to do.

Cat, if you want someone to take this journey with you, then I still need to drop a few more and would be glad to tag along. Just PM me if you think you'd like a buddy.
Good luck with whatever you choose to do, though.:)

A propper diet works wonders, eating right is everything. There is a diet tea (Iforget the name) that you can get a a health food store that will help with the cleanout. It is in a green and white box with a black siloete balarena type chic on the cover.
If that dont work I suppliment with dohnuts, mmmm dohhhnuts
Smooth Move is the name.... I still use it occasionally

Detoxing is a wonderfull thing. As Americains we are so completely contaminated with chemicals from most everything store bought we ingest. It is mostly unavoidable. We are pumped so full of chemicals that make us Sick, Prone to Cancers, and HUNGRY for more food. It is a crasy cycle and the ONLY reason for this is for Companise to make more money selling garbage that we all eat. Also the Drug companies Reep the benifits of a Sick population that they can sell their drugs to TREAT and NOT CURE anything.
Feel tired? we got a drug
Fat? we got a drug
Sad? we got a drug
Cant get it up? we got a drug
Going bald? we got a drug
Aids? we got a drug
You name it there is a Drug that ONLY TREATS but there is NO Money in curing anything.
Hell lets face it Stem cell Research is being quashed not due to Religion it is due to the FACT it will Cure Disease. That would take Billions of dollars out of the Drug companies.
Oh Shit what were we talking about??? Better take my Aderol for my ADHD. Fuck that. I like being like "Hammy".
Anyway I did a Candida Cleanse. And it was tought but holy shit I felt great.
when Candida get out of control (it is a Yeast we all have) your body is all jacked up. Sence it is a Yeast we all have it lives on our intake of Sugars.
Eliminate the sugars and do a cleanse.

Candida albicans is a yeast the normally resides in the body in the digestive tract and vagina, kept in check by the immune system and beneficial bacteria in the body...
What if you don't have one of those? (kidding man)
