Hello fellow detoxers. Today started my 10 day Master Cleanse and I almost hate to jinx myself, but it's been fairly easy so far. I quit coffee yesterday and my head hurt all day, but fortunately I had no headache today. My morning started off with the only hard part of the cleanse, the saltwater flush (SWF) and it was pretty brutal. You have to drink 32 oz. of water with 2 tsp of sea salt in minutes. I finally ended up standing in front of the bathroom mirror and chugging it as best I could and then switched to a fat straw in the back of my mouth so I didn't have to taste the salt. It took a good 2 hours to get the pipes flowing, but the flush does what it implies and I've felt great ever since. So far I've had four 10 oz. glasses of lemonade today with a pint of water after each. I will probably drink six of these per day but the diet allows up to twelve.
I've been a little slower paced, sort of mellow feeling all day, but definitely with no pain or hunger. I think the hardest part will be the SWF each morning and cooking dinner for my son. My husband was doing the cleanse all day with me, but he just broke at dinner. I guess I'll have him make our son's meals for the next week to ease the temptation. I'm looking forward to tomorrow and journaling my process.
xoxo Shelly
hey! i have done the master cleanse several times in the past few years. i chose not to take the salt water. you can instead take about three healthy teaspoons of buffered vitamin c powder. that will do the trick. in fact, any time you wish to jump start "that process," buffered vitamin c will work. ; )
