I know a lot of you are health nuts, any good detox plans out there?

There is protein in brown rice. 5g per serving.
My biggest issue was a lack of energy.

Tumeric and cayenne pepper mixed with a 12 oz of Almond Breeze Vanilla almond milk add raw honey.

......ahh, the elixir of life.

Look, I am the first person to say do what it takes to keep you well. I wonder about these "detox" treatments. Mainly because they don't describe what "toxins" they are removing. Moreover, many of them put more strain on the renal and hepatic system than they help. Just be careful is all I am saying. If they were some great system/drug/herbal/vitamin that could cure or heal quickly, there would be people profiting off of it. Eating well and light to moderate exercise tends to be all you need. Lost of evidence to support that and not a lot of people making money off it.

Wow guys! Thanks heaps for all the replies, I sort of fell asleep not to long after starting the thread. I'll let you all know how it goes.

plenty of distilled water, it detoxifies and leeches out all the metals and unwanted shit out of your system drink 8-10 glasses a day for one month then repeat every other month

Currently in day 8 of a master cleanse. Felt a little hunger and had some steamed cabbage, about 1/2 cup was sufficient. No symptoms, no discomfort, sleeping well, feeling great. If I get hungry, I'll return to normal food. One big benefit to this is a reset so it's much easier to avoid favorite but unhealthy foods after the "fast" is finished. It's really good to be free of cravings. Another benefit is that it's good to have a break from the hard work of digestion, and it's also nice to have a break from cooking, dishes, shopping... Been doing the MC for about 20 years. Usually do these for 16 days, but if real hunger arises it's necessary to stop and begin eating again. Another benefit: once you resume normal food, everything tastes amazing!

You're going great mate, keep it up!

Ok just an update, this morning I started out with a handful of mixed berries. Pretty much just blueberries and some karaka berries (both organic). Washed that down with some herbal tea.

Not much planned for today, will update as the day progresses.

I've only heard of one of these. Are there several around the US?

It's very possible you were going through a detox. And that's the problem with detoxing, you never know what's going to happen.

I know people who have ended up in the hospital because the poisons were so bad. But, the good news is, after it's all over, you feel better than ever. The bad news is, it scares you.

What poisons?

One guy was exposed to Agent Orange. He went to the hospital when he detoxed. He looked much healthier once it was over, but it was bad.

I read about a lady that passed out in her bathtub from detox but I don't remember what it was from.

I know I've had some very bad detox situations. One time my head swelled to about 3 X it's normal size and I was covered in purplish spots. I had to take my 2 week vacation from work. It scared my family. Everyone thought I was going to die. I knew what I had done and felt okay. I just looked terrible, LOL!

So I've had about two liters of water today, which isn't that far off what I normally consume. It's 3 pm where I am, will hopefully get another liter in before the day is over.

Um....Unit3, do you have a picture?

Because, um, that sounds frickin' crazy!

Did you have to put your head in a wheelbarrow just to move around your house?

just teasin'


This thread has got me interested. I think I have Candida.

Any advice?

It is good to drink water 10 minutes before a meal and once a meal is digested. Drinking during or right after a meal will wash away your digestive enzymes.

The lemon detox diet is pretty awesome. Follow it up with the gut and psychology syndrome (GAPS) diet and you'll be super detoxed :-)

morning!!!! i watched Fat sick and about to die thing, it was brilliant!!! so inspiring...so i feel ready to start the first proper day fasting! will get a lemon and water and then onto the juice and broth soup..BUT after watching that film i really want to get a juicer ...i have one at home but home is 300 miles away so i may just get one here and get some juicing going on....the thought of all those micro nutreints is getting me excited!!

ok ! I will report back later adios amigos!

so lunch time...im having a broth soup just made from a really good quality veg stock..and ive taken some vitamins...and now feeling quite sleepy..on lunch break so will take a nap and listen to some music :D

Day 2 check in.

Yesterday I had only the fruit juice from my juicer, 2 cups of broth, many cups of herbal tea and water. I had bad hunger pains before bed, but ignored them and went to sleep.

Today, no hunger pains, and I've completely lost my craving for coffee already. Normally I drink a whole pot first thing in the morning. Today - none. I'm going to keep going.

I just caved. Tortilla chips and guac. Couldn't take it anymore.

I'm sorry, I didn't take a picture. But, it was because of candida that I did what I did. I was trying to provoke new synapses in the brain....and it worked. I just went through hell to get there.

It was a niacinamide flush and I started with very low doses and gradually increased them. It was a very low dosage I was taking when this happened. But, I had already been through a lot with the candida cleanses, so it didn't take much I guess. I was trying to get the synapses firing good after clearing up candida.

Anyway, candida is difficult but with any thing, my advice is diet, detox and positive thinking, including inner work.

There are some awesome candida products now. There are enzymes that eat the candida. But you have to get back in balance too, besides finding the diet that works best for you.

I know the raw food people rave about their diet but I don't agree and esp. in the winter months. Raw foods are harder to digest and I've watch a friend who is into a raw food diet look older and more haggard every time I see her.

I follow ayurvedic more than anything. And try to keep alkaline.

I also drink AVC with lemon juice, very small amount of Borox (from the washing powder believe it or not), small amount of soda (I add less than 1/4 tsp) and stevia (or any natural sweetener).....a couple of times of day is good. (I also swish some soda water in my mouth to protect the tooth enamel after taking the AVC drink.)

I also drink a hot, green drink first thing in the mornings.

That's no problem. It's what you do long-term that counts. Good for you for coming this far.

dont worry! just restart be strong! i did ok today i nearly crumbled every time i opened the fridge and i have to cook for a job so this is very hard! but after watching that fat, sick and nearly dead movie i felt like man, if phil can do it then really i have no excuse- and just kept imagining i was phil or that other guy and thinking come on you can do this!!!! ......

so i got through the day...and just hope i can sleep now ...i going to watch some inspirational youtubes and then sleep ! keep going adlib!!!! :D

AdLibs, sending good vibes your way! You have many people in your corner rooting for you! Including me!

Thanks! Decreasing my appetite is a huge victory for me so far, as well as eliminating all that caffeine. I don't have gallstones, so I don't think that too much detoxing is required but dropping a few pounds would be great.

Are you still on track?

It's ok mate, I caved as well. I was originally going to start after new years, that will probably be the case.

Went for a 6km uphill walk on no food and as soon as I got home I couldn't handle it, went straight to the fridge and had leftover spag.

Keep trying.

morning :D so day 2 of the fast, i had a few more prunes than i should have last night but it could have been worse! so doing well...starting the day with the lemon and hot water and some manuka honey..followed by some apple and beet root juice...then lunch will be veg stock again..(a very lazy version of broth soup) and juice and herb teas later...i am not for some reason doing the psyllium..i may start addint this in today it acts as a real filler. anway...as it is i doing ok! gym starts on thursday ...I am resting the next few days bcz i am on my cycle too so need to rest :D

Keep going Adlib and others! I enjoy your updates!!!
