The white tongue is supposed to be an indication that you are still detoxing.  -KG

Wow! that's great! Day 10 was yesterday for me and I decided to stop there so I could get on to a liver cleanse.  I think I'll do a gallbladder/liver flush, and then about 4 months of a liver detox cleanse.  It feels great to have finished the 10 days of the Master Cleanse though and it's nice to eat again too. Good job, morningglory, keep us posted.

I stopped my MC at 7 days.  I feel great and have learned so much about my eating habits.  I plan to go on an diet for my yeast problem now.  I figured out that I have an overgrowth and the MC was not the best thing for that.

It was a great experience though.  Smiley

Day 20 for me.  I still feel really good, my tongue is still coated, and I've lost 10 pounds as of this morning.  I know it's not actually that much, since I was on my period when I started, and some of that is surely water and food weight.  I'm not sure, but it seems that my cellulite is beginning to smooth out a little.  I have it mostly on the backs of my thighs and butt cheeks.  I would REALLY love to see that gone!  Great job on your cleanses!  I think the first one is the worst.

Wahoo!  That's wonderful, morningglory.  So how many times have you done the MC? Do you have an idea of how long you want it to last this time, or are you just going to continue til you stop?

I haven't read through the whole thread so please forgive me if I'm repeating a question. My question is this: about how much supplies did you find were needed for the master cleanse? As in, how many lemons, how much maple syrup, how much pepper? I've been heavily considering doing the MC and I would probably do it for about 10 days, assuming I'm detoxed by then. I have no idea if I should try to get 5 lemons or 40, 16 oz of syrup or 3 gallons.

As a side note, this is my first post on this website, yay! I've been doing massive amounts of reading through all the wonderful threads though. Smiley

It really depends on how much lemonade you drink.  Personally, I buy organic bottled lemon juice.  It's much cheaper and much more convenient.  I also take the cayenne in capsules. 

This is my third MC, and the longest so far.  The plan was to go for 30 days, but I may end up going longer.  I guess I just want to be as cleaned out as I can.  As long as I feel good, I'll probably keep it up.  I have been cheating with little bites of food here and there, but I'm trying to quit that.  I know my digestive system is still getting a rest for the most part, and that's the point.

The 16 oz. one ran out for me at 7 days.  I measued out what I needed everytime, but it was not enough. Huh  I decided to stop at that point for other reasons but running out of the syrup was a factor.  That stuff is expensive!  I could not afford to buy more.  Also, I did lemons and would use about 1-2 a day depending on how much juice was in them.  I bought sunkist brand once and they had very little juice.  I also bought these tiny more expensive lemons, half the size of the sunkist but with double the juice.  The oganic bottled type sounds like a good idea, I would do that next time.  Also, I have a huge container of pepper but used very little of that, so a small container would probably be good.  HTH

My question is this: about how much supplies did you find were needed for the master cleanse?
I did the MC for 10 days and I ended up using a 64oz bottle of organic grade b maple syrup.  I found it at our health food store and it was about $40.  I used about 4 medium sized lemons a day which totaled about $20 for me for the whole 10 days. I used non-organic at first only because the organic was out of stock the day I shopped.  Half way through I changed to organic and liked them better and I think they might have been cheaper.  The cayenne pepper amount is fairly minimal - about 1 tsp or less per day.  So it ended up being about $6/day for me.  I'm sure you could do it cheaper if you found a non-organic grade b or c maple syrup.
The book I used for MC instructions ("Inner Transformations Using Essential Oils" by Drs. LeAnne and David Deardeuff) said to have 8-12 glasses of the lemonade with 2T. fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 of a medium to large sized lemon) and 2T. maple syrup.  I ended up using less maple syrup so that my bottle of syrup would last the whole 10 days (it was only supposed to last me 8 days so I didn't have to skimp too much to make it stretch to 10 days).  I think for me it was important to have the full amount of maple syrup and lots of glasses of lemonade in the beginning.  As I got farther into the cleanse, it was easy to skimp on the syrup.  Also, for a little more information.... I've read that for full effect, you don't want to substitute for the fresh squeezed lemon juice and you shouldn't put the cayenne in capsules - some say it doesn't have the same effect and the cayenne can irritate your stomach that way.  But it sounds like there are many people who have made those substitutions and still get good results from the MC.

Anyone still doing this?  I'm starting today with a goal of 3 days.  If I make it through I may go 4, but we're going out of town this weekend so I'm not sure about going through the weekend.  Smiley

I have a question.  I'm on day 2 on mc and every time I drink the lemon aid I get goose bumps all over my body.  Anyone had this too?  Also, how important is it to drink the salt water?  Can I drink half of the recommended dose if I also drink a laxative tea?  Thanks for your input. Smiley

I need more help.  I'm on day 4 of the mc and today I woke up REALLY tired and a bit nauseous. Yesterday I couldn't drink the full amount of the lemon aid so I drank only half.  I take cayenne in capsules and drink laxative tea in the evening and sometimes in the morning.  I felt good for the first 3 days so not sure why I suddenly feel so yukky.  I actually am starting to feel like I want to throw up.  What should I do?  Please help!

ok, I just threw up.  Undecided It seems like my stomach did not digest anything that I drank this morning.  I really tasted the cayenne pepper 'cause it really burnt my throat and mouth.  I wonder if that is the reason it didn't digest?  Could it be that I'm taking too much cayenne?  Can I just skip it altogether?   Any advise is really appreciated!

  I'm so sorry Sad That sounds miserable.
  I did the cleanse and skipped the cayenne altogether. I just didn't care for the taste of it, and I liked the lemon juice otherwise. The shivers could be from dislike if you have a real problem with it.
 I probably missed some benifits by skipping the cayenne, but I had some other really good benifits too.
  I also drank barley green on the later days, 7-9 I think, because I was getting bad leg cramps. Happy cleansing! Tongue

 My dh did it with me so we had each others support. We both didn't use the pepper and we both had some good signs that it was really cleansing.
  Dh felt awful the first two days. He got so sick with flu like symptoms. He probably stuck to it because of the weight loss.

Ugh! That does sound horrible. You may have already read this, but here's what I wrote a few posts above:
Also, for a little more information.... I've read that for full effect, you don't want to substitute for the fresh squeezed lemon juice and you shouldn't put the cayenne in capsules - some say it doesn't have the same effect and the cayenne can irritate your stomach that way.  But it sounds like there are many people who have made those substitutions and still get good results from the MC.
If you want to try the cayenne pepper to get more effect out of the MC, you might try drinking a small amount of the cayenne in the lemonade instead of putting it in capsules.  Only put in a small amount and then increase the amount if you tollerate it.

I can't tolerate the pepper in my drink.  That's why I decided to take it in capsules.  I did quit taking it since yesterday.  Another thing that came up is yesterday evening my lower back started hurting pretty bad, then right before bed both of my legs started hurting.  Today, my back doesn't hurt, but my legs are hurting the whole day.  Could I be low on magnesium or calcium?  Should I take something?  Not sure what to do.

Update: My legs stopped hurting and I feel pretty good.  Got my energy back and I don't feel hungry. (most of the time Wink)  So far I'm happy with the results.  Lost almost 10 lbs! Grin  This does take some will power, but it's worth it.  I'm really glad I finally decided to do this! Smiley

Is anyone out there doing this?  I started today.  I'm seeing if this will help with all the yucky stuff that's in my throat all the time, sinus drip I think. 

I'm wondering I don't know about that salt water drink, what sort of tea can I drink instead?  I'm only on day 1, so that's not a problem yet.

I found mine in the how to herb book, it only had the lemonade recipe, nothing about the salt water.  I'm hoping to benefit from the weight loss, would like to lose 5 to 10lbs.   Grin 

So, how long should I do it for, 10 days?  I started out thinking I would do it for 3 and see how it goes, I get shaky when I get hungry, but so far I'm doing great.  When I feel light headed, I make a drink up, so far I've had 3 glasses.
