Go Sonya – love your reply!

It is known that lemon is good for cleansing your liver. If one were to incorporate some lemon in water every day it would be beneficial… just at a slower rate. There is so much fear going on in these comments about the “danger” and if someone is not comfortable with it that’s fine, they don’t need to do it in a fasting manner, they can still incorporate the things that are healthy for them.

To think that your body is going to accumulate toxins while you’re consuming less doesn’t even make sense. You’re body is expelling all the waste you have built up in it. Do you realize that for every meal you eat there should be an equal number of bowel movements? Unfortunately most people have accepted that if they go once a day or once a week it’s normal. One Gastrointestinal doctor that I went to for help told me he thought it was normal that one of his patients only had a bowel movement once a month. Do the math people. You’re smart enough to figure out that the truth is that this cleanse is beneficial. You’re body doesn’t create waste out of thin air. It is expelling waste that you are carrying around… I’d be more worried about that. Of course, if we all get well and healthy there won’t be a need for doctor’s and prescription drugs.

You have to make a choice if you want to change your lifestyle, and I imagine that when you are feeling better, you will choose better and be more positive and less fearful – more courageous. Cleanses have always given me more energy and endurance, so something is working better. I have been and probably always will be carnivorous, but I can still make changes that make me healthier, and when needed, give my body a little help with a cleanse. My body does so much for me, it’s something I can do to say thank you.

@Dr Marc –

Therein the problem lies, this is not meant to be just another chapter in yo-yo dieting, the cleanse–not diet– is meant to prepare the body for a more healthy way of eating.. i.e. raw living foods. Those who go back to the SAD (Standard American Diet) and in excess will probably experience more problems than those who do not.

I’m currently on the Master Cleanse and have been for 5 days! I feel great! I have also lost weight and other yucky stuff from my digestive system that I dare not mention. Anyhoo. What this Doctor knows like many Docs know that they won’t make one red penny off of people who desire to be pro-active in their health and not take medication after medication to only suppress or mask a symptom. This Cleanse actually get’s to the root of our many health problems. 90 % of sickness is related to our digestive systems. So what this Doc is telling you is what will keep him in business. So conintue to be proactive about your health. I have not had one side effect from this diet and only positve results. I wish I would have known about it before now. Also I had an abcess tooth and my Dentist had prescribed an antibiotic and pain med. After being on the Master Cleanse for 3 days I noticed that I didn’t have to take the pain medicine anymore. Huumm! I also had stopped taking the antibiotic prior to beginning the Master Cleanse. Huumm! Now I’m a RN and I work in a hospital setting and I see sickness all the time. No one no even my Doctor can tell me that the Master Cleanse doesn’t work. So with our health care crisis in our Country spiraling out of control we will should all be looking for ways to be pro-active and not re-active with our health. Also the lemon/limes come from the earth, maple syrup (grade B) comes from the earth and the cayenne pepper which increases circulation is a natural herb. So go-figure. Keep your money in your own pocket instead of some Doctor. !
