Re: newcomer... help please!!

Hello and welcome!

1.) I want to start the Master-Cleanse soon after new years & I know a Liver Flush is helpful... but does it hurt? Funny question, I know. But are there any cramps or discomfort associated with the liver flush?

A Liver Flush is not painful. However, my best flushes have included nausea, and some reflux of the oil/juice mixture which isn't terribly pleasant. However, the GOOD news... after 5-6 flushes at two week intervals I passed 30-40 beautiful jade green stones the size of small prunes (I am not making this up)! After that flush I have had NO problems with "adult acne" (I am 51!), which had plagued me for years! I had done lots of juice fasting and colon cleansing and still had the acne. Liver Flushing cured it completely.

2.) How long should I wait to start the Master-Cleanse after the liver flush?

Wait until your body has recovered from the fast. Break your fast by the book (with the OJ and soup routine) until your normal digestion has fully reestablished--then do a flush!

3.) I want to do the Master-Cleanse for the minimum ten days. I understand I will experience some acne, but will that clear by the end of the ten days?

As an MC/ Acne person, I have never had a big increase in skin trouble with the MC, though this is certainly possible as you detox. Will it clear? Depends whether the toxins causing the problem are cleaned out! For me, this didn't happen until I had an excellent liver flush. Remember this takes patience, you can only do one every two weeks (you must let your body recover between flushes), but it has truly miraculous benefits! Well worth the effort.

4.) Last but not least... I am 19 years old & I know my health choices haven't been so great. I'm a tad weak & I know my body is full of toxins. Is the MC appropriate for me?

You are weak in what way? Physically? Do you exercise? If not, why not? An exercise routine is a very important part of any sensible diet program to build radiant good health! Pick a routine you will enjoy and stick with it!

Yes, the MC definitely can help you get on the right track. You will learn many things about your body in a ten day fast. Use the time you are fasting to develop a healthy eating and exercise program that will build you up and make you feel great! There are lots of wonderful options!

Lucky you -- starting out on the cleansing trail at 19!! I was 46 before I discovered what terrible trouble I was in (I had tons of gunk stapled to the walls of my poor abused colon that took me four years to remove)! However, I am a poster child--you CAN achieve your health goals! There are lots of very supportive and knowledgeable people right here to support you.

Let us know how you are doing!

Best,
