    d_rek...You lose the 5 pounds in water weight. The body does not go into a state of cannibalism. Yes you need exercise. And pr2, I'm no doctor, but having experienced this cleanse, I can tell you that it works on many levels. It's really not for dieting, and the people who do use it ONLY for that, lose the benefits of understanding the spiritual and mental boost.

    You should always eat healthy. The main purpose is to rid yourself of toxins. Read the ingredients of all the foods you eat. Corn Fructose, preservatives, dyes, sodiumcitricpectinacidfunk (yumm), etc... Point is you eat tons of these crap that resides in the foods we eat. It's true the body does clean itself, but it has to go up against all the chemicals used in today's food, that does not exist naturally. Why do you think there is such a high obesity in people these days compared to people of back then? It's the chemicals preventing us from metabolism, lack of the real nutrients that exist in natural foods and the chemicals used to keep us eating more and more. The reason why you can just have one chip. Because the chemicals make you want to eat more. Like how MSG makes things taste better.

    When people go through this detoxification, you rid yourself of decades worth of crap just living inside your intestinal system. You see this when you've taken all the crap you can, haven't eaten for days and you find you're still shitting black junk on the Master Cleanse. This is all the build ups you've acquired and will find things leaving your body that you had there since 2000 or even since birth. These chemicals also have an effect on how you feel.

    Once you get rid of all these toxins, the lining of your walls are clean and you can obtain MORE nutrients from the foods you eat. This rebooting of your digestive system allows you then fill your body with only good organic and clean foods. Replacing the junk foods with organic fruits and vegetables makes you feel 10 times better!

    Get some Super Green Drink mix from Trader Joe's or your local natural health store/grocer. It's what I did.

    it can trigger diabetes in people that are genetically predisposed, so you should check up on your family history if you're not sure. most of what you read about the "master cleanse" is bs, including that whole intestinal tract buildup declogging thing, it's simply not true and is a fundamental misunderstanding of how your digestive tract works. that said, it's good for breaking old diet habits, a clean slate if you will.

    Whatsup is saying you are shitting out things from 2000 and from when you were born on this cleanse. Sorry sir, but you don't know that and have absolutely no way of knowing that. You like to think that is what is happening but you do not know that. You have diahreah from not eating and drinking only liquids and the other little bit of liquid things you are allowing yourself.

    Did you ever go out drinking hardcore and not eat anything at all? First off, you feel like garbage. Second is you may have diahreah even though you didn't eat anything. You may have it all day. I just don't buy this pseudo-doctor game that you guys are playing.

    • This all being said, do what you like. If this does it for you, go nuts. Just don't try to science it up.DrBombay
    • lol @ you comparing binge drinking and a detox diet.kona
    • All you consume is liquid in both cases. Ok it ain't perfect ;)DrBombay

    whatsup, you really believe that in 10 days you gonna get rid of stuff that has accumulated in your body for the past 30 years?????

    e-pill, what i'm trying to say is that moderation is important. unfortunately our customs and eating traditions force us into some hard-to-break eating habits. For instance raised on Polish food i always have to have soup, meat, potatoes and a salad with very meal. On each own those are horrible ingredients but because you end up mixing those you actually end up with quite healthy diet because you ingest a variety of ingredients... Once again, it's all about moderation.

    dr.bombay....People colonic cleansing have studied these occurances, that I know. Some people have found they have been carrying an extra 10-20 pounds of shit in their bellies. This is mostly apparent after a certain age.

    • you haven't seen a colonscopy camera, have you? After only 1 day of fasting your colon is clean like baby's belly.pr2
    • you're talking to someone who has fasted for 10 days. it definitely wasn't clean in just one day

    • plus you're forgetting the mucous layer on the intestine that contains all the toxins

    Proponents of colon cleansing believe that toxins from your gastrointestinal tract can cause a variety of health problems, such as arthritis, allergies and asthma. They say that colon cleansing — also called colonic irrigation — removes these toxins, thus promoting healthy intestinal bacteria, boosting your energy and enhancing your immune system.

    While there is little scientific evidence to support or refute the benefits of colon cleansing, critics say it's generally unnecessary and at times may even be harmful. Although doctors prescribe colon cleansing as preparation for medical procedures such as colonoscopy, most don't recommend it for detoxification. Their reasoning is simple: The digestive system and bowel naturally eliminate waste material and bacteria — your body doesn't need enemas or special diets or pills to do this.

    pr2, i believe its dependent on your own body.

    To get the full benefit of the master cleanse, I believe it was 20-30 days. I only did 10 days because it was hard to do. Studies have been shown from colonic cleansing the release old toxins. They found drugs and chemicals in patients where they haven't used them in years.

    Here is more info on the master cleanse:

    You must have Anorexia Nervosa.

    Glucose is the body's primary fuel source and is essential for the brain's functioning. When denied glucose for more than 4–8 hours, the body will turn to the liver for glycogen, a storage form of glucose, to be used for fuel. A process called glycogenolysis converts glycogen into a usable form of fuel. At this point, the body will also use small amounts of protein to supplement this fuel. This fuel will last for up to 12 hours before the body needs to turn to muscle stores of glycogen, lasting for a few more days. If glucose is still denied at this point, muscle wasting is prevented by temporarily switching to fat as the fuel source, meaning fat is converted into ketone through catabolism. Ketones, while not sugars, are able to be used by the brain as a fuel source as long as glucose is denied.

    Such changes in blood chemistry during fasting may have dangerous effects[1]. The body will continue to use fat for as long as there is fat to consume. The body will generally indicate to the faster when fat levels are running extremely low (less than 7% and 10% of body weight for males and females, respectively) with an increased urge for food. Fasts are usually broken long before this point. If the fast is not broken, starvation will begin to occur, as the body begins to use protein for fuel. Medical complications associated with fast-induced starvation include electrolyte imbalances, thinning hair, lanugo, cardiac arrhythmia and renal failure. Death can occur if fasting is pursued to the point of complete starvation.

    Excessive fasting for calorie restrictive purposes, accompanied by intense fears of becoming overweight are associated with mental disturbances, including Anorexia Nervosa.

    Once again if it works for you... More bizarre things have made people happy about themselves and if it helps you then good for you. That said though if you believe in this then you just lost the privilege of making fun of Republicans and a whole range of other people who use believes rather then logic to reason their ideas.

    • Logic can go so far, til you have to make intelligent assumptions. These are called beliefs
