No Parasites on the Master Cleanse?
I am on day eight of the Master Cleanse (aka The Lemonaid Diet), and I really want to flush out any accumulated toxins and parasites. But so far, my bowel movements are all clear: no parasites or "strange, dark solids." Has anyone gone on this detox regimin and not had any parasites?
I am following the book faithfully (64 oz of the lemonaid mixture, senna leaf tea, and salt water flushes), and have about 2-3 liquid movements a day. It is my first time cleansing, and I really wanted it to be a cleansing! I also do not feel like I have the amazing energy they say I should. Could it be that it might take longer for me? Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Please let me know.

I do have a lot of energy considering that I am only drinking the lemonade mixture, saltwater in the am, and senna leaf tea at night. It just isn’t what I thought it would be. I get a lot more energy after drinking a full bottle of Synergy Kombucha, for sure!
The detoxing is great, though. I have used other detoxes before, but this one–so far–has more detox symptoms (yucky tounge, backache on day four, etc), so I feel like it works better.
I don’t know how much weight I’ve lost. I don’t own a scale, and I’m not doing it for weight loss. But I feel lighter on the inside (if that makes ANY sense), so I think you’d like it. I cannot imagine eating only 500 cals a day and NOT losing weight, so you might have success with that.
Good luck!

Most parasites are in fact microscopic. If you had a giant tapeworm, you’d probably have symptoms.
According to an article run in Discover Magazine August 2000, most people carry several intestinal parasites but they do not cause enough of a problem to cause obvious symptoms and therefore they are not diagnosed medically.
Here’s a passage from the magazine article:
<<Every living thing has at least one parasite that lives inside or on it, and many, including humans, have far more. …Scientists…are only just beginning to discover exactly how powerful these hidden inhabitants can be, but their research is pointing to a remarkable possibility: Parasites may rule the world. The notion that tiny creatures we’ve largely taken for granted are such a dominant force is immensely disturbing. …We are collections of cells that work together, kept harmonized by chemical signals. If an organism can control those signals – an organism like a parasite – then it can control us. And therein lies the peculiar and precise horror of parasites.>>
Ive been thinking about the master cleanse for sometime. I dont have any awnsers for you but a few questions myself if you dont mind. The version I ‘m thinking about is with water,lemon,cayenne pepper,and pure maple syrup. Im looking for cleansing and weight loss of 5 to 10 pounds at the most. Have you had any weight loss and has your energy level increased since your post? One thing I take daily is 1tablespoon of cod liver oil it sounds gross but its totally fantastic does wonders for my mood and also omega 3s the best supplement ive taken. Good luck
Why would you do this to yourself willingly?
We are faced with many toxins every day in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink. Simply living in this day and age exposes us to toxins.
If you want to detoxify, do what the hospitals do for detoxification – raise your glutathione. This will detoxify your whole system and it is the way your body is designed to get rid of toxins. Don’t use NAC to do this, like they do, it has nasty side effects when taken in quantities sufficient enough to do the job. Take a product called Immunocal 3 to 5 times a day for 10 days (should cost about $70 to $130 depending on your weight 3 times a day under 150 lbs) . This will eliminate most toxins out of your system, including what it is patented for – reducing the side effects of radiation.
God bless
