Lemonade Diet Day 8
I am towards the end of my cleanse and for the last 3 days I have been having a stabbing pain in my left mid back. Now it is in my right lower back. Any idea what is going on.? I don’t want to see a doc till I’m done because they will only prescribe meds anyway.
Thanks for any help

I have read your book with pleasure. I would like to start the cleanse, but I find some directions vague. For instance, nothing is said about the laxative preparation and how much to drink each time (I assume two tablespoons of senne leaves n one liter – two pints – of water, and drink one glass of the tea night and another in the morning. The cayenne pepper should be very little with each glass of lemonade, in order to not overcome half a teaspoon per day. Please confirm my assumptions. Thank you.
