   Before I say anything, I just want you to know I am going to talk to my doctor about this, I am just asking for some opinions here.
   So I’m a teenager with a LOT of problems. None of them my fault. :/ My immune system is a drama queen and overeacts to every little thing my body comes across, including dander, dust, grass, bright lights, etc and I have to take Vitamin D1 and Singular to help calm it down. For allergy control, I have to do nose sprays, gargle salt water, etc. I also have PCOS and have to take birth control to control that. I’m just wondering if any of you have a very distinct “NO! Don’t do this!” vibe. :/ A symptom of PCOS is obesity, and my doctors have suggested eating foods with a glycemic index under 60, but the majority of those foods fall under The Dirty Dozen and other heavily pesticided groups. My body doesn’t handle pesticides well and organic food is to expensive for my mom and I. No fifteen year old should have to spend high school at 230 pnds. ):

   Any advice- whether for this cleanse or any other- will be GREATLY appreciated. Please respond. <3

   I am reading this because I am doing the cleanse for a second time, (first time was a complete success, I felt wonderful) I do this for my health, NOT for weight loss, I am at my ideal weight, and I believe people should know that the cleanse was NOT designed for the purpose of losing weight!!, and any weight you lose on it will be GAINED as soon as you pick up your normal eating habits..

   that being said, during this second time, I am going to be on my period, and was wondering what other people’s experiences with that have been, and I am SHOCKED to find people complaining about feeling sick, while they are taking BIRTH CONTROL and IBUPROFEN. these are very strong synthetic hormones that are extremely difficult for the body to EVER flush out (toxic!) and ibuprofen a drug (also toxic!) … I am not judging, but URGING people to re-evaluate their ideas about this CLEANSE, it is called a CLEANSE, it was designed more than a century ago to DETOXIFY, why would you toxify it further while on it??

     I am currently on Day 6 and am doing this cleanse to detoxify. I eat a light diet with no processed foods. I am at my ideal weight (5’7, 123 lbs.) and so far, have not lost any weight, which is fine.
     That said, I got my period on Day 2 of the cleanse and did not have any symptoms. I have been experiencing irregular periods these last few months and this was the most “normal” period I’ve had in a long time. No cramps, no food cravings, maybe a little bloating, which could explain the fact that I haven’t lost any weight so far. All in all, I had no problems doing the cleanse while menstruating. Everyone is different, but I wouldn’t postpone the cleanse just because having a period. Hope this helps…

   Diet Day #6:
   This is my second time doing the Master Cleanse. I had good results the first time. I lost ten pounds in 7 days and was able to curb some bad eating habbits. My body felt great, I slept better, had energy, and was much more ‘alert”.
   My hubby is trying the “diet” with me this time. We do NOT do the salt-water,.. I just cannot handle the taste and amount. We drink the tea in the am & pm,… works just fine.
   My period was due 2 days before starting day one of the diet (it often varies by a day or two),… We did NOT “Ease-In”,.. we drank the tea the night before then started Day #1 of the diet.

   I normally have pretty moderate cramps that lead into a VERY heavy 1st day with progressing cramps to VERY Bad & painful,… usually only on day one/also the heaviest day of bleeding.

   I woke up on Day#2 of the Diet and already felt GREAT,… all my usual-day-to-day bloating was GONE already and I started spotting just very lightly,.. minimal to non-existant cramping.

   Day#3 of the Diet was my “heavy day”, if you could even call it that. Admittedly,.. I did take 800mg of IBuprofen early in the morning because I had a 12.5 hr work day to make it through and was expecting the “usual” -horribly rotten menstruation day 1″,… much to my surprise and delightment,.. I had THE LIGHTEST/MOST EASY period I’ve had in YEARS! I’m 34 y/o, usually pretty regular and consistent periods.

   My hubby and I hit the gym and ran a few miles on Diet Days #2 & #4. I admittedly pushed myself HARD,… I’m not a gym-rat,.. could stand to lose a few pounds and just go to the gym a handful of times a month (if its a good month),.. I had plenty of energy to run/work out. felt great,… just drink your lemonade throughout the day! ;)P

   I actually started my period on day 6 and i was totally shocked. Usually I see it coming because my breasts get really swollen and i get cramps, but I didn’t have any PMS symptoms. The only thing it throws off a bit is the tracking of your weight loss because it does give you some unexpected bloat. Otherwise, no worries!

   It never occurred to me that my birth control would be flushed out of my system too quickly for it to dissolve until day 7 when I got my period. Felt it coming around day 6, but thought it was just cramping from the tea. I felt horrible. Headaches, weakness, muscle pains, loss of concentration, dizziness, etc. I also work a physically demanding job and had a very long shift. I’m currently on day 8 and thinking of giving up. Thought a massage on day 6 would help the muscle tightness, but ended up with bruising and tons of swelling. I have lost 8 lbs, but the costs aren’t really outweighing the benefits.

   Ease out day 1

   I started my period while on the master cleanse and I found it to be very easy for me. I had much less cramping and bloating than I would normally have and my flow has lighten quite a bit, which I explain to myself with what I had been told by a herbalist that when we have our periods that our bodies also excrete an amount of the toxic buildup we have in our system at the same time, so my conclusion was that there were less toxins for it to release.

   But each woman is different, each body is different so your experience may be different.

   I’ve done the Master cleanse detox previously with great results. However, starting my recent attempt I had a strong ‘healing reaction’ that I suspect are an internal reaction from using fresh lemon (both previous times I made a batch up at the start of my day) and the cayenne pepper. I am aware that my body generally has become intolerant to hot spice/ heat & I my constitution has become sensitive to sour foods (often causing ulcers on my tongue). As a result I got very sick, causing a intolerable headache, sweating & vomiting so I had to stop the cleanse. I have been a healthy vegetarian for over 23 years and I can only conclude that as my body has changed this cleanse is no longer conducive with my body. Everyone is different & our bodies are constantly changing but I can strongly account for my previous success of maintaining the cleanse for 10 days, which I used to do twice a year. Any thoughts/ suggestions on my comments would be greatly appreciated.
