Is it safe for women who are menstruating?
I have heard both sides of this argument on several occasions. Please provide your opinion with fact links if you have them. Some say it makes you very weak, others say that they have never had an easier period – less cramps and bloating.

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.
