Lemonade Diet – Day 4 – Healing Events
Posted on 19. Apr, 2009 by Mike in My Experience, The Master Cleanse
Day 4 may bring a clearing on several fronts. Often, you begin to get over the physical symptoms of what people call “Healing Events” (although they are reported to come throughout the cleanse, at any time). You may also get over the psychological need for food (although you do often feel a little tweak of “want”, not of “need”). The psychological “need” for food isn’t always a centered thought. We think we need the worst kinds of foods. We are socially conditioned to think “I need meat”, or “Three squares per day”. These ideas are artifacts from old concepts we can now disprove to some degree or another.
Perhaps the greatest benefit from the Master Cleanse is the new-found recognition that you don’t have to stuff yourself. Or that a big, beautiful piece of broccoli can sustain like a nice breast of chicken. The social adaptation we have made to meat can be replaced with a new norm, a new paradigm.
Healing Events are the sniffles, rashes, coughs and other symptoms mostly experienced around day 3 or day 4, but which can occur at any time throughout the Lemonade diet. These events are thought to be the removal of toxins that may have caused sickness on the way in. They say “sick in, sick out,” after all. If you pick up a bug, your body isolates it and tries to expel it through a variety of ways (mucous, coughs, sneezes, fevers, rashes, zits and more). The same is true when the toxin is leaving, so you get the symptom. That is the prevailing notion on healing events encountered during the Lemonade Diet.

I am on day 3 of the lemonade diet and starting last night or early am, I began experiencing lower back pain. Quite severe to day. could this be a result of the cleanse what I read as “healing events”.

I’m on day 4 and am feeling more lethargic – physically and mentally – than the previous 3 days. I am savoring the lemonade. Never in my life have I enjoyed a drink so much. I think my body is craving the sugars from the syrup. Hunger pangs have subsided somewhat, but would still love to have a big meal.
BMs mostly only happening in the mornings. Feel fortunate not to be running to the bathroom all day as I feared.
Noticing phlegm building up in my throat today. No cold symptoms though. Not sure what that’s about.
Have a very long work day ahead of me tomorrow. Hoping I have the energy.

WOW yesterday (day 3) was almost too much…I just about quit. Not to mention my wife was baking (healthy) treats for the rest of crew all day! Today seems like the turning point for me and I know from reading many other posts that the worst may just be behind me/ us. Only one more week is right.

For some reason day 4 was really hard for me. Although I didn’t actually feel physically hungry, I couldn’t stop thinking about food!!! Psychologically, I had a really difficult day. I’m feeling good, lots of energy and my headaches are finally gone. I’m praying today will be better and that I won’t have food on my mind all the time. I’m really worried about this weekend, especially Sunday which is the day we usually go out for dinner and then have goodies during the football game.
I’ve been switching the lax tea and the swf around, doing the lax tea in the morning and the swf in the evening. The tea gives me such stomache cramps I had to take a break from it for one day but will get back to it today.
