Thread: Fasting for Cleansing Purposes

hello all,
I agree that cleanses are very good for the body, more energy and the feeling of vitality. I have tried several herbal versions over the years, and some are good.

I did find that the Master Cleanse one was too hard, no food at all and just maple syrup, cayenne and lemon juice.

are of utmost importance, because only when the bowel is empty you feel good about fasting, otherwise hunger, headaches and cravings will trip you up.
Two days leading up to the fast it is recommended to have a light diet only, fruit, vegies, rice... then for the bowel cleanse you can either use an enema or colon irrigation ( I have a home kit, works fantastic) or use something like bowel prep that you should be able to get over the counter (at least here in Australia you do), but I am sure your chemist can advise you on that too.
Most bowel preps are magnesium based, some powder that you mix with water and down it straight, it works fast and efficient, I just prefer a more predictable approach

wishing you success
cheers
Schnazzy

I fast for 24 hours once a week. On the fast day, I take a normal full breakfast of musli cereal with soya milk, a cup of vegetable juice and a healthy soya shake. Then, I eat only fruits at dinner and drink only water. Feels great!
