Thinking of doing a Cleanse!

[obsidian_tears]

I've been reading that Passages Book, which is great..it recomends doing a cleanse to kick start sobriety. I tried a gentle cleanse about a week ago, but it was so gentle I felt like I may have gotten ripped off. I don't like cleanses that starve you to death, so I'm wondering if anyone has a gentle cleanse that they like. I need to be able to do it and still eat AND work!! I can handle toilet visits, as long as I'm not on the pot all day!!!:yuk: I'm going to research more once I get to work today...but any help I can get here would be awsome!! Have a great Monday!!

You might consider juice fasting. Do you have a juicer?

You might consider eating only foods good for cleansing. Lots of water with lemon. sprouts, beets (I'm big on beets this week :H), pineapple (diuretic) etc.

I've never done a cleanse with a purchased product. Just diff. kinds of fasts.

I am with Greenie on this one...Juicing will do the trick !!! and while we are on the subject of GREEN I recommend liquid Choraphyll...you can buy it at the health food stores. it has a blood builder and gives me INSTANT ENERGY...and instant green poo..........works like a charm in every way !!!

Yeah, you know I noticed on my last cleanse (the one I think was just a placebo) would really 'kick in' after drinking juices and eating fruit. I think you're right...maybe I'll make up my own cleanse consisting of daily Metamucil (for fiber, which was a key part of my store bought cleanse) and fruits,veggies and tons of water I need to get another paycheck to purchase the weeks worth of new groceries, so I'll let you know how it goes once I start!! THX!

You might consiser ground psyllium seeds and husks instead of metamucil. You can get it in health food store. Mix it with a cup of juice (I would put it in a jar & shake) and drink.

Eating sprouts is good for chloraphyll and they (alfalfa) also are good plaque cleaners for arteries. You can even sprout quinoa, but it ferments quickly.

I have done the Herbal Cleanse by ReCleanse. It is gentle, but very effective.

My counselor is holistic and suggested a candida cleanse, followed by probiotics to help decrease the AL cravings. I am using it know, so nothing to report yet.

hahahaha...that's awsome IAD!! Zen, thanks for that link. That cleanse looks similar to the one I have...but maybe the ingredients in the capsules are different. I'll have to check it out more. I'm annoyed though because I just read the label of my Metamucil, and it contains asperthame( I guess I'll go look for plain psillium husks.

Hey guys...love the topic of cleansing. Ill tell you. I eat as many raw foods as i can a day. i bought a book on eating called you are waht you eat. it talks alot about using raw foods. I try to eat everything as raw as i can. I no longer cook my veggies. It also talks about foods you can combine and foods that you shouldnt. It also talks about juicing. I can say that i have been more regular during this process. I have been bad about it over the last couple of days though
