dr. christopher 3-day juice fast--question

[Guest guest]

hi,

 

hope everyone is having a happy new year. it's been quite a while

since i've had a chance to post. i'm doing so now b/c i'm in the

middle (day 2) of the dr. christopher 3-day cleanse and have a couple

of questions about what is " normal. " yesterday afternoon i got a

horrible stomache ache...my tummy was pretty gurgly all day with many

MANY trips to the bathroom...but around 1pm i got really gassy and a

horrbile knotted stomache. i had some ginger tea b/c it seemed like

helping the situation would be best overall...and it did

somewhat...but it still got knotty off and on throughout the day.

 

now for the graphic:

 

everything i eliminate is totally liquid...is this normal...should it

be this way. i just have no basis for comparrison b/c my only other

cleanse was a much more gradual herbal cleanse.

 

any insight from those that have done this would be much

appreciated...i just want to know if any of this are not " normal "

symptoms of the cleanse in which case i could maybe increase or

decrease my intake of the prune juice, olive oil and/or carrot juice.

 

many thanks.

luv laura

Hi Laura,

 

How much prune juice your drinking? Are you using organic carrots and juicing them yourself? Are you drinking the pulp along with the juice? You following the program to a tee? You are having a healing reaction and dumping toxins. There is nothing normal about a cleanse. Everyone is different and reacts differently to a cleanse. Whatever you do, do not stop this process. You are using distilled water? RO water? You are not eating anything right? Let me know.

don,

 

except for the ginger tea i drank yesterday to calm the tummy i am

totally following the directions to the tee i think. when i wake up

i have 16oz. of organic prune juice. throughout the day i have

1tbsp. of organic olive oil and 2qts. of organic carrot juice--a cup

every 30 minutes alternated with water. i'll go get some distilled

water if you think that's crucial...i've just been using purified or

spring water--that we get at work. the carrot juice i am juicing

myself...i use my champion...and to make sure that it's getting every

bit out of the carrots i usually put the pulp back through a couple

of times...so the juice has a lot of sedement in it and i've been

drinking this as well...being careful to swish it around a lot before

swallowing. and i haven't had anything to eat since i started

this...i also did a day of all raw before beginning the 3-day juice

fast.

 

i guess by normal...i'm trying to get a sense of what the " ideal "

is...should my stool go back to being solid before the cleanse is

over...i guess i'm just not sure what is caused by the toxins being

eliminated and what is caused by the fact that all i'm ingesting is

juice. and i didn't know if i should cut back on the prune

juice...or if this is what you want to have happen. any advice you

have is great. i'm feeling ok today...so far no bad cramping...just

lots of trips to the pot and i'm starting to get a little light

headed. i have already told my boss that i won't be in to work

tomorrow so i can totally rest up on my last day.

 

luv laura

Hi Laura,

 

The distilled water will be best but filtered water will work. The reason for distilled is there is nothing in it. No inorganic compounds, no chlorine, fluorine, insecticides, herbicides, etc. Any reason why you are only drinking 2 quarts of juice per day? No biggie just wondering.

 

Okay, so the cramping part was a release of toxins into your digestive tract and it really wanted to get them out. Yes, you will feel light headed at times on this fast. That is okay. That too is part of the detox and healing. It is good that you are making lots of trips to the "pot" as this means you are cleansing out the toxins and excess mucus. This is very good.

Just keep doing what you are doing as what you are doing is producing the results that you are looking for, mainly elimination of excess mucus and toxins from the body. Just keep the intake of fluids up so you don't dehydrate.

 

This is such a wonderful cleanse to do. Really helps boost your energy level.

 

Any more questions just holler.

don. thanks so much. you've set my mind at ease. the 2qts. of

juice i got from the file that contains instructions for this

cleanse. i realize that it says at least 2 qts. and truthfully i'm

probably drinking a little bit more than that. at this point this is

probably as much as i can handle...not so much b/c i can't drink more

but b/c my dh is doing this with me...and juicing 4-4.5 qts. of

carrot juice per day is no picnic!! at night we have to laugh b/c

even though we know that we are supposed to be relaxing..especially

b/c we've been at work all day...we probably spend a good 2-3 hours

washing the carrots and juicing for that night and the next work day.

 

one other question. after this cleanse is over i plan to do a couple

of days of all raw foods. is there anything else necessary to come

off of this cleanse. i've read all kinds of things about worries

people have on different cleanses that cause toxins to actually be

trapped in the liver and kidneys...so they do liver flushes etc. is

anything like this necessary...or does the olive oil already take

care of this?

 

luv laura

Laura,

 

You are all set to go. You will not need to do a liver flush after doing this cleanse. You can if you wish but not necessary. You just want to break from the juice to a very easy to digest raw green leafy vegetable salad. Then go from there and for several days is really a good idea. You never know, you might actually like it and decide to make it permanent.

 

Glad you are having fun with it. That is the one thing that can make or break any fast or cleanse. Gotta have fun with it.

 

Glad your DH is doing it with you. That always helps.

Laura, for what it's worth, I just came off the 3-day juice

cleansing and experienced watery bowel action at times during the

three days. I juiced organic apples and alternated it every 1/2 hour

with distilled water. I didn't experience any stomach aches though -

but I suspect that everyone has a different reaction. I used

organic sesame oil since I didn't have organic olive oil. I drank

the required prune juice as well and used Dr Chris' Lower Bowel

capsules.

[Guest guest]

thank you to both you and don for all of the advice and words of

experience. i'm doing better today than yesterday...no horrible

cramping though my elimination is still pretty much all liquid. i'm

just going to keep on going with it and assume that all is good. i'm

also staying home from work tomorrow, which will be a very nice way

to end this.

luv laura
