These pages are an account of our transition through the Mastercleanse Detox programme. This is a 10 day diet designed to cleanse the body and restore good health. We are going on it as a result of a recommendation from a friend in church. We are likely to discuss things here such as our bodily functions. If you are queasy about such matters or don't want to know what we did in the bathroom today, I would recommend you don't continue to read this blob. Here we go .............

Day 7 - Mastercleanse - 28th November

We both went to the bathroom today. Just a little after some griping pains. (What a great way to start a blog). We are still on our morning and evening laxative teas. I shalln't go into too much detail about what is coming out, (or shall I?) suffice to say it's like nothing I've ever seen before. After reading up about this detox , one would hope that what is finally coming out of our systems is the remnants of years of bad eating habits that has finally been renched from the intestinal wall after lingering there for years, clogging up our systems and preventing our food from being digested properly. Imagine what that might look like?

I actually only believe this to be partly true. And guess why? Not so long ago I went for an endoscopy (the one that looks up the bottom if I've got the name wrong) and let me tell you; you have never seen a better picture of health than what was up my bottom. I saw it for myself live on TV and the doctors were all cooing in admiration. A lovely clean, moist and pink colour all round. I'm not sure how far they went up (it felt like they had reached my stomach) but there was absolutely no evidence of the black stuff coming out now! I think it's the lemon juice bits with the maple syrup, congealing as it goes down. At least that sounds better to me.

Julie is suffering more than me. I think she is laggin behind with the lemonade. I manage to drink enough to keep me going but she manages only 4 or 5 a day. She is feeling very tired and wiped out today and she has tons of things to do so it's making her quite miserable. Her most difficult time is afternoon and evening. Both of us a good in the morning. I seem to have more energy than her at the moment.

By the end of the day we were discussing whether we would switch to orange juice tomorrow as she felt she had had enough. Well see what happens.
