I did notice one thing since I started the fast - I can't drive safely... My response time on the road was very bad last night, never experienced anything like that. It felt as if I was high. Good thing the theater is 2 minutes from my home, and I doubt I will be doing any driving in the next week. It was just too weird and dangerous.

This "cleansing" fad is the biggest bullshit ever.

"It can be terrifying to believe that one's body is being poisoned by toxins from within. But if this were true, the human race would not have survived, says Vincent F. Cordaro, M.D., an FDA medical officer. "A person who retained wastes and toxins would be very ill and could die if not treated. The whole concept is irrational and unscientific."

So true

If you do enough research, you can find bad opinions just about anything, and that includes diets of all types.

She also says that Americans are healthy. When was the last time she checked obesity rates? That lady is actually the con artist here :)

OMG... that was funny. I didn't see that one coming. :1orglaugh

keep it up azguy! My friend did it and felt great after the 10 days.

Lost 70 lbs on the same one :thumbsup and the only book worth buying about fitness and dieting is:

but Azguy - good luck - just be careful. Changing your weight first begins with changing your life style. :2 cents:

Thanks :) I myself know some people who did it, and I have yet to hear one bad thing about it, other than a bunch of underground sites claiming it's bullshit :)

the book also says the headaches and other physical problems are from your body releasing toxins and poisons.

if you believe anything the book says after that statement, best of luck in life to you, i've got some pills for you that'll make your penis grow!

if you do enough research you'll find out how your body works and realize that your colon is, for all practical purposes, completely outside of your body. what is in it has no effect on you, beyond something to shit out. you have organs, like your big tasty liver that "detoxify" your body, and if anything actually DID "release" the toxins stored in your body, you'd die from them circulating through your system, or your liver would clean them right up again, like it did in the first place. your time would be much better spent in some biology/anatomy/human physiology classes than trying to cleanse your body of what it's already cleansed your body of.

"Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Natural Health, Natural Medicine. "Since your colon constantly sheds its lining, there's no chance for toxins to build up on it. Regular bowel movements from eating a proper diet, drinking plenty of fluids and enjoying daily activity will clean you out naturally."

Even if what you're saying is true - with it isn't - and the colon is completely outside of my body (lol man, the colon is part of the body's digestive system), then how about colon cancer? Is that also a hoax and something that is out of the human body once developed? From all the research I've done, it is clear that colon toxins can cause polyps / small growths on the inner colon lining... and later on Polyps may turn into colon cancer. That's just one reason to detoxify and cleanse your body.

Brb.. time to mix up another lemonade :)
