do it again with a different juice. Other than that it sounds great.

Best to you on this and have fun, fun, fun. Peace be with you Holly. "

Thank you, Don. After checking out the 3 day cleanse in the files (glad

I'd caught Suzi's message), I began the following this morning: prune juice

in the a.m., OJ and water, and olive oil (1 tablespoon three times daily.)

(No TN or other supplements.) A bonus to all the orange peels is that I'm

now inspired to make homemade vitamin C.

Regards,

Holly

Hmmmm, sounds to me like you should try this for 6 days instead of

three. Glad that you did it though and I do know that you have

experienced positive results from doing so. The more you do this the

better off you will be. Do try the 6 day or even longer if you choose.

The hunger passes after the first couple of days and you will feel just

incredible.

Good for you on using those citrus peelings. Just make sure that you

wash all citrus before you juice cut them for juicing. Citrus growers

are notorious for using sprays on their fruits. It is easier to wash

them first and then cut them open. LOL

Also good job on the sprouting. You can't ever go wrong there.

Thanks for the input! Hey, and the nasal passages are still free and

clear...I'll definitely keep a 6 day cleanse in mind and will make time in

the future for being at home for the duration of a 6 day cleanse. I felt it

was a good choice to stay close to home for two reasons: 1) it facilitated

the introspective dimension of the cleanse and 2) in the event of a 'healing

crisis', I knew I could rest, etc., more comfortably at home than elsewhere.

Yes, I washed the fruits prior to using them. Even though the citrus was

organic, I realize the bags had been sitting on shelves, etc.

Well, seeing the growth of the mung beans sprouts is just delightful! It's

interesting how one small positive change can lead to other positive

changes...and, in addition, I'll save some money on sprouts now.

Again, I'm appreciative of the info and support on this list.

Regards,

Holly

Hi Holly,

Yes it is a good idea to hang out at home when doing these cleanses. At

least until you get to know how your body will react and what to expect.

Then it is moderately safe to venture in the great outdoors. I am glad

that your nasal passages and sinuses are clear. This is a plus. You are

going to be surprised by the six day cleanse. Hehehehe It really is great.

Yes, you definitely save on sprouting your own. Mung beans, lentils,

garbanzos, etc. So many different ways you can use them too.

You are very welcome for the help, info, and advice. That is what we are

about. Everyone helping one another get over the humps in life and work

a little harder on being totally responsible for our health and well being.

Peace be with you Holly.
