I've sent them an email, but haven't had a response so I think I will call them again with the hopes of getting an answer. I think by " overwhelmed " they were just trying to say that since a juice fast and a parasite cleanse BOTH create die-off there would be more than there usually would with just the parasite cleanse. I know some have written that eliminating the die-off has caused symptoms of bloating and constipation. So that's possibly what they were referring to. I haven't experienced that yet, but I'm just a few days into it. I will ask them for more specifics about what they mean by 'overwhelmed' and I'll let you know what they tell me. The directions say: " If you experience diarrhea, nausea, headaches, or fatigue, reduce or discontinue use of this product. " But I've read in other places that at least headaches and fatigue can be symptoms of a cleanse of any kind. And normally, stopping a cleanse would be a way to relieve the symptoms but not eliminating the cause of the problem. So I'm a little perplexed at that statement on the directions to a cleanse. However, it could just be a safeguard on their part - perhaps a legal requirement in their directions? I don't really know - just speculating. And so I guess this is just a very long-winded way of saying that I don't really have an answer to your question!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Hi Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It isn't that I'm perplexed about what to do, personally. I was just generally saying that I don't understand why the company would say in one place to stop if a person feels fatigue and then in another place that fatigue is a common symptom of early cleansing stages. It just makes me a little less confident of the company, that's all. And the fact that they told me in a voicemail to use only particular fruits and to stay away from particular vegetables for juicing, but their directions don't indicate that at all. Plenty of people do juicing even if they aren't fasting, so if it's that important I would think they should mention it. Another thing is that the directions say that you " can " take the tincture with a small amount of water, but then it says to take the capsules with 8 oz of water - and to take both at the same time. So you really have to use 8 oz of water with the tincture. It doesn't matter if you take the tincture and then the water - it's all in there. I would just be reluctant to order any other products from this particular company - just a personal preference. Consistency and quality in communication are two important things to me. I'm just venting. Yes, I will listen to my body and if something gets to a point where I think it's too much, I will ease up on the parasite cleanse. It's only for 15 days on, 5 days off and then 15 days on again, anyway, so it will be finished in no time. thanks again for your thoughts, in health, cozad76078@... writes: > The die-off cleansing reactions, as you know, can happen with most any very > powerful body cleanser.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 , The die-off cleansing reactions, as you know, can happen with most any very powerful body cleanser. I got headaches with parasite cleanse. I get headaches with Primal Defense (it's supposed to go for parasites and lots of nasty stuff in there). As long as you can function at whatever you need to, then power on through. Otherwise back off a little. Was pretty sick a few times...wanting to take asprins...but that was a viscious circle that I have faithfully broken. Suffer and get well. But then, I also had the luxury of being able to go to bed and rest when it was bad. Some have to go to jobs (know you do). So don't go too fast. Especially juice fasting. If it was me, I'd eat some vegetable soup and maybe salad. of Dewberry Hill (going through back aches and swollen joints right now), purging old pain killers!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 - (or anyone with advice) You sound like the juicing pro. I have a few questions. I find I can't really fast on juice for more than a day or two because I start to crave salt. I mean out-of-my-mind, gonna- kill-if-I-don't-get-it kind of cravings. I actually sucked all the salt and seasonings off a piece of beef jerky and threw the meat away! Do you fast only on apple juice when you do yours? Is it ok to drink a V8 juice or something for the salt? I want to fast a day or two correctly and then do my first real liver flush. Question two: I drink the juice of a fresh lemon with 2 Tbs. flax oil in the a.m. Do you think this will work for parasites by the time I cleanse if I'm not eating/drinking sugary foods in the meantime? It seems like there are so many cleanses to do just to prepare for the liver cleanse. I feel like I can't get it together to do it right. I'm hoping this lemon/flax mixture everyday, a few days of colon blasting and a day of juice fasting will be enough for me to do the liver cleanse. I just can't " rest " for days at a time living only on juice. My life won't allow it. I wish I could take a month at a resort where these cleansing programs are all you get to eat. In my dreams.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Hi Janet Well...I'm not a pro, but I'll do my best! When you've fasted, have they been fruit juice or vegetable or both? If you include celery with a vegetable juice mix that will go a long way toward those salt cravings. If your cravings are that strong, I'd suggest that you include the celery in your juicing to ward them off, rather then trying to deal with them when they come up and are so strong. When I've done juice fasts in the past I have included a variety of juices - not just apple. This most recent one I only used apple and lemon, but that's just because I'm on ParaGone and I was given a list of recommended juices to use with that. It ruled out carrot and beet, which are two that I had planned to use!! So - my plans got altered a bit. I did start eating again - this ended up being a short term juice fast after all. But I am mainly focusing on eating cleansing things to go along with the ParaGone - in other words, to help move things along. I am still doing a quart of apple juice every day with the juice of a whole lemon, along with including the juice of a whole lemon with two glasses of water in the morning. But that's off-track, I think... As for V8 Juice, while it is better than some things you could get at the grocery store, I'm fairly sure that it would have to have preservatives in it - which is something that's good to avoid generally speaking and definitely during a fast. Fresh juices are your best ally in a fasting period. About the lemon juice and flax oil and parasites - I've never heard of this, so I'm afraid I'm not any help with that. Maybe someone else on the list is familiar with this. I didn't do a parasite cleanse before I started the gallbladder/liver cleansing, though, and didn't experience any ill effects from it. You wrote about not being able to " rest " while living on juice. I just wanted to say that while it's good to give your body adequate rest during any cleanse, I don't believe there's any need for anything out of the ordinary. When I did the 67 day juice fast a couple of years ago I worked right through it. Nobody at work even knew that I was doing it. When the body gets a break from digestion it has more energy for other things, so often a person will actually feel lighter and more energetic. And I agree - a month at a cleansing resort IS a dream!! in health, rachel~~ taylorj@... writes: > - (or anyone with advice) > You sound like the juicing pro.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 Janet, Betsy has a great idea about the celery. It is also a very mild sedative (won't interfere with driving). I would also say that you need to do the water cure (has sea salt in pure water) and drink that all day long. See the home page of The Cure Zone for the Water Cure. Also there are colloidal minerals you can buy at the health food store that are salty tasting and just add a few drops of that to your water. Just be sure you are getting the right amount of the right kind of salt. of Dewberry Hill ----- Original Message ----- From: " Janet " <taylorj@...> <gallstones > Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2002 10:24 AM Subject: Re: ParaGone and juicing and initial results Janet.....Betsy here.......if you want super salty, it's really very simple.
