Hi Jane,

No being diabetic has not much to do with your acid stomach. Not knowing

much of your history makes this a tough call. Could be lots of reasons

why you are suffering from acid indigestion. Maybe, just maybe your

stomach is beginning to work properly again too. You would be surprised

what a cleanse can effect and affect. Let us know if it improves or gets

worse.

Peace be with you Jane.

The acid is staying about the same. I am drinking two quarts of

lemon juice a day.

I thought lemon juice was supposed to be alkalizing? Why would I

get and acid stomach from it?

Jane

P.S. I have been on this cleanse before (about 10-12yrs ago) and I

don't remember having this problem then.

===========================

Hi Jane,

The tongue is the mirror of the inside of your body according to Prof.

Ehret. Coated tongue means toxic mucus laden body. Fasting and cleansing

and cleaning up the diet will solve that eventually. Getting rid of the

mucus forming foods will help greatly, dairy, meats, processed foods,

junk foods, etc.

The stomach indigestion is most likely coming from the diet. Now that

you are cleansing your stomach is getting rid of lots of toxic waste and

mucus that gets built up inside the stomach from eating all the wrong

foods. As you cleanse this should clear up over time. However, don't

expect it to do so immediately. It may take some time and if you go on

an all raw food diet after your cleanse that will assist in this area as

well.

Peace be with you Jane.

Jane,

The juice of a lemon is acidic (low ph).....citric acid. That's why

it tastes sour, that's why you have to be careful of too much contact

with tooth enamel.

http://scienceathome.cienciaviva.pt/pilha_limao_eng.html ;-)

I no longer get into much of the acid/alkaline balance because it is

much more complicated than most folks realize. The optimum balance

varies in different parts of the body. But I will add that the

alkalizing effect is probably one that takes place in the

blood...altho I am no expert. Also, perhaps it is LESS acidic than

stomach acid. I also did the MC years after I had done it and

the 'flushing' effect gave me hemmorroids!! I think the MC is for

our younger years/or a still strong constituion. As fasting might be,

unless you have done it short-term on a regular basis thruout your life.

Anyone who has depleted adrenals (or possibly other endocrine gland

problems)should not fast, no matter what.

Starting the day with a little warm lemon water is not a bad

idea....good for the liver....but listen to your body. It may want

you to cleanse in another way...we are all different.

BTW: I am also no fan of inducing a Herxheimer Reaction.

======================

Hi Jane,

Yes lemon juice is alkalinizing. No it is not causing your acid

indigestion unless you are literally drinking two quarts of plain lemon

juice with no water added per day. I hope this is not what you are

doing. I hope you are drinking two quarts of water with lemon juice

added along with maple syrup and cayenne per day.

A lot of things can change in the body in 10 - 12 years.

Don,

Thanks for all the info. I was using capsules of cayenne with my

juice, because I couldn't drink it with very much in it and I wanted

to be able to get more cayenne. I had some bad stomach cramping on

my left side just under my ribcage on my 8th night on the cleanse,

so my husband told me I had to go off it early. I started the

orange juice on Friday. I will keep your information for future

use, however. I do want to go on this again in the near future. I

was happy to see my tongue was starting to turn pink again on day

8. Still not totally pink, but at least you could see the pink

through the coating.

What if you take cayenne in a capsule and wash it down with a drink with

just a little cayenne so you body will process that it's hot but so you'll

get more cayenne than you can tolerate drinking?

I'm a HUGE weeny when it comes to things being hot. Even medium salsa gets

my head spinnin around in circles.

Sometimes, like with TT, if I put it in capsules, I can feel the capsule

deteriorating in my throat already! So I'd think a capsule of cayenne

wouldn't take much time to break open at all.

Just wonderin.... am a weenie trying to find a way to take more cayenne.

Hi Candace,

I have never tried it so I am not sure how it will work. However, I say

give it a try and then let us all know how it works for you. Maybe that

will be a much better way of doing it than to just take capsules and

experiencing a nuclear explosion in your stomach or just drinking it and

getting a good idea of drinking molten lava. This might make it a whole

lot better.

Peace be with you Candace.

Don,

Maybe this is what happened to me this morning.. the cayenne in the drink hit hard on an empty stomach and just came back.. I felt fine since I upchucked.. it sure burned going down.. fine in the tummy for about an hour then wham! Bam! I might try that capsule thing... and just drink lots of water afterward.. through the day....

Also.. may I get nosey?? You seem to be very knowledgable in all this.. are you a teacher or doctor or something?/ Did I miss something about you?? Not questioning anything you have said just wondering about credentials or experience.. like I said just being nosey..

===============================

Hi Gypsi,

What are my qualifications. Hmmm.... let me see now, I am a certified

Master Herbalist, Aromatherapist, I have studied nutrition, anatomy &

physiology, biochemistry, and currently working towards certification as

a Natural Hygienist; I am a Reike Master, and I am just plain curious

about the human body and all of its workings or lack thereof. I was

considering Naturopathy school but opted for Natural Hygiene instead. I

believe it is a more natural and holistic way than any other methods I

have come across.

I have studied most of Dr. 's work, a lot of Dr. Schulz's

work and many others in all fields of health. I have helped many through

cleansing of their bodies, fasting and changing their diets and

lifestyles. I am a naturalist and believe totally in the ability of

nature to provide all that man needs for his health. It is because of

our own choices to not follow natural laws that we end up in poor

health. I realize these aren't FDA or pharmaceutical/allopathic condoned

credentials but there you have it. I practice what I preach, am not

perfect and am still striving to improve my own health.

Basically, I am a teacher. I teach others how to achieve better health

and awareness. I teach them how to heal themselves. I have been doing

this for over 5 years now on a constant basis. I fast, cleanse,

meditate, and eat only raw living foods. I exercise regularly, get lots

of fresh air and I get lots of sun. Most importantly for me, is to offer

hope to people who have lost the way. To let them know that their sick,

dis-eased and allopathically/pharmaceutically tortured bodies can be

healed if they are willing to do the work necessary. I can only show

them the way. It is their choice whether they choose to follow it or

not. So I do hope that this answers you nosey questions. LOL

A doctor is nothing more than a teacher and most of them are not very

good at teaching. Peace be with you Gypsi.

Don,

thank you for answering my questions. I hope I did not offend you at all. It was not my intention to do that.

As for FDA or other condoning.. well... makes no never mind to me. with the way the FDA and other political officials screw up and mess us up.. those types of credentials do not impress me anyway. You, just intrigued me and my thirst for knowledge quenched when I read this list and when you answer. I could only pray for your kind of knowledge.. I read alot but have not done much in regards to schooling. Although I would love to go to school for learning herbs and their medicinal qualities. I would just love to have your knowledge so I would not feel I am fumbling and doing something wrong.

I was reading "Back to Eden" last night and it confirmed our thoughts on the cayenne's effect on my system and why I got sick.I am almost afraid to continue with this as I sure do not like that feeling... But I know if I don't I will get worse health wise anyway.. so I chose to be healthier and continue... just bracing myself for how toxic my body is . Told my hubby last night that I need at least a week to get through this without having to worry about working.. He is not happy with that as he wants me out there looking for work... Maybe I will just have to start with the raw foods and juices and go from there.

By puffy, I ment.. my eyes were really swolen and puffy like i get when I have allergies.. my hands were swolen like when I am retaining water..my ring was tighter then usual. the amount of cayenne i used was about a 1/4th teaspoon in a 32 oz glass of the "lemonade".

Wish I was closer to have you teach.. really teach me ..I am very happy and satisfied with all you have learned and know. not that you need my blessings..lol but I thank you...for you knowledge and help on this list.

==================================================

Hi Gypsi,

No you didn't offend me. No one has that kind of power over another.

Only I can choose to be offended or not. Nobody can make you, me or

anyone else be or do anything we don't wish to be or do unless we so

choose. We are truly our own creators.

I started out reading lots of this stuff at a very young age. I just had

a natural interest in it. I actually started out studying the allopathic

way. It just never set well with me so I ventured into a different

direction. Most of what I know comes from my own searching for truth

There is truth in everything and I find it everywhere. I read on many,

many subjects. I have studied and still am studying many, many different

subjects. I will never stop learning nor will I ever stop seeking truth.

I have too much I wish to understand. Besides, it good exercise for the

brain. ;-)

The more I know the more I know that I don't know much of what there is

to truly know. LOL There are a lot of good schools out there for

learning about herbs and their uses. Shoot, there are a lot of good

schools out there on just about every aspect of alternative health. If

it is truly something your wish to do set yourself a goal and work

towards it. It will happen if you truly wish it to.

It is very possible that using that much cayenne could have been too

much of a shock for your body and it just didn't know how to deal with

it. You might try cutting the cayenne down by half to 1/8 tspn. or even

to 1/16 tspn. Then slowly work your way up to more over the course of

several weeks. If you still experience the problem even at that level

then don't use it. There are always other options.

I do thank you for your kind words Gypsi, peace be with you.

I have seen the Master Cleanse done with stevia instead. I don't know how far

you are along in all this but it is just enough to be on the diet in the

beginning. I tried doing a fast a month or two in and got really ill.

Why do you want to do the fast? How long are you along in the candida diet?

What symptoms are you having now?

I got really sick on this fast. I did it about a year

I would hold off on the cleanse and just keep up with what you are doing. You

don't need a setback right now. Keep eating good fats, oils, and proteins etc.

and your body will continue to heal.
