Relief from suffering
This is my third time doing this cleanse and I am three weeks into it doing only the mild and gentle phases this time. I have done other detoxes but none are as good or effective as this one. I was sleeping half the day before the cleanse and now stay awake all day. I even wake up without an alarm clock. I got rid of a lot ..... My monthly cycle was painless after a long time as a result of this cleanse. The support staff Patricia is wonderful in replying and guiding to help questions. Since salt is not allowed I used Urfa Biber pepper and Sumac as salt alternatives and they made everything much easier. I hope others can do the same if they miss their salt during this cleanse.
Not ready for it and not easy when caring for family
I really wanted to try this. When I got into it, I did not feel good at all during the cleanse. I felt floaty and really hungry. Then I felt sick to my stomach when I took the cleansing herbs or the bentonite clay. I am guessing I started it before I was ready. And it was hard for me to do this while I was cooking meals for my family. From my perspective, this was an intense cleanse, even on the mild phase. I have had digestion issues for a long time and was hoping this would help, but it was too much for me. I lasted for about four weeks and then stopped.
28 day cleanse
Have done this one a number of times, it was incredible the toxic waste it removes from intestines/colon. Since I hadn't done one in at least 15 years and had lived in Mexico for 6 of those, figured it was time for a tune up. Since I have been a raw vegan for over 20 years, the amount of intestinal plaque has been minimal. However it was obvious that I was carrying a toxic load of something, perhaps from the environment and also organic foods were not always an option. Anyway, I am using this mainly as a springboard to a diet that is just a little lighter in nuts and seeds. Going without, as well as juicing every day will help me to continue on the path to superior health. This cleanse really is the best!
Calm and Connected
I loved the cleanse. It helped my emotional, and physical healing!
28 day cleanse
Just finished full 28 days including master phase. Feel much better, lighter, cleaner, less lethargic. People commented that I was glowing. Lost about 18 pounds, mostly garbage and mucous from the gut. Definitely a challenge to complete, required strong resolve. Glad I did it. This was my third time actually in about 12 years. Great way to reset your eating and lifestyle habits. I do recommend it.
Feeling better and more energetic
I'm just wrapping up the 28-day cleanse, with a couple of days left on the post-cleanse phase. And, on top of feeling better and more energetic, and having a thinner face and whiter teeth, I've lost 22-pounds to date. The cleanse helped me realize how bad my daily habits of coffee, alcohol and heavy foods had become and how I put little thought into eating/drinking those things in excess. Having done this cleanse once before, several years ago, losing about 18 pounds that time, I do have some tips for guaranteeing success on this very challenging diet, depending your primary goal. 1) Spend a few days easing into the food portion of the diet before beginning the shakes and pills. 2) If you're a coffee addict, who drinks 5 cups per day like I did, wean yourself down / off that in the days leading up to the diet...preferably on days when you don't have to work, as your head will hurt and you'll be dizzy. 3) Cheat a little along the way if you need to. Examples: Have 1 alcoholic drink, rather than 4 on a Saturday night. Have nuts for protein more often than recommended through the diet... or corn, or legumes, or whatever. Chances are, if you're like me, it's still better than the steak, potatoes and fried food that you would usually be eating. And, If you must go out to eat with business associates or friends, don't sweat the organic oil and vinegar dressing mandated in the diet, or avoid going out because you're concerned they might not have anything you can eat. Just get the lightest salad dressing available, or order whatever vegetable item they have, without worrying about the fact that it's not prepared in the same manner as it would be if you were at home. Same goes for juices. Go with fresh squeezed as much as possible. But, if you're staring and the store you're at only has juice from concentrate, get it. 4) If you must go out of town for a weekend, feel free to take a break for a few days, continuing to follow the food portion of the diet as best as possible, but forgetting about the shakes and pills. You'll fall off schedule and get discouraged. So, just eat right and resume the full diet when you return to town. All this said, great experience with the cleanse 28. May do it again in a couple of months to keep working toward my ultimate goals. And, re: the bentonite clay change from the old version of the diet to the new one --definitely an improvement as you don't have to keep it refrigerated. Easier to travel with.
physical and emotional challenge, but well worth it
After a tumultuous personal experience, I turned to food, beverages and a lifestyle that were not healthy. My weight increased, my energy was low, my insides felt toxic and possessed a low self of esteem and overall unhappiness.
I wont lie. The master cleanse was the most difficult thing I have ever experienced. It was a challenge like no other. There was a variety of emotions and much self reflection. Each day was a challenge, but as each day progressed, immediately I began feeling results both emotionally and physically. Bloating I had experienced diminished. With the absense of caffeine, my stress and anxiety vanished. Everyday I woke up feeling better and better and friends noticed. Skin problems like eczema diminished and I was told I was glowing. The weight loss was a little scary, but when it was done, I reached a healthy and normal weight. Self esteem returned. I felt better than I have had in a long time. It was an amazing challenge and succeeded. I can't wait to Do it again.
cleanse 28 days
All the products are great and similar to the original Arise ans Shine products.
The only one different is the bentonite which has beeb diluted with water. That is a shame and not necessary except for the company to save money on the product.
Glowing Results
Quite a few years ago, I did the 28 day cleanse. I have to say that the experience was so educational. I could not believe what was coming out of me. By the end of the cleanse that I stayed very close to the instructions, not only was I glowing and feeling better than I ever had in my life, I had also shed my excess weight. Thank you Dr. Anderson for your devotion to radiant health. I am looking forward to cleanse again in the near future
Still the best...
I did this cleanse several times years ago, with great results. When I wanted to get a kit recently I was extremely disappointed to hear they were not available for a while. I have tried other cleanses but NONE come close to what this one does.
When that stuff comes flying out (looking just like the pictures) be ready to experience change!
It takes some discipline and planning but once the routine is set it's not bad. I took my bag of things with me to work and a few other people ordered kits after asking about my stuff.
Follow the instructions in the book; stand back! Good product--it delivers.
