Bentonite clay - icky!!
I've been doing this cleanse on and off since 1998. But I had done it for several years (I've done other cleanses). I tried to deal with the horrible taste of the "new" bentonite clay for about three days. OMG it is bad!! I had to switch to store bought bentonite, and it made all the difference. I'm about half way through the cleanse and it is going well. I threw out the two jars of bentonite clay.
28 day cleanse
Awesome cleanse as usual. By the grace of God I was able to complete one full week of each phase - the Master phase being 'where the magic happens'. I released about 12-18 inches a day of mucoid plaque and by the time the Master phase came I did not have any cravings for 'comfort food' and very comfortably finished with only fresh juices. Years ago I had tried various other cleanses with OK results, but when I tried Arise & Shine things really released. I appreciate your cleanse guide that talks about emotional releases. I was able to identify negative emotional releases and thus push through them and feel much more positive.
Thank you for providing these products and your expert guidance!
ENLIGHTENMENT!
I'm in the hospitality industry and my diet was crazy. My health was deteriorating by the minute. I wanted to go on a diet but at the same time cleanse my body. I'm lost for words on the transformation arise & shine has done for me and what it would do for you. You feel a strong sense of clarity, well-being and enlightenment that you won't fine in any other fad diet you try. I don't like to preach but I recommend this to anyone that wants a total health transformation.
Thanks to the team at Arise & shine.

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.
