[YEA] 07/13/2008: Robert Henry from Ten Mile, Tennessee writes: "I agree with most on this site, but why does infrared sauna not get discussed? Sweating from deep in your fat is when you give up your toxins. That is where your toxins are stored and this site gives little credience to this. The reason folks bring back carts at WalMart is that they are so fat that they need assistance to shop. They put their big bellies in the cart and away they go. Obesity is not about over eating, it's about toxins. Once I learned this, the inches began to shuck. Lost a lot of weight but mostly inches. Clean your bowels, clean your liver, clean your lymph.
An infrared sauna is just part of the solution. How 'bout us discussing it?"
07/14/2008: Confused replies: "Am I missing something here. I don't understand Robert's comments about walmart at all - makes no sense."

[YEA] 04/21/2007: Marc from Koloa, Hawaii writes: "I tried eating the Korean food, Kimchee after learning about it in school. It turns out that Kimchee contains a good bacteria called lactobacilli that helps the stomach the same way ACV does. It is also considered as one of the most healthiest food in the world by the Health Magazine. You can buy Kimchee on the Oriental section of US supermarkets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimchi"

[WARNING!] 04/21/2007: A from Granada Hills, CA writes: "I read the comment about kimchee being a healthy food. I personally like kimchee but if you look at the ingredients of kimchee and Korean foods in generally, it is loaded with MSG, which is poison to the body. So beware; look for a brand without MSG."
05/11/2008: Carrie from Toccoa, GA replies: "GREAT ADVICE!!!!!YOU ARE ABSOULUTELY RIGHT."
05/16/2008: Eve from Pleasanton, CA replies: "I am allergic to MSG but I love Kimchee. There are MSG free versions of Kimchee available in local stores. Just be mindful to read the labels. Kimchee is definitely not a low sodium food, but the MSG free is a better option for salt content."

[YEA] 11/04/2007: Alem from Perth, Australia writes: "I have heard about lemon & Honey cures from my over 110 year old grand-grandmother in Bosnia. I was overweight as a child and after starting to drink Lemon and honey tea (juice of ½-1 lemon, little honey and warm water) every morning my whole system has changed. My weight has dropped and I never had a problem with it since. I cant remember the last time I had a cold or flue. Another thing that she told me to do was: When a person feels a cold or flue coming on, to use the juice of 3 lemons and add 5-6 big tablespoons of good honey, mix it well and drink it. I know it sounds horrible, however I can swear by it. I newer got sick."

1 MAYBE
[MAYBE] 05/26/2008: Angela (Broeker[at]sympatico.ca) from Montreal, Quebec, Canada writes: "I had about 15 atleast gallbladder attacks in 2 weeks -hospitalized one night as well and they wanted to take out the gallbladder for my "diamonds" gallstones which I'd had for 16 yrs. at least with no probs. except very sick in my 4 pregnancies because of excess bile... The attacks started due to taking digestive enzymes for 2 days and then going off them. The attacks began the next night with coleslaw, sausages, and saurkraut ..but continued for the next 2 weeks pretty much whatever I ate. In my worst attack I practically crawled to the computer to earthclinic.com. The 1/2 cup lettuce cure came up with 2 yeas. Sent son running to store for it and 20 mins. later after eating the 1/2 c. I had complete relief. As one writer speculated that it stimulated the liver to produce digestive enzymes that would stop the body from calling on the gallbladder to produce digestive bile.. So for the next 24 hrs. I ate nothing but iceberg lettuce -lots of it - and slices of organic apple. The next day I tried out eating whatever I wanted which had caused attacks throughout the prev. 2 wks. (except the cabbage/sausages -bad memory!) Even McDonald's failed to give me an attack. I am so thrilled with this cure of course!
Hearing once recently that digestive enz help people lose a lot of weight, I wonder if the stimulation of the liver a couple times a day with particularly iceberg lettuce (as it's supposed to work the best rather than other lettuces) would be a natural weight loss cure as well? I know it seems to make less of the slight puff around my ankles -more definition. So it might also help with fluid retention. As well my new pretty set wrinkles of 6 mos. ago have almost completely disappeared within a few days of ingesting 3x per day atleast (vertical ones beneath my eyes -not the crow's feet). Try it and I'd love to hear your feedback as I'm a personal trainer and would love to see if it helps people lose weight -at least it brings down the glycemic index of each meal you eat it with some."

[YEA] 07/30/2005: Stephen from VA writes: "Here is a natural cure for losing weight. "LIVER CLEANSE". All the drugs, in my opinion, diet pills, and FAD DIETS you've TRIED your whole life has caused excessive toxic build up in your liver, thus causing your metabolism to slow down, because the food isn't being digested properly as it should (kinda like a traffic jam). After using a liver cleanse, eat a 80% raw diet. Meaning most of your foods should be in their natural organic state, plenty of fruits,veggies,natural oatmeal,water(not tap water),and other foods that don't come in boxes. Stay away from boxed foods. Food isn't the number one problem causing obesity, in my opinion, it's what THEY put in the food that makes you fat (so they can make more money). When you look back at the 1950's or 60's and when you would go to the beach and everyone was pretty much in great shape,now there are more fat people than ever before. All of the huge food companies,in my opinion, put food additives and chemicals to make food taste sweet,when in reality they can cause chemical (toxic) build up in your body-which later on leads to many other health problems. Oh and, if you tried this and have NOT lost any weight check your thyroid, that could be a HUGE problem also. Thank you"

5 YEA 1 NAY 1 WORKED TEMPORARILY
[WORKED TEMPORARILY] 08/04/2008: Chu from Edmond, Oklahoma writes: "i had decided to try the master cleanse for weight loss, i need to loose on 5-10lbs,,,this cleanse is a difficult one to follow but i was able to go through the whole ten days, after the ten days were over i was able to loose those extra pounds i need to lose,,,however only after one week i gained it all back plus 10 extra pounds!!! so do this only if you want to gain weight."
[WARNING!]08/05/2008: Peter from Sao Paulo, Brazil replies: "I have been doing the Master Cleanse for a couple a years, once or twice a year. The longest I have been on it was 21 days.
The MC should NEVER be used as a weight loss program. That is the quickest way to getting an eating disorder.
The MC is a wonderful way to clear up health issues while learing about your body and natural detox processes. You will lose some pounds, but they will most likely come back on. Just make sure you have the right intentions."

[NAY] 04/27/2008: Tracey from NH writes: "I've done juice fast several times with no problems. I've tried the master cleanse twice now. Both times the room was spinning by lunchtime, to the point I had to eat. Not to mention the cayenne turned my stomach something awful."

[YEA] 02/17/2008: Pat from Marble Falls, Texas writes: "I needed to clean my head and body of toxins and fat so I did 20 days on the lemonaid, cayenne and maple syrup fast. It was great. I never felt hungry. I had lots of energy so kept my schedule up no problem. I lost 15 pounds and feel really good. I would recommend this to anyone who needs change. 10 oz. good cold water 1 teaspoon maple syrup the good stuff grade A or better. 1/2 fresh squeezed lemon. Two dashes of cayenne pepper. I added two ice cubes and drank it from a straw. Thanks for this site. I love it!"

[YEA] 12/20/2007: Shaunna from Denver, Colorado writes: "I did the Master Cleanse Lemonade diet for both detoxing and weight loss. My first time out I remained on the lemonade for 21 days. I lost a total of 22 lbs and have kept it off no problem. I have done shorter periods on the lemonade and found that only going at least 21 days resulted in permanent weight loss. The first week is really just your body getting rid of water and toxins so you'll gain that weight back if you stop at just one week. The longer you can remain on the program the greater your detoxing and weight loss results will be. My eyes went from permanently bloodshot to bright white while on the lemonade. I had a ton of energy and no brain fog. One thing to note, if you suspect you may be someone with very low histamine levels this may not be for you. I have low histamine levels (histapenia) and I believe this diet lowers them ever further. I became very short tempered and testy during certain points in the fast. If you are interested look for Stanley Burroughs' book about the Master Cleanser fast"

[YEA] 12/16/2007: Sarah (howardrangel@msn.com) from Salt Lake City, Utah writes: "The Lemonade Cleanse. I lost 25 pounds. You take the juice of half a lemon, real genuine maple syrup grade A,B or C, (not the fake kind. 1/10th of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. You mix that in with 10 oz of water. You drink this anywhere from 6 to 10 times a day. You don't eat anything else. The only other thing you want to take is an herbal lexative tea, and a salt bath. Drink the herbal lexative tea every night before you go to bed, then the salt bath every morning when you wake up. The recipe for the salt bath is 2 teaspoons of sea salt mixed in with a quart of luke warm water. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time before you leave the house, because after drinking the salt water mixture you will be going potty for about 2 hours. I'd buy the booThe Master Cleanser Book by Stanley Burroughs. This book explains the process and answers all your questions. You have to go on the diet for atleast ten days. I really gotta say, it cured my acid indigestion, depression, and all kinds of other things that were wrong with me. I'd reccommend it to anybody.
If you're diabetic you would use Molasses instead of the maple syrup. Just research it first, then go for it."

[YEA] 05/22/2006: Jessie from Knoxville, TN writes: "My Aunt Mary (who's quite heavy) and I (heavy, soon to be quite heavy if I don't do something to change things) were sitting in the emergency room waiting area waiting for news of my grandmother when this little old man leaned over and asked my aunt, "Would you like to lose some weight?" To her credit, rather than gasping, or blushing or getting affronted, Aunt Mary replied, "Absolutely." So the old man pointed to his little old wife and said, "Would you believe that she used to weight over 300 pounds?" Then the old lady took over. Apparently she'd been very heavy, but she stumbled across a weight loss secret that worked wonders for her. According to her, if you mix 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (preferably the "light" rather than the "dark" kind -- but I've only been able to find the dark) and two tablespoons of honey in 1 quart of warm water (warm to dissolve the honey) and drink the mixture over the course of the day, the pounds just fall off. It worked for her, and for numerous friends of hers, and now she tells everyone she meets who she thinks might benefit from the info. I don't know if this works, but I'm giving it a shot -- after all, an extra quart of water per day certainly won't hurt, and ACV isn't bad for you. I'm finding the taste very unpleasant, but a few sips every hour or so is enough to get the whole quart down before the day is over. I don't know if this is easier or harder than the 2-3 tablespoons in a glass of water before meals option, but for those with irregular meal times and locations (like me), gradual consumption from a quart water bottle over the course of the day is an easy answer. We'll see if it works; in the meantime, I figured I'd give the nice old lady's advice a wider audience than a rural Missouri hospital waiting room. Fingers crossed!"

[YEA] Carol from Republic, Washington writes: "The cleanse:
apple cider vinegar (1/2 cup),
juice of two fresh squeezed lemons,
maple syrup (to taste), and
cayenne pepper (as much as you can stand) is a great weight loss combo.....
Go on a fast for one day, only sip this "lemonade" the second day, only liquids and this lemonade the third day, chicken noodle soup and the lemonade (or cabbage soup) the fourth day -- add fresh veggies, not carrots. And the fifth day, one regular meal and the lemonade, and you can be anywhere from 10 to 15 pounds thinner, and feel great!
I used to weigh 289 pounds, I now weigh 135 pounds... and no one believes I am soon to be 47 years old... I also give my hubby the same thing, but substitute black molasses for the honey as he is pre-diabetic. Gives him instant energy and helps him digest his meals and he feels less sluggish,... I love ACV!!"
Doris from Jackson, MI replies: "How much water do you use to make this lemonade? I'm sure you don't just drink the above without water...do you? Thanks for your response because I am anxious to try this one."
11/05/2006: Cheryl from Tecumseh, Ontario replies: "It is NOT true ... that the concoction should be drank without water. Here is the recipe:
How to Make Lemonade
2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)
2 Tbsp genuine maple syrup (not maple flavored sugar syrup)
1/10 Tsp cayenne pepper (red pepper) or to taste
Water, medium hot (spring or purified water)Combine the juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in a 10 oz. glass and fill with medium hot water. (Cold water may be used if preferred.) Use fresh lemons or limes only, never canned lemon or lime juice nor frozen lemonade or frozen juice. Use organic lemons when possible."
05/06/2008: David from Cleveland, Ohio USA replies: "For the ACV lemonade fast that Carol from Washington talked about. What happens after day 5? Do you just repeat day 5 until you are done or do you start over?"

01/20/2007: Jatarra from Fort Myers, FL writes: "I hate to say it but I was raised on a the poverty level of society as I was growing up. My grandmother would do everything she could to keep our family fed and and clothed. She would buy good food, but also some not so healthy choices. Like hot dogs by the pack, and soda by the Liter, because she felt it was cost efficient. So we would normally end up having to buy food that would last the whole month, which included pork, hams, corn dogs, and etc...
If your a child being raised in a crowded home, you usually have to eat what's served on your plate regardless of nutrition. Well what's good for the goose is not necessary good for the gander. Just because Sean is 16 and is a growing boy who play football, doesn't mean 10 year old Sherry can eat a pound of potatoes smothered in butter and a huge sloppy Joe.
I was overweight most of my life. I used to be 180 pounds when I was 16, now I'm down to 145. It's all because I change my life style. Growing up I was mentally depressed. When you are depressed you tend to eat more, because your trying to fulfill an emotional need with food, but all it does is lead to weight gain. Also not having healthy choices leads to bad health. We also eat when were bored, if you having nothing to occupy your mind having some food is one of the first things that tends to go on the I do list.
When I was a little girl I was sheltered and wasn't allowed to do much in the way of having a social life. My guardian was overly protective and gave me a lot negative self talks. I couldn't go to the neighbor's house because their were boys there, but my brothers could go just about anywhere they wanted and could roughhouse all they liked. Play sports, have friends, and participate in after school activities.
I came from an African American family. My family couldn't understand why I would eat so much and they would ridicule me because of my weight and size, and to this day their are lot of emotional scars left behind. I dread gaining and weight and I am constantly trying to get down to 125. It was all ignorance and I suffered alot for something I didn't cause or couldn't help.
The point of what I am trying to say is that children who are overweight cannot help because parents and guardians simply are not giving them right choices. It pains me to see older and younger alike who are in the category of obesity. I want to tell people so badly that the food choices they are making is what's causing this epidemic, as well emotional problems."

[YEA] 03/07/2008: Missy from Toronto, Ontario, , Canada writes: "I researched a tea product that was promoted on Opra as a miracle weight loss. It turns out it was Oolong Tea. I purchased Organic Oolong for myself and a few of my friends as a gift and we all started drinking a couple of cups a day. Lo & Behold, we were loosing weight without changing our sensible diet and without the laxative or diuretic effects of other weight loss teas. People have been commenting to all of us that our faces look slimmer and all of us have lost inches from our waistlines. You will notice very quick results provided you eat a sensible diet. Avoid fried, greasy foods, pastries and watch the weight easily fall off!"

Since then, I have made a major change in my diet even though I had eaten very well before without white flours, sugars and the other problem foods for many years. Now I am eating raw vegan foods and have not only finally dropped almost 40 pounds but my blood sugar levels are down to the mid-90s. I credit eating a raw food lifestyle with all this! My thyroid numbers are also in the more normal range! Lots of good changes that I believe eating a raw food lifestyle made happen."
