My Clay Cleanse Experience




The time finally arrived.  I had been recommending the Clay Cleanse for years and know of many, many people who have done it with fantastic results.  I myself had been unable to do it because I've been either pregnant or breastfeeding for the last 4 1/2 years.  You never want to do a cleanse while pregnant or breastfeeding.  Those toxins can end up in baby through your blood and through your milk.

I definitely felt the pressure in doing this cleanse, since I'm the one who put it together.  This was good, because the first two days was definitely tough and that pressure got me through.  I was really tired and I wanted to eat really bad.  I'm such a snacker so I had to retrain my mind so I wouldn't just grab this or that and throw it in my mouth.  I did the coffee enema's each night and they definitely gave me an energy boost and took away my headache.  I'm amazed how well they really work.  I know enema's may really scare people, but they can definitely make things easier.

Day 3 was still pretty tough, but not near as bad as day 1 and 2.  I knew relief was around the corner, so it got me through day 3.  Everyone talks about how easy it gets on day 4, and they were right!  Day 4 I had great energy, no hunger pains, and I felt so much "lighter".

I started passing the weird stool on day 2 and it continued through the whole cleanse.  I know some of it comes from the psyllium, but I definitely saw things that I hadn't been consuming come out as well.

By the end of day 7 I was so ready to eat again!  My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach and I ate WAY too much food!  Start slow, people!  Because my digestion had been shut down for days, it didn't really kick in well and I was BLOATED!  I know it will be hard, but I really think you should break the cleanse slowly with fruits and veggies in small amounts until your digestion kicks in full steam again.  Taking enzymes can help as well.

I continued to finish out my clay and psyllium by taking it twice a day.  It still absorbs toxins, even when you are eating again.  Just be sure and take it an hour away from your vitamins and supplements.

My skin looks better, my energy level is better, and my digestion is better.  Don't forget to replenish with probiotics when you're finished!  It's essential!

I'm continuing to get emails from people who are doing the cleanse.  Jump on board!  You'll be glad you did!
