    Hi, I did this for 6 days and didn’t get to the expected final stage of the cleanse. Any ideas on why? I wonder if there are cases like mine where this cleanse just doesn’t work.

    I’m in the middle of Day 3 and nothing close to clear coming out yet. I’m having about a dozen diarrhea movements a day. Should I continue another day or two until it’s clear … or stop because 3 days is as long as I should go?

    Thanks!

    I’m pregnant, so I can’t clense right now, but could I use this method to get things moving? Pregnancy has a nasty side effect of constipation in the third trimester.

    Elizabeth,
    Hi. I am very interested of this apple juice cleanse but instead of store bought juice, I want to juice fresh apples instead. Is there a particular kind of apple you would recommend? The reason why I can’t do the juices In a bottle is that it’s just too sweet for me. Thanks.

    I have been very excited to try this cleanse and finally got a few days off work! Within just a half hour of starting this morning, things have already been moving right along. I was hoping to pass solids, but I suppose it might be a good thing there wasn’t much in the way? Or might there be some more to come? Just wondering what to expect! Thanks!

    Can I stop after one day if I’m already just having clear stuff come out…actually nothing is really coming out anymore except gas. But I did go a TON today, but it seems to be done now.

    My wife and I have tried many kinds of cleanse products and eventually landed on the Dr Max Powers 15 Day Cleanse. After reading many reviews, I ordered the first bottles early this year and liked the results. They really shine when we travel because they don’t cause any discomfort and give you regularity. I usually take 2 capsules after dinner and my morning routine goes smoothly.

    Hi!

    I started this apple juice cleanse yesterday but I left my good quality water at home and I was stuck at work I drank 1 gallon of unfiltered apple juice and again today I left the water but also drank another gallon of water. Is this ok? I’m using the bathroom quite frequently and my bum is sore but it’s not getting clear not sure if its because I’m not drinking the water or I need to do it another day or so

    Hi Elizabeth,

    I have suffered from chronic constipation – due to stress apparently – since I was 13 (26 now) and have been thinking about doing this for a while. However I am at the end of Day 3 and still have solid stools (at least I’m going!). I know it takes longer for some people, do you think I should stick it out? I have been to so many doctors who don’t help and would love for this to work… Thanks for you help and this great article.

      I’ve heard it’s normal to feel awful and have headaches while cleansing, it’s from the toxins. I read somewhere else that a bath with epsom salts can help, and taking some activated charcoal should help, but make sure you keep things moving. Maybe try Christopher’s Lower Bowel Formula or something similar.

    They include high protein intake, getting involved in extensive excersize, keeping away anxiety, absorbing plenty of water etc.

    This week it has been proposed that green tea, which has many other uses with

    Hi Elizabeth,

    I drank 16oz of prune juice last evening before bed and then officially started this cleanse this morning. I had the 16oz of prune juice (I drank it warm to aid in digestion) followed by the water, and I have been through 3 rounds of apple juice and water alternation and still haven’t managed to pass anything except a little stinky gas (I have been producing urine just fine). Do you have any advice for me to get things moving or do I just need to be patient? I have never done any sort of colon cleanse in the past. Thanks!

    This cleanse can be done with many juices, though apple is preferred because of it’s amazing blood purifying properties. But, once your start with one juice, stay with it for the whole cleanse. I have done this cleanse with apple and carrot juices. Also, if you absolutely need some solid food, you can eat your fruit/vegetable – apple with apple juice, carrot with carrot juice, etc. You can use grape juice for this cleanse, but you have to be careful, I have yet to find a processed grape juice that was completely raw and free of additives. Also, you should take 1-3 Tbs. of olive oil three times daily (I really hate it so I mix it in with the last bit of my juice).
    Good luck everyone! This is a great cleanse!

    I just started the cleanse today. I’m hopeful. About 2 hours after starting with the prune juice and I’ve already had 3 bowel movements. (I usually go in the morning after breakfast so I’m not really counting the first one.) I want to know if more water than is required is ok though? I usually drink a gallon of water a day and I’m feeling a little underhydrated. Also, I’m adding a tablespoon or two of coconut oil rather than olive oil to an herbal liver & kidney detox tea by Yogi. I’ll let you know how things go. This is my first juice cleanse/fast.

    Something must be very wrong with me because I am on my second day and am actually constipated. I had to take two senna pills last night. I did the prune juice and the apple juice and water every 30 minutes and have got lots of gas and bloating but that is about it. I am thinking of just going to the end of today and then stopping. I have IBS and chronic gastritis and also, a slow functioning gallbladder. Could all this be my problem?

    I tried thos cleanse and loved it. My stomach felt great. I have chronic constipation. unfortunately I only made ot thru 1 day because my rear end was so sore I couldnt do it anymore. Dr. Christopher mentions other juices you use. I have some time off work coming up and am wanting to try again however I may try a different juice. If there is a suggestion that would be great.

    Elizabeth, I notice you didn’t answer the question asked by two different people in the comments above. I have the same question: will this fast cause the gross impacted material to leave the colon walls, or is it just a glorified laxative? In other words, would a colonic be necessary to get the truly gross stuff out? It’s an important consideration before I commit to trying the cleanse. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,

    I’m just embarking on the version of this cleanse that involves 5 days fasting with apple juice/psyllium/bentonite clay mixtures five times a day. It sounds great, but I have a candida problem and the apple juice seems to be really exacerbating symptoms. Could you suggest a suitable substitute that is less sugary? Or is apple juice the only real option?

    Many thanks,

    Jamie

    I successfully completed this apple cleanse about a year ago. By the 2nd day, everything was clear and I felt great. However, I just completed a 3 1/2 day course of this same cleanse (used the same ingredients) and did not get the same results. What came out never turned clear after 3 1/2 days! I’d be in the bathroom frequently in the mornings but hardly at all in the afternoons. I even added lemon juice to help but to no avail. What’s wrong? Do I need to do a repeat?

    Another great cleanse is from Blessed Herbs, which uses apple juice as a “mixer” with their “toxin absorber” powder……i’ve done this cleanse twice and it’s wonderful! You can do 5 days or 8, but 5 days brings amazing results. I’m a runner and yogini and while sweating as much as i do rids my body of junk, this colon cleanse is life changing. First couple of days are rough, like with any cleanse, but give it a try!! Minimum 5lbs weight loss and getting rid of colonic plaque and old “rubble” is just terrific!

    I just started my cleanse today. I just downed the prune juice, I could not find unfiltered, but did find unsweeten and organic. As far as the apple juice, I did find unfiltered, so I am good to go. I have felt terrible for about a year. My Doctor says its stress. So wish me luck. I will keep you posted as it also helps me too.

    to add to the result
    No sweating for 2 years because cannot drink too much water so I ask the patient to go to a sauna steam bath and wella all the skin poeres opened and that reduce the swelling in the feet / numbness
    Now He can regularly drink 4 to 8 glass of water and normal vowel movement
    The acid in the pineapple helps including the stem from the green leafy leaves as laxative

    Hi to all
    Will try this apple juice tomorrow
    From my experience with stage 4 colon cancer
    where only droplets in urine for 2 years and twice a week dialysis.. I recommended the following
    Sliced pine apple juice from Del Monte 2 pieces and or 1/4 slice of pineapple fresh
    and 5 stems of Pechay or green leafy leaves(w/o leaves) into a juicer for a glass

    Drink it after meals 3 x a day result
    after 3 days urine comes out and no swelling of the feet dialysis was reduced to once a month and laxative fruits such as papya and one tsbpn virgine coconut oil as laxative

    hope this help

    I completed day three with no aches, no discomfort whatsoever, and a bit of an appetite. I munched on a cauliflower with a little homemade tahini just to curb the appetite.

    My belly was so full and round each night, but in the mornings flat as a board. I ended up losing 5 pounds, mostly due to toxin expulsion and the water molecules that cling to toxins to protect us.

    I modified a bit on the third day, and instead of taking apple juice I made vegetable juices (cabbage, celery, cucumber, garlic, ginger and lime).

    This fast was a great experience, even better than the spiritual water fasts I have completed in the past. It is a soft and calming experience.

    I am on day two of the three day colon cleanse. I am so grateful for this new beginning, this healing and rejuvenating cleanse! I bought seedless prunes (way more than I needed I think) and blended it with filtered water until creamy. I forget to soak them first, which should help to blend it. If you soak, remember to use filtered water and then add the soak water to the drink when blending. My blend comes out rather thick, which I don’t mind although prune juice is not a favorite of mine at all. On the second day, I actually took a spoon to the prune juice and ate it like yogurt to better ‘chew’ each mouthful. I bought two big bags of apples which seems to be about the right amount. It takes four apples in my LeLanne juicer to make 16 ounces. I take in a spoonful of extra virgin olive oil before each 16 ounce serving of apple juice, according to Dr. Christopher’s colon cleanse.

    After reading this post, I decided to break away from the regimen a bit, and added one lime and a bit of ginger to the juice. Superb.

    My symptoms have been slight headaches, and my boyfriend complained of a really noisy belly but I don’t so much think of the belly rumblings as a symptom. By the first evening, I was expelling so much I began to use Preparation H before and after a movement as I felt my rear a little irritated. No problems today with that. Today on day two I developed very oily skin on my face. And my mouth tastes somewhat sour. I am quite accustomed to a low-energy body during a fast, but I guess I should mention it. This should be a time of repose, with good books and certain internet sites to inspire and teach us.

    The challenge for me has been to take in the liquids at every half hour which has probably slowed down my progress. Also it is a challenge for me to chew the juice, but I am trying my best!

    The benefits are extraordinary, really. My mind is calm and peaceful. On day two, I am told I look very healthy, and I guess this is even despite my oily forehead. I think it helps to pray in this time and visualize your body healing itself, expelling toxins, releasing stones. While I am primarily doing this fast to bring my organism back into balance, I am doing it as that shift will bring my mind back into balance as well. And, my soul, which even just now, posting on this blog, is feeling balance and contentment.

    Peace.

    I went from a daily normal sized bowel movement to very small movements every 2-3 days suddenly about a month ago. Diet hadn’t changed, but I had started drinking more colas and really no pure water at all. After a few weeks of eating more fibers without any improvement in the situation I decided to try this diet. I was also starting to get a lot of cramping, tingling in my belly and groin, and my stomach was becoming increasingly firm. Considering I didn’t have more than 4 small movements in 3 weeks this is no surprise.

    I have done this fast in the past, but primarily because I was sick and had no appetite and needed to take in some calories, so I decided to try it again, this time hoping to clear out what surely was severe constipation.

    I did what’s described exactly, organic prune juice + lemon juice in the morning and organic apple juice + lemon juice and water all day. I got the expected loose bowels and after 4 days I finally saw things coming out “clear”. I went the extra step of oil+fresh grapefruit juice cleanse on the morning of the fifth day and continued apple juice until dinner that night. I expelled a number of tiny green stones, but nothing big, and no pain.

    Started to eat small, light meals and I’m back to eating normally after a week, although my portions are still smaller than they were which is a good thing. Only thing that worried me was I didn’t have a bowel movement for 4 days after I started taking in solid foods again and was actually about to start drinking some prune juice again to kickstart things then things started moving and I’ve been regular with soft (not loose, but not rock hard like I had before) movements.

    It’s good to be regular again. Thank you!

    Thanks for the info! Just wanted to ask how long should you be alternating the apple juice and water for? I tend to stay up late so would I have to keep on doing it until I sleep? Also, literally every 30 minutes I have to be drinking something?

    Thanks in advance! Hoping to start over the weekend!

    Started today. I am running organic apples through my juicer. It takes about 2 apples per 8oz glass. I am pretty sure I won’t drink apple juice again for a long time LOL. An easy way for me to remember is I am juicing on the hour and doing water at :30. I have a lot of digestive “issues” so I will continue to update. Wish me luck!

    Does drinking unfiltered apple juice daily help with keeping the buildup from returning after a cleanse?

    I just did a three week detox (CLEAN by alejandro junger). Is it okay if I do this colon cleanse two weeks after the detox? Is it too quick for another cleansing of my system? (I constipated during the detox). And I bought Mornin Glory’s organic prune juice – a water extract of dried prunes. Is this considered unfiltered juice? What does unfiltered mean (does it mean with the fibre in it?) Sorry for the overload of Qs! And thanks in advance!

    This is a 3 day cleanse from Dr. John R. Christopher. Please google him in order to do this properly. He has step by step instructions & if it isn’t written, then it is NOT apart of the cleanse. This cleanse is then followed by a dietary change in which you avoid all mucus causing food. You may also google mucusless diet as Dr. Christopher has this cleanse & diet published in his book.

    I am fascinated by all this and have thought of trying this cleanse;however I’m wondering why there are no comments since 3/10. When I check the “newer comments” on my computer all I get is the old ones. Are you still out there?

    Hi Elizabeth,

    Just wanted to ask one more question…..you say that you should run clear on the last day is that through the bowel as well. I mean it should just be clear with no substance to it? Also how much weight do people normally loose. I am not overweight could lose about 10 lbs or so which wouldn’t hurt. I wear a size 10 in womens. Just wondering. Thank you

    Great Post. I really appreciate your opinions on this subject, especially letting others know the importance of keep the colon clean for optimal health.

    I like to add lemon to my prune juice or apple juice because it leaves a better taste in my mouth, not a sweet taste which makes me crave sweets.

    Yvette- I have never done a grape juice cleanse, but if it has worked for you that’s great.

    It is possible to do too many cleanses in too short of a time period, so I would always err on the side of caution. If you need to do a colon cleanse more frequently than once a year I would consider changing your diet and visiting a colon hydrotherapist.

    Sasha- I find the best results with cloudy apple juice.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    My Mom and I used to do this and it really works….however we have done it with Grape juice as well. Is apple juice better? We are anemic and so the grape juice has the iron in it so it helps.

    Thanks,

      No, unfortunately it will not work. The apple juice has to be unfiltered apple juice. Your local health food store should have large gallon glass jars of apple juice. There should be matter settled in the bottom that you have to shake up before you drink it. If it doesn’t, you have the wrong stuff my dear. It makes a huge difference, your body needs those nutrients. Costco doesn’t sell it. Like I said your local health food store will carry it. You will drink about a gallon or more a day, so buy 3. Or consider getting a juicer, and jucing your own. 🙂

    After researching several types of cleanses I’ve decided to try this one. I like the all natural approach and its seems simple and effective. I will be doing on my days off, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

    I will post beginning and end results, with a daily update each day. I’m aware individual results may vary, I just thought some people might like to hear about others progress. Especially if they are on the fence about whether or not to try it.

    See you all in a few days.

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting these instructions! I would like to do a colon cleanse but have suffered with candida. The Master Cleanse was great, but really exasperated my condition due to all the maple syrup. This one sounds really sugary too – do you have any suggestions? I really appreciate your help! Best Wishes~

    These are great instructions on this cleanse! I’ve always wanted to try, but I was concerned because I have a sensitive stomach [though I’m sure this cleanse will help that]. Should I just do the cleanse for 2 days at first, and then work up to 4? Maybe also taking extra days to build up to solids? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

    If you’re going to fresh-squeeze, I wouldn’t think the type of apple would make any difference. I would choose one you like.

    I’ve never heard anything about eating the skins for this cleanse, though my gut tells me that it would be fine, if you wanted to. Extra fiber.

    As for continuing on prune juice after the cleanse: I can’t think of any reason not to. You should feel free to eat/drink prunes at any time in your life as they only contain good stuff that your body can use. We keep prunes around to snack on at our house.

    Sometimes after a bowel purge from any cause the bowels will feel sluggish afterward. Usually this works itself out in a few days. Prunes will help!

    Several days after breaking the fast; I seem to be constipated and sluggish. I have done this several times and it seems to be the same case always. I did drink a lot of water and slowly added vegetables and fruits in. I am thinking it might, because i went off the prune juice too quickly and should have continued using it after the fast, but it smaller amounts. Any thoughts and solutions? Thanks

    I am looking for a colon cleanse, and considered getting a tea. I would be willing to give this a try, since I juice anyway. Really what I am looking for (at the risk of sounding disgusting) is to see the nasty stuff that they show you on the colon cleanse commercials. I have never colon cleansed before, so i’m sure that after 30 years of eating crap, that I have some buildup. Will I “see” the results in that way?

    Hi Ca- I have no idea if you will accomplish the same effects from simply eating apples rather than drinking the juice. It’s an interesting idea. It might be worth looking into how many apples are squeezed to make 1 cup of juice… Please let us know if you try it!

    Yes the bloating is very normal. On day one I was extremely bloated and very tired! It wiped me out. I did 4 days in total and after the second day started feeling much better. By the end of day 4 I had lost 8.5lbs and felt fantastic. I plan on doing this diet once a month now. I was never hungry on this diet, and totally recommend it.

    I’m on my 4th day of the cleanse. Only plan on doing it for 4 days. I have to say that I have not felt hungry once. Started on a Monday morning. Drinking the prune juice is hard as it is gross but I just suck it up. Mind u I don’t drink 16oz, probably around 8oz. After the first day I felt extremely bloated and very tired. Day two was much better. By day 3 I even managed to squeeze in a spin class. Today is my last day and so far so good. I feel great and thin!!! Plan on weighing myself tomorrow to see how much I’ve lost. On day 3 I was down 3.5lbs and I feel like I have lost more. This is my first cleanse and I’m surprised I stuck with it. I totally recommend this. I just used jars of organic unfiltered apple juice from the store.

    Helen- Try to drink the cleanest water possible is the best advice I can give you. Here’s where I talk more about quality drinking water:
    http://elizabethyarnell.com/effortlesseating/2008/12/why-drink-water-lose-weight-save-money-save-the-planet/

    As for those of you asking about adding psyllium or flax seeds (for fiber) & bentonite clay (binds toxins for better elimination), these can help a colon cleanse for sure, though I’ve never used them myself. Look here for more info about using them as part of a colon cleanse:
    http://www.healingdaily.com/colon-kidney-detoxification.htm

    As for the “Master Cleanse,” just be careful when doing it and be sure to stop if you experience swelling in your feet and legs. The Master Cleanse is not the same as a colon cleanse.

    I have a similar diet, only you drink 5 glasses of the unfiltered apple juice a day and water. Yet it tells you to add psyllium & benetonite. They are to help pass the impacted matter along the colon walls. Will your cleanse do the same thing?
