A man with very low energy starts to use Master Formula. He uses about one and a half scoops per day.  After a few weeks at this level he feels terrific.  He is overjoyed to find the answer to his low energy problem.  After a few months, he suddenly has no energy and is very tired.  He decides that Master Formula isn't "working" for him anymore, and stops taking it. 

A lady with hypoglycemia problems is so tired every day in the late afternoon.  She starts using Master Formula before breakfast and in the early afternoon.  Her hypoglycemia vanishes and she has sustained energy all day.  She is delighted.  Then, after a period of time, she suddenly feels so sleepy, and the feeling persists all day long.  She wonders what happened, and why Master Formula doesn't "work" anymore.

Sometimes people who have experiences like these become confused when the wellness they first experience with Master Formula doesn't last.  They don't understand the building and cleansing cycles of the body, both of which are essential.  Cells are like people; they need food and they need to get rid of their waste products.
     When we start using Master Formula, we are introducing nutritionally dense food into the body.  Weakened cells become stronger, as do the glands and organs, which can now do their jobs more effectively.  We call this the building stage , as we are building stronger and healthier cells.  During the building stage we feel good energy.  This is the stage we all love. However, we should be aware of the next stage which is of vital importance to our health, but may not be as much fun to go through, and this is called the cleansing stage.
      When the cells and organs of the body get strong enough, they will go on a major internal "housecleaning."  Many of the accumulated metabolic wastes, plus environmental chemicals and metals may be eliminated.  The major eliminative channels used are the bowel, kidneys, lungs, skin, or even any body opening.  If our cells are dumping wastes faster than our eliminative channels can dispose of them, we experience what may be termed "cleansing effects".  The body's energies are then going into this internal "housecleaning" so the energy level we feel decreases markedly.  It is at this point - just when the body is dumping these health-damaging poisons - that some people will think that Master Formula is making them sick, or that it doesn't work anymore - just when their efforts were really beginning to pay off.
     Some people will experience cleansing effects immediately upon starting Master Formula, as the nutrition is so powerful.  Some will take weeks or months to notice any of these effects.  And many will detoxify slowly, as they build, and will never notice any cleansing effects at all.  We are all different.
     Below are listed a number of the more common cleansing effects people have reported.  Along with each is a brief explanation of how to more effectively sail through this stage if it happens to you.  The explanations given are guidelines that have worked for most people, but be sure to listen to your own body to determine what is best for you.
 

Sudden Sleepiness
     When the cells are busy housecleaning, that is where the body's energies are going, and more rest may be desirable. Further assist the body by drinking plenty of fluids and eating lightly.  Be sure the bowel is moving frequently; use an herbal aid if necessary.  When the cells get rid of much accumulated waste the sleepiness goes away and the energy level returns.  Afterwards the individual may be able to take an increased amount of Master Formula for faster building.

Sudden Tiredness
     After using Master Formula a period of time for hypoglycemia or lack of energy, and having excellent results, an individual may suddenly feel tired again.  Follow the same procedure as for sudden sleepiness above, then increase the intake of Master Formula.

Diarrhea
     This is one of the most common cleansing effects people report.  The body is liquifying the wastes for rapid elimination.  The wastes coming out are very caustic and can cause soreness and irritate hemorrhoids.  To slow down the elimination of these caustic wastes, decrease the amount of Master Formula used until the diarrhea goes away, then gradually increase it again.  If the individual feels fine in other ways, except for the diarrhea, psyllium hulls or seeds can be used once or twice a day in whatever quantity is desired to absorb the liquid toxins which are irritating the hemorrhoids.  In that case the cleansing of toxins can continue uninterrupted.

Constipation
     Many toxins are being dumped into the bowel and the bowel is too lazy or sluggish to eliminate them properly.  It is very important to use an herbal aid (i.e. Herbal Delite) to improve bowel function.  Decrease the intake of Master Formula until this is possible.

Gas, Bloating
     As the Master Formula cleanses the gastro-intestinal tract, temporary gas or bloating may be experienced as these fermented wastes are being cleared out.  Temporarily decrease the quantity of Master Formula taken then gradually increase the amounts again as the condition subsides.

"Smelly" Bowel Movements
     This often occurs as the many poisonous wastes are being cleared from the body via the bowel.  Later, the bowel movements will likely have little odour, indicating that much toxic waste has been cleaned from the bowel, and that little stagnation, fermentation, and putrification are now taking place.

Dizziness, Nausea, Vomiting, Headaches, Nervousness
     Some peoples systems are very toxic or depleted, or sensitive to change.  These people can only tolerate a tiny bit of Master Formula to start with. Increase quantity taken slowly, only as the body is able to comfortably accept it.  Be sure the bowel is working well--use an herbal aid if warranted.

Rashes, Skin Conditions
     The skin is the largest eliminative organ.  As the poisons are eliminated, a few people have reported a minor skin condition develops.  Temporarily decrease the amount of Master Formula used, to allow for more gradual elimination of poisons.  Also, use an herbal aid for the bowel, if warranted, so more poisons will be eliminated through the bowel, requiring less to be eliminated via the skin.  As the skin clears, it will likely be more beautiful than ever.

Cold-like symptoms
     Sometimes a person feels just wonderful on Master Formula, then I call her about 2 weeks later, and she says she has a bad cold.  Her nose is running and her sinuses are clearing.  Through our sinuses and respiratory tract we eliminate much mucous waste.  To sail through this more quickly, drink plenty of fluids and eat lightly.  Some people have used extra herbal aids.  Some people report getting rid of long-standing sinus and lung congestion and wheezy respiratory problems from using Master Formula, as this mucous is eliminated.

     It is difficult to predict who will have a cleansing effect.  I talked to a man who had used many different nutritional supplements for many years, so he was sure he wouldn't have any cleansing effects.  But the whole food nutrition in Master Formula seems to be so much more bioavailable than supplements, and sure enough to his surprise he experienced some cleansing effects.  I myself have used supplements for years and noticed no cleansing effects.  But since being on Master Formula, I have gone through two bouts of cleansing.  On me they showed up as periods of excessive sleepiness.  But I just kept right on taking Master Formula, and after about a week my energy all came back again.  Had I not understood the building and cleansing cycles of the body, I might have thought that Master Formula was "not working" for me anymore, and I might have stopped taking it just when it was really doing it's job.  After the cleansing part of the cycle, the body goes on to build again, but on a higher level of health than before, and so the cycle goes on and on as our health improves.
      I feel it is paramount that all who wish to avoid or reverse health problems should understand these body cycles.  We must learn to listen to our bodies and give them the nutrition they need to build higher levels of health, rather than rushing off to use chemicals to deaden the symptoms while the disease rages on.  Your body is your responsibility; you have to live in it.
     In over 20 years of experience of working with herbs and natural remedies, I have not found a product that will help more people with more problems, faster, and more cheaply than Master Formula.  And the irony is, it is not a cure for anything, but only a food!
