Woohoo!  I'm on day 8 of the cleanse.  Feeling pretty good.  The end of the first day I had to go to bed early with a migrane -only the third I've ever had in my life.  Went to bed with a headache the second day as well.  On the third day I felt the headache coming on around 2pm and just started to cry -I was pretty sure I wouldn't make it if this ( Read more... )
