    Smiley Has Anyone done a Detox/Fast?

    On the way back to Australia next month, my husband and i are stopping in Thailand for a 7 day detox program, partly to quit smoking. This involves ingesting nothing but physillium shakes, vegetable broth and vitamins for the week along with receiving 2 coffee enemas (urgh) a day.
    I was wondering if any of you have done anything like this and have any stories or advice to share. I've heard it can be a painful experience, the whole thing not just the enemas !

    You'll probably get nauseous and headaches. Try eating a diet consisting more of veggies, grains and fruit and get colonics before you leave. If you've heard of castor oil packs (google Edgar Cayce) you may want to try it too.

    Coffee enemas? That sounds really dangerous, Misha. A guy died not too long ago from a tequila enema. When it isn't run through your digestive system, the drug (alcohol or caffeine) is much more potent. Administered this way, it goes straight to your blood all at once. I would really think long and hard before doing this.

    If you do go through with it, try to make it decaf and room-temp.

    Coffee enemas have been administered for hundreds of years. They are actually used to clean the liver....the coffee beans and water has to ORGANIC and PURE though this is a MUST!

    MishaBliss I have detoxed in the past with great success. I have always wanted to go to Thailand for their detox camps. We used to have a reality TV show back in the UK (titled celebrity detox camp) where 10 celebrities would spend a week at a Thai detox camp and undergo litres of coffee enemas day along with drinking broths and taking herbal supplements. I loved the show and the results (not necessarily weight loss) were amazing.

    For more info on enemas and cleansing you just have to check out curezone.com this site is a WEALTH of information.

    Good luck hun and let us know how it goes

    Seraya.

    I haven't done that before but I have done a few water fasts before.

    As well as a juice fast and I do have to say, they really made me feel better, well after the hunger pains went away, and all.....

    I'll probably do one again soon, to clean me up for the New Year, lol. But it isn't gunna happen until after the 26th at the earliest!!!!

    I believe this is the one they were at http://www.thesanctuarythailand.com/. The website says that it's $360.00 for the 7 day detox. Dang i didn't realise that it was so cheap i'm gonna have to look into this more seriously.

    Misha which camp r u going to?

    Seraya.

    I just read of a 3-day detox that you can do on your own.

    The first day you drink a protein shake every 2 hours from 8a - 6p and then have a shake with 6 cups of a salad with 1 cup of some kind of lean protein with it.

    The secon day you have 2-3 servings of fruit during the same time frame then have the same kind of dinner

    You repeat day 2 on day three.

    After that they say that if you check the scale, you will have lost 9 pounds!

    And if anyone doesn't believe me, it's in the 'First' magazine for this month

    Is it safe to go over there just for the detox? Going to counttries waaaaaaaaaaaay over there seems scary.

    I think its great to detox every once in a while. I use detox tea and dieters tea when I do. Ill do it for only 2 days though and cant stay longer. I like whole food. hehe

    I'm from Australia and Thailand is kinda on my way home, besides i've been there before and its so not scary, its beautiful.
    Seraya, i just got confirmation from spa samui, which is on Ko Samui an island in the gulf of Thailand. Its really cheap compared to others that i've researched and it has great reviews. I'll let you know how it goes!

    I'm currently at the spa in Samui enduring this cleansing program. The fasting and colonics aren't so bad but the spa itself is a scam. Hidden costs, misleading information and none of the staff seem to care and like to use the language barrier to ignore complaints.
    If anyone is interested in such a program avoid SpaSamui. There are a few other spas on the island that i'll be checking out next time.

    Thanks for the update - I keep hearing about the Thai cleanse thing, ( lol can't think of the right way to say that right now!) and had been thinking about trying it. I think I'll just do something at home for now...

    Thanks Guys xxx No Seraya posted that link, i wish i'd gone to that spa instead.
    Its day 3 of the fast and i feel like hell My entire body aches and i've got flu like symptoms. I can't get comfortable in any position that i lie in. All i want to do is cry. Apparently this isn't uncommon..... but urghh.
    Also i stopped smoking, which i am happy about though.

    Next time do a fruit and juice fast. It's easier on your body. You'll be in a cheerier mood (once the hunger dies down). You won't need an enema because the apples are like DRAINO.

    Well i broke the fast. I feel like such a lame ass.
    I got a fever and then i panicked. No one at the spa could or would give me any advice other than to say that it was probably that i was detoxifiying too fast. It turns out they were right. I had some soup before bed and i woke up feeling so much better. I did lose 4kgs over the 3 days though, so i'm definetely a fan of the cleansing method. I've just decided that in the future i'll do this at home. There is no point in paying for this 'service'. It would be more comfortable at home and i'd avoid having to deal with all of the self-important, psuedo new age, misguided ignorami that these places seem to always attract.
