How long should I cleanse?

Depends on your symptoms. Create a symptoms list, being as clear and simple as possible. Update it every week, keeping the old lists and starting a new one, so you can see improvement. List the actual symptom rather than the disease ro syndrome. For instance, instead of saying “IBS” say “bouts of diarrhea followed by bouts of constipation.” Diarrhea is curable, as is constipation. A syndrome is not curable. It’s just a label.

If you’re under 25 and have never cleansed before, figure on doing 1-3 months of cleansing. Commit to at least a month and then re-commit if your symptoms suggest it.

If you’re over 25 but younger than 40 and have never cleansed before, commit to 3-6 months. The rest of us should commit to 6 months to a year. It took a lot of time for us to get out of balance, it will take time to get back into balance and vitality.

Once you start cleansing and educating yourself, after the first major cleanse you only need to cleanse twice a year for a week or two, or when symptoms arise, or whenever your tongue is coated.
