    Extra Diet Support for craving help

    Has anyone else thought of adding Metagenics Ultraclear or Ultraclear Plus to the program to help clear out the system more quickly to get rid of the toxin and get rid of the cravings? I have some UltraClear left and took some today because I'm FINALLY on day 3 with nothing after 10 days with topa and supps and 3 days with cds but it's still been rough, so I thought the ultra clear could help. Went back to the metagenics sight and found the info for ultra clear plus which I haven't tried but thought I'd post it here in case any one is interested...

    UltraClear PLUS?
    Metabolic Detoxification for Imbalanced Detoxifiers


    UltraClear PLUS, provided as a powdered beverage mix, is a medical food for impaired or compromised detoxification capacity, which may be associated with health conditions such as:

    ? Alcohol/chemical dependency
    ? Atopic disorders
    ? Chemical sensitivity
    ? Chronic fatigue syndrome ? Fibromyalgia
    ? Food allergy
    ? Generalized arthralgias
    ? Migraine headaches

    Provides the same great macro- and micronutrient base formula and benefits as UltraClear, but with added support for those who are "imbalanced detoxifiers"?people with low Phase II activities.
    Imbalanced detoxification may be due to genetic predisposition, a history of chronic nutrient insufficiency, and/or toxin overload, which can result in a buildup of reactive oxygen intermediates and a subsequent increase in symptoms and/or tissue damage.
    Features added glycine, taurine, sodium sulfate, and catechins from decaffeinated green tea to better support Phase II activities.
    Safe for long term use in individuals with chronic exposure to toxins.
    Available in delicious Original and Natural Berry flavors.
    Comes with a Quick-Start Guide or a more comprehensive Patient Guide for complete program guidelines.

    the carb/fat/protein looks good. It may be worth trying the UltraClear Plus. While you're using up the last of your UltraClear, you may want to read Elson Haas's books on detoxing. He has some good recipes and steps to follow for detoxing as seasons change or for specific problems ranging from alcohol, refined sugar, smoking, etc.

    Cheers,

      RE: extra support

      Thanks much Osha; It's on the 4th day now, which is for me, always the "gee, I feel way too good", but last night was a first. Stopped at my local for dinner and they put my usual vodka soda on the bar with a smile before I order so I took it and sat down and looked at it for a few, than I handed it back and asked for a diet coke and a menu, said I was on pain killers and didn't want to mix, (so what's a teeny lie amongst friends?), had some wings, some diet cokes, chatted for a bit and left a $5 tip for a $3 tab...geez, I can afford to have a manicure on a budget like that...:rollin

        Re: RE: extra support

        Hoorah for you! Who cares about the teeny lie.

        I'm not there yet... but I did download the book and have read several chapters. I'm mentally recalibrating. I only had 2 beers last night and felt great this morning. The book should keep me busy tonight, i hope!

        Here's the "spring Master Cleanser" recipe from Elson Haas which I have enjoyed before and need to start back on. He says you can do a fast by drinking 8-12 glasses throughout the day plus water, chamomile and peppermint tea and "laxative herb tea". Make the cleanser fresh each time or place in glass not plastic container.

        2 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice
        1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
        1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper
        8 ounces spring water

        It's really nice. I did not fast but just drank as a cleanser a few times/day in place of water. I may try the fast this Sunday.

        Enjoy and keep pluggin!
