Are there any pre-diet preparations i need make before i begin this diet/detox?
How exactly am i to make the lemonade/pepper drink?
How long do you think i should continue the detox? (Given the health risks involved)
Ive heard of some sort of Laxative herbal tea that im supposed to drink (or salt mixed with water) but what exactly is this herbal drink and the name for it when purchasing in the shops?
And by cayenne pepper does it mean the stuff you get in the little herb pots or freshly ground stuff that you have made?

BTW please dont preach the health effects and dangers of this detox/diet as im perfectly aware and am willing to accept the possible effects.

Thanks very much for any help

You can see my other questions for details on the whole issue I’ve been having with my kitten. Bottom line he went to the vet already for a week and came back worse, so don’t tell me to "go to the vet". I’ve been there, done that and it didn’t work. The kitten has chronic diarrhea, stool samples were clean, no infection, I took him off the antibiotics and laxative(figure that one out why did a vet give a kitten with diarrhea laxative?). When I got him back from the vet he was lethargic, disoriented, and basically ill. Before that he just had diarrhea, now I’m nursing him back to health. I’ve found that every time after he eats he bloats, so I’ve started feeding him less, more often. I am keeping him on the a/d diet from the vet but I’ve also put him back on the bottle with diluted KMR. So far so good.. he is bloating less and is showing some improvement. My question is this.. I looked into herbal remedies and I’ve started giving him about 2cc of herbal tea per feeding. Straight Chamomile, Catnip and Peppermint. All are good for stomach ailments as well as colic and bloat. So far it seems to be helping.. but I’d like any advice about this I can get. Since the vet meds didn’t help and in fact made him worse, this is my only other option. There is no infection or disease the vet could find. So any herbs that you can recommend to treat the symptoms would be great along with dosage, effects and risks. I’m doing all I can to help this kitten and so far he HAS improved. I will not take him back to that vet as I was not satisfied with the results. So I need ideas on alternative treatments.. anything will be considered. Please share all you know! His symptoms are.. Bloating after feeding, diarrhea, and failure to thrive. He is 6 weeks old and his siblings are way ahead of him weight, development everything. He was 1lb now he is only .6lbs after being with the vet. The vet dewormed him, vaccinated him, x-rayed him and tested stool samples.. all were clean they say.
I am feeding him the wet a/d diet from the vet, and KMR diluted and mixed with 1cc of Yogurt, and 2cc of the herbal tea. He is better than when I got him back 2 days ago.. much better.
Ken.. acidophilus is in the yogurt, I’ve researched the herbs and all are safe for use in pets. I also researched the dosage. I also mentioned his age is 6 weeks. I’m not looking for someone to tell me not to do what seems to be working for him, I’m looking for more information on herbal remedies safe for use in cats and relevant or useful as treatment for his ailment.
Well they mentioned the possibility of a shunt, but I can’t do anything about that until I get him in to the other vet. I will request an ultrasound, they wanted to take blood but he’s too small for that. Either way if he has a shunt he has to get bigger before he can have surgery to repair it, if they can’t repair it then I’m not certain there is any alternative way to treat it.

Hi everyone!

My mom is 49 years old and she’s been taking all these types of teas for about a year now. My mom has a lot of digstive problems, and she has gone to many herbalist who give her teas for this. Many of them have given her these "slimming, diet teas" that contain laxative ingredients. My mom has no intention of losing weight, but she wants to drink the stuff so she can actually go to the bathroom. She can go on for 3-4 days without using the bathroom, which yes, I am aware- it’s bad!

We have tried foods, other medications (my mom also suffers from a kidney complication) so she can’t take many of them, especially over the counter things. I don’t know what to do, and it srot of scares me that she comes home with a different tea every month. I mean, these things are supposed to "slim" you down and get you on a diet, but I fear my mom will get sick from trying all these teas that may affect her health. Although most of the teas say "natural", "organic" "herbal" I still worry. Can anyone tell me if there’s any side effects to these teas?

Here’s some she’s recently been taking: (she sometimes mixes them after being constipated for about 3 days):

Slic Chic, you obviously did not read the question, why bother reading it if you’re not giving me an informative answer. Same goes for the third answer =/

I’m on day four of the master cleanse (lemonade diet) and i’ve only had one BM. Ive looked for organic teas that read laxative on the labels and i found nothing. but i stumbled across detox tea…and figured it would work the same…since the cleanse IS a detox. However, im supposed to have several BM to cleanse my system and i’ve only had one. I’m afraid i’ve wasted all this time already…does being only 18 have something to do it? maybe i just dont have as many toxins in my body? I dont know, but im nervous. Will someone who knows tell me if i’m okay on the detox tea?

I am about to try the master cleanse diet but I am not looking forward to the laxative, herbal tea or sea salt drink at night. Is it absolutely necessary?
If so what what brand of tea did you use?

NOT diet teas though, nothing that is a laxative, no thanks. Just some natural HERBAL teas that are good for hunger control, etc.

I drink a chinese herbal slim tea that contains senna leaf as a laxative and i was wondering if it still lets my body take in the nutrients of the foods i ate?? or does it just let everything pass through??

I am starting the Master Cleanse detox diet and have decided against the salt water flush you are supposed to take in the mornings. I am going to drink the laxative herbal tea at night, but should i also drink it in the mornings to make up for not drinking the salt water mixture?

So, I just bought some "herbal slimming tea" at Drug Mart the other day. I was just looking at the ingredients, and one is Senna…a laxative. So, does that mean that all the tea does is make you crap out everything you eat quicker so there isn’t full absorption in the intestines? I like the taste of the Cranrasberry one, but all I’ve done for 2 days is crap my brains out. I finally realized it was the tea. Is this a ligitimate way to lose weight?
All the ingredients:
Senna leaves
Malve leaves
Licorice root
Panax ginseng root
Natural flavor
