Hello! I am new to this too. But I am going to do the Master Cleanse (it is also called the lemonaide diet). My karate sensai does it twice a year to detox his system. If you do a search on master cleanse of lemonaide diet you should be able to find it.caambeno <caambeno@...> wrote: Just finished KT's book. I found it to be so full of information. I have been a yoyo dieter for many years and I am hoping that this is my last attempt for success. I am wondering where to get my hcg

injections and/or supplies. I was also wondering where to get some of the cleanses that are mentioned in Phase l. If anyone could give me some info on this I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!caambeno

Cheryl...you are right to not think you should use that culture again.

don't do it, it's not worth the risk.

Hopefully, someone in Australia will pipe up and offer you a SCOBY now that

you have posted.

To test for lead...there are home kits that can be bought at hardware or

paint stores or that can be purchased on-line.

Water kefir is a lacto fermented beverage which some folks are wildly

successful with and others just as unsuccessful. I is considered by many to

be very picky...but I have found that as with Kombucha, the secret is to

brew with a few simple ingredients for the first ferment and limit the

'experiments' to second ferments and in using spare cultures.

Coconut kefir is, I believe water kefir made with coconut milk as an

ingredient. I think some people use milk kefir grains in its preparation.

I make milk kefir and at first found it too yeasty, but after a few rounds

of brewing it straightened up and now consistently make a lovely drinkable

yougurt like beverage for me. Note that before I started making milk kefir,

I ate my yogurt sugar and fruit free, so drinking milk kefir straight for me

was not much of a jump.

If no one offers you a culture in Australia...there are commercial growers

that can be found by googling.

Welcome to the group!! :- )

Hi allI have not received the HCG yet and the pharmacy I am getting the HCG told me it is a BIO Identical HCG. Is that ok? Is there real HCG ? They also said the HCG should be injected into the muscle, but since that could be difficult, that it should be injected into the fatty tissue and this way one has to use a little bit more. I think they said 200iu as appose to 125iu. I read the Pounds and Inches Protocol and did not recall if one should inject in muscle or fat.ThanksSandy

Dr Simeons injected in the muscle. If you use short needles, it is going into the fat most likely. Longer needles go into the muscle. A slightly larger dose if you are injecting subcutaneously might help to get you what you would absorb if you injected into muscle. The vascular system is more plentiful in the muscle and you would more easily absorb it that way. There is some speculation that if injecting into fat that you might not absorb it quickly enough to get it all before it is no longer potent.

Hi Sandy,

My doctor perscribed 125 iu of bio-identical HCG and I lost with no problem. I

injected into my stomach fat. I lost 36 pounds in 43 days.

You should be fine if you just follow the protocol. Good luck!
