Seeing lots of water melons in the supermarket and got this in my email from a Yoga teacher . Doing such cleanses needs diet changes before and after. You should talk with your doctor if you plan anything like this. I've done juice fast in the past and you don't want to over exert yourself.

My wife and I are planning such a cleanse in about a week so we can prep properly.

A teacher recommended wearing a heart monitor when tensing
Before, REMOVE heavy foods from your diet, especially cutting back on dairy, meat, fast food, or anything that makes you feel weighed down or is slow to digest.CUT BACK on caffeinated & sweetened drinks. Supplement with tea & juices for the duration of the pre-cleanse. PULL OUT any artificial, packaged & high sugar foods & snacks from your daily fare. Consume mostly fruits & vegetables, cooked or raw, & drink plenty of water
Introducing the Fruit of Living Melon Cleanse: an end of summer melon mono-diet to deliver deep clarity, mega hydration & ultra radiance.

DAY 1
Consume only ripe cantaloupe for the day.

DAY 2
Consume only ripe watermelon for the day.

DAY 3
Papaya until noon
Water with lemon & honey until 2:00pm
Water without additions until 3:30pm
Water with lemon & honey until 5:00pm
Papaya until bed

DAY 4
Consume only ripe watermelon for the day.

DAY 5
Consume only ripe cantaloupe for the day.

AFTER,
BE GRADUAL Start by introducing other fruits. After a day, add yogurt and/or vegetables. After two to three days, you may incorporate grains & nuts. STAY SENSITIVE Test new foods with subtle awareness. How does it energetically feel? How does your body respond? Listen for the clear messages. EMBRACE THE SHIFTY our entire psyche has just adjusted. Revel in the wealth of it.SLOWLYinclude oils, fats and supplements. After three to five days you should be able to eat more liberally while staying in tune with your energy bodies & bio-individual needs.
sprinkle salt on your melons to increase electrolytes in the body & cellular communication, & pepper to reduce bloating & gas.eat as much as you need & as often as you require. It will keep your brain working & your neurochemistry happy. stretch, breath, practice light exercise & go for walks. practice self-kindness & be aware when you need rest, extra down time, or just some self affirmation.

WARNING: I did this diet and found I had a bad reaction to the Papaya. Next day woke up with a very dry sore mouth, a blister on the side of my tongue and my tongue had a thick white coat, and damage to my esophagus.

I lost 8 lbs in 4 days which left me very weak and light headed, they said the fast would be non-harmful. I won't be following ideas like this anymore and know not to eat much papaya or pineapple.

I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience, Henry. I've never been a believer in cleansing processes. I think the body takes care of itself perfectly so long as we use proper care and feeding, e.g. good balanced diet in moderate proportions, adequate sleep, and regular exercise. A cleanse assumes one can clean ourselves by removing toxic elements from the body, but there never has been to my knowledge any evidence that cells can be "flushed" or organs can be "cleansed", etc. I say, listen to one's body, use moderation. As a 79 year old this becomes more important to me than ever. Best wishes, Jim

I think when they say cleanse they don't mean a total clean-out but it's more for taking a break from eating routine and practice mindfulness. I did feel good on the diet except the day after eating much papaya. This has taught me a lesson about papaya and pineapple, mono diets aren't something I normally do.

Back in the 70's when I did Yoga then, salt water was used in various ways, you could do a flush by drinking 4 cups of warm water with 2 tablespoons of salt, drink in one go and wait in the bathroom. Yogurt or probiotic is recommended after.
