Hello JJ, I recently purchase your book..which I love by the way. A couple of my co-workers and I will be starting the Detoxification phase March 1st. I have a couple of questions…1). Is there a limit to the amount of Coconut water that one should drink in a day, or can you drink as much as you choose (I tried it out yesterday to see how it tasted, and found that it made me thristy)?  2). The Colon-Cleansing Method which you recommend is it done through-out the detoxifcation and eating phase. For example:  If I chose to purchase the Mag07 supplements, do I take 3-5 of them per night for (21 detox 21 eating phase, or just for 7-10 days during the dexto phase??? Also, do you recommend both the supplements along with the green drink or can one choose to do one over the other??

Thank you in advance for your response, and keep up the good work!!!!

Hey Precious!  Great questions to help you get ready for March 1st!  You can drink as much coconut water as you want, marathon runners use it to hydrate the body as it is high in electrolytes and potassium…it's known as the "natural" gatorade because it has no added sugars…only natural sugar.  For the DETOX phase of the DEM System, you have to select a colon cleanser.  Some do the Mag07, which is 3-5 at bedtime for 7-10 days.  However some choose the other recommended colon cleansers which are 30 days long.  In addition to the colon cleanser, the green drink and fiber (taken together each morning) are also mandatory as well.  All of these things work together to detox and cleanse the body, break the addictions to unhealhty foods and to jumpstart weight loss.  I hope that answers your question, if not, hit me back, I'm around…

Hey JJ,  The Maf07 what are the side effects? #2 For people with grapefruit allergies will it be a good idea for them to use this product? What about the fiber tablets? Also, What is your opinion for people who have kidney transplants? Have you ever heard of any of them taking colonics? Thanks

I am so excited to start the DEM. JJ I love you on the Steve Harvey show. Hope he will convince you to put a before and after picture up on your website. Even if you don't I have a close friend that has already lost 8 pound and this is day 5 for her. I am going to Whole Foods this weekend to get prepared. My question is I already have 3 colonics scheduled for each week of the detox phase. I have done colonics in the past and I have had great success. But what other detox methods should I be doing? you list about ten in your book. I really can't stomach pills. But is their a tea that i can drink along with the green drink? also I have a juicer is it okay for me to make my own green drink of should I stick with the power substance?

Hi JJ. I too am planning to begin phase 1 on March 1st. I have a colonic scheduled for March 2nd. I'm a first timer. Should I schedule more than one during the initial 3 week period or just try other methods? Also with the whole grain breads, is pumpernickel bread a good choice?

I'm having difficulty finding the body brush. Any suggestions? Also, I experienced my first colonic yesterday. Not bad at all and it wasn't painful. It was interesting to watch…yes I saw everything. I'm going back next Friday.

Hi J. J.,

I haven't officially started the detox phase, but I have started getting into the habit of changing what I eat, and I already see results.  I have already taken three colonics, and my question is: Do I need to take additional ones along with the other recommended colon cleansers when I start the detox phase?  It's not a problem, but was wondering if I need to.  I should be starting next week, but I have scheduled addtional colonics just in case I need to continue to take them.

I've also started to visit the sauna at my gym twice a week (Don't even go to workout), and OMG, I've been getting so many compliments on my skin. 

I am almost done getting my supplies - I went crazy this weekend shopping for organic fruits and veggies, and there is quite a difference in the taste as opposed to the regular fruits and veggies.  I'm loving it. 

I also purchased some of the Bob's Red Mill products that you recommended.  Hope I like them!!!

Thanks again, for your help and attention through all of this.

Oooooh, I'm on the right track, Ms J. J…  I love all of those things on my salads, and I got them.  Being from the south, I love all fruits and veggies because we grew them all (Ate them when we had nothing else to eat), but just got away from eating them righteously.  I know better. 

You know, I asked the technician about the probiotics, but she hasn't offered them to me at any of the sessions.  I will get them when I get the rest of my supplies. 

Well you certainly have beautiful skin now, and thank you for sharing this wealth of info.  I can't thank you enough.
