Great question Trinity.  I give the instructions for Mag07 earlier in the detox methods chapter (5) where you can take the Mag07 for 7-10 days at bedtime.  There are several different type of colon cleansers I recommend so there are some people who don't do Mag07, they do the 30 day colon cleansers.  So, it's the colon cleanser that is mandatory, the duration depends on which option they chose.  In phase 2, the detoxification methods you chose in phase 1 can be continued as needed… some are done weekly, some can be done monthly, some can be done annually. I'm not sure what you mean by same bowel movements a day.. in my book, I explain what healthy bowel movements look like… normal for most people is once a day… optimal is 1-3 times per day.
