Just to make it clear, I did a combo of the lemon/maple syrup cleanse and then a juice fast. It was in the 3 week range total. The first few days your body needs to adjust and then you start feeling the benefits.

If you are going to attempt a fast 7 days is probably a good trial. Absolutely check with your doc to get clearance first and double check all your meds possible side effects online first.

You could also try a raw diet/juice combo, working out and using a sauna, to try and achieve some of the same results.

--I wouldn't be surprised if I actually caused an ulcer. I believe the main med issue was Cymbalta. It was helping and when I tried retaking it several months later, I immediately had severe stomach pain again.
