Well I have lost 4 lbs over the last week on this stuff. I am still on phen but my weight loss had stalled. I feel so empty! It is great, and my stomach does look flatter. Dove- I take my pills in the morning, take my fiber after 15 min, then eat breakfast, then take my phen 1 hour later and it is working just fine. Definitely try steeping the tea more, but dont give up, it really works. Make sure you are drinking enough water, but dont drink too much, you may be flushing out your fiber. Let us know how its going!

IMHO it just doesn't seem right to let the nasty stuff stay there and it seems perfectly sensible to get rid of it ... weight loss or not.

Okay thanks guys
) Actually today was better...not this morning, but around 11am things started moving along and was much better - might have just needed that "break through." Also, I waited about 2.5 hours and then took my phen and it was better. I also drank 4 glasses of water after the fiber (well over the next hour) and I think that helped too. I'm feeling better about the whole thing now ) I'm gonna steep my tea for 5 min tonight - I did it for 3 last night and no cramping, even mild. We'll see if that works!!!

I'm up to steeping my tea for 6 min, but I get no cramping! However I am going more frequently, and there is more of "it."
) I'm feeling ok, my stomach is def. flatter but I dunno if that's from the weight loss from the phen or the dr natura. Not sure I care at this moment! )

I think if you are going more frequently without the cramping thats great why get the cramps if you dont need to. they do say some cramping is good. but not sure if I want them...and as far as the weight who cares as long as the scales going down im sure its all diet,Phen & Dr.Natura..I should be getting mine today yeahhh cant wait..I will keep a record of everything and let you all know how its GOING...lol..Not sure if i will be able to tell if my stomach will go down or not because that is where I carry most of my weight..

You TOTALLY will! That's where I carry all my weight, and its seriously noticable that its going down. Okay it could still be the phen, but seriously, people have even told me that my stomach looked flatter. Its my biggest "problem area."

Yay, Dr. N is IN! I started mine today, and I'm keeping a log, too. I'm not going to log my food and water...must the Dr. N stuff, what times, along with Phen info, and comments on movement.
I like the tea...just had my first cup. I cut back my water intake today. Have been drinking 1-2 gallons a day, but I think that is too much for Dr. N to work effectively. So I cut back to about 100 ounces. |

Ok I started mine Yesterday I got it by UPS early enough. YUKKK the fiber is Gross it was sooo bad I had to just chug it or it wasnt going down then after I chugged it I was hoping it wouldnt come back up...lol..It doesnt smell bad just taste like S**t...At 9:30 steeped my tea for 4 mins (ive been so backed up I wanted a little more kickstart)wasnt sure if I should steep for that long. I would say it took me about 10 mins to drink it (again I say Gross) 10:00pm I was out for the count--WOW not kidding that put me out..my husband told me this morning I was awake when he went to the bathroom he took a pee walked back into the room and I was out he thought I was faking till he tried to talk to me..Well around 1:00 in the morning I knew I had to pee it took me about a 1/2 hour to lift myself from a fog finally got up went to the bathroom back to bed --out again--about 6:00am felt a little cramp not much, more like a rummble in my lower section woke up easy went to the bathroom and had a nice easy movement after I went (poop) I felt awake. so I took my capsuals then did my leftover dishes then took my fiber(YUK) Guess what...Went poop again **Nice** I feel so much better I dont care how bad it taste im sticking with it.. Day 2 and it is already worth the $145.00 I paid for it...Have a Beautiful Day my Friends...I will..

Yay!! I'm so glad we're all doing this - it's encouraging for me since I'm not having exactly the experience I thought I would. I'm not unhappy and I actually enjoy my "routine" with Dr. Natura - an orange and a couple slices of frozen fruit or berries in my magic bullet, add a scoop of fiber, blend, drink it down
) YUM! Sometimes I'll have a couple eggs too...it comes out to 300 calories total, I'm full and it tides me over til I take the phen 2 hours later. The "rhythm" of it has been really helpful for me.

Dovelette have you lost any weight since the Dr. Natura? This converstaion is great. You guys are motivating. I am going to order mine today. I think I am going to do the 2 day delivery as I am excited. I need to flatten my stomach although my problem area is the hips and thighs.

Hi Everyone - I have been on the program for about 5 days and I have felt increasingly better since day 3, the first couple of days were rough for me with headaches and bloating. I have alot of stress and fatigue and have noticed a considerable difference in that and my mental sharpness, as well as having been very "productive" in the bathroom since day 1. I tried the program about 8 months ago, but it made me really nauseated and I didn't stick to it.
So far, I have only had one short episode of nausea this time. I will try to keep you guys updated on my experience. Asa far as the fiber and what to mix it with - I mix mine with a packet of the Walmart version of Crystal Light Sunrise and it is tolerable...

I've been on it 10 days, but I just recently started Phen as well, so I don't know how much of my weight loss is due to the Phen and how much to the Dr Natura.

I'm not sure why I felt nauseated the first time I tried it, but it was so bad it made me stop. This time, I have just been nauseated once - last night. It wasn't to the point of vomitting, but it kept me awake for about an hour.
Who knows, it may be the "worms" fighting for their life!

Hi everyone, I am so excited that everyone is doing this. I am doing great, I am now down to 148 after being stuck at 154 before I started the Dr. N. I have a hard time remembering to take the pills but other than that everything is going good. My stomach is definitely flatter, really flatter. Everyone keeps telling me how I look I am losing weight! Yeah!
Lipstick- I have found that if I put some warm water in a glass and mix in the fiber so it mixes smoothly, then I add some grape juice and just drink it down. Its not terrible. For the tea, I just add honey and its not that bad, actually pretty good. I hope everyone is doing good! |

I keep all of my Dr. N stuff out on the counter, so I don't forget any of it. And I'm keeping a log on computer, log everything at night.
Today was day 2 on Dr. N...good production in the toilet if you know what I mean. Nothing hideous or strange. Had 2 BM, which is unusual for me. Slight cramping. The fiber doesn't bother me too much, been drinking w/ apple juice and a couple cubes of ice and whizzing in the blender. I like the tea straight. I've been steeping it for 4 minutes both last night and tonight. I am starting to feel clean, although I can't tell if it has contributed to any weight loss, though. I feel good, though. |

Stick with it L&D!! I think it is going to be worth it.
GO GO GO GO GO, Dovelette! You are so close to goal! I'm on day 2 of Dr. N. Very productive, can't believe I'm getting results already. Nothing strange and unusual from the dark side, but 2 movements in one day, which is unusual for me when I am not on phen, and unheard of since I've been taking phen. Lots of volume, too. To help me remember to take everything, I leave it out on my kitchen counter. And I'm keeping a log of times of when I take what, and when I go to the potty. The fiber, I started w/ 3/4 scoop, instead of 1/2, because I've been on that knock off brand cleanse for the last two weeks and feel my body can handle it. I've been whizzing it in the blender w/ about 8 oz. of apple juice and some ice cubes. Its not too bad. The tea, I've been steeping for 4 mins. I like it straight, actually, and I love the smell of it. I had slight cramping this morning. I feel good, energy level is high...so far, I'm glad I made the investment. I only ordered 1 months worth, so I'll probably be ordering more in a week or two for next month. |

Lipstick... I think I read some where that if you get loose stool you should try not to steep the tea too long and do not drink too much water. I still have not ordered mine. I get home late and don't turm the computer on. I wish the site was not blocked at work. I am going to make it my duty to get on tonight.

I dont think its the steep time because im not cramping they are really small more like my stomach is moving (just a few I think that wakes me up). I do agree it is the amount of water ive been drinking because ive been trying to drink 1 gal a day because of the phen and the diet Water,Water,Water--now I think I have to try not to drink more then a 1/2 gal. Now that im use to drinking that much it might be hard to cut down..but I will try..

I hope the UPS guy brings my order today! I'm so tired of being backed up on phen...stupid little skinny poops...I was doing a different cleanse a month ago which relieved the constipation but didn't clean house to the extent Dr. N users claim. Then I went off phen for a week and the problem went away. Now I'm doing this! I ordered 3 months' worth- one for me, one for hubby, and one for "we'll see."
My weight loss was 8 pounds for Feb. I'm hoping for 10 in March...maybe with Dr N it could be 15! Putting me in Onederland, wow....

YEAH!!! I knew you guys would like this stuff. I did Dr. Natura 6 months ago and was soooo thrilled after my 30 days. I am thinking about doing it again because I felt so clean afterwards. I should have done 60 days but I got lazy!
I feel like I am having cravings again and not losing weight like I should be so I am going to clean it out again! I am so excited for everyone and this is really motivating! |

Ok my boyfriend and I read the entire website. I have a few questions ok not really questions fears...
What if I pass something that looks like the stuff in the pictures? What if a 26 inch thing comes out only half way and gets stuck? (really I mean come on you would call the doctor to have him remove it the rest of the way would you? ) What if passing something that big will hurt half way though? We really want to try this and I would love to get this for my dad ( his father died of colon cancer) It couldn't hurt for him to try this. Please someone try to answer some of these questions and if the answers don't scare me I will order 3 months for all of us. Thanks so much |

I think the web site has a hotline for questions...and/or I've heard that they are good about emailing back with answers if you send them questions.
I kinda wonder about the halfway thing too...

OK, you guys inpired me and I just ordered the 3 month supply as the last month was 50% 0ff. I also got the other detox for the liver and bladder. I'm gonna do them both. Won't get it until Wednesday. One question, I work long hours, and have to use a public restroom. Do you think this will be a problem? like going to often, or really bad odor?
thanks |

savannaha--We have well water been drinking it forever its funny I cant stand city water we also live on a lake and the well is only about 25feet from the lakeshore. after I read the Dr.Natura web site it got me thinking (you could imagine im sure)so I really am nervous about the whole parisite thing. So the thought about the long thing only coming out halfway was in my head also because reading 1 of the post on there website that one guy said he had to finish pulling it out--ohh myy- I think I would freak it sure wouldnt be a pretty sight pants down,worm hanging out of the backside,running around screaming...SORRY.. but its a thought..lol...
LNC---I wouldnt worry about having to rush to the bathroom all the time. so far for me it hasnt been like that. Im not sure about the odor but I will say after being on it for 4 days I did noticed a little stronger odor this morning..but nothing people would run out of the restroom screaming --dont go in there--just thought of Jim Carrey.. Have a Great Day my Beautiful Friends... |

Do you think that the Dr. N would be more effective off of the phen? I noticed that some have decreased H20 intake, how would you do that if you workout also? (the amt needed to replenish w/ workout and phen?)
I almost got it last night, but am a bit nervous putting all of it together... Sounds like many are doing great, and I think that IS GREAT! I am just wondering on some opinions here...

I stopped taking my phen a few days ago it doesnt really have a affect on me lately It seems like the Phen is getting flushed out of my system.
Speaking of flushed this might be a good time for an update...im up to 4 of the paranil capsulas & 1 full scoop of the fiber in the morning. I have to split the fiber into (2) 1/2 scoops otherwise if I just put 1 whole scoop in it gets to thick fast and I cant swallow it--dont want to I should say--I actually look forward to the Tea now.I did get use to that I do add Honey maybe thats why I like it now..I just hate to add the extra calories right before bed. Love the way it helps me sleep..I steep my Tea for 4 to 5 mins and that seems to work perfect for me very little cramping still just 1 or 2 to wake me up. I was having both a liquidy movement (1st one in the morning)and then it would get firmer (2nd and 3rd one)I was useing to much water in my Tea I was useing a whole coffee cup instead of JUST 1 CUP of water. now im doing 1 cup and it has firmed up. I never wake up after 6:15am I seem to be on a schedual--which is cool--I go poop 2 or 3 times a day but only in the mornings always between 6:30am & 8:00am never after that and I never have to RUN to the bathroom. Where is everyone??? are you all in hiding??? or did you just ditch me.I would like to know how everyone else is doing...Miss Ya all... |

My supply finally showed up yesterday - I could hardly wait to start this morning! No issues with the fiber drink - I'm not sure what people are complaining about. Of course, when you are motivated nothing stands in your way. Like some of the side effects from phen - who cares? I'd eat cow manure if it was guaranteed me some weight loss miracle.
I'm equally eager to drink the tea and get down to business tomorrow morning. I am so tired of low quality poops and constipation (I guess I do have a phen complaint, touche). And just the thought of ridding my body of intestinal evils is freeing. YAY! I'm hoping this will be a 4-6 pound loss week like some of you are experiencing. I need to break a plateau, I've been bouncing within a 2 pound range for 2 weeks....
