Patty,
I have seen other cleanses that use other juices...I like the simplicity of this one.
The unfiltered apple juice I believe is to keep your calories up & keep you hydrated.
A gallon of the apple juice I had added up to 1600 calories a day.
Gives you something that tastes good too!
I drink the water until I can't stand water & then I have a good sized glass of apple juice.
I use a fine mesh screen & counted 19 Kid. stones(3 large & the rest small) - I make alot of stones, my kidneys are usually peppered with them when I get X-rays.
I have had no pain & feel more energized!! I recommend it if you are suffering from KS.
Keep us posted!
