You may have heard of The Master Cleanse
or Lemonade Diet and possibly you may have even done one of the cleanses years
ago! There is a lot of invalid information available and I would like to tell
you why I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this program!
First some physiological instruction. Our bodies are
designed to regenerate cells, heal broken bones on their own, fight off
infection, be whole and vibrant, and live long, pain-free lives!! WHAT
HAPPENED?? Most of us came into this world with genetic weaknesses towards
different illnesses. We compound these weaknesses by consuming dead food,
sugars, processed food, chemicals, hormones, drugs (legal and illegal) and are
exposed to environmental toxins - all in the name of HEALTH!! Our colons are a
mess and everything backs up from there! The greater the backup (congestion,
constipation, whatever word you choose) the greater the likelihood of dis-ease.
Symptoms such as eczema, acne, asthma, cancer, boils, arthritis, etc. are
results of a filthy, acidic system. It really does not matter what drugs -
synthetic or natural - we take to offset our dis-eases if we continue to eat a
dead, acidic diet we will continue to get sicker and sicker. As a child if I
wanted to do something because "every one else was doing it," my parents set me
straight with the typical parental answer, "If every one jumped off a cliff,
would you follow them?" I see this very thing happening all around us. Just
because EVERY ONE you know is on medication, hurting, even dying does not mean
YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW them over the cliff or to the grave!
The more toxins we consume and absorb through exposure,
the more our bodies create fat cells to protect our organs. As the toxins are
removed the fat cells are eliminated also! This does not mean that thin people
cannot be toxic!! The greater the toxin load, the greater the depletion of
essential minerals. Magnesium deficiency is one of
the results of improper nutrition and toxic overload. (Check out our
Magnesium Oil and other products to increase your
Magnesium levels WITHOUT diarrhea!!)
Now that you understand HOW you
got where you are, what do you do now??
- First - Decide TODAY you are of value and making better food
choices will give you control of your life!! If you can plant your
dinner in your garden and it grows, it is good for you as it contains
essential LIVE enzymes & nutrients to feed your cells and give them the
tools necessary to regenerate healthy cells and combat unhealthy cells! If
after planting your dinner, the ground begins to rot - the same thing
happens in your body! Yuck!
- Chew your food to a totally liquid state and swish your liquids to
thoroughly mix with the saliva! This PREDIGESTS the food making nutrient
absorption increase 40-60% in the colon!
- NO beverages 1 hour before and 2 hours after meals. Liquids dilute
the digestive juices that are critical to speedy and effective
digestion.
- If you have difficulty with acid reflux, you want to INCREASE the
acid instead of stopping it. You need hydrochloric acid in your stomach
to digest food. You can aid your digestion by SIPPING a mixture of 1
Tablespoon Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar + 1 Tablespoon raw honey + 6-8
ounces warm water. Stir and sip 15-20 minutes before meals.
- Meats, dairy - all animal products - are very acidic! These require
additional calcium for digestion and this calcium does not come from the
supplement (crushed rock) you took, it is taken from your bones,
arteries, etc.!
- Eat WHOLESOME foods - by definition not just pure but in the WHOLE
state! Once food is extracted into parts we lose the intricate value of
the whole food. For example: Apple seeds contain cyanide, a poison. If
extracted and eaten alone, you could get sick or die if you ate enough
of the cyanide. However, if you eat the seeds WITH the apple, this same
cyanide when combined with the enzymes in the apple provide cancer
fighting features we should all want!
- Second - Decide TODAY to stop harmful habits such as tobacco,
alcohol, coffee, black tea, addictive substances - drugs, SUGAR, for some
addicting carbohydrates, processed foods, illegal and legal drugs including
over-the-counter drugs. Here is something to think about. When people get
a headache and pop aspirin do they really have an aspirin deficiency
that caused the headache?? Hmmm??
- Here is
a link for the ingredients in cigarettes - curiously TOBACCO is not
listed. Tobacco extract is listed...hmmm...
- Coffee and black tea contain tannins which are very harmful.
The temperature of food and liquids also matters.
Very hot or very cold items require extra energy to get the item to body
temperature BEFORE it can even begin digestion!
- If I eat ONE carbohydrate in the morning, I am grazing all day long!
Stopping sugar consumption was easier for me than stopping
carbohydrates! But, stopping CHEESE was harder than anything else! I
never would have thought cheese could be addictive. I was wrong!
- Drugs - do I really need to go there?
- Third - Decide TODAY to add exercise to your daily routine. There
are two regimens I recommend. T-Tapp to
strengthen the body from the inside out and a
Cellerciser
to exercise every single cell in the body at once! Not all rebounders are
the same!!
- Fourth - Decide TODAY to eliminate toxins currently in your
system!
- There are many programs available to remove built up mucus in the
colon but these are restrictive to the lower colon only. Colonics,
laxatives, and the like are NOT HEALTHY. They are ADDICTIVE and should
not be used. I highly recommend by
Dr.
Christopher's Lower Bowel formula which contains herbs that will
break up mucus, eliminate the waste, and HEAL THE COLON!!
- Juice fasting has been used successfully for CENTURIES!! That many
people cannot be wrong! When you juice (not blend) vegetables or fruit,
you are getting concentrated nutrients without the impact of needing to
digest fiber. This provides the body with cleansing and nourishing
properties that allow the body to heal!! My favorite juice cleanse to
date is The Master Cleanse.
- Fifth - If necessary, change your mental attitude. BE GRATEFUL!
Life is wonderful. As long as you are still breathing, you have choices!
Avoid negative, nasty people. They are demoralizing!! If you must be around
them, be sure they are standing on your RIGHT side. Our bodies absorb energy
from the LEFT. If a negative person is on your LEFT side, you will absorb
their negative vibrations. Switch places and share your positive energies
with them!
The Master Cleanse
Check with your health care professional before
stopping medications!!
Ingredients needed
- Lemons, preferably organic. Wash them prior to using.
You will use the juice in every glass. This is squeezed lemons, not run
through a juicer! To get more juice from every lemon they should be room
temperature and if you roll them on the counter breaks the little juice
pockets and yields more juice!
- Grade B Maple Syrup - nutrient dense and makes the
Lemonade taste yummy!
- Cayenne Pepper - 40,000 h.u. is sufficient. Start
with a small amount in every glass and increase as your tolerance for the
heat increases. For more information on the benefits of Cayenne Pepper click
here. I have this for sale in one pound bags
here.
- Herbal laxative tea. Smooth Move in regular or
chocolate is a great choice!
- Sea Salt - do not used iodized salt!
- Good water - preferably without chlorine or fluoride!
- Peppermint tea - this is optional but so good for
you! This tea tones the entire system and helps eliminate the cramping that
can occur from the laxative tea.
- Probiotics are taken AFTER the cleanse for
about 30 days!
- For easy instructions, buy the book
"Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days"
Instructions
- Mentally you must be prepared to not eat, smoke,
drink coffee, etc. nothing except what is outlined for a minimum of 10 days.
- Do not take supplements while on the cleanse. One
exception is using our Magnesium Oil or
Magnesium Gel - the body absorbs vital
Magnesium THROUGH THE SKIN and is fine as you are bypassing the digestive
tract!! Check with your health care professional
before stopping medications!!
- The evening before beginning the Master Cleanse -
and every evening while on the cleanse - prepare and drink one cup of
Smooth Move tea.
- First thing in the morning - before you drink
any lemonade, carefully measure 2 TEASPOONS into 1 QUART (32 fl oz) of
water. (Not ice cold.) Stir until the salt is dissolved.
Drink this taking no more than 10 minutes. Some people prefer to use a straw
to avoid the salt taste. This measurement MUST be exact as this
changes the weight of the water (specific gravity) to match that of the
blood. By doing so, this liquid bypasses the bloodstream and works to
flush the colon of the debris loosened by the lemonade and laxative tea!
You will need to stay close to the bathroom for 60-90 minutes after drinking
the SWF (Salt Water Flush) but you should not have any
urgency throughout the day. If you absolutely cannot do the SWF, you may
substitute this with a cup of Smooth Move laxative tea.
- WAIT ONE HOUR before drinking the first
Lemonade!
- After one hour you may begin consuming the Lemonade.
Mix this by adding 1 OUNCE of fresh squeezed lemon juice + 1 OUNCE of Grade
B Maple Syrup to 8 OUNCES of water. Add Cayenne pepper to tolerance. Stir
and enjoy!! NOTE - IF YOU MAKE THIS DRINK AHEAD THE CAYENNE PEPPER WILL
STEEP AND GET HOTTER AS THE DAY GOES ON!!
- Drink a MINIMUM of six 10 ounce glasses of lemonade
per day. Consuming more is fine! If you feel "hungry" have another lemonade!
- You may drink Peppermint tea, if desired in the
afternoon. But, this is not a peppermint tea cleanse, do not exchange
Peppermint tea for the Lemonade!
- Repeat this regimen for a minimum of 10 days but no
more than 40! If you tongue turns pink, you are finished cleansing.
- Do NOT end the cleanse on a detox day - even
if it is day 10! You need to go one more day to clear all the junk causing
the detox symptoms!
- End the cleanse properly! You have gone
without solid food for several days and stopping the cleanse is as
important as doing the cleanse correctly.
- On the last day do not drink the laxative tea.
You are finished!!
- Begin taking the Probiotics on the first day
after completing the Master Cleanse!
- First and second day off the cleanse Raw
foodists & vegetarians
- Drink as much FRESH orange or grapefruit
juice SLOWLY over the next two days. This will stop the cleansing
process and begin to prepare your body for food. If full strength is
too strong, you may dilute the juice with water.
- Third day - orange juice in the morning. Raw
fruit for lunch. Fruit or raw vegetable salad at night. You are now
ready to eat normally.
- First day off the cleanse if you are returning to
animal products and other devitalized foods. It is best to change
over to fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
- Drink as much FRESH orange or grapefruit
juice SLOWLY. This will stop the cleansing process and begin to
prepare your body for food. If full strength is too strong, you may
dilute the juice with water.
- Second day off the cleanse drink several
glasses of orange juice diluting with water if necessary. Mid
afternoon prepare a vegetable soup (not canned) with lots of
vegetables and seasonings. Brown rice may be used but no meat or
meat stock. Cook as little as possible. Have this for the evening
meal, consuming mostly broth and a small amount of the vegetables.
Rye wafers may be eaten but no bread or crackers.
- Third day drink orange juice. Have more of
the vegetable soup prepared the day before for lunch. For dinner
have your choice of vegetables, salads, or fruit. No meat, dairy,
processed foods.
- Fourth day - normal eating may be resumed
however, if gas or irritation occurs, return to the Lemonade for
several days until the system is ready for food.
- Soaking in a hot tub can be very rewarding during
the Master Cleanse. You may EITHER use Epsom Salts to draw toxins
out of your body quickly (through the skin). Be sure to drink at least 1
quart of liquid while in the tub! OR enjoy the
Ultimate Bath experience and
feed Magnesium into the body through the skin! Do NOT mix Magnesium Oil
with Epsom Salts. These are two different types of Magnesium and they do
different things! One OR the other is great!
Warnings
- You will likely experience detox symptoms. These may
be headache, flu-like symptoms, etc. THIS IS NORMAL AND SOMETHING TO BE
GRATEFUL FOR!
- If you consumed caffeine prior to the cleanse, your
caffeine withdrawal will be as severe as your addiction was. You would be
well advised to stop caffeinated beverages (or food) prior to beginning the
Master Cleanse to lessen the pain!
- Your tongue will become coated and really nasty
looking. This is an indication of the effectiveness of the cleanse and why a
pink tongue is something to look forward to seeing!!
- You may CRAVE certain foods, flavors, even
cigarettes (if you smoked previously) while on the cleanse. This is your
body's way of letting you know that particular mucus layer is being broken
up for removal!! DO NOT give into the cravings - they will be gone
the next day with the Salt Water Flush!!
Benefits of Completing the
Master Cleanse!
- You will have more energy!
- You will wake rested even on fewer hours of sleep!
- Your skin will become silky soft!
- Your mental clarity will improve - even becoming more
spiritual and enlightened!
- If needed, you will lose weight!
- You will never have to deal with any of the
eliminated toxins ever again!!
- For many people, they no longer need medication - or
at least a reduced amount! **Always consult your health care practitioner
BEFORE commencing any cleansing program!
What is really going on? And,
some my experiences!
The Lemonade is cutting through layers & layers of mucus
in your colon and throughout your system. The Cayenne pepper is very healing and
speeds this action. The Laxative tea further loosens old fecal matter & mucus.
The Salt Water Flush literally flushes everything from the prior day taking
toxins, mucus, CRAVINGS, emotional baggage - everything we held on to is
removed FOREVER! You will never have to deal with those things again,
ever!
Yes, I said CRAVINGS!! Prior to my first Master
Cleanse I was a chocolate/sugar junkie! I knew I wanted to switch to mostly raw
food and had heard horror stories of people having a difficult time with the
cravings. Once I discovered the Master Cleanse and read about the cravings going
away, along with the other benefits, I knew this was right for me! My first
cleanse was 40 days - I intended to only do 10 but felt so amazing I just kept
going! After this cleanse I had NO desire for chocolate, sweets, junk food at
all! Even raw food desserts are too sweet for my taste!! In the last year I have
completed 5 Master cleanses ranging from 20 to 40 days. Two of those cleanses
resulted in a pink tongue!!
 This photo is
NOT enhanced!!
As discussed at the beginning, most people have eaten very
mucus forming foods and each layer of mucus glues more toxins to our colon. Just
as each layer is added, the Master Cleanse removes these toxins layer by layer.
On extended cleanses I experienced cravings for Italian seasonings at different
times. I am sure each time was a different layer of Lasagna from years ago!!
Many people bury emotions and the Master Cleanse will cut through those layers
as well resulting in having to work through those experiences again. Any
effective cleanse will do this. The benefit to the Master Cleanse is it will do
it quicker as the Salt Water Flush will remove the layer as quickly as the
lemonade breaks it up! Again, once gone - gone forever!
Because you are not eating the body only has one thing to
do - clean house!! This provides a ton of energy. Most mornings I would wake
early and simply be done sleeping! My skin feels like silk and continues after
the cleanse PROVIDED I do not return to unhealthy foods. I cannot recommend the
Master Cleanse enough!
