The Master Cleanse / Lemonade Diet
http://therawfoodsite.com/mastercleanse.htm
"In my environmental medicine practice, I attempt to identify
toxic elements, physical and spiritual. Then I can help the patient
avoid, protect against or detoxify them. I follow that with nutrition
to promote as much additional healing as possible. In detoxification,
my goal is always to use what works without further harming the
patient and I use many, many things.
"The Master Cleanse is simple and combines & surp***** many other
detox methods. It literally has been a God-send to my practice. I am
grateful to Peter for seeing, loving, and promoting the values of this
cleanse."
James F. Coy, M.D.

The Master Cleanse, also known as The Lemonade Diet, is the subject of
Peter Glickman's book, Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in
10 Days, which has been in The NY Times, The London Times, The NY
Daily News, Us Weekly, Geraldo's web blog, CBS News, and on the NBC
Today Show!
Purchase The Master Cleanser I have personally done this cleanse more
than 18 times from 2003 onward for periods ranging from 3 to 28 days.
I have counseled my wife 3 times, 30 year old son twice, many, many
people on the phone, and, more than 1,500 on the Master Cleanse
bulletin board during our annual January cleanses (110 in 2004, 228 in
2005, 365 in 2006 and 812 in 2007)!
Please believe me when I say that the Master Cleanse (or the Lemonade
Diet) by Stanley Burroughs is, in my opinion, the fastest and most
effective way to regain your vitality and to feel the joy of living
again, never mind that it will help you lose weight and give you
astounding energy.

Below is a brief summary of some points for doing the Master Cleanse,
but I strongly recommend you read Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be
Happier in 10 Days as it was written specifically for new people to
give them the information that will make it much easier and answer
most of their questions, such as:
* What can you expect on the cleanse?
* Which days are the roughest?
* Is the salt water flush essential?
* What does the cayenne pepper do?
* What to do when it seems nothing is happening?
* How does the Master Cleanse affect women?
* What is the best indication that the cleanse is complete?
* What are the five detox symptoms and why are they im****tant?
* What tends to cause headaches on the cleanse?
* What quantities of the ingredients do you need to buy?
* Why should the maple syrup be organic?
* Can you exercise while on the cleanse?
* What about quitting smoking?
It also includes a daily journal form, shopping list, alphabetical Q &
A list so you can quickly and easily find what you want, and a section
entitled "The 12 Most Common Pitfalls Preventing People from
Succeeding on the Master Cleanse / Lemonade Diet." This knowledge has
helped thousands of people have an easier time on the cleanse.
"Peter Glickman's Lose Weight, Have More Energy and Be Happier in
10 Days lives up to its title. While I'm grateful to Stanley Burroughs
and his family for the original book The Master Cleanser, I found
Glickman's book to be of greater use to me due to the wealth of up-to-
date examples and modern language. With this book as my daily guide, I
completed my first Master Cleanse this March-a full 20 days! Along the
way, I looked up issues and found answers to questions that enabled me
to keep going. As the Community Education Manager at our local health
food store, I have referred many satisfied customers to Lose Weight,
Have More Energy and Be Happier in 10 Days and have gotten great
feedback. Thanks to Peter and to those Master Cleansers for sharing
their experiences. Buy the book! Do the Cleanse!"

For a minimum of 10 days, you drink only the lemonade mixture, made
with organic grade B maple syrup, fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice,
and cayenne pepper added to spring, distilled, or purified (NOT
fluoridated) water.
I have omitted the exact recipe because I have seen that people get
much better results when they have read a book first.
All items for the Master Cleanse
Breaking Your Fast
Breaking a long fast is very, very im****tant. You should ease your way
back to solid food after one or two additional days of juices, orange
or grapefruit. If you are going back to raw fruits and vegetables, you
may do so on the afternoon of the second day. If you have been a meat
eater and/or milk products consumer, ****ft to cooked vegetable soup on
the afternoon of the second day and a salad for dinner.
You may keep the lemonade drink as your breakfast drink after that. Of
course, you would do better with the least amount of meat and no milk
products as they are very productive of mucus and hinder digestion and
absorption of nutrients.
I also strongly recommend you take probiotics AFTER you finish
breaking your cleanse to replace the good bacteria you lose when you
clean your colon thoroughly. These good bacteria manufacture vitamins
A, B1, B2, B3, B12, and K and help control bad bacteria, such as
Candida. By the way, don't waste your money taking probiotics during
the cleanse. They'll just get washed out. Do it after the cleanse.
You can read more about what probiotics do for you here.
Detox Symptoms
Detoxifying literally means removing poisons from your body. Once
these poisons are gone, you will feel energetic, vital, happy and
healthy. It is the poisons that make us feel tired, mentally confused,
irritable, unhappy, depressed and ill. Consequently you should look
forward to detoxification.
Unfortunately, when the toxins are mobilized, they will bring about
those unpleasant feelings and tempt you to quit the cleanse before you
are through. So, you need to understand the symptoms of detoxification
and ensure that you drink your laxative tea and salt water to
stimulate elimination of those toxins.
My experience with the cleanse and with various people doing it has
taught me that whatever symptom I experienced one day, it would be
gone the next morning with my bowel movements. It is nevertheless
helpful to know when you are detoxifying because it helps you to get
through that symptom to know it will be gone tomorrow.
I have grouped the detox symptoms I and others have had into five
groups:
1. Cravings - I have only known one or two people to be hungry on
this cleanse. Drinking more lemonade or water handles that. I have,
however, observed that people on the cleanse crave what they are
detoxifying. Proof that this is true is that the cravings usually go
away the next morning with bowel movements. You can crave anything
when detoxifying, but most likely you will experience cravings for the
most toxic foods, such as pizza, hamburgers, barbeque ribs, etc.
2. Tiredness - When your body fights toxins, whether from
detoxifying or an infection, it diverts energy into healing and away
from the energy you use to work and play. On my first 20 day cleanse,
I was not tired except on the fifteenth day. The next morning, I
experienced heat in my bowel movements, an indication that acidic
toxins were being eliminated. I also lost all sense of tiredness.
3. Irritability - This includes the desire to "just chew something
solid."
4. Physical aches, pains, nausea, vomiting, etc. - These are the
most severe reactions and only occur where a person is severely toxic,
only a small percentage of people experience these. Fortunately, these
have gone away after only a day or two in every case I have heard
about.
5. Hot bowel movements - Your body wastes are acidic and when you
eliminate the most toxic ones, they actually feel anywhere from warm
to burning. This experience is very infrequent, but worth mentioning
because hot bowel movements after a day of heavy detox symptoms will
confirm that you just eliminated significant toxins.
A Special Note on Headaches
In talking to people doing the cleanse, I've learned that people with
caffeine addiction (coffee, soft drinks, etc.) may experience
headaches for the first 2 to 4 days.
Final Note
I hope you will have the same wonderful increase in mental clarity,
health, energy and positive mental attitude that I and others have
found.
