We have done the Master Cleanse for 10 days. It is one of the best cleansing we have done. Easy maybe because we did it together me and my husband. I had my bottle with me everywhere and when I was thinking of food I was drinking. We have meet a lots of people who does the master cleanse every year because they enjoy it. Good luck ! Nanoo
Thank You Nan, I will be starting it tomorrow. Everybody that I have talked to about it says how hard it is because of the not eating and I love to eat so we will see how I handle it. Thanks again.
Dear Jessica,
We wish you good luck. The trick is to cary your bottle with you. We are planning to do the Master cleansing again in April. Will stay in touch. good luck with it. Nan
What is the Master cleanse?? Imoved to Mexico City last June and they have NO CLEANSES here. I used Dr. Natura once and would like to use it again, butI would have to order it online and I don't trust the mail delivery here (for good reasons I won't go into here).
What about lemon (or lime) water??
Then again I always hear one doesn'tneed to do cleanses if they are almost a raw vegan.
Hi John,
You can buy the book at any book store. ( around $10.00) My husband was happy getting all the info on the net. When we finished our cleansing someone gave me the book so here some info from it: HOW TO MAKE IT
2 Tbsp organic lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)
2 Tbsp genuine maple syrup ( not maple flavored sugar syrup)
1/10 Tsp cayenne pepper (red pepper) or to taste
Water
Combine the juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper in a 10 oz glass and fill with medium hot water (cold water may be used if preferred)
@ page 14 The Master Cleanser with special needs and problems by Stanley Burroughs
On page 18 he talks about
Internal Salt Water Bathing
(we did that first thing in the morning)
DIRECTIONS:
Prepare a full quart of luke-warm wter and add two level teaspoons of sea salt. Do not use ordinary iodized salt as it will not work properly. Drink the entire quart of salt and water first thing in the morning. This must be taken on an empty stomach. The salt and water will not separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire tract in about one hour. Several eliminations will likely occur.
On page 18 Stanley recommend to take the laxative herb tea right from the beginning.- the last thing at night and the first thing in the morning. If you do the internal Salt Water Bathing don't bother with the tea in the morning. I was able to find the tea at the general food store but any health food store will have it. Recommend to take it in a liquid form.
HOW MUCH DOES ONE DRINK ? Page 17
Take from 6 to 12 glasses of the lemonade daily during the waking period. As you get hungry just have another glass of lemonade. NO OTHER FOOD SHOULD BE TAKEN DURING THE FULL PERIOD OF THE THE DIET. Do not use vitamin pills.
For those who are overweight, less maple syrup may be taken. For those underweight, more maple syrup may be taken. For those who are underweight and worried about losing more weight, REMEMBER, the only things you can possibly lose are mucus, waste, and disease. Healthy tissue will not be eliminated. Many people who need to gain weight actually do so near the end of the diet period.
Never vary the amount of lemon juice per glass. About 6 glasses of lemonade a day is enough for those wishing to reduce. Extra water may be taken as desired.
Hope that helps a bit. I find nothing in the book in regards to raw food or vegan. Good luck ! Nanoo
Thank you VERY MUCH Nanoo for all of the great information you posted!! I printed it out so I don't forget. Is this a cleanse that requies one to not eat while doing it or would it be OK to eat as long as it's like veggies and fruits?
How many glasses of the apple cidar vinegar did you drink per day? I may do it for one day every week for a while. I just bought some organic apple cidar today and may start a cleanse this weekend. Did you do two spoons in a glass of water?
The Master Cleanser has been around for a very long time, and is very effective. I did it for the first time in the 80's to clear out life-threatening toxins. To be most effective, you consume nothing but organic lemon juice, pure water, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and perhaps some herbal tea to break the monotony. As hard as it is to imagine, after the first day or two of not eating, you're actually not hungry. The maple syrup provides sufficient calories. Since this sounds like a drastic procedure, look into the Master Cleanser, and get a copy of the small book to read first. This will ensure your success.
I have done this cleanser every year for 12 days since my initial cleanse of 33 days in '85. There's so much living to be done, I don't want to spend a minute being sick - and I don't! The Master Cleanser is definitely an important part of my approach to dealing with a very polluted world.
