Master Cleanser TIPS!!
Some Great Tips from The Master Cleanser Forum
In Chapter 2, page 17, Mr. Burroughs recommends using Maple River Valley Syrup. We have changed our name to Maple Valley, but our syrup is still the same amazing “Organic Grade B Maple Syrup”.
Please follow the Master Cleanser to the letter, as Mr. Burroughs intended. There is no need to add or take away anything from the program, doing so can compromise the success of your cleanse and even your health.
Organic lemons are essential, as non-organic lemons are loaded with chemicals that you are trying to rid your body of. No point in cleansing if you are going to use chemical-laden fruit. YES, the chemicals and toxins DO get into the fruit. Lemon skin is porous, things seep in, and the ground non-organic fruit is grown in is also rich in toxins which enter the plant with its water intake.
Organic Cayenne Capsules (these are included in our all organic Master Cleanser Kits) can be taken in place of the cayenne powder in the lemonade, just take 5 capsules throughout the day. That amount is equal to 1 teaspoon of cayenne. You may also open the capsule and put it directly into the lemonade – each capsule holds enough cayenne for two Master Cleanse drinks.
Make your Master Cleanser lemonade as close to the time you intend to drink it as possible. It is acceptable to squeeze your lemon juice in the morning for the day's lemonade. You can then bring the juice, water, organic maple syrup, and cayenne with you in separate containers, mixing your master cleanser lemonade as needed during the day. I like to squeeze a day's worth of lemons in the morning, then prepare two 3-glass batches to bring to work/school as breakfast and lunch, waiting until the time I am drinking to add the cayenne so it doesn't sit and get too spicy. When I get home I make one or two more glasses of Master Cleanser Lemonade for dinner to use up the rest of the lemon juice. This way it’s all as fresh as possible - within reason of our busy schedules!
Remember 10 days is the suggested minimum for the Master Cleanse. I always liken it to the first 20 minutes of any workout at the gym - relatively useless on its own, it's a warm-up period for your body and it's what happens after that warm-up that is really where the benefits and action happen. Ten days is the time it takes to flush the digestive tract out and for your body to fully switch over to using its fat resources for energy, thereby releasing toxins stored within. The longer past 10 days you go, the more cleansed your body will become, and the more deeply stored toxins will be able to be removed. Give your body a chance to really cleanse, you won't regret it!
PLEASE READ THE MASTER CLEANSER BOOK! So many questions are answered there, and you can save yourself a lot of time and effort trying to figure things out on your own. Plus, there is a lot of important information about properly breaking the fast.
DO:
Use bottled/filtered/distilled water
Use fresh lemons
Drink all of the salt water mix
You can cut your maple syrup qty in half to induce greater weight loss if needed (I go full strength the first 3 days to get me through!)
DONT: Skip steps
Alter ingredients or formulas
Add supplements not part of the cleanse
Mistake detox symptoms for "being sick"!!!
The first 3 days are the worst (days 2 and 3 typically). Expect headaches, nausea, and flu-like symptoms. The first toxins to go are those readily accessible in your digestive tract. As these loosen and flush out, you will feel the effects! Caffeine withdrawal also hurts! As your body uses up stored fat, stored toxins are also released into the system creating periods of detox symptoms. Landmark days tend to be 5, 7, 10, and then intermittent periods throughout the rest of a lengthy cleanse. Don't give up and mistake these cleansing waves as "My body is telling me to stop" or "The detox is making me sick"! Your body is just getting RID of The Sick and you're going to feel it. Always drink a lot of water and take it easy. The more water you drink, the faster these symptoms will pass.
If you are on ANY medication, talk to your doctor BEFORE starting the Master Cleanser, as the cleanse can render many medications (like birth control pills!) ineffective, or otherwise interfere with the drugs you are taking. Especially speak with your regular doctor if you plan to stop taking any meds while on the cleanse!
