The Master Cleanse Lemonade

Since having surgery, I've been thinking about a body cleanse to rid myself of toxins, and post-op medications. I've come across the Master Lemonade Cleanse and am going to give it a try, starting tomorrow through Sunday. I hope it works for me. I do have a black pepper allergy, but not sure about cayenne pepper. I should know within a day or two. I'll report back how I did on The Master Cleanse Lemonade detox.

Before you try this cleanse, read the book The Master Cleanse by Stanley Burroughs or visit this The Master Cleanse website for more information about the The Master Cleanse. You can buy all the ingredients locally or order online a Master Cleanse 10-Day Organic Kit.



The Master Cleanse Lemonade is prepared by mixing the ingredients in the following recipe:

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice. Use organic lemons, fresh, not bottled juice. Limes may be substituted. Lemon zest and pulp may be added, making sure that the lemons are organic and not artificially colored or treated with pesticides

2 tablespoons of maple syrup. This must be pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup, Grade B, which has more color and nutrients than Grade A.

1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

Water. 8 ounces, preferably spring water, but not tap water or chlorinated water. Drink 6-8 glasses minimum each day.

AnswerBag - It is recommended to do this cleanse either once a week or do it twice a year, spring and fall for 6-10 days. Galeanda claims to experience after a few days increased energy and after day 6 or 7 feels like it's time start adding foods very slowly into the diet, starting with veggies and fruits and maybe some rice. You can add a food group back as you feel the need. It is recommended to stay away from 'white' foods such as white sugar, white flour and processed foods for as long as possible."

Do not use honey in the lemonade.

Do not take any kind of supplements or vitamin pills or using illicit drugs. You shouldn’t smoke or drink alcohol, coffee, tea, cola. Evidently, when you are on this cleanse your cravings for them usually completely disappear.

No other food or drink should be consumed at all. If you get hungry, you can drink all the lemonade without harm.

To help you eliminate your bowels during this liquid cleanse, it has been recommended to either take Trifala (triphala) capsules (available at health food stores), drink an herbal laxative tea like Smooth Move or drink a sea salt water flush (2 tsp. with 32-oz. of luke warm water - listen to Jim's recommendation in the video below).

Watch this short video for making larger batches of the Master Cleanse Lemonade. I found this to be very helpful. Jim shops at Whole Foods for the ingredients, then takes it all home to make 32-ounce or 64-ounce jugs of the cleansing lemonade.



Let me do a little math for you here for larger batches. For every 8 cups of water, add 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 cup of Grade B pure maple syrup, along with 4/5 of a teaspoon, or to make it easier measure 3/4 of a teaspoon, of cayenne pepper. I mix and store this size batch in an empty distilled water jug. Shake well, before measuring out each 6-8 ounce serving throughout the day. One large batch provides your enough servings for one day of a 6-7 day cleanse.
