Well I'm about to start my this cleanse tomorrow....I'm really excited....I'm doing it for the detox purposes but I'm not going to complain about the weight loss thats involved

has anyone done the cleanse or know someone who has...I did a search and didn't come up with anything...

while I was on it, it relieved all of my problems. I did it as a general cleanse (I think I'm addicted to sugar!). It does take self-control to complete the regimen. I still continue to drink a hot lemon and cayenne tea every morning. the lemon is good for your complexion and the pepper is good for the blood.

I love lemonade.

Yes. My uncle does it at LEAST once a year. If you google "Stanley Burroughs" (the guy who created the MASTER CLEANSE), you will get more information. If you want to know even more, let me know and I'll PM you my uncle's website (he and his wife are into it, big time and know a lot about it)

Yeah you can also google "master cleanse" there's this one site thats a message board and people give a day to day account of their results....there are many reasons why people do the cleanse...it will detox you if you have a sugar or caffiene addiction, some people say it has cured their gout, people who want to clean their systems before going vegatarian or vegan, and some just want to lose in average of 20lbs in 10 to 14 days...I'm personally doing it because I have eaten alot of refined sugar and junk over the last few years and I can see a difference in my metabolic rate....I want to boost my energy level and rid my body of all the toxins....once I'm done I'm going to try to eat and live healthier.....I plan on going for 10 to 14 days at first then do a maintenance every month for a few days.....

Are you guys talking about the Lemon juice detox thingy? lol. I remember it was talked about in one of my mom's magazines. I really wanted to try it out, but I lost the information. All i know is you use lemon, cayenne pepper and maple syrup right?

Just in the article it doesn't give a whole lot of information, is that the only thing you are suppose to drink or can you supplement it with food? It sounds like an interesting concept losing like 14 pounds so quickly....that was what initially sparked my interest.

Is this safe?

I know several people who have done this and actually do it quite often. It works - when you work it :-)

I've always done the Leek Soup weekend...it's primarily water weight loss, and then on Sunday evening, my dinner is grilled fish and two veggies. It's a great way to eat healthy and start off the week on the right foot. Also, the soup ain't too bad.

from what I've learned its safe...you're giving your body what it needs through this weird combo of juice, H20, pepper and syrup...its taking in around 500 to 600 calories a day....I'm not expert and I guess you could ask your doctor..but its a holistic approach to detoxifaction....just bought all my supplies today and I'm really excited about this...I'm going to give a day by day account in this thread so if it works or bombs you guys will know....

I'm anxious to hear how well it works! I look forward to your updates!

whiteandblack · #12 10-01-2006, 10:44 PM

shoot, I feel like starting back on it again. like I said before I felt so good while I was on it. but you know after you complete the regimen you're supposed to make that healthy lifestyle change, but I can't keep away from that damn azucar!

Is this the thing that cleans all the feces out or is that something different?

Still BLUTANG · #14 10-02-2006, 10:39 AM

how does it taste?

OOhsoflyDELTA#9 · #15 10-02-2006, 04:52 PM

Ok so I bought the wrong syrup(grade A) yesterday so I didn't start because I just bought the correct one(grade B or C) about an hour ago....to answer someones question yes it cleans out your colon if done correctly....to the other question as far as taste it wasn't bad at all....(I sampled it a few minutes ago) the lady who helped me at the organic foods store said to start really light with the ceyenne pepper and as you get use to it add more...so now I have all the right ingredients and tomorrow I will be in the midst of the "Master Cleanse"....I'll keep the play by play as non-graphic as possible...
