Master Cleanse (maple syrup, lemon/lime juice, red pepper & water)

Yes, I have heard of someone with really really bad chronic fatigue caused by some kind of condition and they were completely cured by this diet. A good friend of mine swears by this diet and she got them on it and it completely turned their life around. Sorry I don't remember the condition they had, this was almost 4 years ago.

Be sure that you have the correct maple syrup (grade B or C) and just be sure to pace yourself with your activities while on the diet and I think you'll be fine.

The kind of "tired" I was when I was on the diet was more of a calming, lack of get up and go, and less of the kind where you're really tired and you need sleep.. know what I mean? More "calm" less "fatigued" I guess.


I would cut down on smoking herb if you smoke a lot while on the diet. Just smoke enough so you don't feel ill. (EDIT: Just looked more into your condition. Smoke as much as you need for your condition, just don't over-do it)

You basically felt lazy?

Nah, I didn't feel "couched" so much as I just didn't feel like I could go out and run a mile... but I could go out and take a walk or short jog maybe.

It's more of a feeling of having a smaller amount of sustainable energy.. like I could get a lot of work done throughout the day, but probably couldn't get a lot done in 10 or 15 minutes.

Don't you remember being a kid? How much energy you had?

After years of eating crappy food, your intestines are full of a bunch of nasty toxic shit. Think about what happens to food while it's in your body. On top of being extremely unhealthy, this makes it harder for your body to take in nutrients.

There is no question this diet is a "cleanse". It's lemon. Lemon is a natural cleanser. It is cleansing your intestines. After several days of not eating anything, you are still pooping out solid material. This is material that has been stuck in your intestines for years. It's like drinking Drano, but it is perfectly healthy. The weight you are losing is the crap in your intestines, not fat. You don't lose much fat on this diet. There's food and mucus and all sorts of stuff, and the cayenne gets the mucus out, lemon cleans out the food. After the diet your intestines are clean. Your body can absorb nutrients, your metabolism speeds up, just like when you were a kid and your intestines were brand new. A faster metabolism helps you lose the fat AFTER this diet is done it's work.

It doesn't take a scientific report to figure out that this diet is a "cleanse", all it takes is a brain and a little initiative. This diet is the fountain of youth for your intestines.

Peer reviewed studies always help, too. Can't discount the placebo effect.

Okay, next question.

I have raw honey...could that be used in place of the syrup?

I think honey has been discussed. If you can't find it in this thread, look at the websites linked in this thread for lengthy discussions. If I remember correctly, they advise sticking to maple syrup.
 
Okay, day 3.

You guys were right, the more cayenne pepper = less hunger pains. 7 - 8 cups of lemonade and I'm good to go all day.

I can already notice some distinct positive changes, albeit minor at this point:

1. scents are definitely more pronounced.

2. I've lost the always full feeling, easier to stretch fully (abdomen and lower back, btw I am not overweight by a longshot, and my body mass index is actually low)

3. My head is "clean", not cognitively but literally. The passages between my throat and nose to ears are unclogged. When I yawn my ears pop. Also I used to have to sleep breathing through my mouth, I was always congested enough to where breathing through my nose while sleeping was impossible. This lead to dry mouth and constant waking up to drink something due to being parched. Last night I slept through the night, did not wake once to drink from the water I had prepared. When I woke my mouth was closed and still moist. A first in YEARS, literally. And when I jog I can breath 100% through my nose and never through the mouth, this was unheard of for me since my karate days when I was a kid.

I do not suffer from allergies or any other ailment, this cleanse was to me more for the mental benefits when hitting day 30+. but after feeling this good after 3 days that's all the motivation I need to keep on trucking with this diet.

I know reason 3 above is due to the local syrup and cayenne pepper unstuffing the mucus buildup in the membranes, no miracle there. But that alone is reason enough to try this diet for a week if you have trouble sleeping/snoring. Tomoorw I'm starting the salt flush in the morning, haven't done so yet because I boought the wrong salt, went and bought sea salt today.

Updates as I notice changes.
 
Day 4

Sleeping like a baby!

Woke up this morning, did the salt water flush! It's not nearly as bad as some make it out to be. Getting sea water in your mouth is much worse. Minutes later the rumbling commenced...

I washed it down with the lemonade as a chaser, is that fine? Or should I have waited to ingest the lemonade? (although the lemonade tasted like sweet heaven after the flush!) :D

Lemons cleaning pounds of shit out of your body is not a placebo affect. It is cleaning pounds of shit out of your body. It's like if my kitchen floor was nasty and I cleaned it, and came on here to talk about it and here comes Met Income asking me if a peer reviewed study was done to determine if my floor had been cleaned. I mean, c'mon.

Draino cleans my pipes, maybe I should drink that? I'm asking because it would add credibility on top of anecdotal evidence. I'm a skeptical guy, that's how I made it over here.. and I will continue to be for a long time.

You're unlikely to find any peer reviewed studies on this because there isn't any money to be made off of it. If empirical evidence is ok with you, here's 800 pages of it: http://curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=478

And no, you can't discount the placebo effect... it's a real effect that helps the body heal. The mind and body are connected, and if the mind believes the body will heal, then the body is more likely to heal.

Apply the placebo effect to a pharmaceutical company's double-blind study, and if one group is more positive that they will be healed than the other group, then the more positive group will probably have better results, and the whole study is worthless. If the pharmaceutical company knows this (and they do) then they can set up the groups to make their "medicine" have better results. I trust empirical evidence much more than I do double-blind studies when it comes to medicine.

Apply the placebo effect to a doctor's office, and if one patient with a terminal illness is told that there's no hope, while another patient is told that there's always hope because this illness has been beaten before, the patient with hope is more likely to survive. Hope triggers the placebo effect, and the placebo effect triggers the body to heal itself. People often say that patients shouldn't be given "false hope", but really there's no such thing as false hope when it comes to healing. Every terminal illness has been survived by somebody after doctors have given up on them, no matter how extreme, and it has almost always been by somebody who never gave up hope. Hopefully some day doctors will understand this connection between the mind and the body's healing process, and then they will teach doctor's to encourage people that there is always hope, and then when people heal themselves the doctors can say, "I knew you could do it" rather than, "it's a miracle!"

Drink-up, I'm buying--just kidding...rather predictable, prime example of our dialectic materialistic secular humanist indoctrination, it can't be measured, it doesn't exist...kinda pedestrian if you don't understand gage theory...no matter...just another mindless tool...but we can all be a tool for personal liberity.

Lies, damn lies, and statistics--mark twian

Ps: On day two of another master cleanse, going for just 10-21 days, tounge still pink. Using blackstrap molassis instead of maple syrup. Will do another liver cleanse when the moon begins to wain. :D
