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

[Ninja Homer]

Do you know where I can get a clear and concise strategy for the MC? Don't mention the book though, I wouldn't feel like buying it.

I would love reading the whole thread, because of the arguments coming from all sides, but, I'd love something very organized.

Sorry, but I gotta mention the book.

Here it is: http://healthandlight.com/TheMasterCleanse.pdf

You won't find anything more clear, concise, and organized than the book itself. It's only 30 pages.

Ok funny story. I have had an enormous amount of exposure to gun smoke over the years as well as some very aromatic gun cleaning solvents. The last time I had serious exposure to copious amounts of gun smoke was in the fall, and then the last time I used gun solvent was shortly thereafter. The gun cleaner I used is called Eezox, anyone who has used it knows it has a very powerful and very unique smell. I always use gloves and all that but I do inhale the fumes to some extent while cleaning. So months went by after any exposure to these pollutants before I started the MC.

My second round of detox that started on day 10 resulted in a salt water flush that was akin to being in a crowded indoor fireing range, olfactoraly speaking. It was the strong and unmistakable emanation of burnt gun powder, predominately Wolff to be more precise but it was a multifarious bouqet. The next day produced a slightly more subtle but still unmistakable essence of Eezox. There was no doubt in my mind that I had just expelled Eezox from somewhere in my body. It was fascinating.

lmao. i think im going to fart a lot of "go out there and get a job!"s

I don't really know of any day by day journal type accounts, I'm sure they are out there though, it would be interesting to read.

Here is a MC support forum that may be helpful:
http://www.curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=478

I think there is a link to the .pdf of the book on page 3 of this thread.

Yes I would say it was a spiritual experience for sure though I guess it could affect different people differently. I enjoyed it for this benefit alone. I'm sure I benefited physiologically as well, I cannot say which one more, spirituality is too abstract to quantify.

You will be fine with the recent workout but don't lift weights or anything that will break down tissue and require repair. Light workouts are ok, and recommended to help maintain metabolism.

There are some teas you can drink, like peppermint and senna, but most I think you are supposed to stay away from because they require digestion to some degree, which is what you are trying to shut down. I don't know what they are, you will have to consult the curezone forum. I personally would not drink any thing other than the lemon juice mixture and the senna (if needed).

You will stop giving a shit within about 4 or 5 days of starting the fast, from that point you can proceed with the salt water flushes (use sea salt, not iodized table salt).

I don't ride anymore because I moved away from my dad's farm years ago and just don't have the time anymore. Although he still has horses they are now mainly retired thoroughbred race horses, not ideal for riding since they are pretty high strung, rather than the Tennessee walkers he used to have. Thanks for the offer though!

I'll post a funny story about the MC in a while when I get back.

yeah, green tea works with your digestion, so that's out of the picture.

ill try the senna. it isn't too much is it? im on a strict budget for this cleanse (already have the organic grade b maple syrup. i didn't know non-corn-based-high-fructose real deal syrup was so delicious!i melted when i tasted it for the first time. ill always remember my first time :o

You won't be farting anything doing salt water flushes. You drink the salt water, then 20-60min you spray salt water (sometimes spiked with gun cleaner as it happens).

will it be as unbearable/gross going out as it is going in?

It's actually not that bad. But you'll need to stay by a toilet for the next 1-3 hours.

I did one on day 3, but haven't had time in the mornings to do another one since. I know I need to... my body is telling me I need to in the mornings. I'm just too nervous to "do what needs to be done" at work.

I'm looking forward to my next SWF on Saturday.

I didn't know about the green tea. I had some yesterday morning and it didn't seem to bother me. It was a refreshing change of pace though. In fact, as I was opening the tea, a wave of giddiness came over me. It was weird.

Day 5

Headaches continue to diminish. Body aches not bad at all now. Pimples have been a problem for the last couple of days. Cravings were really intense yesterday evening. Last night I dreamt I was peeling and eating an orange. It was amazing.

Here are some random comments I've received today: "You look great","You've lost weight", "You look like you're beaming","You like you have a lot more energy". These were all unsolicited comments, at different times, from different people... some of whom know I'm cleansing and some who don't. Kind of interesting.

I've dropped about 10 lbs, although who knows what that really means. I also feel that it's been a lot easier for me to focus at work the last 2 days.

oh, so it's turning you into a lady magnet, eh??

oh and, how are you preparing for when you will taper off the MC?will you buy the vegetable and fruits you will turn into broth and juice towards the end?

edit

oh, and about your pimples. what will MC do with acne?

i always thought that acne was exacerbated by the toxins that are stored throughout your system, mostly in your fats. that when those toxins got shaken out, you'd have a problem. not that stored toxins were the major causes, but factors nonetheless.

do you think the mc's cleansing will take care of acne a bit?

The book (and several in this thread) talks about tapering off with orange juice for a day or two, followed by the introduction over the next few days of fresh vegetable broth, vegetables, fruits, and probiotics. This is what I plan to do also, although I haven't figured out the specifics just yet.

Coming off this thing too fast would be disastrous. You're body has to rebuild it's supply of healthy digestive bacteria and that doesn't happen overnight.

you're correct that the acne is a known side effect of detox. I was expecting it sooner or later. They seem to be much better today then the previous two days.

Did that answer your questions?

 

[lucius]

Way to Go!

Hang on, first three days are the hardst--shoot for 40...it may change you...

would you be less acne prone with a masterly cleansed body?

im going to start saturday, and i would love for you to guide me if i ever have issues.

this is your first time as well, correct?

I believe that would be the case. Although all bets are off if you start ingesting the same toxins you were before. If you're biologically prone to acne, I don't know. I don't see how it would hurt at all.

As far as guides go, there are many in this thread that would be a much better guide (lucius, swath, ninja, danke, danno just to name a few). However, I'm more than happy to be a companion with you on your journey

Yes, this is my first time doing something like this. I'm so grateful I stumbled on this thread a few weeks ago. Once I decided to do this, it took me about a week of just pure mental preparation. Make sure you're ready to do this before you start. I think you need to prepare yourself to achieve your goal, so when the temptation arises to drift off course, it's not even an option in your mind.

Others, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that if one starts down this path and after a couple or a few days decides to stop (after your body has begun changing to accept the fast), you can do some serious damage. I'm only basing this on what I've experienced these last 5 days.

Also want to add... I started out drinking 8 cups a day. By the end of the third day I found I didn't have much appetite for the lemonade. The next day was better, but yesterday and today (day 4 and 5) I find I'm only able to stomach about 6 cups a day and my desire to drink the lemonade seems to be diminishing a bit each day.

Also, I'm having a hard time with the cayenne pepper. I started out with the recommended 1/10 teaspoon per serving, but starting day 4 I could only tolerate about half that. I find it to be the worst part of this cleanse. Although I have found a way to make it less unpleasant: I just chug the drink instead of sipping on it and quickly chase it with a glass of water.

 

[jlott00]

im on day 4...and my tongue is WHITE!!!! i had some yellow discharge from the nose and throat on day 3 and 2.....but not much today.....ive noticed my smell coming back...i learned this when my boss talked to me first thing this morning ....wow i could smell him 3 ft away....outside! .....im hopnig my smell is fully restored before the mc is over

and dont worry, im pretty excited about this. and i KNOW i can endure it, because i want to show friends and family the benefits of this cleanse. so i have something to prove, and i believe it is important for my health as well as theirs.

my journal will start tomorrow!!

 

[Kraig]

From what I hear the first few days are rough? Would I be able to work ok during those first days? I am planning on starting on a Saturday so at least the first 2 days I wont have work.

Organic is better than conventional, but it's not a make or break thing. Wash them well, juice them, and throw away the peel. Most of the chemicals are in the peel.

With organic lemons, some people will just throw a whole lemon into a blender along with the syrup, cayenne, and water. The peel is supposed to have some additional benefits, but I don't remember what they are off hand.

If you end up staying on a longer cleanse, you may want to consider switching to organic.
