The recipe for the lemonade is simple:
For One Glass:
- 1 oz / 2 Tbsp of Lemon Juice (Freshly Squeezed)
- 1 oz / 2 Tbsp of Organic Grade B Maple Syrup
- 8 oz of Filtered Water
- 1/10 Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
For Six Glasses: (Makes like an OJ Pitcher)
- 6 oz / 12 Tbsp of Lemon Juice (Freshly Squeezed)
- 6 oz / 12 Tbsp of Organic Grade B Maple Syrup
- 48 oz of Filtered Water
- 1/2 Tsp of Cayenne PepperIn addition - you are allowed to have an herbal mint tea. That is a nice snack in the afternoon, but I also mixed a little mint tea with my lemonade to help the taste. And, I drank my lemonade warm, like a hot tea.
I did not really experience any problems... However, there were definitely some side effects when I first started, headaches, tired, etc. But nothing that did not go away after the first couple of days - nothing unbearable. I still went to yoga.... And I did drink the laxative teas - I never did the salt water flush - because I was never in a position to be at home for that long of a period. But I would generally have a lax tea in the evening and then one again in the morning - just to help move things out. But it was not like I lived in the bathroom!
Source of Ingredients
- Lemons - bought the bag at Sam's - Good size lemons with lots of juice and inexpensive
- Organic Grade B Maple Syrup - http://store.valuenutrition.com/masy64flozor.html Buy in Bulk!!! 12oz at the Grocery Store is around $10
- Water - Duh!!! I would actually bring home good water from work in liter bottles! I am a thief!
- Cayenne Pepper - Nothing special there - Spicy!!!
- Laxative Tea - Yogi Tea Get Regular - I got it at a whole foods store.
Okay - let me know if I answered all of your questions!!! You can also go by a book store to pick up the book. I got it at Borders - The Master Cleanse - for $6.95!
I would make a pitcher every day - and that was pretty much all I needed. But you can have anywhere from 6-12 glasses a day, so really up to 2 pitchers if you wanted. I looked it up and basically each glass of lemonade has 100 calories.

Cleansing is not for everyone. It should always be done with care. If you have any health issues you should consult your physician. |

It is actually quite healthy, but yes, it is not for everyone. The ingredients are designed to provide all the vitamins and minerals your body requires, which is why you use Grade B maple, and not Grade A. The Grade B is full of more of these nutrients.
I didn't experience any headaches, and had tons of energy when I did this. The salt-water flush seemed like a necessary part of the process, however, since the point of the cleanse is to clear out the colon and the intestines, and the salt-water does this most effectively. After the third or fourth day, it started to get more difficult for me to get the salt-water down (a quart, or four cups), but the benefits were obvious. I've found that when people use this as a weight-loss aid, however, it tends to back-fire. Your body will lose weight, but when you go off it, your body wants to return to a healthy weight, and since your metabolism has slowed slightly, you tend to gain back most of what you lost when you begin to eat food again. I will do this again. |
