Master Cleanse

Okay so it is crazy, or sounds that way at first anyway, but I am doing the master cleanse. For those of you who don't know you eat nothing for 10 days, you have a lemonade mixture that you drink, you can have water and tea and that is it. I am hoping to make it 10 days, but we will see. The lemonade mixture is this

2 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice (not the concentrate in a bottle)
2 Tbsp real maple syrup (not the sugary fake stuff)
8 oz of purified water
1/10 tsp cayenne pepper (yes that is right I said cayenne pepper)

It really isn't too bad, but the longer it sits the hotter it gets. Don't get me wrong I would not just make me a glass cause I was thirsty, but if I have to do it it isn't too bad.

You should also take an herbal laxative in the morning, such as cascara sagrada, or a nature's sunshine blend called LBS II.

Then at night (this part is optional, and I can't decide what to do yet) you do a salt water flush, this is where you mix 2 tsp - 1 Tbsp of sea salt (not the iodized table salt) into 1 liter of water and drink it as quickly as possible. Then upon completing this you need to stay right near a toilet for the next hour or 2 cause your body will not digest this salt water and it will run right through your system and you will need to poop! They said in the one article not to fart as you will probably not just fart. (okay so this is kind of a gross topic) Anyhow, this is suposed to be wonderful for cleaning all the gunk out of your system, will help boost some weight loss, and also help with any digestive problems you may have previously had.

I will keep you posted throughout the week....
