My AWESOME Detox Experience

I decided to do an 8 day body detox using the MASTER CLEANSE formula.

Lemonade Mix (makes one serving):
2 tablespoons of ORGANIC fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons of GRADE B maple syrup
1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
8 to 10 oz of water.
Drink at least 6 servings a day (max 12 servings)

Morning Salt Water Flush: 4 cups of water & 2 teaspoons of sea salt
At night: Laxative tea or colon cleanse pills.

I’d heard about various celebrities doing the Master Cleanse before (ex Beyonce for her role in Dreamgirls) and I’d always thought it was just a quick fix to lose weight. I mean come on...lemons, maple syrup and cayenne pepper? It sounded to me like starvation to maintain their skinny celebrity bodies! Well a friend of mine on Facebook recently decided to do the Master Cleanse and tracked his progress in his status updates. This piqued my interest after a few days as I could see that he wasn’t about to die of lack of nourishment lol...matter of fact he felt energetic! So I probed him with a few questions, watched a few youtube links about the cleanse...even purchased a Master Cleanse book to understand more of what I’d be doing, why it’s important to cleanse, why the ingredients were chosen and the benefits.
