Continued from Part 2 of The Master Cleanse as a Colon Cleanse…

Here is how to do the Master Cleanse. For each glass of Master Cleanse, you will need a tumbler that can hold at least 10 fluid oz, 10 oz spring water, fresh lime or lemon, genuine maple syrup and cayenne pepper…and a spoon for measuring and stirring.

Pour 2 tablespoons of genuine maple syrup and the freshly squeezed juice of half a lime or lemon into a tumbler.

Add a good pinch of cayenne pepper (whatever suits your taste).

Stir vigorously then pour in half a pint (500ml approx) of spring water (hot or cold).

You can either sip this constantly throughout the day, like drip feed, or gulp it down in one go at least six and up to twelve times a day. (Total consumption = 3 – 6 liters per day)

While following this strict but effective regimen your body may begin to give off odours as it detoxifies. As an antidote to this, some people include fresh mint tea as part of their fluid uptake to help neutralize, naturally, some of those odours.

This amazing drink can sustain you for the full 10 days of the cleanse as all the essential minerals and vitamins are present, so for this relatively short period of time your nutrition is not compromised – perhaps only your hunger, but it’s worth it.

With such a low calorie intake over this period, it’s advisable that you undergo this procedure when there are no severe physical demands on your body, as energy levels will be depleted. So it might worth pencilling it in on your calendar for when work is slow or you are taking vacation days.

You will have effected major change to your body during the colon Master Cleanse and you must return gently and gradually to more usual eating patterns. Once the ten days are over move on to including orange juice as one of your fluids for the next two days. After this, re-introduce solid food in the form of fruit and vegetables for another few days then the process is complete and you can return to your normal diet again, hopefully with wiser and more informed choice. Apart from reaping the benefits of a clean colon by using Master Cleanse you will also have learned to practice self-discipline and heighten body awareness.
