The Master Cleanse Itself

Master Cleanse

2 tbsp lemon or lime juice (1/2 lemon)
1-2 tbsp of pure grade B maple syrup
1/10 tsp cayenne pepper (red) or to taste
8-10 oz of purified water (very warm to medium hot)

Combine the Master Cleanse ingredients and drink.

A minimum of 6 cups of the mixture should be drunk throughout the day (the more the better), coupled with as much H2O you feel is necessary.

Cayenne pepper may be difficult for some to down, so work your way up to the required amount.

Also, it is recommended you drink 1 serving of laxative tea each evening before bed - so as to flush out toxins in the morning and 1 serving of 'salt water flush' in the morning to synchronize with the cleanse. Peppermint tea can be drunk occassionally throughout the day. The laxative tea, salt water flush and peppermint tea can all be had from your local health store or online - see sidebar.

This cleanse should be carried out for at least 10 days. The more the better as 'rapid detox' usually occurs following this period. You may not want to go over 14days on your first detox however.
