The Master Cleanser: The Lemonade Diet

The Lemonade Diet

I recently discovered information about something called "The Master Cleanser." A friend of mine explained to me he had seen an episode of Oprah with guest star Beyonce Knowles discussing the master cleanser and her experience with it. She needed to lose weight quickly for a movie role and this was how she did it. I was very intrigued so I did some research on the Internet and was shocked by how much information I found.

The book "The Master Cleanser " by Stanley Burroughs walks you through the steps of the cleanse and gives you excess information on other health issues. It has been in use since the 1940's. It is not for weight-loss, it is a cleansing of the internal body and one of the effects is weight-loss. The basic routine is a laxative tea before bedtime, a 32 oz salt water flush as soon as you wake up, and 6-12 glasses of what the book calls the lemonade through-out the day. Nothing else is consumed during the cleanse which is a ten day period. Thats right no food so it is pretty much considered a fast. The lemonade has 4 ingredients which are: water, organic lemon juice ( limes are also allowed. They taste much better but are very hard to find ), organic maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. The lemonade is used to break-up the toxins in your body and the laxative tea and salt water flush are used to flush the toxins out. After much research I decided to try it.

I ordered a master cleanser kit on-line from humblebeehealth.com. The Kit came with organic grade B maple syrup, cayenne pepper capsules ( comes in capsule form for those like myself who can't stomach anything that spicy ), Smooth Move herbal stimulant laxative tea, natural sea salt, and of course the book. I had to purchase the organic lemons at a local supermarket. I also had to get a juicer to juice the lemons. Mine cost me $30.00 but some are double the price depending on the quality. I received my supplies ten days later and I started right away.
