I heard about The Master Cleanse by Stanley Burroughs through several health articles over the past year, which resulted in me researching it further. It has recently become popular among celebrities such as Beyonce Knowles, Oprah Winfrey, Demi Moore, and Ashton Kutcher (just to name a few.)
After reading up on the cleanse, developed in the 1940s to help rid stomach ulcers, the benefits out weighed the 10 day liquid day, so I decided to try it. (Benefits including a full body cleanse, high amounts of energy, better health, skin improvements, and lose unwanted fat. Plus, more!) The cleanse is based on Jesus' 40 day fast and can be completed in 10, 21, or 40 day increments. It entails drinking a "lemonade" mix which includes 2 tablespoons of organic lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of grade B maple syrup, 1/10 teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper, and 10 ounces of water. You drink this mixture 6 to 12 times a day, with no solid foods. Sound tough?!
I have spent a great deal of the summer trying to convince a few friends to undergo the cleanse with me... it took ALL summer! Just last week at the beach with my family, I finally convinced Bethany, Daddy, and Justin that it was worth trying. We will all be recording our experiences on this blog. So if you think we are crazy now, keep reading... I'm sure it's going to be an experience worth reading/hearing about.
