THE MASTER CLEANSE

who deemed worthy to dub thee?

when googled this is the first site to come up.......

The Master Cleanse is such a simple program. First, squeeze Fresh Lemon Juice, then add Rich Maple Syrup, and Cayenne Pepper into Pure Water. Drink a minimum of six to twelve glasses throughout the day whenever one is hungry. Take a laxative, morning and evening; or instead of the morning laxative, you can do the Salt Water Flush. Every day of The Master Cleanse that you overcome the psychological need to eat, you feel a growing sense of control that motivates you to complete the process. The Master Cleanse is by far my favorite of the Detox Diet Recipes.

The Master Cleanse

was originally developed in 1940

as a stomach ulcer cure

by alternative health practitioner

Stanley Burroughs (1903-1991)

Most medical authorities don’t believe that a few days of fasting will harm you

(and the Master Cleanse is more of a low-calorie, nutrient deficient diet than a fast)

BUT longer periods will begin to deplete muscle, and your heart is among the muscles that will suffer — not a good thing. In addition, longer fasts can damage your kidneys and liver.

Master Cleanse Diet Pros

Withholding normal food (and junk) intake takes a burden off the liver, colon and kidneys. Of course, you will feel better by stopping consumption of alcohol, junk food, coffee and tobacco.

Additionally, not eating conventionally raised meats, eggs and dairy eliminates artificial hormones, antibiotics, mycotoxins from grains fed to these animals, and other poisons lightens toxic burden on the body. Ceasing to eat vegetables and fruits heavily sprayed with insecticides removes another big source of toxins.

Some people feel better on this detox program simply because they have stopped putting poisons in their bodies!

Do the dangers ultimately outweigh the benefits..?

Master Cleanse Diet Cons

Depletion of lean muscle mass by protein deprivation. Fasting is voluntary starvation, with all the bodily depletion and breakdown associated with that unhappy state of affairs.

Lean muscle mass is broken down to supply energy. This is a survival mechanism that would keep you alive and marginally maintain body function if you could not get food for a period of time.

Continual consumption of pure sugar. Constant consumption of maple syrup has several dangers.

Sugar eaten in the absence of sufficient protein, vitamin and mineral consumption will STEAL these elements from your body (because they are used to metabolize the sugar)!

Two, sugar raises triglycerides in the blood.

Three, sugar demineralizes bones and teeth. The minute amount of minerals in Grade B maple syrup can't possibly offset the deleterious effect of all the sugar.

Last, but certainly not least, sugar fosters the growth of fungal forms such as candida yeast.

Can Play Havoc With Thyroid Function!

This is because food deprivation causes the thyroid to slow down in an effort to save energy.

Too many people are already hypothyroid (low thyroid), lacking energy and the metabolic fire to burn calories!

Pile a starvation diet on top of that, and voila! you lower thyroid function even more. When normal eating is resumed, the pounds pile on even faster because the body's metabolism is set too low to burn a normal amount of calories. This is how yo-yo dieting (including periodic voluntary starvation!) accomplishes the exact opposite of its weight loss and cleansing objective!

THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY CONCERN WITH THE CLEANSE

EVEN AFTER HEARING GREAT THINGS ABOUT IT

OUR MAIN CONCERNS SHOULD BE TO BALANCE OUT BLOOD SUGAR

WITH FOOD

WHILE INCREASING OUR METABOLISM

I GET THAT THE SYRUP & LEMON BLAH BLAH HANDEL THAT

BUT WHAT ARE YOU BURNING WHEN THE SUGAR IS GONE

YOU ARENT BURNING FAT? YOU WOULD BE BURNING MUSCLE

JUST PLEASE BE CAREFUL

IF YOU EVER ATTEMPT SOMETHING LIKE THIS

YOU HAVE TO GO BY THE BOOK

START

FOLLOW THROUGH

AND COME OFF IT PROPERLY

OR IT CAN DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD
