The Lemonade-Master Cleanse

I would suggest this Cleanse at least twice a year for everyone! This was originally called the Master Cleanse, created by Stanley Boroughs. It is a method of fasting with a lemonade drink taken every hour, for 8 hours. Fasting is the oldest recorded “diet” program, dating back more than 2500 years. There is great detoxification, matter of fact, some would say that only during a fast does the body detoxify fully. It takes at least 10 days to reach the deeper tissues of the body. 10 days of no food is a long time for many, and it could be life threatening for someone who is diabetic or very hyperglycemic (get shaky when you don’t eat regularly). Using the ingredients in the Lemonade Fast supplies minerals and sugars so the body does not have those blood sugar reactions. 

The Lemonade Cleanse is one of the most effective total-body cleansing programs available. It is simple, inexpensive and provides you the energy to continue your daily tasks. It is true you are not eating, and the concept of that is hard for some people, but most people report that by day 3 they have more energy than they had when they were eating! Amazing!

The Lemonade Cleanse Summary

After this evening, you will stop eating (fast) for the length of your cleanse. Starting tomorrow, you will fill a glass with 8-10 ounces (250 - 300 milliliters of water) of good, pure water and add the following to your water. You will repeat this every hour for 10 days.

- ADD 1/10 of a teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper, organic if you can, at least 30,000 HU

- ADD 2 Tablespoons of Grade B Maple Syrup

- ADD 1/2 of a freshly squeezed lemon

- Each evening you will need a cup of laxative tea, which you can get at some grocery stores, most health food stores. Click here to order your kit.

- Beginning the second morning of your fast, and every morning thereafter, you will need 30 ounces (about 900 milliliters )of water with 2 (two) teaspoons of sea salt in it. NOT table salt, but sea salt. Drink it down in 15 minutes or less if you can. This is imperative to help flush the toxins that the body is releasing during the fast. Any detox symptoms you might get from fasting, like rash, irritable, headache, etc, is generally relieved with the morning salt water. IF you cannot drink the salt water, do another cup of the laxative tea in the morning unless you already have diarrhea.

That’s it! Eat nothing, and take no supplements during your fast (but continue any medications you are supposed to be on).

How many days should I fast?

The original Master Cleanse was a 10-day fast. Calm down…most people have a hard time doing that many days on a first fast. You don’t have to commit to that long. BUT, if you can make it to day 4, you won’t be hungry any more and it is a piece of cake after that. A one, two, even three day fast does not produce therapeutic results, meaning your body will get a little something from it, but nothing spectacular.  It takes a certain amount of days for the body to cleanse enough that it begins to release the deep toxins that cause disease. For some it will be day 7, but for most of the people who are not eating a diet that is primarily raw foods, it generally takes the full 10 days. But work up to it if you must. Do a couple days here and there until you find you can make it all the way to day 10. Remember, if you can get to day 4, you should be home free, the rest is easy.

How To Break A Fast

The greatest benefit may be lost, followed by harmful after effects, if the fast is not broken in the right way. George Bernard Shaw said, “Any fool can fast, but it takes a wise man to break a fast properly.” In fact, the best effects of a fast depend upon the dietetic management after it is broken. The longer the fast, the more care must be taken in breaking it. Raw fruit and vegetables should be the ONLY foods eaten for the three days following your 10-day fast. If you need something more, a boiled or baked potato (plain -without butter) can be introduced on the second and third day. The greatest danger lies in eating too frequently and too much at a time after a fast. After a long fast the digestive organs are in a condition of complete inactivity, and to overload them suddenly with a large amount of food may provoke acute attacks of indigestion and produce many other kinds of serious disturbances. The organs must be trained to return to normal activity gradually, beginning with very small quantities of light food. Remember, if you made it to day 10, you will not be starving, so this part is not difficult.

5 Steps to Wellness - Step 5 (Detoxification

While the previous steps of the 5 Steps to Wellness Series set the stage for wellness, the human body is currently exposed to a variety of toxins with which it was not designed to deal. These toxin categories accumulate in the body and eventually reach levels that cause all of today’s pain, sickness and disease. 

Toxin categories include: 

- chemical toxins

- food origin toxins

- environmental toxins

- cosmetic toxins

- medication/narcotic toxins

- metal toxins, injected toxins

- pathogens, arthropod toxins

- structural/surgical toxins

- electromagnetic toxins

- emotional toxins, and 

- inherited toxins. 

If you have any health challenges, or desire to maintain health, the toxin accumulation must be identified and eliminated. This is one of the most important facets to overcoming disease.

Elimination of these toxins is what allows the body to achieve its God-given miracle to heal. When the toxins are removed, the body is able to make new healthy cells rather than the same diseased duplicates. Think of it in terms of a wound with a splinter. You can take pain pills, antibiotics or even natural supplements every day, but if you don’t remove the splinter from the wound, the body will not be able to heal. 

Cleansing of toxins is THE KEY to maintaining or achieving health and wellness.

Keep in mind that the cleansing methods described in Step #4 can be done at home. They are designed to eliminate general toxic waste, poisons and toxins from the body. Many of the cleanses listed have done absolute miracles for many. Some toxins, like vaccine origin toxins, may be too specific for general cleansing methods to eliminate. We encourage you to do any of the cleansing described in Step#4.

Now, there you have it! You 5 steps to wellness. You can start reducing the amount of toxins that enter your body. But always remember that no matter how wonderful your diet and lifestyle has been or is now, there is no way to avoid all the toxins that are constantly being exposed to the body. No matter how sheltered or sterilized your living habits are, there is no way of avoiding all the toxins that eventually create the diseases that claim so many lives. If you are mindful of the choices you make each day, incorporate a moderately healthy diet and lifestyle and follow the 5-steps, you can attain and maintain great health. Begin your journey today, and live long enough to fulfill your destiny!

5 Steps to Wellness - Step 4 (Cleansing)

                           Did you know that your exterior is a mirror of your interior? 
    The cleaner you are on the inside, the outside will reflect it in beauty and radiance.

Everything in life requires cleaning. Your vehicle, your house, your desk and the outside of your body. Most people shower every day to avoid appearing and smelling unattractive or unclean, but how many have ever considered cleaning the inside of the body? A person with an office job might not get visibly "dirty" during a days work, but they still tend to shower every day because skin cells die every day. 

If you have read any of the information on this blog you know that animal products, refined products and nutritionally void products are at best of little use, at worst harmful. If you had useless or harmful things in your car, your house or your desk, would you dispose of them? Sure you would. Most of this junk food comes in pretty packages filled with chemicals that make them taste the way we want them to, but that doesn't make them good for the body. The fact is, the body considers them waste, or junk and it needs to get rid of it. If the body cannot eliminate the accumulated waste, the waste slowly moves into organs of the body and create dysfunction and finally disease. In addition, this waste creates a perfect host for the toxins discussed in Step #5.

One of the ways our recommended weight loss supplement, Skinny Fiber, helps you is by absorbing the poisons and toxins that have accumulated in the body (especially the intestines) and eliminate them through bowel movements This doesn't mean diarrhea. When you have normal bowel movement, the toxins get eliminated). Enemas and colonic are good but they cleanse the lower end of the intestine, not the entire part. 

It is impossible to achieve health of any kind if the body is full of old waste material. Don't settle for bathing the exterior of the body alone, cleanse the inside as well. You will feel cleaner, happier, healthier and people will begin to notice that you generally look better (not to mention the amount of weight that is lost by moving pounds of old sludge out of the intestines).

The different kinds of cleansing that can be done at home include:

• Liver/Gallstone Cleanse
• Kidney Cleanse
• The Lemonade Master Cleanse
• Oil Pulling Therapy
• Enemas
• Colon Clease w/ Water Flush
• Colemas (home colonics)
• Fasting
• Additional Cleansing Therapies
