Instructions

The Master Cleanse Detox

• 1

  Eat only raw fruits and vegetables for one to three days prior to starting the Master Cleanse. This is sometimes referred to as an "ease-in" and it helps to reduce painful headaches, chills and nausea that can result from a total body detoxification.

• 2

  Prepare the Master Cleanse lemonade by mixing:

  2 tbs. freshly squeezed lemon juice

  2 tbs. maple syrup

  8 oz. water

  1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (or to taste)

• 3

  Drink only the Master Cleanse lemonade for up to 10 days. The plan allows for you to drink 6 to 12 glasses per day.

• 4

  Incorporate a salt water flush for laxative effect.

  Thoroughly blend 1 liter of water with 1 to 2 tbs. non-iodized salt, and drink the mixture. Salt water is a natural laxative and will help the body expel any solids that have gathered in the large intestine.

• 5

  "Ease-out" of the Master Cleanse by consuming fresh fruits and vegetables for one to three days after the strict lemonade phase.
