I am on Day Seven of the Master Cleanse. It is arguably one of the world's most famous cleansing programs. The Master Cleanse was created by Stanley Burroughs in 1941. Author of "Healing for the Age of Enlightenment" and "The Master Cleanse", Stanley was renowned for his research into the role of toxemias in disease. Stanley experimented with cleansing techniques and discovered that drinking a mixture of organic Maple syrup, Organic Lemon, distilled Water and cayenne pepper throughout a ten day period would clean all of the systems of the body and detoxify the body.
Throughout the cleanse, the water nourishes the cells and keeps the body hydrated while the vitamin-rich lemons help to loosen and break up mucus in the body. Grade B Maple Syrup is one of the most balanced of all sugars- it keeps sugar levels balanced to avoid unnecessary spikes in hunger or extreme lows in energy levels. Finally, cayenne pepper is a blood vessel dilator, thermal warmer, and valuable source of vitamin A.
Stanley believed that toxicity was the main reason for disease and the root of many of the problems that our bodies experience. Over the last thirty years, people all around the world have taken part in this fast and have cured themselves of everything from infertility, diabetes, back pain, ulcers, and more. While I am not claiming that this cleanse can heal everything, I firmly believe that the Cleanse can take you to a whole new level of living!
The idea of not eating anything for 10 days is scary. Immediately, you realize just how much time and energy you put into thinking about eating, getting the food, preparing the food, eating the food, cleaning up from eating and then eliminating the food. The body requires enormous amounts of energy to process food. How do you think you will feel when that energy is not being spent on food? At times, the energy can be overwhelming.
When people tell me "I could never do that" I say "That's right, you can't." You will do whatever your mind tells you that you can or cannot do. Understanding the power of the mind is what begins to elevate human beings. Maybe it's time to clean up and clean out your mind and body—it was for me.

It is amusing how the universe works.
I am on day 3 of major gastric pain and bloating which I am fairly sure was caused by food allergens that I unknowingly ingested (wheat is a big issue). I would not have thought of it on my own, but in reading your blog I realized that 10 days without eating sounds pretty darn good (and restful) right about now. I have flirted with the idea of the cleanse in the past, but perhaps now I should listen to my body and actually make the commitment. Hopefully, it will calm down my pesky immune system.
Thank you for reminding me of this process.
Jackueline sounds good--God works in mysterious ways--you can get the book on line or buy it in Wilmington Center for $6. If you need any help just reach out--I am here for you! Nama
Jen V suggested I try a cleanse, although, not sure if it was the Master Cleanse or not.
During the cleanse, are you still working out (running, lifting and yoga) as normal or do you have to adjust physical activity?
My only concern with the cleanse is low blood sugar low energy issues.
