Basic Master Cleanse Info
I’d like to share some basic information on the Master Cleanse diet. You may have heard of this diet from family, friends or on television through it’s associated with celebrities. If you’ve sought out information on this topic and found MasterCleanseAnswers.com you came to the right place. The Master Cleanser diet, also known as the Lemonade Diet was created by the late Naturopath, Stanley Burroughs. Just in case you were wondering, Naturopath is a shortened name for Naturopathic Medicine or Natural Medicine. By consuming nothing but a lemonade solution for 10 days or more the body is cleansed of toxins created by improper diet which pretty much all of us is guilty of. There are many other benefits to the diet but the one most people are interested in is of course WEIGHT LOSS.
I don’t need to tell you that an improper diet is the cause of many of the physical problems we suffer from as a society today. Lets face it, foods just don’t carry the same amount of nutrition they did 50 years ago. To illustrate this point, imagine the earth as a big piggy bank we keep withdrawing from but never deposit into. After a while the earth just can’t produce the same quality fruits, vegetable, and grains for us or the animals to eat.
To make up for the lack of nutrients in natural foods and the build up of toxins produced from rotting processed foods lodged in our bodies, Stanley Burroughs invented the detox lemonade drink. Mr. Burroughs was not a Medical Doctor but did practice Naturopathic Medicine which basically means he believed that everything the body needs for health and wellness can be found in what the earth produces naturally.
Even though The Master Cleanse diet has been around for almost 60 years, it’s gained recent popularity from its being used by entertainers and celebrities to maintain good health. You can find the testimony of Robin Quivers, co-host of the Howerd Stern show, by Googling her name. And Beyoncé Knowles shared her positive experience with the diet on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
So what’s all the hoopla about you may be wondering? The purpose of the cleanse is to break up and flush out toxins, waste and congestion that builds up over time in your body.
Lets take a closer look at the Master Cleanse Lemonade and see how the cleanse works. The ingredients for the Master Cleanse drink are; Cayenne Pepper, Maple Syrup, Water, and of course Lemons. You are to drink 60 oz. of the cleanser per day for 10 days. During this 10 day period you can’t eat or drink anything else other than water, laxative tea, and a saltwater flush to help the elimination process. So you’re basically fasting from solid foods for 10+ days. No food coupled with the flushing of the cleanse eliminating the excess waste is what promotes weight loss. Because of the nature of the lemonade cleanse it is more appropriate to call it a fast and not a diet. Some of the other benefits to the cleanse are; increased energy, a stronger immune system, and stronger brain function, just to name a few.
So there you have the Master Cleanse in a nutshell. If you are thinking about trying the cleanse, do take into account any medical conditions you may have as you will be going without food for several days. The Master Cleanse is not a Weight Loss diet but a means to rid the body of waste and toxins. As long as you approach the cleanse with a clear understanding of it’s proper use, you should see some positive results.
