If you haven't heard of the Master Cleanser, also known as the Lemonade Diet, it is a ten day cleansing and detoxification program developed by a man named Stanley Burroughs. Through the use of a simple concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper, you can rid your body of toxins and rebuild healthy tissue. It was originally created to treat stomach ulcers, but was found to help treat and cure many other health problems.

The recipe is quite easy. Every Master Cleanser drink consists of the following ingredients:

-2 tablespoons Organic Grade B Maple Syrup

-Juice from half a lemon or lime

-1/16 teaspoon cayenne pepper

-8oz water

Drink a minimum eight glasses of the Master Cleanser per day for ten full days. In addition, you should drink an herbal laxative tea each evening, as well as a drink every morning consisting of two teaspoons of non-iodized sea salt and a quart of warm water. These last two requirements may seem unpleasant, but they will help your body eliminate waste faster, thus making Master Cleanser far more effective.

Here are some simple tips for a great Master Cleanser experience:

Make the lemonade drink in a big batch every morning and keep it nearby at all times. If you try to make each drink individually throughout the day, you will have a much harder time sticking to the plan. Also, by keeping it nearby, you will have it ready in case you begin to feel weak or lightheaded (which may happen occasionally -- this is normal and part of the cleansing process!).

Rest as much as possible. Although you may feel extremely energetic due to the body not spending energy on digestion, it is important to rest so that your body can heal. It is encouraged to spend some of your cleansing time pampering yourself! Many people use vacation time so that they can stay at home during their Master Cleanser.

Stick to the laxative tea and salt water flush as much as possible. Although they can be unpleasant, they will help your body detoxify much faster.

Keep a journal. Document your progress every day. This will be helpful to look back at if you're going through a rough spot during the cleanse, and it will also be helpful to look back at how far you've come when you are done.

As obvious as it may seem, don't start chowing down when your cleanse is complete. You will definitely experience a lot of cravings when you are cleansing, but it's important to try to adhere to a healthy diet once completing the Master Cleanser. You have just cleansed your body of a lot of junk ? don't ruin it by feasting on every bad food you can get your hands on!

Using these tips, you should have great success with the Master Cleanser. Good luck!
