Master Cleanser Recipe #79145
This is a lemonade-based fast prescribed for detoxification and weight loss. I found it when I was looking to detox my body. It was presented to me by a highly regarded holistic nurse, Sandra Duggan, who is one of the co-founders of the Cayce-Reilly School of Massotherapy at the ARE. According to the book she gave me, this is a healthy way to fast because between the lemons and the maple syrup you get all the micronutrients you need to sustain the body. Grade B syrup has higher contents of those macronutrients so use it if you can find it. Also, organic lemons are best. You can leave out the cayenne if you are spice-averse; its role is to help break up toxic deposits within the body. The citrus can do that as well; the cayenne just helps it go faster. It would be well to get a colonic during the time of your fast in order to aid along the detox/weight loss process. I used the fast for 2 days and lost 10 lbs that week (though weight loss was not my goal). Use this fast with spiritual goals in mind and you can achieve great results.
7 min | 5 min prep
SERVES 1
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice (1/2 lemon)
- 2 tablespoons of pure grade b maple syrup or a maple syrup
- 1-2 pinch cayenne pepper, to taste (red)
- 12 ounces of purified water (very warm)
- Cut up some (preferably organic) lemons or limes.
- Heat up your water (I just zap it in the microwave for 90 seconds).
- Squeeze lemon/lime juice into the warm water (try to avoid getting seeds in your water-- I use a tea filter).
- Sprinkle a little cayenne powder in and stir in your maple syrup.
- Drink this several times a day when you get hungry or thirsty (ok to alternate with pure water but not much else).
- Use this as an exclusive food for 2-30 days, as you deem appropriate.
