Master Cleanser / lemonade diet

January 24, 2005

Having done the Master Cleanser aka the lemonade diet several times I

wanted to share something.

First, I do like it because it really motivated me to move to a more

healing raw diet.

HOWEVER, my last experience taught me a great deal about health and

cleansing.

Prior to doing my last Master Cleanser I had several tests done, blood,

saliva & hair analysis.

They all revealed imbalances and deficiencies. Because I hoped to get

back to a more

healthful diet, I started another cleanse for the fall. What ended up

happening was that

my stresses, along with my deficiencies resulted in me overeating and

overeating improperly

after the master cleanse. My cravings were just over the top. My body

was telling me

before starting the cleanse that I needed rejuvenate NOT deplete, but

by simply drinking the

lemonade with no other nutrients, my reserves ran out.

It was a very good lesson. During my other cleanses I was moved to

eating only pure simple foods

afterwards. This time around, I was driven to all the wrong foods. My

hormones were already

imbalanced and this just made it worse.

My suggestion if you are considering do this or any cleanse, is to

prepare your body appropriately.

Make sure you are not too weak. I believe cleanses and fasts can truly

help a person heal, but

if done in a way that supports that person's particular constitution.

When the digestive system

is given time to rest, the energy is now moved to other areas of the

body to heal and repair.

Like I said, I had excellent results with previous master cleanses. It

is a very spiritual cleanse

as well.

Good luck, hope this give you some awareness.

peace & joy,

*Brigitte

Peace Brigitte,

I'm currntly doing the Master Cleanse and i'm on my 8th day. I absolutely feel great right now also. I've been inquiring to speak to any and everyone who has done the cleanse to learn from their experiences FOLLOWING the cleanse. Because while i do see the many benefits it has internally on the body, i Know that the most critical part of the cleanse is coming off of it. I don't want to just overfill my body with everything i was trying to get rid of. I wanna take better care of it.

So with that said, what kinds of foods were you giving your self that caused the problem for you>?? And which times when you did the cleanse did you not experience those problems.?? What is your diet like now.?? How did it change..??

What type of deficiencies came up when you were finished with the diet.??

I need to Know the simplest way to incorporate an all raw food diet, because it seems like it's a lot more complicated than it is. I do consume raw fruits and veggies, and i juice them often, but i want to be able to expand on that and get into making my own raw butter, cookies, cakes, muffins, bread, etc. using only raw, natural ingredients.

Any thoughts.??

Peace

Coming of the diet the right way is important. I've typed out the

following excerpt from the book because it seems some people on the

forum may be doing the diet without having benefit of all his

information. You can be " very " uncomfortable if you don't come off

of it slowly.

If you are trying to lose weight with this, don't do the diet again

right away - wait at least 3 months (6 is better). You can gain

weight back quickly if you're body hasn't had time to adjust.

Excerpt from: " The Master Cleanser " by Stanley Burroughs pg. 24

How to Break the Lemonade Diet

coming off the lemonade diet properly is highly important - please

follow the directions very carefully. After living in a semi-

tropical and tropical climate for many years, I find that people

have increasingly turned to a raw fruit, nut, and vegetable diet

Following is the schedule for poeple who normally follow such a

natural vegetarian diet:

First and Second Day after the diet:

Several 8 oz. glasses of fresh organge juice as desired during the

day. The orange juice prepares the digestive system to properly

digest and assimilate regular food. Drink it slowly. If there has

been any digestie difficulty prior to or during the change over,

extra water may be taken with the orange juice.

Third Day:

Orange juice in the morning. Raw fruit for lunch. Fruit or raw

vegetable salad at night. You are now ready to eat normally.

For those who have characteristically lived the unnatural way of

meat, milk, refined and devitalized food, it may be best to change

over as follows, gradually adopting the raw fruit, nut, and

vegetable diet.

First Day:

Several 8 oz glasses of fresh orange juice as desired during the

day. Drink it slowly.

Second Day:

Drink several 8 oz glasses of orange juice during the day - with

extra water, if needed. Some time during the afternoon prepare a

vegetable soup (no canned soup) as follows:

Recipe for Vegetable Soup:

Use several kinds of vegetables, perhaps one or two kinds of

legumes, potatoes, celery, carrots, green vegetable tops, onion,

etc. Dehydrafted vegetables or vegetable soup owders may be added

for etra flavor. Okra or okra powder, chili, curry, cayenne pepper,

tomatoes, green peppers, and zucchini squash may be included to good

advatnage. Brown rice may be used, but no meat or meat stock. Other

spices may be added (delicately) for flavor. Use salt deliately as a

liited amount of slat is necessary. learn to enjoy the natural

flavor of the vegetables. The less cooking the better.

Have this soup for the vening meal using the broth mostly, although

some of the vegetables may be eaten. rye wafers may be eaten

sparingly with the soup, but no bread or crackers.

Third Day:

Drink orange juice in the morning. At noon hae some more soup;

enough may be made the night before and put in the refrigerator. For

the evening meal eat whatever is desired in the form of vegetables,

salads, or fruit. No meat, fish, or eggs; no bread, pastries, tea,

coffee, or milk. Milk i hihgly mucos-forming and tends to develop

toxins throughout the body.

Fourth Day:

Normal eating may be resumed, but best health will be retained if

the norning meal consists of our type of lemonade or fruit juice;

and, of course, if a strictly fruit, vegetable, seed and berry diet

is followed. if, after eating is resume, distress or gas ocurs, it

is suggested that the lemonade diet be continued for several more

days until the system is ready for food.

Dear Natural Game,

My first suggestions is to be VERY gentle with yourself during this

time. Try

to avoid as much stress as possible and give yourself as much peace and

quiet time as possible if you are a tv watcher avoid tv. If you live

in a city,

avoid driving. Walk, get out in nature, journal, meditate, dance, get

connected

with your body, etc... For me, all I wanted to do was put healing,

raw enzyme

rich foods into it. And in transition back to eating I chose to eat

small.

I prayed that I would be able to follow my inner wisdom and not be

compelled

to over eat even " healthy " foods. The time before my last MC was like

this.

Very peaceful, very serene, very nurturing. Because I was undergoing a

lot

of stress, stressful people, stressful situations, etc... I should not

have embarked

on another cleanse. I was just stripping myself rather than allowing

for a

rebuilding and healing.

The best way to return to eating is as they say in the book. A day or

two of

organic fresh squeezed orange juice. Then gentle raw foods, no nuts or

heavy

fats. I would even lay off of avocado in the beginning. If can think

about your

liver and digestive system a little, kind of picture the foods going in

and what

you can imagine would be the least stressful. I would also limit

intake of

fruits because you do not want to create a candida situation.

I recommend looking into 3 books

1) Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine by Gabriel Cousens -

It will give you a tremendous amount of knowledge and help you make

choices that will help your inner ecology and prevent any sort of

imbalance.

2) The Body Ecology Diet by Donna Gates-

Another great book to help you make choices to rejuvenate your inner

ecology.

3) David Jubb has a book that has slipped my memory but it to is a very

supportive book.

It wasn't what I was eating that caused my problem after the Master

Cleanse

it was that it wasn't the proper time or place for me to be doing a

cleanse.

My body wasn't strong enough and there was far too much stress around

me.

I didn't have a chance to be peaceful and allow the cleanse to help me

rejuvenate.

I am able to say that my experience was needed in order to give me

better

perspective and to offer others the knowledge and wisdom I gained.

I am learning the importance of balance.

Prior to embarking on the MC I was raw vegan, but I was consuming too

many things that I knew were not agreeing with my system. Too many nut

products and too many fats. My body needs simpler foods and very

little sugar. A raw diet is

very difficult for me because where I live, there are TONS of prepared

raw foods and treats. When I was on the road with my dogs last spring

after my second to

last master cleanse. I had peace with foods and was eating very simply

because

my choices were limited. Having an abundance of " fancy " raw foods just

creates

havoc because often they are combined improperly, contain too many

nuts, or

are just too sweet.

After I did the MC last time in the fall, I needed to practice balance,

but wasn't able to at the time. Now I have much more support in my

life and am very much working towards better health and higher

consciousness.

I have also had to alter my diet quite a bit because I needed to eat

high protein

low glycemic foods. I have to stay away from any foods and herbs that

have

estrogenic qualities because I am estrogen dominant. This makes my food

choices even more limited. I reluctantly had to start eating animal

products

and had to make peace with that, but ever since I have been feeling much

better. My body just needed this kind of protein and i was unable to

consume soy because of it estrogenic effects.

Balance. Pray for balance. Read Gabriel Cousens' book. Be gentle.

Make honest food choices and seek support if you need to.

Curezone,com has a lot of message boards and a lot of activity in their

Master Cleanse section. BUT PLEASE (AND THIS IS DIRECTED TO

EVERYONE) DO NOT JUST JUMP INTO SOMETHING BECAUSE IT

SOUNDS GOOD, MAKE SURE YOUR BODY AND MIND ARE ABLE TO

EMBRACE HEALINGS HEALTHFULLY AND NOT OBSESSIVELY

BECAUSE YOU CAN CREATE SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND IMBALANCES

FOR YOURSELF LANDING YOU IN A WORSE PLACE THEN WHEN YOU STARTED.

The reason I keep bringing up Gabriel Cousens' book is because there

is a lot of excellent information and guidance on rebuilding and

cleansing without having to fast. Donna's book is great for rebuilding

and cleansing too.

Good luck

peace & joy,

*Brigitte
