it supposedly removes built up toxins and cleanses out the system. the main purpose of the cayenne pepper is that it scrapes the intestinal walls removing built up mucus and other... um... crap. taken from http://www.home-remedies-for-you.com/articles/290/diet/master-cleanser-lemonade-diet.html: - The Master Cleanser helps dissolve and eliminate toxins and congestion that have formed in any part of the body - The Master Cleanser also helps cleanse the kidneys and the digestive system in totality. - The Master Cleanser helps purify the glands and cells throughout the entire body. - The Master Cleanser helps eliminate unusable waste and hardened material in the joints and muscles - The Master Cleanser helps build a healthy blood stream - The Master Cleanser helps relieve pressure and irritation in the nerves, arteries and blood vessels. - The Master Cleanser helps preserve youth and vitality regardless of age. - The Master Cleanser helps restore healthy skin as the rest of the body is cleansed. Boils, abscesses, carbuncles, and pimples may all disappear by adhering to the diet. - The Master Cleanser does away with all mucus diseases such as colds, flu, asthma, hay fever, sinus and bronchial troubles as they are rapidly dissolved and eliminated from the body, leaving the system free from allergies which may cause difficult breathing and clogging of the sinus cavities. bear in mind i'm not buying into this as a cure-all for everything that ails you. but i have to assume that as i'm putting only a handful of (pure) ingredients into my body every day that there has to be some level of cleansing/detoxification going on in addition to the weight loss. > > > > > On Feb 11, 2008 11:13 AM, Charlie Griefer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > a while back there was a thread where the master cleanse diet came up. it's > > a detoxification diet moreso than a weight loss diet (but weight loss is a > > nice side benefit). > > > > to recap: you don't eat any solid foods. you only drink a mixture of > > water, fresh squeezed lemons, grade b maple syrup (available at trader joe's > > or whole foods type stores) and cayenne pepper. you can also drink as much > > water as you want :) > > > > in a week and a half, i have a physical for life insurance coming up. > > trying to get my weight down to get some better premiums. started the > > "cleanse" 5 days ago. dropped 9.5 lbs so far. > > > > i'm shooting for a full 14 days. gonna break the fast on thursday feb 21 > > (which means i get to drink orange juice)... then on friday feb 22 i can > > have some vegetable soup. saturday is the physical... then saturday night > > i'm going out to dinner :) > > > > my progress so far: > > http://charlie.griefer.com/nofood.cfm > > > > -- > > Evelyn the dog, having undergone further modification pondered the > > significance of short-person behaviour in pedal depressed, pan-chromatic > > resonance, and other highly ambient domains.
