Jill answers:

You’re confused about homeopathy.
However, for a colon cleanse that’s cheap, buy a herbal tea called Smooth Move and make the tea with 5 bags instead of one. Cost is under $5.

Its often heralded as a great diet aid to drop pounds fast… Supposedly beyonce drank it to lose 20 for the movie dreamgirls.. In any event theres a few different recipes for it.. This one i found is called the lemon cleanse.. Also included is a salt water flush and instructions on how to come off the lemonade fast as well.. Enjoy!

* 2 tablespoons FRESH squeezed lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)
* 2 tablespoons genuine organic maple syrup, Grade B (the darker the better)*
* 1/10 teaspoon (a small pinch!) cayenne pepper, gradually increase (the more
BTUs the better)
* 300 – 500 ccm (10-14 oz) pure water

In a 300ccm (10-ounce) glass (to allow for 227ccm and mixing room): 2 tablespoons fresh (and organic, if possible) lemon or lime juice (absolutely no canned or frozen juice). 2 tablespoons real (and organic, if possible) grade B or C maple syrup. (Don’t use Grade A maple syrup or maple-flavored syrup. They are over-refined, which means that they are mostly refined sugars and lack essential minerals.) A small pinch of cayenne pepper (to taste). Spring or purified water, between room temperature and medium hot (but not cold) – fill to 1/4 liter (8 oz). Mix all the ingredients by thoroughly stirring or shaking, and drink. Or, in two 1 liter bottles: Juice of 3 lemons, divided equally between the two bottles (about 85ccm or 3 oz per bottle) An equal quantity of grade B or C maple syrup in each bottle (about 85 ccm or 3 oz per bottle) A pinch of cayenne in each bottle Spring or purified water (fill bottles to the top) Mix all the ingredients by thoroughly shaking; then drink throughout the day. Use fresh lemons or limes only, never canned or frozen lemon juice. Use organic and vine ripened when possible. Also, mix your lemonade fresh just before drinking. Don’t mix it up in the morning for the whole day. You can, however, squeeze your lemons in the morning and measure out the 2 tablespoons when needed.

Jill answers:

The juice of one lemon mixed into a glass of water….in the morning, first thing when you wake up..do it for a month or so and see how you feel~good for your liver, too~!

Hi Mae

THe answers on this website really show how ignorant we are in cleaning the toxins out of the body. The average american has one bowel movement every 2 days and almost everywhere else in the world is 30 minutes after eating! If toxins are sitting in the colon where are they suppose to go if you dont have regular movements ? They get in the blood and that is main reason we get illness and disease. We Americans eat so much food that is processed and has all types of chemicals in them. It’s no wonder we lead the world in the most types of diseases known.

To answer your question; the process is to get herbs (or colonics) that help give a person regular bowel movements and cleans out the colon. You can do this effectively with a 5-10 day cleanse by eating organic fruits and vegetables (better yet juicing them) and using herbs to help clear the toxins. (herbdoc.com has a good program)

Who makes money if we are all ignorant and have health issues (drug companies of course)? If we educate everyone to have 4-5 colon cleanses a year our nation would have most of our freedom back. Health freedom anyway.

Best of health to you

Hi Tina

If it says in the plan Grade A then that’s what it means and you’re going to have to get the right grade even if it does cost you.

I’ll be honest with you and say that I don’t believe in these very restricted detox methods as it’s not a natural way for your body to work. I like to go for a more general plan and look for a program which is more natural and involves many natural foods and agents.

There are many good programs online which cost very little and because they have a plan they are relatively easy to stick to – just my opinion. Good luck!

Jill answers:

Well is there anyone forcing you to eat it? – it’s a strange diet that forces people to eat syrup.

I’d say that you should go out and buy a jar of brown rice maple syrup, and put your mistake behind you.

Jill answers:

I imagine it would give you terrible diarrhea.

Jill answers:

No, you will not likely lose weight because your body will go into starvation mode from too few calories. It’s unnecessary to do any of that. Eating fruits and veggies, whole grains, lean protein, and making sure to drink enough water (8 ounces 8 times a day is too much, you get some of that through food anyway). Exercise is the best way to “detox” I think. You condition your body and you sweat! I always feel better after a good sweat.

Jill answers:

I assume you’re talking about the MasterClense diet? The Lemon Juice, Cayenne Pepper and maple syrup mixture that you drink throughout the day?

Then there is the part where you down a bunch of salt water and you have a giant bowel movement within 30 minutes.

I did it. It wasn’t hard or awful. But after the 5th day you start to shake. I lost 4lbs, did NOT keep it off, and here are the things they don’t tell you about this fast (or, if you’re determined to still do it, what you should expect).

1. The juice isnt awful. But it contains nothing good for your body to actually stimlate any clense. You’re better off doing a juice clense because it contains more vitamins your body will need to function properly (hence, the weakness and shakes that start to happen around day 5).

2. The salt water chugging will only make you sh*t if you dont puke first. Its so awful. By day two you will want to cry just thinking about it.

3. The weight you lose is from being improperly hydrated, i.e.: water weight. And you will not keep it off, no matter who you are. Its a crash diet meant to make you look good for a few nights, so unless you’re going to the oscars, its pretty much torture on your body.
good luck. But again, I think it was the biggest waste of time ever. I was only able to do it for 8 days. I honestly think i could have kept going longer with the juice, but the salt water chug brought me to tears. Its completely psychologically torturous. You will actually argue with yourself to keep going on.

Jill answers:

Absolutely! Eat more fiber.
No, it doesn’t have to be one of those nasty powders or expensive concoctions… Just eat more fruits, veggies, crackers, chips, cereal, pastas, breads, grains, etc. Sending more fiber through your digestive tract is basically what those expensive products do… They just use specific fibers.
It’s also a good idea to supplement with probiotics to help you keep regular and replenish anything that may have been pushed out. Good luck!

[edit]: Oh, and Castor Oil is NOT good to take internally unless it’s an emergency. It’s generally recommended for external use only because the BM that it forces is literally your body trying to purge it out because it doesn’t want it in there… That’s not healthy.

Jill answers:

The biggest effect of colon cleansing is on your wallet. They’re expensive, and they don’t do anything your body doesn’t already do.

If you want a healthy colon, eat a diet high in fiber and drink your recommended amount of water.

Jill answers:

I loved this. Don’t ask me why, but somehow I developed a taste for the stuff. Strange but true. I get a lot of strange looks, but I don’t care. It’s the lemonade diet. It works. You take water, real lemons, grade (a? B? Can’t remember but I’ll get you the link in a minute) maple syrup and cayenne pepper. You do some other stuff too. It sounds awful but it’s not. Here’s the link.

Do your research first, though. This may not be the best option for you. Explore your options and think before you start messing around with any diet. Consult your physician, too, just in case.

Jill answers:

A high-fiber diet is the most widely used remedy for colon and stool problems. Drinking plenty of water and exercising regularly also helps a lot.

While many people want to use laxatives, some would rather settle for natural-based medications to avoid digestive irritation and other side effects. You might want to take a look at this colon fix I’ve seen:

Jill answers:

It’s known as the Master Cleanse diet. I would avoid it if I were you though. That “lemonade” is all you’re allowed to consume for 2 weeks. Obviously you’re going to lose weight–you’re starving yourself! But you’ll gain it all back the second you quit the diet. Why not just try normal diet and exercise?

Http://mastercleansesecrets.com/step3.php

that link has the recipe if you’re still interested.

Jill answers:

It is extremely dangerous, but yes it does work. It is actually water, lemon, honey, and cayenne pepper (helps with hunger pains). You are supposed to drink so many liters a day which causes you to go to the bathroom all the time. I did it for 4 days and lost 8lbs which was mostly water weight. Because i didn’t watch what i was eating, afterwards i gained back 4lbs. My suggestion would be to cut back on what you are eating now (eat 500 calories less than you normally would) and make sure you burn 500 calories a day exercising. You’ll burn between 1-2 pounds a week. Good Luck!

You sound spectacular. No need to lose anything, if so, only on waist

Jill answers:

Think veggy’s that’s about the only thing in a “raw” food diet, things like spinach, carrots, celery, fruit…ie no meat, pasta, or other “cooked” food.

Jill answers:

Rubbing your upper lip probably irritated, but perhaps you were dehydrated – you need to drink A LOT of water on the Master Cleanse. Also, after you handle the lemon and cayenne, wash you hands – those could easily irritate the skin.

The other thing is it could just be part of your body’s response to the cleanse – the cleanse causes your body to purge toxins and some times that can show up in breakouts and rashes.

Jill answers:

The master cleanse will get rid of all the toxins and waste in your body. My mom and aunt did it and my mom lost 12lbs and my aunt lost 19lbs. Really if you know that you had a diet of bad foods for awhile, then it will prob work. Once you do it though, it would be best to maintain a good diet with fruits and veggies. I have the recipe and can give it to you, if you want to try it, that way you dont have to waste your money on it.

Jill answers:

A loaf of bread or some dry rice would probably be fine.
