IMPORTANT QUESTION!!! CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THIS?
A friend has asked me, “Can I still go on the 10-day Master Cleanse while IF I take medications daily for blood pressure (morning) and cholesterol (night)? Or should I do it for shorter periods?”
fools
you want to lose weight
stop eating ffor a while period youre like sheep followinh this guy as if he really thought this up been around for years
just use your head, dont eat. youll lose weight
doesnt take a rocket scientist to figur this out
Can I continue taking my one a day multi-vitamin while one the lemon cayenne pepper cleanse, or should I stop?
24 hours down! I started the MC yesterday and so far I’m doing fine. Not hungry yet…
Hi, I’m 13 and I’m starting the Master Cleans tommorow! I’m anorexic, and I could never find good tips until I found this!!!
I started TMC Sun. Oct. 21 It is the end of day 3! It’s been a great journey so far. The slight headaches are annoying but the hunger pains haven’t been too bad at all. The only rule I haven’t followed so far is the ease in process. I plan on following the ease out rules much better! I’ve done the SWF every morning so far and thinking about doing it at night as well. I’ve been really good about drinking a lot of water. I haven’t been keeping track but everytime I think about food or feel hungry I drink a glass or 2 of water. I could only afford a 64 oz. jug of Grade B maple syrup. The mix is so good I just keep drinking it and I’m afraid I’m going to run out before the 10 days are up. If I happen to run out should I use pure honey, molasses or just call it good and begin my ease out process?
hi,
i have recently started using ear magnets and found that they work great to control cravings and constant eating problems for me. i am doing the master cleanse with very little effort now. i used to try and fail, usually in the first 24 hours. now i have managed to stay on it with only a tiny bit of cheating for 6 days so far. just wanted to share that because it might be helpful to many people who have a hard time with cravings.
I was wondering if I needed to sip on the mixture all day, or if I can just chug one in the morning and one in the evening. I’m concerned about my teeth. With all the sugar it has in it I don’t want to be constantly sipping on it all day long, but I’m worried it won’t be as effective if i don’t.
Hello Everyone,
I’m was planning on starting the master cleanse diet in about a week. My husband and even myself are very sceptical about the whole process. I understand how important it is to do a cleanse. But NOT to eat for 10 days straight now that sounds very unhealthy. The thing that scares me the most is will I be able to do it? I’m not sure how I will be able to function without food after..2days? IDK if I need motivation or more validation. But I have 2 very busy boys and a full time job, will I be able to do this? HELP!
Thanks in advance!
Hi Raylen,
I am on anti hypertension and anti diabetic medications . Is it okay for me to take the salt drink ? I really am very very interested in doing the cleanse.
Thanks

I have been doing master cleanse and evry time i do it i feel like a new person and the more i do it its easier specially before i start i slowly cut down my meal and eat more vegetable and fruiets then the first 3 days does not have to be that hard.
I did the master cleanse last week for 3 days successfully as I stated. I wasn’t clear on coming off the master cleanse and I asked you for help. Much to my surprise, I still haven’t received. Subsequently, I must of done something wrong! I have some how developed hemmoroids & now I’m having difficulties going to the bathroom. If you have any feedback I can be emailed at ohs84@aol.com. Seeking any asssistance before I end up in the ER!

Hi Raylen,
I just finished my second day of my 7th Master Cleanse. I got to thinking that maybe someone else in the world may be on the cleanse right now. If you know of anyone, would you please give them my name so that I can have a buddy if they are interested in that. This time seems tough as I don’t have anyone in my family doing it with me and I need to cook at times.
Thanks for being there!

How do I know if my earlier email went through?
if maple syryp not available is cayenne pepper and lemon also okay
I started today, so far all is going well, I guess going home will be a challenge. What I wanted to ask if one can have a chewing gum during the day?

Hi, i just started the master cleanse today and want to make sure i will be getting all the benefits. After mixing my first glass this morning i hated the taste so decided to eat the 2 Tbsp maple syrup and cayenne pepper by themselves instead of mixing them with the water and 2 Tbsp lemon juice. I get them all down within 20 min. so i figure they mix in my stomach. Is this fine?
hello my name is kayla and i would like to start the master cleanse. i want to loose about 10 pounds… i don’t know really how this diet works but i also don’t want to spend a lot of money.. i need help and can’t find a website with the answers.
I am going to start tomorrow, my question is that I do have chronic migraines. I am on some prescription medications but even still get them. If I get one, can I take Ibuprofen or my prescription pain medications?
Hello, today is my first day on the Master Cleanse. I have not had a bowel movement yet. I wanted to know does the Cayenne Pepper play a major part in the cleanse. The reason being is because the pepper seems to burn my throat, which makes it kind of difficult.
Hi,
I just need to know do you eat while doing the diet or do you just drink the lemonade for 10 days?
and can you exercise during the 10 days?
please can anyone let me know I would really prefer some information before I start.
Hi,
I’m thinking of starting this diet and was wondering if I could get more information.
1. how much lemonade are you suppose to drink through out the day?
2. do you eat anything throughout the 10days or just drink?
Please let me know, I’m going to follow the diet very carefully and prepare myself mentally as much as I can.
can i take lemonade diet with one meal
Hi I’m currently on day 2 of the MC and I was curious to see if you knew if only drinking 4 servings a day of the lemonade is ok? or will it impede my weight lose? Its quite difficult for me to drink 6 servings.
Well, this is day 7 for me and feeling pretty good, lots of energy today. A bit of indigestion but not bad. Its better if I keep moving. Plan to stay on for 10 or 12 days
Hello,
Can you please tell me the best time of year to cleanse? I heard according to natural medicine that spring is very good time because your body is naturally in a cleanse mode and will yield the best results because it works in harmony with your body. Is this true?
Hi. Please can you let me know which would be the best herbal tea to use as an alternative or in conjunction with the salt water flush.
Kind regards

Great goods from you, man. I’ve understand your stuff previous to and you’re just too wonderful. I really like what you have acquired here, certainly like what you are saying and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it sensible. I can not wait to read far more from you. This is actually a terrific website.
Hi , I need some guidance here: I have high blood pressure and am leery about the salt flush requirement. Can somebody out there address this issue for me? I am 60 years old and have gained an extra 20lbs of belly fat after menopause, so I really want this Master Cleanse to benefit me without causing a STROKE. Thanks.
Good Luck, Marine! I’m on day 9 of the 10 day fast. To answer how long to stay home after the flush, I’d recommend you give yourself at least an hour. It gets harder as time goes by to stay cheerful about fasting when you smell cookies and watch people eat pizza. At those time, just remember how disappointed you’ll be in you yourself if you quit early, and how much self discipline you’ll gain as you complete the fast ….and then take a sip of the lemon drink. The journal becomes very important because no one else cares to hear the inner struggles of the fast, yet there is a need to vent and re state goals. It also becomes a very self revealing experience as the relationship we have with food is very complex and comes under scrutiny during the fast. One more thing I’ve learned is that the more cayenne you add to the drink, the more it satisfies hunger. I wish you all the best!!!
Hi all,
I’m starting the MC tomorrow, and I’m very motivated! Just a bit affraid about when I’ll start getting hungry and actually seing people eating all around me… But I really want to make it through, and lose 20lbs. So my 1st goal is doing for ten days, and I hope I’ll find the will to go further. One question : how long do we have to wait before leaving home after drinking SWF?
Also, I realy need some support, so if anyone want to be my mate for the 10 coming days, that would be a great help!
Wish me luck
The last time I did this fast, I couldn’t gag the salt water flush down. This time I lick a cut lemon then take a long sip of the slat water flush through a straw. …I then rest a few minutes. …Then repeat until it’s all consumed. It works very well.
Tried to purchase and download the expanded guides but can’t download because I am on a work computer. Can I get this material through the mail?
Hi Raylen,
Quick question, don’t know if someone might had asked.
I am on day 4 of the cleanser, I feel good. All is going well, but I lost about 3 kilos since I started and the problem is I don’t want to loose more wright…
I began a healthier lifestyle about 2 years ago (I am now 38, male, 5’10″, 80 kilos)
I excercise 5 days a week. A mix of cardio and resistance training and a high protein diet, balanced with whole grains, nuts other healthy fats…
This has helped me to get leaner taking my body fat from almost 30% to around 16% (I checeked last about a month ago) which is prety good I heard.
During the cleanser I took down the workout sessions to 3 a week.
I began the cleanser at 83+ kilos… I am sure I have lost a bit of fat, but I am also worried to loose lean muscle mass…
I am tempted to stop.
This is my first cleanser… I tried last year but was not well prepared and gave it up half way through the first day. So this time not sure what to expect.
What do you think? Will I continue to lose weight?

Dear Raylen, I am curently on Day 2 of the cleanse and I have 3 days left because I decided to do it for 5 days. I m scheduled to have a hydotherapy colonic treatment done at the start of November which is also meant to clean out wastes from my colon. Is there a need for me to complete the master cleanse if im going to have the colonic treatment done? I would really appreciate your opinion on this matter.

Hi Raylen, I had a couple of more questions for you, in your book you said to drink orange juice, what I wanted to know was does it have to be organic orange juice? I’m assuming yes, if so I was looking for some but couldn’t find only orange, it would be orange and another fruit or vegetable like carrot or apple, is that okay? Also am I only going to be drinking that or should I continue taking the laxatives with it? Last question how much orange juice should I be drinking? 60oz? Today’s my 9th day, so I’m trying to prepare for my 11th
Thank you for all your help I’ve lost 10lbs already!!

Day 1 for me. I’ve tried this cleanse twice in the last two years and never completed it. The day is almost over and I’m proud to say I know I can make it to 10 days. I’ve been working out for a little more then a month and I hadn’t seen any results in the last two weeks so the guys from a nutrishop said for me to deficits and right away I thought the lemonade diet. So here i am once again trying it. After the 10 days he said for me to go back to buy what I need to help me when working out. I hope with this I will stick to a good diet because im one that goes up and down on my weight. I am tired of that. So day 2 tomorrow. Woo I’m excited. 9days to go. I got this.
Hey Raylen, today’s my fourth day on the master cleanse, but I don’t seem to be making any bowel movements, it’s really frustrating, I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong, I read your book many times to figure out why am I constipated but it didn’t mention anything about that, I know it’s one of the side effects, but I still will appreciate it if you have any suggestions, thank you.
hi, i’m thinking of going on the master cleanse but i just want to know if by reducing the quantity of the maple syrup required of the recipe will increase the amount of weight i lose or not? thanks
Im going to start this cleanse and im a lil scared because when I don’t eat I get heart burn, but since this gives you the nutrients you need for the day It shouldn’t give me heart burn right? but if it does can I take anything for it?
Heyy! Day 1 for me!! It is only 4 pm & I am starving!! I didn’t ease into the cleanse at all, yesterday I stuffed myself because I knew I couldn’t eat for the next 10 days- bad idea! But I’m staying strong
In high school I drank laxative tea almost every night for a year at least & now my body doesn’t react to it whatsoever! I have to do the salt water flush, what makes it easier for me is to drink it through a straw & count each swallow. & just keep repeating until I’m done wit the 32 oz.
Tomorrow (Day 2) I am working & will have to get up around 4:30 in the morning :-/ I am thinking of making the lemonade drink tonight, is that ok? I don’t want to give up on this only because I didn’t have time to make the drink one morning.
Anyway, good luck everyone & thanks for some of the tips Raylen!
Thank you so much for turning me to the master cleanse,i done it for 10 days straight an i did it!!! Im so proud of myself thank you Raylen.
hi fellow master cleansers!
we can do it!
i am on day five! i am really proud of myself!
i have been wanting to do this cleanse for years and never did.
until now….
day two was the hump for me….so far
i am missing food….the crunch of crackers….i can smell all the food cooking in the neighbourhood.
all my addictions to food are coming up loud and clear.
i use food as a comfort, as a distraction and procrastination tool.
i am so happy to be finally doing this.
do people do the salt water flush?
i find it hard to do….it makes me want to barf.
i have been doing the laxative tea instead.
for all those people thinking about doing it!
you can!
anybody else on day five?
how are you feeling?
I am about to begin the master cleanse in two weeks. I did it last winter and I loved it (even though its hard at times). My only concern is that when I introduced orange juice, about half way through the day I got n awful migraine headache. It must be that I get headaches from large amounts of o.j. since nothing else about my habits had changed.
Any suggestions for alternative juices for breaking the detox?
Thanks!
Am actually very scared to start the diet i dont think am gunna finish i love food so much .pluse i get very bad headaces when i dont eat ,so i dont know whta to do. i need a extra push or help i really wanna do this!!! I need to clean my body make myself healthie cause am not .
making it through!!
Dear Raylen,
I am on my forth day of the cleanse. Thank you so much for giving the lemon aid diet for “food for thought”! I will be 69 on the ninth of this month
The best I have come across since coming into better health with ways other than the medical Dr.’s.
You give a lot of info to decide if it is for you or not. No matter how much we try to stay on a stict consumtion of the “right” food we tend to go back to our old ways and fall off the wagon.
My question is can I take less like 3 large glasses of the lemon aid for a day? Then continue the next day with the right amount? I am continuing with the wheat grass, laxatives, and water. It is overwelming when I get behind with consuming so much liquid of the lemon aid drink. I figure it should not discourage me enought to throw in the towel.
The effects that I notice now is geting over hunger, remembering which day it is that I am on for the cleanse until I focus, the dakness under my eyes is dissappearing, the virocus vains in my legs have shrunk to spider vains. Mind you they weren’t swollen like some virocus vains I have seen in others. The other thing that I am doing for the cleansing feelings is taking L-Arginine, one if I need it. Dr. Helda Clark recomended it with her parasite cleanse. The toxins are overcome with this help. This is my first blog by the way. Thanks, Marion
Hi Raylen
I’m on my 7th day and even though the first few days were pretty hard (as expected) I feel pretty good over all. How ever my nails cuticle are very sore and inflated. I have been reding up on inflammation factor of foods, and I’ve read a few plases that Lemons as well as maple syrup and Agave syrup are higly inflammatory and should be avoided. What can I do about this problem?
Hi Raylen,
I did the master cleanse, and have a few queries.
Firstly, I had very little bowel movement. I actually resorted to taking herbal fibre blend to get it to work properly. As the purpose of the diet is to cleanse the bowel, I was a bit concerned about this. Is this normal?
Secondly, is it usual to get sick of drinking the juice? By the 8th day, I felt like I just couldn’t stomach it anymore, but I kept going.
Thirdly, I would like to know if it is ok to keep drinking the juice once the diet is over? I quite enjoy the taste, as long as I don’t have to drink it all day, and only it!?
I would appreciate your thoughts on these issues.
Many thanks
Adri
