Answers to Master Cleanse Questions

Hi,
In my part of town, Norhthern NJ, I could not find the grade B of maple syrup. There is only grade A. That is what I used and I did the cleanse for a precautionary 3 day period. I did not notice a change of the way I felt at all. Is that normal? I’m not worried, just thought I’d feel different somehow. Could this be because I only cleansed for 3 days?
Grade A is not the best choice because it goes through a different refinement process, and it does not contain as many minerals as grade B maple syrup.
I did a quick google search and found this website http://www.morsefarm.com/pages/syrup.php that sells grade B maple syrup if you can’t find any locally.
The Master Cleanse effects everyone different, and it’s possible that using Grade A syrup was to blame. One thing I’ve noticed is that if your current lifestyle habits are bad (fast food, no exercise, ect.) then doing the Master Cleanse will have a bigger impact on how you feel.
This does not mean healthy people shouldn’t do the Master Cleanse, it’s just that your body will go through less of a change.
I am extremely hungry? Why? I have read that many people do not feel hunger.I just had a baby about 8 weeks ago? Would this make a difference?
It’s normal to be hungry for the first few days. Most of the time the hunger goes away after the 3rd day, but don’t be surprised if you have hunger all the way through the cleanse. If you’re still recuperating from your pregnancy, or nursing you should hold off on doing the Master Cleanse.
Here’s some more information that should help

how often should you do the sea salt flush?
I tried Master Cleanser for the first time I made it for about three days before I chowed down on my daughters left overs at dinnertime. I will start all over again tonight with out fail (I hope). The three days I was on I was not so much hungry as I just wanted to eat my own cooking, The cleanser keeps me pretty full, I was wondering, could it be used as a kind of supplement between meals to control hunger example drink a liter for breakfast and another for lunch then a healthy dinner? Would that have any benefits?
I have more of a question than a comment.
I planned on starting the master cleanse @ the beginning of February 2007.
Having dealt with type2 diabetes in the past I wanted to know is there anything I should be doing differently, or is it safe for me to do it at all. I’m excited about the cleanse, I just want to make sure that I’m going into this with my eyes wide open.
Sincerely,

Hi Raylen
I asked about different fruit, are you able to use limes as well as lemons, does it make a difference?
I did the diet for 11 days, I did cheat on a couple of days but I was very pleased with myself for lasting so long. After the first 6 days I lost 5lbs and I was so delighted, after exercising for the past 5 years I have never lost that amount of weight in such a short time. I didn’t actually weigh myself after the 11th day so don’t know my full weight loss.
My question now is, I finished the diet on 19 Jan then went on a 5 day cruise. I was very good and didn’t over indulge at all. Thing is I need to know how soon can you cleanse again, I was thinking of doing a 10 day cleanse for the first 10 days of every month, is this healthy?

Hello,
I have a question that I would like to ask you personally. My sister is the first one to try the master cleanse. I was going to try it but she was more anxious than I was.
She said that she felt nauseated (sick to her stomach) after drinking it. She only had one cup. Is this normal? I advised her to stop until I found out if that is a side effect. The thing is that she didn’t even have a full cup to drink. She couldn’t tolerate the cayenne pepper taste. At first she added a little too much so she re-made the drink adding a little less than half a teaspoon for the 60 oz. serving. It became a little tolerable but not enough to convince her to stick with it. She’d rather the pepper sink to the bottom and not shake it or stir it when she’s ready to drink it.
What can she do about the taste? Is the pepper absolutely necessary? Is it the main ingredient?
I also have a cousin who (from her understanding) says that you can spruce it up to your taste, adding a little more (or less) to the mixture. Is that okay to do? I didn’t read anything like that in the guide so I wanted to ask you.
Thank you
I found the grade B Maple Syrup, but it does not seem to have any vitamins or minerals. I could only find the kind by Trader Joes, which is made in Needham, MA. It is organic and does not state that there are any vitamins or minerals. Why is that?

Can you eat on the master cleanes diet
When you do the master cleanse…are you not at risk of putting your body in a survival mode? What are the chances of gaining back the weight that you lose on the cleanse? I friend of mine use to be in shape & now is majorly over weight, but he is proud to say how he does the master cleanse on a regular basis. What stops the body from losing muscle vs fat on the cleanse?
To help Trina who asked about the cayenne pepper… I had the same problem. I could not tolerate the potent pepper in my drink so I left it out when I mixed the lemon/lime and syrup together. Then, before each bottle of lemonade I drank, i would pour a little into a dixie cup with the pepper, mix it up and take it like a shot. Then I could enjoy the rest of the lemonade without the pepper. I got the same results from the cleanse as my friends who liked to mix the pepper in with the drink.
hi raylen,i’m on day 6 & feelin’ great. gonna go for a massage & watsu tomorrow.good idea right? i’m finding i get cold really easily & crave hot showers.is that common? its my 2nd time doing the master cleanse (last april for 9 days) and i was wondering if the mastercleanser works outside the intestins & digestive area-like to stir up old cells in the form of maybe cellulite?that’s waste right.does staying on the cleanse longer start to target waste like that?also my mom thinks she’s becomming diabetic-would the cleanse help to be a prevenative attempt?she drinks LOTS of soda & eats fastfood atleast 5 x’s a week so i’m not surprised,sadley enough.she hasn’t been diagnosed just has burning feet when she eats sugary things.is that a symptom?she’s very addicted to caffine as well.one last thing, my new co-worker’s boyfriend has really bad stomach ulsers & i reccomended the cleanse as an original cure-has that been proven latley? & what do you think of teenagers claiming to have ulsers doing the cleanse ?age limit on the cleanse ?can’t wait to hear back from you!!thanks for all your research & hard work!!

Hi, this is my first day on the cleanse. I have a question. I have Diverticulosis and have been in the hospital 5 times for it. I am fighting a resection with every thing I have, I do NOT want the surgery. Will this cleanse help me with this battle?? Ever have anyone else try it that has this problem.
I have a raging headache also…I think it’s the caffeine withdraw. No hunger pains as of yet.
