Hi! I am very new to this MC detox and would very much to give this program a try. I understand that there are three main ingredients that are required. a) organic lemon, b)organic grade b maple syrup and c) filtered water.
I am from malaysia and it is very difficult to get organic food here. especially lemon and grade b maple syrup. is there any substitution? and can i use R.O. water (reverse osmosis water) instead of filtered water. is there any difference between filtered water and purified water?
Please help. I want to start the program but difficult to get the ingredients.
Here’s a link to a post I made about not having to be perfect to benefit from the master cleanse
Hi,
I am not interested in loosing weight (BMI 19.5) but want to detox my body. I am 45 yrs old and just a bit worried that after the minimum 10 days detox I will look haggard in my face because I will loose too much. How is this? Will the little sagging belly (fat) go away, too? And: Some people tell me that I will have a strong body odour because of the toxins getting out of my body. Any experience with that? Thanks!
Here’s a blog post I wrote about how to do the master cleanse and not lose weight

Please PLease PLease answer my question… Do you take the laxative and drink the sea salt and water? Do you do both or just 1? Also the lemonade concoction do you have to use the cayenne? I do not like cayenne at all… Thanks
I have had many test in the past 6 months that required injections into my blood system. I do a colon cleanse every year and now I want to cleanse my liver, etc. I know that vitamin 12 and B vitamins cleanse the liver, but was wondering if this lemon-ade cleanse is also for cleaning up the liver? Today is my first day on this and I am very excited about doing something wonderful for my body and continuing with eating right. please let me know what your thought is on the liver and drinking the lemon-ade mixture..
I saw this cleanse on LA Ink, and I knew I had to try it. I’m starting on Sunday, and I can’t wait. One question: What age do you think is too young to try this? I’m only fifteen but am overweight and definitely don’t eat healthy enough. My parents are all for it and I’m trying to get my mom to do it with me, I think she’d love it. I’m kind of nervous because I know we can’t completely clear out our house, but I still want to try.
This is my second time on the mc. The first time i accomplished 12 days. It feels like this time around it’s harder. I’m on my 1st day and i’m already struggling. Any mc buddies that have just started?
im starting this after thanksgiving do they have to be oranic products? how much can i drink daily and can i exercise with it?
I just completed the MC after 11 days and lost 18 pounds! This was my third time doing the MC and also the longest! It was gratifying each day to see the weight loss on the scale. I’m 44 and I feel great and the weight loss definitely shows. Now, I’m doing the ease-out process and that really helps with the cravings discipline and re-adjusting to healthier eating habits. Thankyou again for the detailed MC recipe diet and ease-in and ease-out process.
Hi I was wondering if putting more cayenne will affect the diet.
Can you excersice too ?
My dad is 70yrs old and wants to try the MC, is it a good idea for him?
Can you eat veggies when doing the master cleanse?
Hello Raylen! I wanted to thank you for your much detailed mastercleansesecrets website! I plan on going vegan after the ten day fast, and hope the cleanse will help me control the cravings for whipped cream, cheese & fish… I have been pescetarian for the last 3 years.
My question is this; about two months ago I started feeling really lethargic, depressed and my bones ached. After being sick for about a month I went to the doctors, had blood work done and figured out what was wrong with me. I have two vitamin deficiencies, iron and vitamin. I am now taking supplements throughout the day. Liquid iron in the morning, calcium magnesium citrate and vitamin d in the afternoon and at night. I have been in this routine for a month now and feel extremely better.
Is the cleanse a good idea for me right now? I need to keep taking my medications during the cleanse, and they are not organic…
Thanks so much for your help
I have a lime tree in my backyard, I only use soap and water on her. I was wondering if I could replace the lemon juice with lime juice.
Hi! today is my last day of the cleansing,i have lost weight,but i am afraid that after this i will gain again as i dont know which correct diet to follow in order to keep this beautiful figure i have got,thanks to mc, Please help
thanking you
I must say the cleanse has worked wonders for me. The first tiome I did it I lost 25 lbs in eleven day. It was amazing how much energy I had during the fast. Since I have done it one more time and lost 13 lbs in seven days. The beginning was difficult I had a stuffy head feeling for the first two days and afterwards it became a lot easier. I recommed this to anyone that wants to detox and lose weight. I do a regular workout four days a week in the guy now and the weight is melting like butter. It was a great jump statr for me to move into the next phase of my get healthy program.
Hello , I just want to know if is safe to use cleansing while I’m breastfeeding or pregnant.
Is it safe to exercise as I normally do on the cleanse? I normally jog 3 miles a day, 5 days a week and weight train 3 days a week.
How many single servings are you supposed to have in a day? I am under the impression that it is one serving (one lemonade drink) per day?
Today i completed 1 week but i didnt find any changes in my weight and changes in my skin.
Is these changes comes after i complete full 10 days?
Please let me know.
I have read about the master clenase and would like to start it soon. I wanted to find out if I can still visit the gym during the 10 days of the clensing. Is this recommended or is it advisable to avoid the gym during the 10 days?

I would like to know how often can you do the cleanse? once a month?
hi, i hope u will answer my question. i really want to start this MC detox, but rite now i m on Dr Charles clark’s new high protein diet. i usually do it. i want to ask u few things:
1.should i start MC detox and give a pause to my high protein diet, then start it again?
2.can we drink water as well along with the lemonade during 10 days of detox, or only lemonade no water, plz specify?
Hello Raylen. Your Master Cleanse information is very informative. However, I do have only one comment about the how to portion. You skim over the sea salt flush. While preparing to start the cleanse I reviewed the ingredients and did not find the when and why of the flush. I searched google for “sea salt in the master cleanse” and found a website that was thoroughly informative concerning the cleanse and the flush. Otherwise, your information was well received. I will start my cleanse on April 20, 2012.
Thanks for all that you do for the inquiring minds.
Need answer please!
On the first 3 days on the cleanse, how many lemonade should I drink when I have normal dinner at day 1 and fruit and vegetables at day 2 ?
Can you continue to take prescription meds while doing Master Cleanse?
Hi,
I’m going to start the MC but I’m afraid because i take thyroid medication and the pill. Will this be bad for me? Can I still do it and continue with my medication? Thank you so much for your help!
Hi there, Do you know any healthy recipe books that conclude after the cleaning diet to maintain health and keep the weight off?
I just started the master cleanse, today is my 2nd day. I have irritable bowel and was wondering if this was not a good idea because of that. I have mild ibs and I’ve taken the salt water it really works. Do you take that for the entire 10 days twice a day and is it o.k. with the ibs that I have?
If you do have to eat what do you recommend?
Hi I was wondering how much u drink per day and can u continue your exercise that u have always done
I would like to know if I should always be close to a toilet? Will I be going to the bathroom a lot? I am prone to headaches so IF I do get one, can I take something for it?
Just wondering if you can exercise while on the MC? I see lots of others have asked this, so sorry for making you answer it again. I do a 20 minute kettle bell workout three times a week and the 40 minute Insanity workout twice a week. Other than that my job is pretty sedentary so I don’t get much exercise beside my workout.
Is there a commonly asked questions section? If not there should be so we do not all ask you the same questions you have to answer over and over again.
Thanks so much for your information about the MC. I’ll be starting it as soon as I’m done with my prescription.
I am interested in doing the cleanse. But I take blood pressure medication and a water pill. How will this affect the process? Do I still take my medication?
Did anybody got an answer to their question? I havent where else can I email my question to?
