Question: Hi when you said make sure u put enough maple syrup and lemon i was wondering. is 2 tbsp of lemon juice and 2 tbsp of maple syrup in 48 ounces enough? the directions never told me how much water to add and since it said drink at least 48 ounces a day i thought thats what they meant…..confused
Good question, and I think there was some confusion with the single serving and the whole day serving. The 2 tbsp of lemon and maple syrup is for one 10oz glass. Below is the master cleanser recipe for a single serving of lemonade and a whole day batch.
For water I drink my body weight in ounces, but you can drink more if you want. I would try to drink at least as much water as lemonade, and preferably 2 glasses of water for every 1 glass of lemonade.
Water will help control hunger, flush out your system, and even reduce some of the master cleanse side effects. Just make sure you’re using filtered water. Tap water is treated with chlorine, and contains sediment from the pipes, and other nasty stuff that is not good for your body.
Master Cleanse Recipe:
#1 (single serving):
- 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice (approx ½ of a Lemon)
- 2 Tbsp Genuine Organic Maple Syrup (not Maple flavored sugar syrup you’d put on pancakes)
- 1/10 Tsp Cayenne pepper (red pepper)
- Ten oz. glass of hot water (cold can be used if preferred)
#2 (60 oz. daily serving):
- 60 oz. water
- 12 Tbsp organic Maple syrup (Grade B)
- 12 Tbsp lemon juice
- ½ Tsp Cayenne Pepper

Hi I tried this cleanse a year ago and only got to day four. I started aching and got dizzy and thought this cant be good. I just started 2 days ago and to be honest I already want to quit. I feel very tired and, well, just yucky. is this really already working at day 2 so well that I feel this bad? I keep telling myself the worse I feel the better it must be working. I am not going to the bathroom alot right now and I have taken the Herbal Laxative “Naturalax 2″. It is a pill form because I hate the tea and CANNOT drink salt water. How often should a person go poo on this diet a day?
You have made an error in your site.
You wrote “defiantly” where I am almost certain you meant to write “definitely”.
There may be more errors but I did not check.
I’d love a copy of your book for pointing out this error! Although I plan on doing my first master cleanse with no books – I start in 2 days – advice appreciated.
Thanks
Peter
Do you recommend that one should start the master cleanse the afternoon before two days off from work? In other words, how close to a bathroom does one have to be while doing this program?
I am using the sea salt mixture as a laxitive and have had no results. I have had problems with constipation all of my life how much sea salt is too much
I THINKING OF THIS CLEANSE
I’M THINKING OF THIS CLEANSE TO USE TO LOSE 20 LBS BEOFRE MY ANNIVERARY IN APRIL I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO LOSE 30 LBS. DO YOU THINK IT COULD HAPPEN WITH THE MASTER CLEANSE? AND YOUR ONLY TO USE THE RECIPE AND NOTHING ELSE CAN BE USE? PLEASE LET ME KNOW I’M IN NEED.:)
I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO TRY THE PRODUCT BUT I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. CAN YOU USE 100 PERCENT PURE MAPLE SYRUP GRADE A DARK AMBER. AND ALSO CAN YOU USE LEMON JUICE IN A BOTTLE INSTEAD OF A REAL LEMON.
I’m on day 3 of the cleanse.I’m not as hungry I think my bodys adjusting. I tried the salt water flush on the first day and I was vomiting 10 minutes later so I’ve been using Smooth Move tea 2 x a day. I’m only having 1 BM per day. Is there anything else I can take that will work better or is 1 a day enough?
I’ve been on this cleanse for 4 days and I’ve lost 9 lbs.
I have just completed a 20 day Master Cleanse fast and would like to introduce two friends to it. Each friend has a medical problem that they are dealing with. One has had a triple bypass about ten years ago, and the other has sugar diabetes. Both are currently taking medicines for their respective problems. Can you please advise if the Master Cleanse Fast is something for them to try?
Thanks in advance,
Karen Murray

P.S. Please disregard previous e-mail with incorrect address (bandkmurray@verizon.net).
I just started the master cleanse today and the only problem I am having is figuring out the 1/10 of a tsp. The lemonade does not taste bad it is the cheyenne that is hard to swallow which makes me drink more water (which I know is a good thing). I am on day one and taking it one day at a time.
i love to do the cleanse again,but am not able to handle the salt flush in the morning.My last clense i did for 14 days and the only reason for not doing it again is the salt flush.Is there anything else instead?
Karin
The only type of Organic maple syrup that I can find is Grade A. What is the difference between grades A and B?
Thanks,
Joe
I have afew questions for you.I had a baby girl 8 months ago.And it has been 8 months and I cannot seem to get rid of belly.I am 39 and have always weighed 138 lbs.Another thing I ordered The body cleanse $80.00.And It did not do a single thing for me.So I quit using it.Also I take perscription meds.1 for pain and 1 for anxiety.Being on the one pain I craved nothing,but sugar.Can i bo on my meds doing this cleanse? Another thing does this drink taste good? Because I can not handle bad tasting food,drink.I just started taking perscription diet pills.And the only thing I have been eating is yogurt or pudding.Sincerly,Shannon
Another thing I forgot to mention Iam costipated alot,because of the pain meds.I want all of the junk out of me.I have to take the pain meds.Because I have serious pain. Waiting to hear from you.Have A blessed Day!Shannon
I sea salt flush was a bit much for me. you have to do it first thing in the morning. You need to be near a toilet for at least two hours afterward. I would like to do more research on sea salt flushes. I am looking for more info.
I am on day 11 and this is the second time (1st in Oct. 2006 – 13 days)I have done the master cleanse. I have lost about 10 lbs. The weight loss was about the same at the same rate the first time. When I am no longer elimating anything, that is when I stop.The weight loss is a wonderful plus but my main reason for doing it is to detox. It is very true that it is really shocking the amount of waste that passes even though I have not eaten anything in 11 days. I find that closer to the 10th day is when you really get rid of the mucus (sorry…I know this is gross). I have more energy than when I eat, I don’t really get hungry. If I feel like I may be about to get to that point…yeah, you got it…I drink another cup of lemonade. I am continuing to work out and I’m able to keep by same daily routine. I like my lemonade warm. The first time I did it, I was drinking it cold/cool/room temp and almost quit until I decided to try it warmed.I only do the salt water flush on about the 3rd or 4th day (I do the herbal laxative tea) and YOU MUST REMAIN CLOSE TO A BATHROOM FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER YOU DRINK THE SALT WATER. Unlike the lemonade, it’s a sudden urge (about 2-4 times for me) within about an hour.
Hey Peter,
Don’t you think it would have been more appropriate to contact the author directly?

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE MAPLE SYRUP I HAVE GRADE A DARK MAPLE 100 PERCENT PURE MAPLE SYRUP CAN I USE THAT OR WHERE DO YOU GET THE GRADE B SYRUP
How many days do I do the master cleanse for? Also is there any tricks in avoiding caffine withdrawl headaches?
Can I use Grade A natural maple syrup because I can’t seem to find Grade B maple syrup.
So I want to do this cleanse, I learned of it from a customer of mine, and I was wondering why the maple syrup? I understand for the nutrients and energy, but I was wondering instead of using the maple syrup, I have local honey that is whipped with local bee pollen, and wsa assuming it would be better since it is a whole food, with tons of nutrients. So I will start it this Thurs, so if you could let me know as soon as you can, that would be great?!
So take care and have a Blessed day!!

Hello, 0just found your recipe for the master cleanse. Do you suggest to cut down your daily food intake a few days prior to begining the cleanse?
Thanks Sherri from RI
what if you cant find maple syrup could you use pure honey.
Hello
I haven’t started just yet. I plan to start on the 15 of April thru the 29 of April.
Is that safe for me to do? This will be my first time, I was reading if your overweigt to use less maple syrup. How much should I use? Also do you know if the cayenne capsules are avalible in stores? I plan to do this once a month for five months, is that safe for me to do. Please let me know…I really do need to lose the weigh, AND get this old WASTE out of me.
Thanx so much
I would like to try the sea salt flush but I have candida and I was told not to eat anything sweet because it feed the candida can I eliminate the maple syrup help! I don’t need to gain weight or lose weight. I want to get clean
Hello from Jamaica W.I.
1. Can you use bottled organic lemon juice instead of fresh lemons?
2. Can you use cane juice instead of the maple syrup?
3. Can you do any form of exercise while on the Master Cleanse?
Karla
Can I contiune to drink the master cleanse tea twice a day while eating healty meals?
I have done the cleans last year and am going to be doing it again shortly I would just like to say that it changed my life for the better. I was over 200 pounds and lost 95 pounds the weight has stayed off. I had tried all of the weightloss stuff out there and none has worked like this cleans. I would like to say thank you so much it has changed my life.
I was wondering..if i can eliminate the maple syrup?
Ive got the cayenne and lemons…but i cant find grade B.So i was wondering if i cut it off the diet
Aloha,
I find it just amazing how ignorant and lazy most of the posters to this topic are. They comment on how they skip this, alter the recipe or don’t specifically follow the steps! YOU MUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY OR DON’T DO IT! and please don’t make comments here about how you couldn’t do it when you were not doing it correctly to begin with! NOW for the real story….. I am 40 year old restaurant manager – I live on fast food, Coffee and Pepsi. I am 5’11 and weighed in at 280 the morning of July 11th 2007. I have never tried to “Diet†and think every diet out there is BS. I don’t exercise other then traveling from department to department within the hotel. After a trip to the hospital with serious acid reflux my doctor suggested the Master Cleanse and with the scare I just experienced I decided it was time to start eating better. Please do not refer to the Cleanse as a diet IT IS NOT. It is exactly as described a Cleanse. I have found the over the last 16 days it does what it claims to do. Follow the steps precisely and you will experience the same fantastic results as I have. I was extremely skeptical and thought this was never going to work with my occupation and schedule. But I dove into the program completely and been extremely satisfied. I feel great, don’t have the urge to snack, and best of all I have dropped 28.5 LBS. The Cleanse has cured my usual cravings, Mc Nuggets, Taco Bell, Doughnuts, Starbucks and Pepsi. I am around food all day long and don’t ever have the feeling of “boy I wish I could eat that cheeseburger instead of drinking this juice†the juice is very satisfying and with that you will never “Crave†what you shouldn’t be eating anyway. The only slightly difficult step in the process is drinking the 32oz of warm salt water (sea salt non-iodized). After the first few days you get used to it, I feel better and have more energy then I ever had. I am planning on completing 20 days before I go off the Cleanse due to some heavy travel or I would probably due the full 40 days. (it is recommended you do no fewer than 10 days with a maximum of up to 40 days) GOOD LUCK & DO IT CORRECTLY and you too will complete this Cleanse successfully. I suggest picking up the book lose weight and feel better in 10 days by Peter Glickman.
Can I run and do the lemon cleanse
Can I take something else besides orange juice like grapefruit juice?
you have to read the book or go to the website
fresh lemon not bottled
cayenne pepper is a must. I read about a trick that works ..put a pinch of cayenne pepper in ur mouth then drink the mixture…if u leave the cayenne pepper in the mixture for too long it will get hot.
to keep weight off…choose ur food carefully
why fast then go eat mc donald’s afterwards…even though this is not a diet if any diet you are going the gain some weight back…you have go the mastercleanse for information….it’s pretty simple. it is ourselves that makes things bigger what it is…
would organic maple syrup be the same as the genuine grade b syrup? if not
where could i purchase this grade b maple syrup?
as a diabetic what can I use in the diet formula besides pure maple syrup
DO YOU DRINK THE DAILY BATCH PLUS DRINK YOUR BODY WEIGHT IN WATER?
so how much salt do I use to make the salt water flush? and I am a water drinker usually atleast 3 liters a day, is it ok to drink allot of water while I am doing this cleanse?
Thank you I’ve lost
ten pounds so far and
this lemonade taste

guy tell me to Google
this and you came up
and I could not possibly
be happier. Wow!

I want to start the master cleans, but i was woundering if i can use epsomsalt rather than sea salt, becase it readly avaiable in the bahamas where i live, and can i use any kind of laxative tea?
I have a severe anaphylactic allergy to cayenne. Do I really need it?
I am on my 13th day of the master cleanse. I have not been having bowel movements, but I have been following directions. I don’t feel sick or tired or anything, just normal. I have lost about 8 pounds, but not any real health benefits. I wasn’ sick before, but I was hoping to feel amazing. Any ideas?
hi… im wondering if any one could comment back, i have a question how much ingredients do i need if im making a gallon of the juice… as in how much do i add in the water
Hi I tried to start the Master Cleanse this morning but only made it to 6 in the afternoon. I cannot stand the taste of the maple syrup..It’s disgusting. I drank it cold, does it taste better when it’s warm? and does Grade A dark amber syrup work? PLease help me out cuz i just can’t get past this taste!!!
Im not sure what you mean by “(not Maple flavored sugar you’d put on pancakes)”. Grade B Organic maple syrup is sweet and colored just like regular maple syrup. The major difference being that there is no formaldehyde in it and it does not gum up when chilled. I am actually going to switch to using this after my MC is over. I have read some comments on this site that say the taste of the maple syrup is horrible. I think it tastes better than non-organic grade A syrup. So to clarify, am I using the right maple syrup?
Hey Man!
I need to lose 300 pounds. I am fat and I eat hamburgers and put coke boxes on my head when i get really drunk. I probably have like 200 pounds of nasty stuff in my body. Will this diet really help?
