Forgot to mention that usually you can get grade B maple syrup from health food stores. You can order it from Glenna Farms in Amery, WI. They only have grade B in gallon size (be prepared to spend more than $50 w/shipping and handling. Here is there web site. http://www.glennafarms.com
If you are fortunate enough to live near a Trader Joe’s, they also carry it but you will again spend quite a bit. The bottles are small and w/the MC you go thru a lot.

I am on day six of the MC. I have already learned a few things I want to share.
1) It doesn’t seem to make sense to take your supplements or medications while on the cleanse. Since the cleanse flushes out your system, I would imagine they would be all be flushed out also. In addition to that, it is possible that they could be detrimental. Especially if you are suppose to take them with food.
2) The author made the suggestion of using cayenne pepper capsules (organic) in place of the powder if you can’t handle the “kick”. That is great for me. However, the recipe only calls for 1/2 tsp of cayenne powder for every 60 ounces of water (minimum daily intake) and the capsules have 1/4 tsp powder in each. I am using Oregon’s Wild Harvest brand. I am assuming this is standard for all. I believe the authors advice about taking 2 capsules with every glass you drink is EXTREMELY excessive. That would be 41/2 tsp of cayenne a day. The bottle only recommends 3 per day w/meals.

Sorry, forgot one question – I normally take a pill to control high blood pressure pill daily. Will it be OK to continue with it?
Thanks

Can anyone tell me if I need to be using filtered water to make tea or is boiling tap water sufficient? Do I have to boil filtered water? What about distilled?
