The following is a post from a reader of this blog which I thought would benefit those of you who think you have to follow the master cleanse to the letter in order to reap any benefits…
I started the MC right after Ash Wednesday as a form of Fasting, little did I know that it benefited me a lot:
1) My painful knee got diminished
2) My cholesterol level was normalized
3) I could zipped up my jeans without trying hard and
4) I finally realized that I am a person with good discipline…even though I am the one preparing meals for my family I could control my appetite because I have always Jesus in mind “He wasn’t been tempted by Satan to turn stones into bread”…but I know this MC could not be perfectly realized without asking for the Divine intervention of God…I lose only 10 lbs for 10 days because I couldn’t tolerate the salt water flush in the morning..the first day I drank it I vomited and felt really sick inside..the following days I just used organic peppermint tea..and just like the others who experienced “no bowel movement for three days” I also experienced that…After the 10th day, that was the chance I moved a lot after eating apple and lettuce…I felt refreshed after that…to date, I am not taking rice but only bread or sweet yam as substitute and found out that I am beginning to gain weight again…my food consist of fruits and vegetables (cucumber, lettuce, zucchini, spinach, pechay, broccoli (steamed), tomatoes, sweet pepper) and I also go for fish….I am planning to go for it after 3 months…if I did it the first time, I could the next time..by the way, my daughter, Dorina, was on MC, again and she felt great…but she discard the maple syrup since she presumed that maple syrup, itself, is fattening…

Hello
)
This is my first time and I am very excited. I’ve been preparing all week but eating fruits and vegetables, today I’m eating only liquids, and tomorrow is the day I should start with the lemonade. I’ve been getting everything ready but….. I can’t find maple syrup in my city besides Aunt Jemima. I’ve been going to al the natural stores, grocery stores, organic stores and people have never heard about it. (I lived in the states and I’ve seen it, but I am in south america now
Could I use any other type of honey like natural bee honey or what should I do? If I don’t find it could I use Aunt Jemima or is it better not do it at all?
In my case I’m not doing the master cleanse to lose weight but to detoxicate my body. I’m very motivated and mentally prepare to start but now I am concern about the maple syrup. What should I do?
I would really appreciate anyone knowledge in the subject
Thank you
