I hope you all had a great weekend. It’s Sunday night here, and I thought I would make a quick post about the Spring Master Cleanse I mentioned in my previous posts.
I decided to start the cleanse this Wednesday, and stay on for 10 days. I’ll be making daily entries to this blog during the entire 10 days, and the 3 days following the cleanse as I transition back to my normal diet.
I don’t have any specific reason for choosing Wednesday. Like most of you I have a busy workload, and lots of things to get done (including my taxes!) so no matter when I start the master cleanse it’s going to conflict with my day to day responsibilities. It would be nice to check into a resort for 10 days and sip my lemonade on a tropical beach somewhere, but that’s just not an option.
There’s never going to be perfect time to go on the master cleanse. If I wanted to I could write a mile long list of excuses as to why I should put off starting the cleanse this week. But at the end of day my health is the most important thing.
I intend to be very honest about what it’s like to go through the 10 day Master Cleanse. The good and the bad will all be shared right here. The Master Cleanse does test you. There’s going to be aches, you will get hungry, but none of that compares to the sheer delight of making through the whole 10 days. It feels AWESOME!
I hope some of you will join me, and we can all do the master cleanse together. I’m setting up a special section of this site just for this event so everyone can follow along and share their experience starting from day 1 all the way through day 10.
I’ll be posting more in the next day or two. Until then, have a happy and healthy day.

I would love to get your e-newsletters.
Raylen Raylen Raylen,
thanks so much for all you’ve done for so many of us, you’ve kept me inspired enough to make it threw 10 days of not eating, I’ve never done it before in my whole 40 years, I’ve learned a lot about myself, I do feel that it might be beneficial to do 3 day cleanses once a month. Is there anything I need to know about 3 day cleanse. Again thank you.
One thing I noticed is that I didn’t have many solid eliminations, is this normal or is my metabolism just slow?
i REALLY WANT TO START THE MASTER CLEANSE FOR TWO REASONS. tO CLEAN AND DETOX MY SYSTEM AND TO LOOSE SOME EXCESS FAT. i DO NEED TP PURCHASE THE BOOK TO GET HE CORRECT RECIPE THOUGH. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JEENY CRAID DIET I CAOULDNT STAY ON IT LONG EATING FROZEN BOXED FOODS STARTED TO GET TO ME AFTER A GOOD MONTH. I COULDNT HACK IT.
hi Raylen
I started the cleanse with you guys last week and got sick I develope a bacterail infection that had me down for all of the Easter holiday. Know I am not blaming the cleanse but what could have stirred up a infection like that. Needless to say I had to stop last Monday, because I had to go on meds.
my e-mail has changed – please use the one listed above
thank you
I started last Tuesday. everything was fine until Monday I have been sick throwing up every time I take the salt wash in the morning.On my 7th day in I was feeling like you feel on the 2nd day w/headache weakness. When I did this last year it was nothing like this. I think I will go off today. Get me some broth.
I started the Master Cleanse today for the 2nd time. The first time I was very successful, but I am finding it harder this time to stick to it than it was the first time, so I will be reading your blog each day for inspriation. Thanks
I have started my cleanse today my niece did hers last month and she looks good. I hope it works for me!
Hi everyone! This is my first time doing the cleanse and I was wondering about some side effects. I am on my fourth day now, and I haven’t had a problem sticking to it, however, yesterday and today I have been feeling extremely emotional and spent last night curled up in my room crying for no reason!! I don’t have any kind of problems emotionally, so I am just wondering if it is part of the detox that is making me feel somewhat depressed and listless.?? Help!!
I JUST CAME OFF THE CLEANSE FOR THE THIRD TIME, I FEEL FINE, MY QUESTION IS CAN I CONTINUE ON THE DRINK AND THE SOUP AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT?
I DID 15 DAYS …10 DAYS….LASTLY 5 DAYS…NOW I WANT TO STOP FOR 15 DAYS AND STILL DRINK THE MIXTURE AND SOUP AND SALT LAXATIVE DAILY.
i would love to start the master cleanse but i don”t have the lemonade recipe. could someone please email me to tell me what i need to do. thanks
Congratulations to all who have made the decision to start the cleanse. I will you all success and I am cheering for each and all to complete the process. Unfortunately I am unable to join in on this endeavor, due to job related and personal health related issues. Again, I commend you to all on your decision and I wish continued success. Please keep me posted.

Hi Raylen,
I have done the Master Cleanse once, it was really hard to stick to the first three days. Eventually my body got used to just drinking the lemonade. When I was finished the 10 days my body actually missed the lemonade. I want to do the cleanse again because I felt great after the last time I did the Master Cleanse. I have tried to do the Master Cleanse since, but found it harder to stick to it for the second time. Maybe starting the cleanse with you will help me complete the Master Cleanse for a second time:)
Good Luck everyone!!
You’ll feel great:)
I think it’s a great idea…to do a cleanse…10 days…..starting when? – wed. – tomorrow??? Wow…I need a little help…what are the ingredients again??? It’s been a minute- someone tell me what I need to get and I’m in!! Great Idea!!!
Hi Raylen
I guess great minds think alike…I know I am
past due for my cleanse..I would like to start
also on Wednesday….you kinda helped me to commit and stick to it…I know the results are well worth the effort…
thanks
Hello Raylen,
I am in as well, looking foward to joining everyone on this cleanse. God Bless and happy cleansing.
Jonathon
Im in….I did the cleanse 3 years ago and am in desperate need of it again. Thanks for the invite.
GREAT!
I was actually planning on starting Sunday, but decided to push it to Wednesday. I will set Saturday as my day to begin. I would love the company of others doing this. It will be my first time. The sludge, puffiness, stiff hands, aching joints, depression and obesity must go! I feel like I have reached a breaking point to where I am willing to go without food for 10 days (hopefully more) if it will cleanse me of all that! Looking forward to it!
Hi Raylen,
The note you sent really made me really realize that there would never be a perfect time to start the cleanse. Since you’re starting yours tomorrow amd there is so much support in this group i know i can. this may just be the “perfect time” i was waiting for.
I even got my brother to start as well.
what I most like about the cleanse is the idea of will power, which i havn’t been able to display for weeks now. I’m so excited to start the cleanse.
