Stanley Burroughs’ Master Cleanse Lemonade Fast
Required ingredients:(preferably) organic lemons, organic Grade B Maple syrup and organic cayenne. Organic cayenne seems to be less “hot” than cheaper store brands, so this may be an incentive to spend the extra money on this. Only use fresh lemon juice, not packaged
In the Master Cleanser booklet by Stanley Burroughs, it states to use 2 T of lemon juice and 2T of maple syrup per 10oz of water plus 1/10 of a tsp of cayenne or more if desired. If mixing half a gallon (for lower body weight), then use half gallon of water, 6oz (3/4 cup) of lemon juice, and 6oz of maple syrup. Less maple may be used if weight loss is desired, or more may be used if weight gain is the goal. Many have found using 4oz of maple syrup is desirable for taste. ½-3/4 tsp of cayenne per half gallon is a good start. You may work up to more to taste or for deeper cleansing benefits. Some may use as much as 3T!
If mixing a full gallon, you may remove 20oz of water, and add in the 10oz of lemon juice and 10oz of maple syrup; this will be the proper proportions so the gallon will not run over. Cayenne may be used at 1 ¼ tsp or higher to taste. More cayenne would be best, and you may ad more as the cleanse progresses. A full gallon would be preferred, but if you have a lower body weight, half a gallon would be fine as well.
The purpose of the lemon is to help alkalize and cleanse the system. It is important that the amount of lemon is not varied during this fast. The Grade B is a darker amber color and is higher in nutrients along with providing balanced sugars that will help during the fast. Other sweeteners such as honey, sugar, or sucralose should not be used, since the maple syrup is not just for taste, but also for nutrition. The cayenne will help in raising the body temperature to help with pathogens and it will also help in addressing mucous, which can be associated with Candida. The cayenne is very important in higher levels if fasting during the colder months.
Drink at least a half gallon, preferably the full gallon throughout the day. If you have a higher body weight, closer to a gallon should be consumed. If you are of lower body weight, the half gallon may be consumed up to the full gallon. This is considered your food source, so drink a 10oz glass whenever you feel hungry. It is important to carry this with you so you will not be tempted to get food when you feel the need for energy. Being prepared is key for the success of this program. If you are under weight, more maple syrup may be used, and if you are concerned with being over weight, less may be used. The normal amount may be sweet for some.
For cleansing the bowels of any material that may be left behind, you would drink a cup of laxative tea in the evening. “Get Regular” by Yogi, or “Smooth Move” by Traditional Medicinals are good to take. If taken before bed, an elimination may occur in the night. “Get Regular” does have more nutrients for liver support.
A sea salt flush is recommended each morning on the cleanse. This can be achieved by using 2tsp of non-iodized sea salt in 32oz of pure water. Drink this mixture in a short time (apprx 15-25 minutes). If more salt is needed, more may be added to achieve a proper flush. Stay close to a bathroom as you may start to flush in 20 minutes to an hour.
The night before starting, drink a cup of laxative tea
Start the morning with a salt flush (laxative tea may be substituted if desired)
Drink the lemonade mixture as your food
Each night before bed drink a cup of laxative tea
Water may be consumed as much as desired. The longer a fast is done, the more care must be taken in breaking the fast. The cleanse is suggested at least 3 days; most will do 10 days up to 40 days. Please discuss a 40 day fast with your doctor for any contraindications. Eating soft foods such as apple sauce and lightly steamed vegetables is good the first 1-3 days after the fast. Progressing into more raw vegetables and salads is also preferred until the system is ready to handle meats and the right kinds of grains. Supplement with digestive enzymes if support is desired.
