I DID IT!!!

10 days ago I started "The Master Cleanse". I have attempted this cleanse multiple times and only made it to day 5. I am happy to say that I finally stuck it out the whole ten days. Here is what the cleanse consists of...60 0z. water per day divided into six servings of 10 oz each. In each 10 oz. glass put in the following.....2 Tbsp Pure Maple Syrup, 2 Tbsp fresh squeezed organic lemon juice, and 1/10 tsp cayenne pepper. And that is what you live off of for 10 days or longer (if you choose to go further). And no I am not breastfeeding, so don't try it if you are. For those of you who are not able to breastfeed contact me! We have a great homemade unprocessed baby formula that is healthy, and has done wonders for both our kids.

Purpose of cleanse:

To dissolve and eliminate toxins and congestion that have formed in any part of the body.

To cleanse the kidneys and the digestive system.

To purify the glands and cells throughout the entire body.

To eliminate all unusable waste and hardened material in the joints and muscles.

To relieve pressure and irritation in the nerves, arteries, and blood vessels.

To build a healthy blood stream.

So did the cleanse work? I have no idea yet, but I feel great! The first 2 days were hard, but after that I have felt really good. I have had plenty of energy and been headache free! When I had Rachel I lost a lot of blood and had to have a blood transfusion. Even so, after the transfusion my blood level dropped again. I lost a lot of blood when I delivered Becca as well. The cleanse claims to help correct the loss of blood.

"Its iron (from lemons) builds the red corpuscles to rapidly correct the most common forms of anemia."

Anywho you might think I am crazy, but I promise I'm not :). If you have any questions or want to try the cleanse for yourself, google "The Master Cleanse." Stanley Burroughs is the guy who came up with this cleanse. I do not agree with the diet he teaches. He claims that meat and animal products are to blame for our poor health. I believe that it is all the processed food science projects that we eat everyday that have screwed our bodies up. I mean, come on, non fat butter? You have to wonder what chemicals and other things have gone into that poor "non fat butter". Just use your logic: non fat butter doesn't exist! If it came from a lab then I am pretty sure that "real butter" is better for you to eat. I am a full believer in eating meat and real animal products. Don't get me wrong though I still eat things like spaghettios (I love that stuff:) I am far from perfect when it comes to eating good food. Ok coming off my soap box now. Thanks for reading, it got kind of long.
