Some people have illnesses that require the careful use of juices. In this case Stanley Burroughs' "The Master Cleanser" program is of great value. This cleanse is designed to cleanse the Lymphatics or Lymph System.

The Master Cleanser program is built around the idea of a therapeutic fast. A lemonade drink consisting of Fresh Lemon Juice, Cayenne Tincture or Powder, Grade B* Organic Maple Syrup and Water are all that are consumed daily for a minimum of 10 days to a maximum of 40 days. The lemonade drink is freshly made each day as follows:

· Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon

· 2 Tbs. Grade B* Maple Syrup
organic Black Strap Molasses may be used only in the event Maple Syrup is not avalible

· 5-15 drops of liquid Cayenne Tincture (at least 90,000 Heat Units). Alternatively 1/8 th to 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Powder can be used in place of Cayenne Tincture. Please note Cayenne Pepper Powder will either float or sink to the bottom of each glass. Liquid Cayenne Tincture is best to use as it will stay in solution.

· 8 oz of hot distilled or filtered water (catalyst activated is best)

Heat distilled or filtered water using a stove. Do not use a microwave to heat your water as that imparts an electrical energy to the water that is not natural and to which a sick body is sensitive. Once the 8 oz of water is hot add 1-5 drops of Willard Water (if available) to activate the water. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice into the catalyst activated water. Add the Grade B* Maple Syrup and Cayenne Tincture or Powder. Mix often as you drink it to evenly suspend the cayenne pepper if you use the pepper powder. You may use Cayenne Tincture in place of Cayenne Powder. This way you don't have to keep stirring to keep the powder in suspension.

You may drink as many glasses per day as you desire but always drink a minimum of at least five glasses.

*Grade B maple syrup is a dark amber, unrefined maple syrup with all many trace minerals. This syrup grade is not filtered or preserved with formaldehyde as most processed sugars are and has a rich full maple taste with caramel-like overtones. If unavailable ask your health food store to order it for you because this grade of maple syrup is important for this program. Grade B* Organic Maple Syrup is always available at Spirit of Healing.You may also use organic Black Strap Molases or organic Sorghum in place of organic Maple syrup. Always use Maple syrup if available as this will yield best results.

Eat NO FOOD on the Master Cleanser program. Also avoid all supplements. You may drink peppermint tea and as much water as you wish. The Master Cleanser fast may be continued for up to 40 days or as directed by your health care advisor but usually fasting for this length of time is unnecessary. Most cleansing occurs within the first two weeks.

This cleanse helps.

-Dissolve and eliminates toxins and congestion that have formed in any part of the body
-Cleanses the kidneys and the digestive system
-Purifies the glands and cells
-Eliminates all unusable waste and hardened material in the joints and muscles
-Builds a healthy blood stream
-Helps eliminate excess body weight

Fasting for 1-2 days a month on this drink can be very cleansing and rejuvenating.

The Master Cleanser drink has no fiber for elimination, so it may be necessary to use an herbal laxative twice a day. This will help to remove the waste as it is being shed from the colon wall and the waste that is being removed by the liver. Otherwise, waste may stay in the bowels leading to tiredness, headaches and other detoxification symptoms.

Vega-Lax is suggested to keep the bowels moving.
