diet'
Will I feel hungry?

and vitamins, you will not suffer from hunger
pangs.
What if I feel hungry?
The lemonade is a true 'appetite
suppressant', but when you feel hungry, drink
a little of the lemonade. On a personal note, I
usually keep a thermo with lemonade for
those moments of weakness... a small sip of
the lemonade reminds me of how wonderful I
now feel.
Will I feel sick during the diet?
You may feel a stirring in your system for the
first two-three days, but this is the result of
toxins circulating in your blood stream as the
body goes through its first stages of the
cleanse. Keep right on the diet! don't
cheat...You can do it! after the third day, your
energy will increase and you will start seeing
the benefits.

suggested.)

going back to a full diet for another 10-12
days.
Does the diet supply the nutrients necessary
for the body?
Yes, the lemons and limes provides the

any food. Maple has a large variety of
minerals and vitamins, and the Cayenne

Yes, adding the cayenne pepper to the
lemonade is necessary as it breaks up
mucus and increases warmth by building the

Laxative Herb Tea both morning and
evening. You need to have 2/3 or more
movements a day, this step is needed to
remove toxins loosened by the lemon juice
cleanse. As
laxatives are additive and somewhat harmful
to the system, we suggest to use Triphala as

laxative. Read Dr. Weils'article about
laxatives.

designed to support the body's natural
cleansing process. Triphala has been one of

herbalism for thousands of years...see more

What about enemas, are they suggested
during the fasting?
Quoting from the MCB page 21'Do not take
enemas or colonics at any time during the
cleansing diet or afterwards. They are
unnecessary and can be extremely harmful'
Mr. Burroughs recommends the Salt Water
Bathing as a way of a cleaning the colon.
What is the Salt Water Flush/Bathing?
This is the method for cleaning the colonic
tract without harmful effects of colonics and
enemas. It is prepared with uniodized sea
salt, and taken in and empty stomach in the
morning.

with the Salt Water Bathing:
No, one or the other.

Bathing?

wash the entire tract in about one hour.
Several eliminations will likely occur. Give
yourself at least and hour and half before
going out.

washing of the entire digestive system.
What can I do about cramping from the
laxative?
Mild cramping is normal, but try changing to a
different laxative. The one being offer in our

also add a peppermint tea bag to your herbal
laxative, this really helps!

feel fresh, what can I do?
This is a reaction as the body is experiencing
a change by eliminating toxins. Your tongue
will start clearing and will turn a healthy pink
as your cleansing progresses. Mint tea may
be used occasionally during the diet. The
chlorophyll in mint tea helps as a purifier,
neutralizing mouth and body odors that are
released during the cleansing period.
My skin feels dry, why?
Once again this is due to the changes your
body is experiencing. Pamper yourself! a hot
herbal bath with emollient oils will do
wonders.
I'm getting back pains, why?

is a sign of dehydration; increase your water
intake. Some people known to have kidney
stones have experienced passing the stones
during the cleanse.

headache indicates dehydration and low
blood sugar; drink a glass of water mixed
