Master Cleanse

So as I sit here eating peppermint ice cream Dustin probably stumbled on in the grocery store (which...i cannot tell a lie, is very tasty), I keep coming back to the same idea I had a few months ago about starting the master cleanse. It's basically a detox that was thought up back in the 50's. I've always been into to doing things to push my body and I couldnt help but think what would happen if I did this.

here is a little about it ala Wikipedia:
The Master Cleanse, also known as the Lemon Cleanse and the Maple Syrup Diet, was created by Stanley Burroughs in 1941 and later popularized by Peter Glickman in his book (2005) Lose Weight, Have More Energy and Be Happier in 10 Days. .^[1] Burroughs states that it is a detoxification program that aids in the removal of harmful toxins from within the body, as well as a reducing diet for loss of weight,^[2] and a cure for ulcers^[2] and "every kind of disease,"^[2] resulting in "the correction of all disorders."^[2]

The Master Cleanse claims to be a way to cleanse the body of toxins and remove the cravings associated with drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and eating junk food. "Coffee, tea, and various cola drinks, as habit-forming beverages, also lose their appeal through the marvels of the lemonade diet."^[2] The cleanse involves drinking only lemonade made from fresh lemon or lime juice, Grade B maple syrup, water and Cayenne pepper. No solid food is eaten for the entire cleanse. The master cleanse is technically not a "fast" and proponents say it is more gentle on the body because it does contain some essential vitamins and minerals. According to proponents it is recommended to be on the cleanse for a minimum of ten days, but some people stay on the cleanse for longer periods of time, even as long as 45 days.^[3]

Since there is no intake of solid food, special precautions are taken to avoid constipation. Sennasaline is required. This passes through the digestive system extremely quickly, usually causing defecation in 30-60 minutes. It is essential to go off of the cleanse slowly. The lack of solid foods for such long periods requires careful breaking, as gut flora need to re-develop and mucus linings re-build. This usually involves drinking "full strength" juices for a day or two, while slowly adding in soups, then fruit, vegetables and nuts before resuming a regular diet.^[2][3] Some individuals have returned to their healthy diet the following day after stopping the program without any problems, but this is rare and not recommended, especially for first timers.^{[citation needed]} tea is taken every night, and in the morning warm

Now I just need to stop making excuses to putting it off....
