Enjoy a Healthier Body in Just 10 days by Eliminating Years of Accumulated Toxins Naturally…
(And this is known as Master Cleanse)
Master Cleanse is created way back in the 1941 by an alternative medicine practitioner, Stanley Burroughs, as a detoxification and weight loss diet. Unlike other diets, Master Cleanse has stood the test of time for over 70 years as people embarking on the Master Cleanse has benefited in many different ways. But if you care about losing fat and at the same time be healthy, watch this video presentation by Emma, a bestselling diet author, to find out about the 3 Nutritional Principles to Lose Weight & Be Healthy.
As millions of visitors have visited our website and thousands of participants have joined us in the Master Cleanse, here are some of the amazing benefits the participants have feedback to us…
In just a short 40 days, Abigale has lost a total of 35 pounds, no more neck pain & experienced more energy!
Of course, in this case, she has overdone it by exceeding the standard 10 days. Here’s the first day of her Master Cleanse.
Before
You can see that for her first day, she had a lot of fats around her belly. But wait till you see her belly after 40 days of Master Cleanse.
After
Take a closer look at her energy level too. She’s still quite energetic after 40 days of Master Cleanse despite not eating much. We hope this should convince you about the power of Master Cleanse.
Back in 2006, Master Cleanse has won recognition in the Oprah Winfrey’s show when Beyonce Knowles shared her weight loss secrets that helped her lose over 20 pounds.
As such, our website conducted several surveys and simple research by welcoming over thousands of master cleansers to send their feedback, questions, problems, and comments they faced on the master cleanse. With this, we hope to capture all the different effects that each of our human body would face.
Together with all the emails sent to us, we have also unintentionally found out some of the mistakes most cleansers make that affect the success of their cleanse.
In short, there are 3 main factors that affect the success or how you experience in your master cleanse.
- Every human body is different. Our DNA is different, our bodies are different, what we eat daily, our metabolic rate, all of these contribute to how our body would react when we do the Master Cleanse.For example…
- Irregular bowel eliminations – Some master cleansers experience no bowel movements or even diarrhea for several days. You want to make sure that there is no irregular bowel movements for more than 2 to 3 days and there are several ways to get you back on track.
- Different people would encounter different detox symptoms like headaches, cough, flu, aches. Most are just common detox symptoms but you want to keep it under control too. Do you know what to do when these detox symptoms doesn’t go away?
- Misinterpret the instructions or lack of accurate information
- Misinterpreted the instructions - You may have the master cleanse book or all the instructions, but you may misinterpret the instructions. For instance, you may have used the wrong proportion of the ingredients.
- Lack of accurate Master Cleanse instructions - Most people try to do the master cleanse just by reading the instructions online. Some may be accurate while other information may be wrong – Unable to differentiate which are accurate and which are not. You don’t want to do the master cleanse wrongly as it may lead to serious health consequences.
- Not following the instructions
For some reasons, you don’t follow the exact instructions. For instance, you skip the laxative tea or the salt water flush. Or you hate the cayenne pepper and don’t add the cayenne pepper at all.
To help you to cope with the Master Cleanse, you can subscribe for our master cleanse newsletter below and discover how you can overcome these ‘problems’.

I’m corrently taken B/P medication would this create a problem for me?
Hi Corinne, we are afraid we cannot answer this question for you. You would need to ask your doctor as he is the one who understand your body very well. However, it would be better to avoid complications by not mixing the 2 medications together.
I AM GOING TO TRY IT IT FOR 3 DAYS THE FIRST TIME. WHEN THE 3 DAYS ARE COMPLETED CAN I GO BACK TO EATING SOLID FOOD RIGHT AWAY.
AFter the initial 10 day how long will I have wait to do the ten days again?
hi i’ve been on this diet before and it proved successful except i didn’t do it right but still was very happy with the results, it would’ve been better if i had it right at first, anyway how can you have that many bowel movements when all you are taking in are liquids, apart from the once a day salt water flush?
hi, its my first day and Ive never been this hungry in my life. I feel if i quit now and restart tomorrow while better prepared that i will teach myself to quitting is that easy.. Should i quit and prepare myself better or should i suffer and just try and get it over with the next three days.
I have breast fibercyctics are have been in a lot of pain because of it. Is this cleanse something that could possibly something that could help?
Would Morton Natual Sea Salt work for salt water flush out? Does it have to be a specific kind of sea salt? It didn’t work when I drank warm water with two teaspoons of Morton Natural Sea Salt (this salt does not supply iodide). Is there something wrong?
I’m starting tomorrow but I thought the ingridients were just lemon juice maple syrup cayenne pepper and water and now I read that I have to put the laxative tea and sea salt? Am I reading wrong?
@wendy : no you are not reading wrong.. you would need to have laxative tea and sea salt to help you with the daily elimination so as to cleanse your body.
@Kendra:
I haven’t done this lemonade cleanse but I have overcome breast fibercyctics. had 20-40 in each breast and I was scared out of my mind, not to mention in a great amount of pain. My Dr recomended that I cut down on caffine so that is what I did, in fact, I cut out caffine altogether. I needed to be more proactive than that so I also replaced all of the dairy I consumed with organic dairy products (dairy is stuffed full of hormones our bodies don’t need).
Within 2 monthes time, my breasts were back to normal and the problem has never reoccurred and I have created some very benificial habits as a result.
Life without caffine…who knew it would be so nice!!!!
Best of Health,
Alicia
hi, is there a laxative tea that doesn’t contain senna leaf? last time i tried the cleanse, it was REALLY painful for me to drink the laxative tea.. i read that some people have sensitivity to the senna leave.. is there an alternative tea?
let me know, thanks!
i am in day 3 and really have not had many bm’s. I just realised that salt water drink may be the reason why?? I have been doing a laxative tea daily (in am) must i do the salt water too?
@deb: yes, you would need to do the salt water flush every morning. the laxative tea is not sufficient and you would require the salt water flush to have more bm.
I started the cleanse today. Is it possible to take the cayenne pepper separately? The taste of it makes m stomach turn!
@Monica : It would be best if you could get use to it by adding the cayenne pepper bit by bit in the beginning.
I’m just complete my 4th day and have been using molasses instead of maple syrup and the only laxative has been pills at night before going to bed. I’ve lost weight and have several Bowel Movements during the day. It seems like every time I drink the lemonade, within an hour I have BMs. When I get the urge, I’m on a dead run to the toilet! So far so good, it might work better if I added the salt water flush first thing in the morning but decided not to. Is there a big benefit to doing this 10 days compared to 5 days?
@Franksr : Whoa.. you changed the entire recipe! Molasses instead of maple syrup and u didn’t do the salt water flush as well. It’s much better to do 10 days because your entire system would get thoroughly cleansed.
Im starting my cleanse next monday and wanted to know whats the minimum weight loss for the first few days that anyone has heard before?
I am currently on my 3rd day and ok. I am craving food just the actual process of chewing I miss but not hungry. I am however having a hard time not eating fresh tomatoes that are picked out of my garden. I just have to be strong. I am doing the flushes at night instead of morning d/t work. They are definitely working. I am drinking the tea but do not experience the same effect as the flush. I hope I can make it at least 6 or 7 days but pushing for 10.
is it still safe to work out while doing the master cleanse
I’ve been on the Master Cleanse for 8 days now and am seeing awesome results! I have lost 9lbs and feel so much better internally and externally. The food cravings have been somewhat of a challenge but they pass quickly once I take my focus off of it or drink another glass of lemonade mixture. I do have a couple questions that I’ve wondered about as I have been on the cleanse.
1. Is it normal for one to experience less in their BMs as they get closer to the end of the cleanse?
2. Does it make a difference in the cleanse if you take several glasses of the lemonade mixture at once a couple of times a day verses spreading them out throughout the day?
3. It is advised to get organic lemons and then clearly stated to never refrigerate them. What if the organic lemons are in an open refrigerated section at the grocery store? And the non-organic lemons are not refrigerated at all? Which is better to purchase?
I am on Day 4 and going strong, however i will admit that yesterday was the worst for me so far. Everything I seen wanted to knock at my mouths door and come in. I have lost about 6 pounds and it is coming off slower than at first averaging about a pound a day. I can also say that the BM are working too.
@Grace :
1. Normally that’s the case when near the end of the cleanse.
2. What do you think? Does it make a lot of difference if you eat 3 meals all at one shot or spread it out throughout the days?
3. I don’t think refrigerated would have any impact on the organic lemon, they are just trying to make it last longer. I would still purchase the organic lemons.
Hope this helps!
I am on day 5 with 3 1/2 pounds. BM is just 30 minutes in the morning after the Salt Water flush. Feeling great but don’t know what to expect.
Oops: I have been drinking on average 6 to 10 (10 oz servings) glasses a day but 2 at one time at work.
Question: Will my BM become clear within the 10 day period? Also, everytime I drink the lemonade I have to urinate and no BM until the flush.
I am a person that eat hot food on a regular basis and I have been drinking coconut and aloe water. Not sure of the result but will continue for the next 5 days.
I’m on Day 7 and suffer from Psoriasis but I’m curious whether the Cayenne pepper is doing more harm than good though. I love spicy foods however I’m reading a book about what the leading causes are for Psoriasis and nightshade plants are one thing to stay away from. Unfortunately Cayenne is a nightshade plant. Not wanting to say anything bad about the diet because it really is doing wonders but does anyone know whether or not this diet is the best for someone with psoriasis like me?
WHATS A SALT FLUSH? RECIPE? IM STARTING MINE TODAY.
I read the book before starting the cleanse and it said I could decrease the amount of maple syrup if I’m overweight, which I did adn drank 6 glasses a day. I also continued my exercise routine. By the 5th day I was past the stages of cleansing and was already recovering from all the mucus, skin bumps and my tongue was getting pinker. On the 6th day I quit. I was frustrated because although I felt cleansed, I lost only ONE measly pound. I had hoped to go from overweight to normal weight and lose the weight I gained during my previous pregnancy 3 years ago. Where did I go wrong?
I am starting my cleanse today and will look online for a salt cleanse receipe and perhaps try the molassa I crave salt so perhaps the salt cleanse will be best for me
I have never tried a cleanse before so am a little scared because I have to work and need the energy so need to feel great every day
With Gods help this will work for me
I’m starting the cleanse tomorrow and was wondering how everyone gets past the initial taste of the lemonade. I’m a little worried about how I’m going to get 6 to 10 glasses down every day.
i am on day 5 and i do not have hunger pains… but i do have a runny nose, sore throat and slight headache…. is there anything i can take?! will this last long?
I had a friend substitute lime for the lemons, not sure if its allowed he liked the flavor better and 21 days he lost 28 pounds. Hope it helps
can i do this on my period
I started the cleanse yesterday, but messed up. I am re-starting today, but cannot stand the c. pepper. Can I leave it out and still get the same results?
I am now on day 3 and bought c. pepper capsules to take with drinks. Yesterday was fine, no problems, but today I’m feeling a little hungry.
Day 8: Yesterday I started to develop a rash along my neck and jawline, is this a normal way for the lymph-nodes to release toxins?
I just started my first day on master cleanse and just finished doing the salt water flush. It took me 45 min to drink the 30 oz of salt water. 15 min later I had my first bowel movement. It wasn’t very much and now 45 more min have gone by and I’ve had no more bm’s. I was told that I have be on the toilet for an hour the first time I did this. But that did not happen. Am I doing something wrong. Or is this normal?
Thanks
Day 15: Feeling great at some point everyday food is tempting, day 11 and 12 I drank pedialyte felt as though I had a electrolyte imbalance going on.
I’M ON DAY 6, AND I HAVEN’T FELT THIS ENERGY THAT OTHER PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE, ALSO I’VE BEEN HAVING LIQUID BM EVER SINCE, IS THIS NORMAL? I BOUGHT THE BOOK AND DID RESEARCH BEFORE STARTING AND I’M FALLOWING THE INSRUCTIONS, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT’S NOT WORKING. IS THIS CLEANSE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY ON A RAW DIET? I’M PRETTY HEALTHY BUT A LITTLE OVERWEIGHT, AND I EAT YOUR AVERAGE AMERICAN DIET. NOT SURE IF I’VE LOST WEIGHT OR NOT, I’M AFRAID IF I DIDN’T LOOSE ANY I WOULD STOP THE CLEANSE. BUT I DO FEEL LIGHTER!
@ Joanna…Obviously there is no way to measure an “energy surge”…so how can u tell if u are feeling what others have felt. Maybe u feel the same as them, but u just dont view it the same way.
@ Mark: Congrats on your 15 days…but what the heck is an electrolyte imbalance? lol What does that feel like?
@Susie, I dont know why u would expect u could leave out cayenne pepper & still get the same results. ALL THE INGREDIENTS ARE THERE FOR A REASON.
No offense, but ITS TIRING TO ME LISTENING TO PEOPLE WHINE ABOUT THE TASTE OF 1/10 OF A TEASPOON OF CAYENNE PEPPER!!!!
It really doesnt taste any different to most hot peppers to me. In Western society, we seem to have all become LITTLE WHINY BABIES! lol.
We are sooo used to our comfort zone, the minute, something taste slightly different, we wanna WHINE, MOAN, PUNK OUT or find easier alternatives.
Life is about Challenges. When u overcome or endure, u come out stronger and with greater faith and self confidence
I started the cleanse today! I drank the sea salt water flush this morning and I only drink about 8oz and I had a BM. I’m going on Lemonade drink #5… I’m only doing 6 a day.. I haven’t had a BM but I have had a lot of urine…. I’m experiencing a slight head ache…. But hopefully it will be gone by morning! I’m looking forward to another BM, weird but I love the challenge!!
Doug,
I had severe psoriasis. I cane across the book cooking gluten free for dummies. Started the gluten free diet march 1, 2010. Threw everything out of my cabinet & frig. with any preservatives or glutens. Started the healing process. Aug 1,2010 started the mung been cleanse.I use hot peppers and cayenne. I am almost 98% psoriasis free. The cayenne is an important ingred. Hopefully this next cleanse will remove all other toxins. Good luck.
ps. if you drink alcohol. you have to quite completely.If I do drink now I drink only 100% white tequilla with only fresh fruit.
Corinne, I’m amazed at your results. Did you do the salt water flush. I can’t handle doing that. What do you mean by getting 1200 calories. How much of the lemonade does that equate to approximately?
Another 32 lbs probably wouldn’t hurt.
Hi, I was wondering can you use hot water when making the lemonade? Or will this kill the enzymes in the lemons? I am a huge tea drinker and hot liquids calms my appetite but I’m worried it will counteract the effects.
I am allergic to tea.. can I do the salt water flush in the morning and at night instead of doing the tea lax?
I’m 5’5 195. If I follow the program correctly, how much weight can I expect to lose?
I am not pregnant now, but actively planning for kids. Can I still do master cleanse. Does it have any negative effects (like delaying the chances for pregnancy?) I really want to do the cleanse and need a suggestion on this
I did this a couple of years ago for 9 days and lost 17 lbs. It works great and I’m about to start it again and see how much longer I can go this year!
@ Hyma:
I did the master cleanse for only 5 days. I have a lot of toxins and usually cannot seem to handle the detox symptoms well (it makes me feel very sick), which is why I quit early. You asked if this will cause a delay in pregnancy and I say “absolutely not”! My hormones are out of balance and it seems I have troubles becoming pregnant. I got pregnant IMMEDIATELY after ending the master cleanse. Cleansing simply makes your body more efficient and work the way it is supposed to.
