My name is Jaison Greene and I dreaded going the doctor's office probably more than anyone I know...
Why You Should
You’ve witnessed my humbling losses, bitter struggles and eventual shining triumph over boredom, hunger pangs, tinnitus, homicidal dooky breath and shag carpet tongue to feeling and looking the best I’ve ever felt in my entire 40 years on the planet.
You could say I’m very glad I did this.
But before I go on to even greater heights of health and wellness, I offer you a few nuggets:
Read. Burroughs is good and you should definitely use it as a starting point. Download his manifesto (download here) and absorb as much as you can.
However, the world has learned a lot more about this famous diet since then and there are lots of excellent resources that are much better suited for the “people who run around like chickens with their heads cut-off” lifestyle.
One of my biggest objections to doing the MC was protein — the lack of it — during the MC. It’s a real downside to doing the MC and to many who consider the MC, the “no protein” thing is a definite dealbreaker.
Master Cleanse Secrets solves the protein dilemma without challenging the effectiveness of the MC. In fact, this inexpensive, easy-to-find-at-any-local-juice-bar green “super food” gives you protein AND reduces the side effects of the MC.
This book is loaded with everything you want to know about doing the MC for the first or fifty-first time.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- The two main reasons people don’t finish the MC, and
how to easily overcome them (p. 17); - Four things you can do to ease the side effects of the MC (p. 49);
- What’s Hoodia got to do with it? (p. 18);
- What Epsom salts and Aloe vera gel have in common (p. 43); and
- Optimizing your body’s four main detoxification systems (p. 62)
Don’t deviate from the core recipe (unless you can’t stomach OJ like me) or the measurements especially and then wonder why it’s not working or what went wrong.
The worse thing you can do is not follow directions and then blame everyone for yourself when it does work. Plus, the more you know the more you can help others through the knots, which will in turn bolster your own confidence.
If you’re serious and wanna do this thing the right way and save yourself a lot of frustration and heartache, buy Master Cleanse Secrets today. ‘Nuff said.
Make it right. Organic only. Organic lemons, organic cayenne pepper, organic (non-formaldehyde) grade B maply syrup, distilled, spring or filtered water only. Drink at least 8-10 8oz glasses a day. Use fresh lemons at room temp for best taste and highest level of nutrition. Not reconstituted nor from concentrate. Don’t. Lemons are the key ingredient of the MC, treat them accordingly. I
If you work like most of us and can’t get 10 days off in row, delay premixing the MC until you’re about to walk out the door for the day. Don’t make it the night before to “save time”. You’ll only short yourself of the maximum benefit in the end.
Suck it up. Chug it down. The SWF is secret weapon catalyst of the MC. You get instant results and can see for yourself how well the MC is working on a daily basis. This is the least favorite part for many. I hated it too at first until I got to looking forward to the taste of salt to break up the montony of lemonade.
Pinch your nose, close your eyes and pretend its soup, chug it down, do whatever it takes. It’s crucial to rinse your bowels to expose a new layer of toxic sludge for the MC to attack. You take a shower daily (hopefully), why not do the same for your insides?
Stay gold. You will undoubtedly experience some discomfort on both the physical and emotional level. This is totally normal. Look for the positives in the world around you. Don’t let doubt or hunger pangs drag you down.
Most importantly, STAY AWAY FROM NEGATIVE NAYSAYERS. If they can’t share in or respect your choice to live healthier, leave them be.
Find a good rhythm. the faster you can get into a good routine with the MC, the more likely you’ll make it through. I would get up, drikn a glass of warm water to flush my kidneys and bladder, wait a few minutes and mix n guzzle the SWF, meditate for 12 minutes on the couch facing east; runto the can to release the first wave of SWF runoff; stay put for 20 more minutes on the can reading emails on my Crackberry; shower, dress, whip up a batch of MC and roll out.
Chill. if you’re a gym rat or a great outdoors man or woman, chill. The MC is all about healing from within and letting your body repair itself. it needs as few outside stresses as possible.
Light yoga is also a good look. It incorporates relaxation, breathing and meditation. Yoga opens up your joints and improves circulation, which means more cells are getting the cleansing benefits of the MC — all good.
Drink water. Obvious enough, right? But it’s especially crucial to drink at least 1/2 your weight a day. (e.g., 200 lbs = 100 oz). Headaches and nausea are the two biggest reasons people drop out within the first 3 days. More water minimizes both.
Toxins stirred up by the MC need a way out of the body and there aren’t any empty dump trucks around because you’re not drinking enough water. There’s no excuse not to driink it since it’s everywhere most all the time. Trust me, you won’t thin your blood out or get ‘waterlogged’. Just drink it.
Brush. Your skin with a dry loofah or back brush to improve circulation and eliminate dead skin cells. Bruch you’re teeth and gums with become quite intimate with the toxic layer of tongue fur that grows pretty much on the first day. Brushing often and, more importantly, tongue scraping with regularity will keep you and your most precious beloveds happy.
Blot. Let’s face it all that shitting and ass wiping will soon leave you sore and irritated. Gently blotting with pure aloe vera gel worked for me. Also, if you have little ones around, sang some of their all natural diaper ointment and dab away. Old shit hurts.
Stay open. Keep a journal. As your outlook brightens and your mood elevates, detail the transformation. You’ll learn more about yourself than you can imagine. Read other MC blogs and posts on the web. Experience is the best teacher. There are many other who have travelled this path. Follow and then start your own branch that’s best suited for you.
This is something a little extra for those of you that were paying attention well enough to realize that you had no clue what the hell I was talking about in some of the posts in My Master Cleanse.
Terms. There were many days (in the beginning especially) when I was, well, let’s just say I felt like I’d gone “completely out of my effing mind”. Perhaps that feeling is not unfamiliar to you?
So, I figured I should add a page which translated all the abbreviations used throughout My Master Cleanse:
MC = Master Cleanse
SWF = Saltwater Flush
SM = Smoove Move Laxative tea
PT/MT = Peppermint/Mint tea
Beloved = Lover, partner, husband or wife who doesn’t walk out on you once the bathroom becomes completely uninhabitable.
GI = Gastroinstestinal tract aka Your Guts
Oh, one more thing…
I’m no doctor nor am I a licensed practitioner of any kind. B ut I am a guinea pigs of sorts. In my effort to heal myself from some pretty ruinous childhood health challenges, I’ve tried a whole host of “alternative” or “holistic” therapies and regimens.
The MC has given me the opportunity to finally live a life free from asthma, allergies and chronic IBS.
My results and beliefs espoused in these blog entries are my experiences, opinions and conclusions based on common sense and first hand observation. This is not qualified medical advice.
Thanks for reading.
