Master Cleanse

• One of the most popular 10-day detox diets is the Master Cleanse. This diet has been around since the 1970s but is still considered a fad by many people. It has gotten a lot of attention as many stars, like Beyonce, have used it for rapid weight loss as well as detoxing.
  
  The protocol for the Master Cleanse is as follows. Every day of the cleanse you limit your intake to 1,200 calories that are consumed from a lemonade mixture. The lemonade is made from lemon juice and maple syrup mixed with a pinch of cayenne pepper in a couple liters of water. This is all you will consume over the 10-day period. As well as limiting your diet, you also drink a laxative tea or a salt water flush that helps wash out your colon. After 10 days of this combination of diet and flushing, you eliminate all residual waste from your colon. The secondary effect of this diet is that you are also completely cutting out other substances, like caffeine and alcohol.
  
  The first few days of this diet are often quite difficult as people report being very hungry and having headaches. People who make it through the initial phase do report it gets easier and that at the end of the 10 days they not only have lost weight but feel clean and refreshed.
  
  

Colonics

• A colonic is a procedure where a hose is inserted into the rectum to flush out the colon. Warm saline or different herbal mixes are pumped gently into the colon then suctioned out. This is done repeatedly to remove fecal matter that may have become impacted on the colon lining. When this is done in conjunction with the Master Cleanse it can be very detoxifying. The Master Cleanse empties your colon while the colonic flushes the lining.
