Master Cleanse 4 ~ Day 2

Today was MUCH better. If anyone was praying for me out there, I bless you for it, It's unusual for things to get much better until after the first 3 days. Typically there's some pain as you release toxins through the cleanse. The first 3 days are the most painful as the body adjusts to living without food. It makes me wonder how many of you were praying for me as I was totally not expecting it to be better yet. Now, this does not mean that I'm hoping you won't pray for me tomorrow. :)

I got to turn windrows this morning in the alfalfa field. I JUST LOVE HELPING WITH HAY MAKING!!!!!!!! Being these windrows were rained on, they needed to be turned so that they'd dry out before baling. The smell of freshly mown hay is one of my favorite smells, so I was enjoying myself thoroughly. THEN THE WIND PICKED UP. It started blowing the lighter windrows all over the place, after I turned them with the wheel rack. I had to quit then and I made lunch which was ALSO appreciated.

I did 3 Bodytalk sessions for clients after lunch. I so love helping people in this way and it is healing for me as well. When I can see someone come to peace with something that they've struggled with for decades, it gives me the courage to keep working on myself. Every once in a while I think, "I don't need any more BodyTalk." That's when the Lord shows me some sin in my life, or some weakness, and I realize that He's still working on me. :)

Well, I decided to ask again if anyone would like to go on the Master Cleanse with me. If you're interested, please spend a little time at the website listed on my sidebar. If you decide to do the 10 day cleanse, you'll be a little bit behind me but many people do it for 3 days or more. It would be so nice to know that I am taking care of my health in this way with OTHERS who are feeling called to do so.

Anyway, this is what you do. If you're going to do the cleanse for 10 days, you need to prepare your body for it in this way. One day you eat a full meal and drink the lemonade (recipe to follow) for the other 2 meals. The second day you eat a large salad or veggies or fruit for one meal and drink lemonade for 2 meals. The third day you drink fruit or vegetable juices for one meal and drink lemonade for 2 meals. From there on out, you drink the lemonade for all 3 meals. You eat NOTHING for the 2 days that you are on the cleanse. Then, for 3 more days you come out of the cleanse slowly by reversing what you did going into it.

I have done this 3 times now except that I drank the lemonade for 15 days instead of 10. Keep in mind that I had a major health problem that I was trying to help my body to overcome. Many people only do this for a few days and reap the benefit of overcoming minor troubles that they have struggled with for years. After the third cleanse last year, my brain was almost completely healed from the shingles on it!!! I was soooo happy as I never dreamed, even with BodyTalk, that my brain would be able to recover from the nightmare it endured in 2006--2007.

Now I press on with the hopes that my memory will be completely restored to me. Also I pray that the pain in my neck and shoulders, which have been my constant companions for the past 4 years, will completely disappear. I can tell that the cleanse IS working in that area as there has been some pretty intense pain for a few days. Have I ever mentioned how I stuff clove capsules to deal with the pain?

Anyway, I urge you to ponder coming along with me, if only for a few days. This is a phenomenal healing tool. I would love to have you join me and it would make the days go more quickly for me if I would have someone to talk to about it. PLEASE be in prayer about this and, if you decide to do the cleanse, double please let me know so that we can keep in touch.

Here's the recipe for the lemonade by the pitcher. Fill your blender half full with warm water.

1.Put into it 1/2 of a large or 1 small lemon (organic is best but they're hard to find around here) which you have taken the outer skin off of.

2. Add 3/4 cup grade me organic Grade B maple syrup. I can recommend the place with the best price if anyone is interested. It must be Grade B because Grade A has had another processing which removes the nutrients that the body needs to sustain life for so long without food.

3. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the hottest cayenne pepper you can find. Mind is 140,000 heat units. If you can't find it that hot, then add more.

Blend these together and add warm water up to the top of the blender after it is mixed well. Drink this lemonade every time that you get hungry and the hunger goes away--IT REALLY WORKS!!!!!!

One also takes laxative herbal teas or does a salt flush (out for me now) to help the bowels to clean out all of the old junk which is contributing to poor health and pain. You can also drink any herbal teas to give you some variety, but the main source of nourishment is the lemonade.

As the cleanse progresses, you begin to feel better and better. There are always little bouts of pain or weariness, as the body releases toxins, but gradually these lessen and a pleasant healing sensation takes over your entire body. At one point I find myself thinking, "Why would anyone ever want to eat food?"

The e-book that I bought has great details included. I learned that it is best not to go over 15 days on the full cleanse, if you're trying to loose weight, as the body starts to go into starvation mode then and actually will start to put on weight. WHO WANTS THAT?

Well, I'm going to bed. It does make one more tired to cleanse so deeply. Then one MUST listen to the body and REST! I'm sure that all of you have read SOMETHING about resting for your health's sake--it too is a part of the Master Cleanse. So I bid you, "Good night" and I once again invite you to ponder if the Lord isn't urging you to come with me on this journey--at least part of the way.

Sleep well my dear friends,

Dawn
