Читать книгу Lose Weight, Have More Energy and Be Happier in 10 Days - Peter Glickman - Страница 14

The Master Cleanse should be done for at least ten days. Burroughs says it can be done for forty or more days. I’ve personally done it more than nine times from ten to twenty-eight days (and once for three days)—all within two years. Burroughs is right about ten days being the minimum. The three-day Master Cleanse left me feeling as though nothing had been accomplished. I can hear you saying, “Ten days?! Is he crazy?” Amazingly, you will not be hungry and you will have more energy than you felt before the Master Cleanse.

In addition to my own longer Master Cleanses, I know of three other people who have done it for twenty days. All of us found that there were spiritual gains after eight or ten days: a clarity of purpose, a sense of focus, a feeling of well being, and a discovery that our natural emotion is one of cheerful satisfaction.

Burroughs says the best sign that the Master Cleanse is complete is a clear, pink tongue. Your tongue will definitely get coated and turn white and possibly other colors. Not everyone continues until their tongue is clear and pink. If you want to quit sooner, you can. The Master Cleanse is not like a school grade that you only do once. You can do it three or four times a year, each time detoxing more. Most stop at ten days

regardless of tongue color. However, ten days is long enough to make a major change in your weight, health and mental outlook.

How soon can you do another Master Cleanse? It’s best to space out your Master Cleanses by three or four months and eat lots of fresh greens and salads in between or drink daily green smoothies. You need to build up your calcium, magnesium and potassium reserves because the body uses those alkaline minerals to neutralize the toxins before they are eliminated. Very rarely (three out of a thousand), a person has done a Master Cleanse every month for several months in a row, which resulted in temporary hair loss. It was handled by taking lots of vitamins and minerals, but it is better to avoid that.

Refined sugar reduces calcium in the bones and teeth as the body needs to balance the blood chemistry after eating sugar, and it uses calcium to do that, which it will pull from the teeth and bones if there is no alkaline mineral reserve. Perhaps the epidemic of osteoporosis is no more than the popularity of a diet with too much sugar and not enough fresh, raw greens! By the way, milk is not a good source of calcium for building reserves. It is too hard for most people to digest it.
