The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade DietBy Tom Woloshyn
Summarized with permission of Ulysses Press.
PART ONE: Origin of the Master CleanseThe Master Cleanse is a gift to those many people who are looking for a simple, inexpensive, and amazingly effective way to improve their health and boost their sense of well-being (both physical and emotional). This amazing cleanse changes people's life from one of dis-ease to one of feeling healthy and whole.
Even in this age of supposed rationality, many people do not understand the simple concept of what causes and cures dis-ease. The allopathic medical system, also known as mainstream medicine makes every effort to discredit the alternative health care movement that has its roots in ancient folk treatments of many cultures. Dis-ease has its origins in the 14th century and implies the inability to rest comfortably and feel well. An increasing number of people in the holistic health field have learned that mind and body are connected and, therefore, the treatment of any dis-ease or illness must take into account both. The Master Cleanse works - when done correctly. It is essential to follow it exactly as it is explained in this book to reap the amazing rewards. As children, we usually were not given choices about the food we ate. We had to clean our plate so we could get dessert and eat every last bit because children in Africa were starving. We learned to numb our feelings, even our bodies, to cope, and so we adopted our parents' way of eating as our own lifestyle. The Master Cleanse will re-sensitize your body to whatever you put into it. In 1942, Stanley Burroughs was sitting down for dinner one evening and was inspired to write. He quickly jotted down the instructions for a Lemonade Diet (which later became the Master Cleanse). This sudden urge to write he later called "divine inspiration." Why Cleanse?Many medical professionals would say that the body can cleanse itself on its own, and that it doesn't need extreme cleaning. But would you never bathe your body during your entire life or wash your clothes? You deep clean your house and your bathroom, so why not your internal body?The current health care system in America make makes people feel powerless through fear and ignorance. Frightened, people look to authority figures and let them take control of their lives. People are herded into clinics or hospitals, blindly believing in those well-established and trusted institutions without ever questioning what they are putting themselves at risk to do or how well a recommended procedure or drug might work. Fight or Flight The body has a flight-or-flight mechanism, which has benefited us humans since the dawn of time. We either start running as fast as we can away from danger (say, a huge raptor, or a modern dis-ease), or we use whatever weapon we have at hand (a spear, or a drug vial) to fend off an attack. The truth is that there is nowhere safe for us to run, and no creature that we can actually fight. This way of approaching illness puts our animalistic mind in control rather that our reasoning minds. When a doctor diagnoses someone with cancer, they begin to panic. Some psychotherapists have suggested that when we face a significant and unresolved threat such as cancer, we unconsciously lock onto a deep memory we stored when a young child of the first time we faced a threat without having a parent to help us. We feel vulnerable and childlike in our responses. Putting Our Health in Other's HandsMany people are putty in their medical doctor's hands. When one is very ill, they give up their power and let someone else make all the decisions for them, without ever considering getting a second opinion or seeking out more information and alternatives.To do so, one has to be willing to draw outside the box, to go beyond the realms of daily experience, and seek out information from other sources. It is far easier these days, because of the Internet's vast worldwide resources and all of the information and books available. Can we really trust governmental agencies such as the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services to completely manage our health? Will we blindly accept their judgments, which are usually influenced by the very corporations and industries they regulate? Do we think they are doing a good enough job for us (remember, they work for us)?
