Shen’s Master Cleanse

So I wake at 5:45 to squish some lemons, so I have a recipe now:

96oz of Brita filtered water
24 tablespoons of lemon juice
24 tablespoons of maple syrup
a little more than 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

I didn’t do a SWF or laxative tea because I didn’t want to blow on the drive to work.

I had an hour meeting and didn’t have any Master Cleanse Lemonade until 9am, my stomach was grumbling!

Once I started drinking it, about 16 oz, I had to do the number 2. Nothing special, it was small but still normal.

I had two cups of my smooth move laxative tea.

I had 3 more dumps at work, the final one was practically like pissing our of my ass.

My stomach [intestines to be exact] were pretty painful for a few minutes, on and off. It felt pretty bad, also my anus felt hot and pepperminty. Not worse than the day after taco Tuesday and a bunch of jalepino peppers.

I only finished about 7 or 8 servings of the lemonade, I had the saltwater flush late at night and pretty immediately I had to squirt it all out.

I cannot wait until I start pooing some mucus or jelly! These wimpy poo’s aren’t the most fun. I slept fine[nothing special].

So I work up at 6:30 am and started making lemon juice, I made 12, 8oz servings to put in a huge gatorade bottle.

The cayenne pepper is pretty strong, but I got used to it after the first sip.

Work went fine, I peed a lot. Did the number 2 once. Did I say that the Salt Water Flush (SWF) didn’t work last night?

I haven’t been real hungry at all, my stomach has been a little rumbly around dinner time. I had six servings so far, I have four left that I made in the morning. Time to have that for dinner.

My girlfriend makes me go to the store to get food for her dinner. I took my drink with me, it was tempting at first but I just drank up and I was full. Ohh yeah did I mention that I am a vegetarian? I just walked through the meat isle and I wasn’t hungry anymore.

I got some tea, one is called Smooth Move, yes a laxative by Traditional Medicinals, $7 a box! I also got a mint tea. Hopefully I will take a #2 after the tea… the salt water didn’t work last night.

I drank the tea, hopped in bed and fell asleep. No #2 for me

I felt fine all day, at night I felt like I was going to get a headache but it never happened.

I recently read this post on how you should do fasts only after you have started eating better, instead of what usually happens; You go on a fast so you can start eating better.

It is an interesting read, he has an analogy about building a house and how it relates to preparation for fasting and it’s effects.

Remember, fasting is not a quick weightless plan, it is not a cure for all diseases, nor is it an instant pathway to God and spiritual enlightenment. Fasting is a tool and the more prepared we are to use that tool, the better our results will be.

Thanks for the reminder buddy

So the day before I begin I make sure I have the correct stuff(pictures soon):

• lemons
• maple syrup – I got it at costco and they only had Grade A(B is supposedly the best for the cleanse)
• Cayenne pepper
• Britta water filer
• Sea salt

I had yogurt for breakfast, spaghetti for lunch, and a costco pizza for dinner. The costco pizza was just b/c I had to get the maple syrup. Times supermarket was selling a small container for $7, costco was $17 for a jug.

The night before you are supposed to take a Salt Water Flush (SWF) and I did, but this was after I went out with thumper and kai. Thumper was on the island for the night so we went to Waikiki and had a beer at field house or yard house I confuse the two. I had some Belgian beer named ninicks or something like that, it was pretty good, severed in a goblet. Thumper and Kai both got an Eclipse which is half blue moon white ale and half gineus in huge half yard things.

I came home at around midnight and drank my 320z of warm water and 2 tsp of sea salt. I was expecting to have the squirts in the night but woke up fine.
